A simple method to turn soap scraps into luxurious liquid soap.
Hey everyone! Who hasn’t come across those leftover pieces of soap that seem too small to use but too big to throw away?
Well, today I bring you an incredible and sustainable solution to this dilemma: let’s learn how to transform these leftovers into a wonderful and economical liquid soap.
Besides being a fantastic way to reduce waste, you’ll create a high-quality, fragrant, and skin-friendly product. Let’s take a look at the steps.
What You Will Need:
- Soap Remains : Quantity equivalent to 3 bars of soap.
- 1 Large Grater : To facilitate the dissolution process.
- 1 Pan : Where we will melt the soap with water.
- 600 ml of Water : This measurement is for the amount of soap mentioned, adjust as needed.
How to do it:
-
- Preparation : Chop or grate the soap scraps. If you choose to chop, cut them into small pieces to make them easier to melt.
- Heating : In a saucepan, combine the soap pieces and 600 ml of water. Heat over moderate heat, stirring constantly until the soaps dissolve completely and the mixture begins to boil.
- Ideal Consistency : Continue stirring until the mixture reaches a creamy texture. If it feels too runny, reduce it a little more. If it’s too thick, add a little more water until you reach the desired consistency.
- Customization : Here comes the fun part! Add about 5 drops of your favorite essential oil. Lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, and orange are great choices that will give your liquid soap an incredible scent. But feel free to get creative and create your own unique fragrance.
- Packaging : Once the liquid soap is ready, let it cool slightly and then transfer it to the bottle of your choice. A pump bottle is fine for easy use in the bathroom and kitchen.
Additional Benefits:
- Economical : You will get the most out of your soaps, saving money and resources.
- Sustainable : Less waste means less trash in the environment.
- Gentle on Skin : By avoiding excessive use of chemicals and preservatives, you get a liquid soap that is gentle and kind to your skin.
Extra Tips:
- For an even more nourishing liquid soap, consider adding a little vegetable glycerin to the mix.
- If you want an antibacterial liquid soap, add a few drops of tea tree oil along with the essential oil of your choice.
And there you have it! A simple, practical, and totally usable method for transforming soap scraps into luxurious liquid soap.
