Let's see what props are needed to make handmade soap. 1. Pots (stainless steel) are used to mix vegetable oil and liquid alkali. It's best to choose pots with glass covers, and the depth of the pots must be enough without too much volume, otherwise there will be problems when stirring. Soap splashes and the pots must have heat-resistant handles, which will make DIY more happy. < p It is best to use electronic scales with high precision and wide weighing range as raw materials for the scales, and spring scales are not recommended

3. Large-volume glass beakers->; For liquid alkali, I suggest that you choose a 5ml beaker, which is very convenient and practical, and easy to scrub

4. Empty bottles (glass products) with lids are used to hold liquid alkali water, and alkali liquor and water are mixed once, which is more convenient for later use

5. Stainless steel or wooden spoons are used to mix caustic soda and water, and it is recommended that the spoon handle be longer. This is convenient for you to use

6. The whisk (stainless steel), that is, the egg beater we often say, is used to stir the oil, and the manual soap solution

7. The thermometer is used to measure the temperature of vegetable oil and liquid alkali water, and the measuring temperature is preferably about 15 degrees Celsius

8. The measuring spoon is used to measure additives or herbs and other raw materials, which are available in pharmacies

9. The small-capacity measuring cup is used to hold base oil or herb soaking solution. Raw materials such as dried flowers

1. Plastic containers, jelly boxes or empty milk cartons, which are discarded as garbage every day, can be used as models of handmade soaps

11. Towels are used to keep warm and mature handmade soaps

12. Knives are used to divide soaps. Try to choose serrated knives

13. bibs are used to protect everyone's beautiful clothes. You can choose a bib for cooking in the kitchen

14. Plastic gloves are used to protect your hands from erosion. It is best to choose high-quality long-sleeved plastic gloves

15. Dust-shielding glasses are used to protect your eyes and prevent soap from splashing and hurting your eyes. You can use goggles for engineering

16. Old newspapers, Paper towels are used to prevent the places where handmade soaps are made and to clean them up after manufacture

17. White rice vinegar is used to neutralize liquid alkali and its splashing soap liquid, so as to avoid furniture decoration and damage to your skin

The above are basically the basic tools needed by a qualified handmade soap maker, and see if you have them all. If not, please pay attention to your kitchen. Is there any product that can be replaced ...

transparent soap base

Generally speaking, transparent soap base is transparent, but some manufacturers first add titanium oxide to soap base to become white soap base, which saves the procedure of adding titanium oxide ourselves, but it is recommended that you use transparent soap base, and you can add titanium oxide to make it opaque according to your actual situation, because transparent' can become opaque. But opaque can't become transparent, a bit like tongue twisters ...

The source of soap base used: transparent soap base, a transparent handmade soap material, is the most guaranteed in quality.

When purchasing soap base, try to avoid choosing the one with alcohol smell. If the alcohol smell is too strong, you need a lot of essence to cover the alcohol smell. However, although the finished product has no alcohol smell, it may feel stuffy from a distance because of adding a lot of essence. If you buy a large quantity, it is suggested to put a cockroach medicine such as cockroach-free medicine in the place where soap base is stored, because soap base contains oil, so I'm afraid cockroaches will be hungry when they are too hungry.

Pigment dyes

Pigments are first divided into natural and artificial, and then divided into the following forms: liquid, block, powder, etc., and then divided into oily and aqueous; As for handmade soap, all forms can be used, and there are basically no restrictions; The pigments I often use are mainly red, yellow and blue, and other colors can be adjusted by these three colors, such as purple is red and blue, green is yellow and blue, and orange is red and yellow. If you use liquid pigments, you only need one or two drops at a time, so the dosage is very economical, so I haven't bought any dyes yet. Color block is a soap dissolved in high-dose dye. Every time you use it, you can cut a little color block and melt it with the soap base to adjust the color. As for the powdery pigment, before using the toner, you can dissolve the toner in glycerin, put the glycerin into a bottle like an eye medicine bottle, and drop a few drops as needed every time you use it. If there is food pigment at home, it can also be replaced by food pigment, but handmade soap will fade faster.

In addition, some natural materials can also be dyed, such as honey turns soap orange, propolis turns soap brown and activated carbon powder turns soap black. It should be noted that if plants, fruits and vegetables, such as roses and lavender, are added, these additives will turn brown, and the brown will gradually faint, which is far from the original expectation.

essence

fragrance is one of the main bases for many people to buy handmade soaps. These fragrances are blended with essence or essential oil. You can buy several bottles of common essence to blend your favorite fragrance, or buy the prepared essence. You can also use essential oil, but the volatile oil is faster and the cost is much higher.

Additives

Using additives can make handmade soap more suitable for users' skin, or make handmade soap have special uses. For example, adding ground oatmeal can exfoliate and soften skin, adding honey or glycerin can moisturize, adding milk to soften soap, adding salt to make handmade soap harder, adding sugar to make foam more, and adding dried flowers and plants (safe for making tea) are very distinctive. At present, my favorite additive is honey, which can keep moisture. Soap with honey looks warmer. It should be noted that if additives are organic substances, such as fruit and vegetable juice, dried flowers, milk, etc., the shelf life of soap will be shortened, and it is best to use them up within six months.

The content of a handmade art soap is about these. What can be changed is the shape, color, fragrance and additives. These different combinations can change infinite possibilities and enrich our bathing pleasure. You can try to make some handmade soaps, find out the best formula for you and protect your skin.

Add about .1%~ .2% salt: improve the transparency of soap base. The addition amount and the hygroscopicity (softening) ratio of the soap base are decreasing. The addition of titanium oxide is about .1%~ .5%, which reduces the transparency of the soap base and makes it slightly transparent/translucent/white. < P > Pay attention to the fact that adults should be accompanied during the production of safe children to enhance the interest of learning and growth. It can also prevent the microwave oven, induction cooker and gas stove with stainless steel as the inner pot (for holding soap base) from being made, and the suitable container materials (plates and outer pots) should be selected.
