Brighten your day by and bring a glow to your skin when you use soaps made from natural ingredients. Arina Soler of BellaCreme teaches three different processes for making soaps that cleanse and nourish skin without the drying and irritation that can occur from repeated hand-washing. You’ll use specialty ingredients like lye, glycerine, and soap molds, plus botanicals and essential oils in order to make a scent profile that’s customized to you.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Carrier oils such as coconut oil, soybean oil, or shea butter
Sodium hydroxide (lye)
Distilled water
Slow cooker
Two silicone spatulas
1-2 stainless steel bowls or other non-reactive containers
2 measuring cups
Immersion blender
2lb silicone soap mold
Old towel to wrap loaf mold
Soap cutter or bench knife
Safety gear: N95 mask, gloves, goggles, white vinegar (neutralizer),
Optional: Thermometer, pure essential oils, castor oil, natural colorants (i.e. tumeric, food coloring)
