By preparing the soap ourselves we ensure that all the ingredients we use are natural and prevent the possible appearance of allergies to synthetic products
Natural soaps can be prepared with different ingredients and in different ways. And, despite the fact that there are countless products from which we can obtain the best handmade soap, today we focus on honey, orange and cinnamon soap.
It is important to know that the vast majority of soaps you buy are not really natural soaps, but detergents. Generally, they are products made with chemical substances that often mistreat your skin. Even more so if you have delicate skin or you want to look as radiant as possible.
There are also many people who are allergic to different soaps that, although they appear to be very gentle on the skin, end up creating allergies that you did not have before.
It is for this reason that we want to recommend that you make your own soaps, naturally, economically and easily. With ingredients that are easy to buy and, most importantly, free of chemicals that can be devastating to your skin.

Soap preparation
If you want your soap to have an intense smell, you can increase the amount of essential oils and fragrance; that already depends on your taste.
- You must use a silicone mold that can withstand high temperatures. Depending on the size of the mold, this will be your soap.
- Apply a little cinnamon powder to the bottom of the silicone mold. This so that, when the soap is completely finished, it has cinnamon bits that will give it a good fragrance.
- Bring essential oils to a boil over low heat. Try not to heat over 70 degrees.
- Put the water with the aloe vera in a glass. In another glass, put a little of the caustic soda. For this step, you need to put on glasses and a protective mask.
How to mix the ingredients
- In a glass, mix the caustic soda with water and stir it well. This will produce a lot of heat and steam. Let it cool slightly and add a teaspoon of honey.
- In another clean container, mix the soda and water with the essential oils, and beat until it is like a gel. This should be done with the safety glasses.
- Apply 10 drops of lemon to essential oils. This aims to fix citrus essential oils.
- Add the oil mixture, the caustic soda, the water and the lemon drop to the mold. This can be placed on top of wooden board for added security.
- Once all the mixture is well deposited in the mold, the mixture should be left to rest for 6 to 24 hours. Later, you will see how you can remove the soap from the mold when it is completely hard and appears to be dry.
- Finally, you can put it to dry in a ventilated place for 6 to 8 weeks.
