Annonce:
- Prepare the Cucumber:
- Wash the cucumber thoroughly.
- Cut it into chunks and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solid particles. This cucumber juice will be used in the soap making process.
- Melt the Soap Base:
- Cut the soap base into small chunks to help it melt evenly.
- Place the soap chunks into a microwave-safe bowl or into the top part of a double boiler.
- If using a microwave, heat the soap base in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. If using a double boiler, heat over medium heat while stirring gently until melted.
- Mix Ingredients:
- Once the soap base is melted, add the cucumber juice and aloe vera gel. Stir thoroughly to ensure the mix is homogenous.
- If using essential oils, add them at this stage. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Pour into Molds:
- Carefully pour the mixture into your soap molds. Make sure to do this step slowly to avoid creating air bubbles.
- If bubbles form on the surface, lightly spray with alcohol to remove them.
- Set the Soap:
- Allow the soap to cool and harden. This usually takes about 1-2 hours, but you can also place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
- Once set, gently remove the soaps from the molds.
- Curing (Optional):
- While melt and pour soaps don’t require curing, you may leave them out for a few days to fully harden, especially if you live in a humid environment.
