How To Make Carrot Soap

 Carrot soap is often used for its antioxidant and moisturizing properties. In this article, I will introduce how to make carrot soap.

You might ask the question “Why carrot soap?” But carrots have a number of properties that are really beneficial to the skin . After you've seen all the benefits of carrot soap for your skin and how easy it is to make, you'll want to make your own carrot soap. Not only that, but handmade soaps add a cute touch to your bathroom or warm your home.

Carrot Benefits

Carrots are really beneficial for the skin . Eating carrots has the following benefits:

• High levels of vitamin A help protect the skin. Vitamin A is a natural antioxidant that attacks free radicals that cause aging .
• Vitamin C brings a healthy glow to the skin.
• Carrots promote collagen production , an important ingredient for skin elasticity .
• Potassium helps keep your skin moist .
• Antioxidants can help treat acne, dermatitis, pimples, and any skin condition caused by a lack of vitamin A.
• Beta carotene protects the skin from the sun's rays.

The benefits of carrot soap for your skin

Applying all of these nutrients topically will give you all of the previously mentioned skin benefits. This is most effective because the skin can absorb nutrients through the epithelial cells .

Other benefits of using carrot soap include:

• Helps improve eczema .
• Makes the skin smooth and soft.
• Ideal for people with sensitive skin .
• Relieve nipple pain caused by lactation.
• Improves wound regeneration .

How To Make Carrot Soap

material

• water
• 2 carrots (60 g)
• 1 teaspoon salt (5 g)
• 1 cup of caustic soda (112 g)
• 2 cups of olive oil (400 ml)
• 1/2 cup (100 ml) castor oil
• 3 cups (300 ml) coconut oil
• 25-30 drops of ylang-ylang oil (5 g)
• Various silicone or wooden frame

Way

Before you start, it's important to make sure you have good ventilation, preferably outdoors. You also need to wear gloves and glasses. Caustic soda is corrosive and can irritate the skin if contacted. You should also use plastic or wooden containers.

1. Boil carrots in plenty of water. Keep the water without throwing it away as it is necessary to make soap in your needle .
2. Crush the carrots until the dough comes out .
3. Put the carrot puree in a bowl with some salt and 190 ml of water used to cook the carrots.
4. Add caustic soda little by little and stir well with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are well mixed.
5. After mixing, you can see that the mixture is hot. This is because of caustic soda. Allow the mixture to cool for 1 hour .
6. When the mixture cools, pour in oil and stir well with a wooden spoon . Continue stirring the mixture in circles until a doughy consistency is obtained.
7. Pour the mixture into a wooden or silicone mold. If you are using a wooden frame, place it in the frame with the shiny side of the parchment paper facing out. This makes it easier to remove the soap from the mold .
8. Soap solidifies for 48 hours . 
9. Then take it out of the mold and cut it into pieces.
10. Store it on a shelf in a well-ventilated space for 6 weeks . The wait is long, but the soap must be stored before use.

After the soap is stored, you can use it.
