Steps to learn how to make liquid soap from a bar of soap

The procedure is very simple. Take a 100-gram bar of soap and with the help of a knife mark half of the bar. To take the 20 grams that we will use to make the liquid soap, take the knife again to mark another half on that half. You will have approximately 20 grams.

Next, take a grater and a container to grate the bar of soap. The mark we previously made on the soap will serve as a guide.

To liquefy this amount of soap we will need about 500 milliliters of water. Then pour it over the saucepan to bring it to heat over medium heat. Wait a few minutes and then add the grated soap.

Stir the soap little by little with the help of a wooden fork to dissolve it well. When it is fully diluted, put the mixture in the bowl and add the aromatic essence you want: sweet almonds, rosehip, coconut, lavender, argan... About 25 milliliters would be enough, but you can add the essence you want.

When the soap has cooled you will see that it will have thickened, so to get that liquid texture you will need to use a fork to beat it like an egg. When you get a liquid texture that you like, it will be time to add the soap to the bottle with a dispenser.

And it would be ready! As you can see, this is a very simple way to learn how to make liquid soap. Will you put it into practice?
