The times of haberdashery deficiency have long been in the past, and store shelves delight the eye with a variety of soap products. But how much this soap is safe for our skin and our health in general - the question is quite controversial. This is why home soap making is gaining popularity. In our today's master class we will tell you how to make soap in a microwave oven.
For cooking soap in the microwave we will need:
- soap base or purchased baby soap;
- Libra;
- sharp knife;
- utensils for a microwave oven;
- a spoon for stirring;
- natural dyes and essential oils;
- silicone molds for soap.
We cut the soap base or baby soap into small cubes. This will help significantly reduce the time for melting soap in the microwave. Determine how much you need a soap base to fill all the molds can be so - fill the molds with water, and then drain this water into one container and weigh. Soap base will need 10% more than in the molds fit water.
Cover the container with soap and polyethylene film to avoid splashing and keep all moisture in the base. Then the container with soap should be placed in the microwave and turned on for a maximum capacity of 2-3 minutes.
Every 30 seconds, soap in the tank should be stirred.
While the soap melts, prepare the silicone molds and wipe them with alcohol.
When the soap base is completely melted, essential oils and colorants should be added to it quickly.
After this, the soap must be thoroughly mixed, making sure that air bubbles do not form on the surface.
We pour out soap on the molds.
Spoon or knife gently remove from the surface of the soap bubbles of air.
Ready soap is set aside until it is completely solidified.
Soap from remnants in the microwave
Another way to cook soap in a microwave is to make it out of remnants. For this we need different pieces of soap, glycerin, aromatic oil, hot water and olive oil.

We grind the remnants with a knife or with a grater.
We mix the soap shavings and add a little hot water, glycerin and aromatic oil. The mixture should be of medium density.
Lubricate soap molds with olive oil.
We send the container with soap to the microwave. How to melt the soap in the microwave you already know. The most important thing is to prevent the soap mixture from boiling. When the soap melts, pour it on the molds and set aside until completely hardened.
This handmade soap is not a shame to give to your loved ones and enjoy yourself.
