 HOW TO MAKE SOAP

Today I made Neem-Aloe Vera soap.

It was really fun and easy and you can make it at home.

So I am going to write down the steps so that you can make it too :)

1. Get a handful of neem leaves and wash them

2. Grinder them along with 2-3 spoons of water

3. Filter the water and throw the leaves back to the plant

You should get a watery green liquid

4. Then get some aloe vera and add a little of the jelly depending on how much neem water you get

5. Mix the aloe vera jelly with the neem water and you should get a jelly like liquid

6. Add about 1-2 spoons of coconut/almond oil

7. You can add essential oils if you want to

I didn’t add any because the almond oil I added already smelt very nice :) 

8. Next you have to melt about 250g of soap base (or less/more depending on how much liquid neem-aloe paste you have) using double-boiler method 

Mix the neem-aloe paste with the soap base

9. Get mould to set the soap in.

You can even use a normal box and cut the soap later

I used a cupcake box :)

10. Pour the liquid into the mould and let it set for about 2-3 hours

(It takes longer sometimes so let it set for some more time if its still very sticky)

And the soap is ready :)

It’s natural, smells nice and has a good lather 

Perfect :)
