I love making soap in the semi-hot way. This is a method that can only be used in winter when the heating is on. I wrap the form with soap and put it on the battery for 3 days. All these days, my soap goes through the gel stage and, accordingly, all saponification processes take place and there is no free alkali left. After I remove the soap from the battery, I leave it to harden and cool for another day. And after cutting, this soap can be used immediately.

Loofah is a natural, environmentally friendly product. This sponge is similar to a washcloth, which is made from the fibrous mass of a special variety of gourds.

Loofah is used in soap as a scrub - it removes the layer of dead skin cells and actively fights cellulite. The skin becomes elastic and silky.

Regular use of Sea Buckthorn soap promotes cleansing of the sebaceous glands, speedy healing of wounds and cracks.

In addition, “Sea buckthorn” soap noticeably improves the overall tone, enhances protective function skin. In general, this piece of soap was a storehouse of vitamins. O useful properties we learned soap, let's start soap making.

So, we need:

• Plastic or silicone mold
• Transparent soap base 90 grams
• Sea buckthorn oil
• Alcohol
• Disposable plastic cups
• mixing stick
• Container for soaking loofah.

Manufacturing technique

1. Cut the soap base into cubes about 2 cm in size (for faster and even melting)

2. Cut off the loofah right size in form. Immerse in boiling water for 15-20 minutes to make it as soft as possible (if this is not done, you can scratch the skin)

3. Melt the soap base in the microwave in disposable plastic cups/chemical cups (or in a ladle over a water bath). When making soap self made it is important not to overheat the base in the oven, it cannot boil, it begins to lose its properties.

4. Add a teaspoon of sea buckthorn oil. The oil will not only give the soap its beneficial properties, but will also act as a natural dye, coloring the soap in a yellow-orange color. Perfume can be added to the soap if desired, however, sea buckthorn oil and its ground seeds themselves have a very subtle, barely perceptible aroma.
