Turmeric Ginger and Honey Soap Recipe
This turmeric soap recipe makes a homemade face soap with skin-healing properties to remedy acne, dark spots, and red, irritated skin while bringing about a natural glow. The easy melt-and-pour method only takes 20 minutes before the soap is ready to set and then use.
Yield: 1 pound of soap
Cost: $20
Equipment
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Chef's knife
- 1 Double boiler or microwave
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Teaspoon
- 1 Fork or whisk
Materials
- 1 pound melt and pour base
- 50 drops ginger essential oil
- 25 drops turmeric essential oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
Instructions
- Divide the base into smaller chunks and melt in a double boiler or microwave, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Add the essential oils and turmeric powder. Whisk well with a fork. Avoid lumps and get a nice, even color by sprinkling the powder evenly over the top rather than dumping the whole teaspoon in one single place. Drizzle honey into the liquid soap and gently push visible honey ribbons throughout the mix with the fork or whisk to combine well.
- Pour the soap mixture into your mold. Leave to set and firm up in a cool, undisturbed place at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
- Once completely firm, remove the soap from the mold. Cut into individual bars if using a loaf mold. Use immediately and store other pieces in a cool dark area by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap first.
