Herbal Handmade Soap
Herbal handmade soap has become a popular trend that is expected to stay around for a long time. Best of all, this type of homemade soap is ideal for the entire family, women, men, and even the children.
Typically, people think of handmade soap as being made with fresh flowers or essential oils, not herbs. However, with experimentation, it has been discovered that many herbs actually produce a wonderful soap that lathers well, leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth, and smells fresh and invigorating.
The key to incredible handmade soap is staying away from animal fats, dyes, or preservatives. This way, the soap is 100% natural. In fact, you could even fortify your herbal handmade soap by using vitamin E, palm kernel, coconut, olive oil, and other food-grade vegetable oils. In addition, herbal soaps can be infused with various ingredients to include butters, spices, sweet milk, buttermilk, goat’s milk, and essential oils. The final product is a wonderful smelling soap that creates a rich lather while offering undeniable fragrance.
Okay, so what types of herbs work best with handmade soap? The choices may surprise you. For instance, if you want something for a good, everyday soap, ingredients to include comfrey leaf, aloe vera, jojoba, and teas such as chickweed and elecampane are perfect. Other benefits to this combination in addition to a great skin moisturizer are that the herbs help reduce inflammation and are excellent for people with sensitive skin.
