Make your own Soap

How to make your own soap with a Melt & Pour Soap kit from Gaia



Homemade Soap easy as a piece of cake
with your Soap making Kit from Gaia
The Gaia Soap Making Kit includes everything you need to make your own soap. 

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.

Grate your scent free soap 

Melt in a Bain Marie…. you won t need the lid !

This is what the melted soap looks like
and remember not to
over stir it
Step 2 
Now add the exfoliants and your essential oil and gently stir it in well. Make sure that the essential oils are very well incorporated. Again stir gently to avoid frothiness.
Exfoliants and essential oils and moulds at the ready 

add your exfoliants and essential oils and stir
thoroughly but gently!


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 ….

The results looks like soap delicatessen
& there are many ways to display
& package to make  lovely presents




The soap kits are available at our shop GAIA bath time
