Improve Your Soaps with Essential Oils?
by Veda Oils VedaoilsSoaps have a fragrance in them which
mesmerizes you and it is also one of the most inviting aspects of them.
However, most of the soaps you buy from retail shops use artificial scents or
chemicals in them which are not ideal for your skin or overall wellness.
If essential oils are used in the soaps
instead of artificial scents, then the soaps can be much better as the
essential oils have innate natural qualities in them which are beneficial for
your mind and body. Today, we will look at some essential oils that can make
your soaps invigorating and full of natural goodness.
Recipe
Let's see how to make natural DIY soap
with essential
oils.
Ingredients
Unscented castile soap (or any of old or
new soaps that you wish to improve)
One-third cup of oatmeal
Vitamin E oil – 1 teaspoon
Herbs – Lavender and Rosemary (Both
Dried)
Essential oils of your preference – 30
drops
Procedure
·
Rub the soap bars over
the grater so that you convert it into powdered form.
·
Grind the oatmeal in a
mixer or grinder. Start melting the soap slowly on medium heat.
·
After the soap melts,
let it cool down a bit and after that mix oatmeal, Vitamin E, and essential
oils in it.
·
Now, don't let the soap
set and pour it immediately in a soap mold. Let the soap sit for at least a
week before you start using it. It is a good practice to store it in a
container that is completely airtight so that it sits perfectly.

Benefits of essential oils in soap
There are several benefits of essential
oils and it also depends on the essential oil you are using in the soap making
process. Here are a few benefits of essential oils when used in soaps:
·
Most of the essential
oils are skin-friendly and do not cause any irritation. Some essential oils
like Bergamot even provide some relief from skin disorders such as eczema.
·
Essential oils
naturally moisturize the skin and open up its pores. Essential oils have
anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties which make them safe to use.
Moreover, they are anti-inflammatory and provide relief to those who are
suffering from inflammation.
·
They reduce fine lines
and wrinkles and therefore prove to be anti-aging as well.
·
Natural oils like
lavender, peppermint, etc. have a soothing effect on your mind. They boost our
mood and keep us happy and cheerful throughout the day.
·
Essential oils give a
fresh aroma to the soaps that can be invigorating. Lime and citrus oil help
protect your body from foul smell for a long period.
·
These oils are
especially helpful for people who have dry or sensitive skin. Some researchers
also claim that these oils work wonders for people who have oily skin as
well.
·
Many studies also say
that some of the essential oils help in reducing dark spots and pimples.
Importance
Essential oils are being used on a large
scale in the soap making process especially if the brand boasts of providing
natural and chemical-free soaps. They not only impart a fresh and inviting
aroma to the soaps but also play an important role in the final output.
You can blend different essential oils
to give a particular color to your soap. Therefore, you need not use artificial
colors if you use the essential oils smartly. They also play a deciding role in
the final scent and composition of the soap.
You can buy quality essential oils from Vedaoils.
