Step 1: Gather Soap Making Ingredients and Equipment
To create a homemade liquid soap, you will need to gather the following ingredients and materials:
– ⅔ cup castile soap of your choice.
– 5-10 drops essential oil of your choice (optional).
– 1 tablespoon oil (olive oil, grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil).
– 5 cups water.
– A pot.
– A bowl.
– A mixing spoon.
– A funnel.
– A soap dispenser container.
Step 2: Add Water to a Pot
The first step in the process is to add 5 cups of water to a pot and place it on the stove. You will need to heat the water until it reaches boiling point using medium heat.
Step 3: Add the Castile Soap
Once the water starts boiling, turn off the heat and allow it to cool for a minute or two. Then, add ⅔ cup of castile soap to the pot and stir the mixture thoroughly until the soap dissolves completely.
Step 4: Add Essential Oil and Oil
If you would like to add an essential oil to your liquid soap, add 5-10 drops of your preferred essential oil into the liquid soap mixture and mix with your spoon. Additionally, you can add a tablespoon of oil to the soap mixture; it helps to make the soap less drying on your skin. We recommend olive oil, grapeseed oil, or sweet almond oil.
Step 5: Pour and Store
After adding the ingredients and mixing them thoroughly, use a funnel to pour the mixture into the soap dispenser container. Allow the liquid soap to cool to room temperature before putting the dispenser lid on. You are done- your homemade liquid soap is now ready and can last for several months.
