Is homemade soap better for your skin?

Since handmade soap contains glycerin, an emollient which attracts moisture from the air, it is an excellent moisturizer. This is just one of the reasons that homemade soap is good for your skin.

Of course, in addition to fragrance, you can add things to your homemade soap to make it look pretty, or to make it exfoliating for rough dry skin. Popular additions to soap include dried flowers and herbs, seeds, and oatmeal.

Making soap for beginners is easiest when you use a melt and pour soap base, which is what this cucumber melon soap recipe calls for. You will find this process of soap making to be easy, and practically effortless.

Making your own cucumber melon soap is very easy and you will just need a few items to complete the process of making your own soap bars.

Makes 6 oval bars if using same mold

Ingredients/Supplies:

• 1 pound melt & pour goats milk soap base
• 10 drops cucumber melon fragrance oil
• 2 drops kiwi soap coloring
• Oval silicone mold
• Large measuring cup
• Wooden craft stick for stirring

Directions:

1. Melt the soap in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. If it is not completely melted, put it back on for 10 second increments, until fully melted.
2. Add the fragrance oil and soap coloring. Mix well.
3. Pour into the silicone mold and let set for about an hour.
4. Remove the bars of soap from the mold and store in an airtight bag or container. If gifting the soaps, I like to wrap them in twine.
