| Homemade Soap easy as a piece of cake with your Soap making Kit from Gaia |
1 kg of scent free melt and pour soap, a selection of exfoliants, essential oils and even a small selection of moulds. All you will need it a Bain Marie which is basically a pot within a pot where the bottom pot is filled with water.
In 3 easy steps we will show you here how to make it.
Step 1
Firstly grate your soap pieces and in a Bain Marie melt it down. To help the melting process add just a very small amount of water. To melt 1 kg you should use about 180 ml of water so if you are making less soap you need to do you math! Don t over stir your melted soap as it will get took frothy.

Step 2

Step 3
Use a little sunflower oil to oil your moulds before pouring the liquid soap into your prepared moulds. This helps with getting the soaps out next day.
Leave them over night, turn them out and leave them to dry for a couple of weeks.
Your soaps are now ready to use and you should let your imagination find wonderful ways to wrap and package them to make wonderful present for friends and family. Soap making is also a nice activity for you and your kids ….
