Hi guys, I went to a Handmade Soap Workshop today, it was so interesting and fun. The owner is so friendly and she willing to share everything about handmade soap. :) I made an appointment to learn how to made the Cold Process Soap. It is totally different from the one I made during my secondary school.
Besides on learning the process, I also interviewed her to do my agriculture report and it might publish on coming Wednesday. Stay Tune Nanyang Siang Pau 《南洋商报》.Hehehe... I am very encourage the friends who like the natural thinggy to try out the handmade soap. I first knew it was 3 years ago, I asked a seller to customize me a soap based on my skin conditions and the effect i want. It was a goats milk +charcoal+red mud soap. The function was control face oil, and keep your skin moisturized.
It was awesome to use, it smelled like REALLY natural!
Okay, back to the workshop. There are the apparatus to use ... And the main ingredients are oils(Based on the hardness/uses of you want, calculated),NaOH, some natural ingredients that enhance the soap to give more effect on the use or sight.
And today, I got the goats milk yay. Awesome ingredient that I love the most! And my soap process was the Ice cold process, slightly different from the normal cold process(by adding ice around the container). The NaOH will turns hot when it liquidize, so the goats milk must be really freeze to make sure the nutrients are protected.
This is how the process look like. Of course, it is not easy as you read on my blog, everything must be finely counted, well prepared, and mix carefully. It takes time to stir. So i recommend you guys better go for a basic class before you start to make your own soap at home. I stir my soap mixture for about 45mins I think, and now I just left it in the workshop, to go through the Saponification process, it helps to let the pH value from 13 drop to about 8.5 which mean that the NaOH no longer active in the soap, and it is really a natural soap to use. Yay...
Tadaaa... These are the products from the owner. I highly recommend their water based lotion. It is so moisture and you definitely can feel the different after you apply on your skin. Due to the ingredients are NO chemical, I think it can apply on face? Because it is no different from the moisturizer that we can get in shops. Some breastmilk soap samples too, I tried on it, and I was so damn satisfied with the bubble texture, smell and the feeling of after used. I think you guys should try.
Okay, I think this is another sweet sharing after the Goats milk masks. Smile :D hope you guys like it then.
