Since I’ve been a little lazy lately, I want to make up to you and indulge you by writing a nice and sweet mixing formula for a chocolate soap.

You’ll have to use :

• 1 l of colza oil (rape oil )
  
• 1 kg of coconut grease (fat)
• 5 spoons of cococa
• 10 ml of vanilla essence (which has to be oily )
• 15 spoons of milk
• 5 spoons of dried milk
• 250 g of NaOH caustic soda (soda-lye) aka hydroxide sodium
• 440 ml of distilled water

After you have all the ingredients together you’ll have to use them like this :

1^st step : you take the coconut grease and the colza oil and put them togheter in a special bowl. You’ll have to place this bowl on a heater, and to let it there until the coconut grease starts to melt and has a temperature at about 50-56 degree

2^nd step: you pour the water in a recipient , and slowly add the soda-lye.  after that you take all this mixture to cool off , until it has approximately 60 degrees.

3^rd step. After you have reached the proper temperature in the first 2 steps you pour the water and soda mixture into the grease mixture. you have to stir up constantly with a wood spoon.

4^th step Now you have to stir up this all new mixture for about half an hour. You can use a mixer to ease your work. When you see that the composition starts to thicken, you gently pour on all the ingredients , stiring up with the wood spoon, then with the mixer. When it looks like a pudding (when it has a sausage structure), you pour the mixture into forms. (any forms that you want and have decided earlier). You cover them with some blankets, and the mixture has to stay like this about 24 hours.

5^th step. Now you  to take the soap from the forms , (if you have little forms you just take the soap from them, and if you have a bigger form such as a tray you can cut the soap into pieces in any shape you want ).

6^th step. All you have to do now is to wait about 2 months ( at least 6 weeks), and then you can startenjoying your new chocolate soap.

Hope you’ll find this interesting , and you’ll give it a thought.

Good luck at your work . The soap is a delicious one, it moisture the skin and makes you want to eat it. If you wrap it up nicely it could be a great present .

Some people see our skin as our third kidney because through pores it  eliminates the toxins as same as the kidneys filter the water.

The procedure of making this soap takes about 1 hour – one hour and a half , and the results are incredible .

All you need is this:

a spoon of wood

a jar of glass of 5 litres

some recipients (In which you’ll pour the soap)

Types of homemade perfumes

based on their strength and of how much they are dilated there are considered to be 3 types of home made perfumes

1. Perfume Essence
2. Toilet water(a perfumed liquid lighter than cologne)
3. Cologne

1.The Essence- is pure perfume. A perfume that you can buy from a store can be a pretty great one and it can also have an accessible price but it’s surely not an essence There are stores form which you can buy the essence of perfume and apply it to your skin, or use it different combination and then use it the way you want. The reason why in perfumes the essence is dilated with another base it because is saving money(pure essence is usually very expensive and sometimes hard to get), and because sometime applied directly to skin can cause damage..the perfume essence is the strongest one compared with toilet water and cologne.

2.Toilet water- is a perfume mixed with a base which drops the aroma of the used essence.Most products bought from the store are toilet water.The common point of this prepared perfumes are different types of alcohol which is prepared in a special way so that it could keep the scent (smell) in time .The toilet water contains approximate 20% essence and 80% perfume basee cologne.

3.The  Cologne -is considered to be a toilet water mixed with a substance that dilutes.Even if it’s used sometimes by men as perfume, it’s actually not a perfume, it’s used as a refreshing water. the difference is that is not as strong as a perfume and as a result it will evaporate to quickly, it doesn’t last to long..the cologne contains about 10% essence and different mixtures of nice smelling substances that makes it lasts longer.
