• Answer:

  The easy and basic Castile soap recipe Coming from Castilia or Castile, countryside in Spain where it originally came, a mottled, white, hard and fine soap, purely made from soda and olive oil hails. This soap may be slow and less to lather, yet it is made abundant and rich because of its main ingredient, the olive oil. They are popularly known as castle soaps. They are gentle and an ideal first soap for the babies. As contrasting to animal fats, castile soaps are created completely from olive oils as this vegetable is among the highly used component in making soaps. The castile soap recipe is not complicated to gather and make. In fact, you can make two-pound castle soap through the simple instructions on making soaps. To get started with your castle soaps, you must complete the entire list of castle soap recipe first. You need 1.8-pound 100% olive oil. They must be pure. You also need one ounce of pearls of beeswax, as this will give the bar soap a silky grain. Aside from that, to complete your Castile soap recipe are the four ounces of lye or sodium hydroxide and 10 ounces distilled water. To begin the soap making process, dissolve the beeswax in an olive oil until the temperature reaches about 120 degrees. You may add the sodium hydroxide, stirring the mixture well. Then add this stirred mixture to the beeswax or oil mixture when this gets cool at 120 degrees. Continue to stir the mixture until you can find no trace. After that, you may pour the mixture in a mold. The castile soap recipe may also be added with additives. One instance is the dried chamomile. One fourth of a cup of this will add trace and fragrance to your Castile bar soap. Other fragrances to add to your Castle soap recipe are the scents, oils and extracts of orange, eucalyptus, rose garden, citrus blend, rosemary and calendula. The pure olive oil that composes the Castile soap makes its lather a little different than other soaps made of other ingredients. Usually, castle soaps are slimy than creamy and foamy. Liquid Castile Soap Ingredients - 1 cup firmly packed grated Castile soap (about two 4 oz. bars) - 4 cups water - 2 tablespoons vegetable glycerin Before you begin, grate the castile soap with a cheese grater. Try to shred it as fine as possible since it will take less time to melt the soap down if the pieces are small. Mix the grated castile soap with the water in a large pot. Set over low heat, stirring occasionally until the castile soap has dissolved. Add glycerin. Keep your eye on it! Once dissolved, transfer to a jar and cover tightly. This makes a thick liquid soap. For a thinner liquid soap, add more water until desired consistency is reached. So now that I have liquid Castile Soap, what can I do with it? Bubble bath is always a great use for liquid castile soap. To the liquid castile soap recipe, add your favorite fragrant oils or essential oils, about 5 to 10 drops total. Pour about a cup or so of the bubble bath mix into the running bath water. To make a really decadent bubble bath, add 2 ounces of coconut oil to the mix. The oil will help moisturize your skin. Good skin care includes relaxation and lots of bubbles! (Be careful getting in and out of the tub as the oil will make things slippery.) Shampoo is another use for liquid castile soap. In a blender, blend together a half cup of liquid castile soap with a beaten egg, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Whip until smooth. Use immediately and follow with a hair rinse. Put any leftovers into the refrigerator and use the next day.
