My Reward PointsScented soap making is a simple art to perfect if you have good attention to detail and the ability to properly follow instructions. Once you've figured out how to create soap, you can start experimenting with your own handmade recipes to completely personalize it.
Making homemade scented soap is a lot of fun, and once you've tried an all-natural homemade scented soap bar, you won't want to go back to store-bought soaps. Making your own soap offers you total control over the process, and knowing the specific components provides peace of mind in today's world of chemical additions.
Why Use Homemade Fragrance Soap?
Most commercial soaps aren't actually soap. They're comparable to detergents since they're often made using synthetic components. Parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, triclosan, and phosphorus are examples of substances that irritate and dry the skin.
Some of these substances have even been linked to hormone disruption and cancer by scientists. Homemade scented soaps contain no such harmful chemicals and are 100% safe for your skin. They even provide much more moisturization than store-bought soaps. Plus, they smell heavenly!
How To Make Scented Soap Bars
