Making Home-Made Lemon Soaps!

Hey guys, If you are looking to make some home-made lemon soaps, I have the perfect recipe to share! It is not only quite easy to make, but smells great as well! The citrus scent rejuvenates the skin and the great texture of the soap, smoothens the skin. The lemon zest present in the recipe gives the soap a great texture.

You will goat milk’s as the soap base. It is easily available in many grocery and craft stores. You don’t have to add any color to the soap as well. The lemon zest mixed in gives the soap its own natural yellow color.

You will need the following:

1) Goat’s milk soap base

2) Lemon zest of 4-5 lemons

3) Lemon essential oil.

4) Molds of your liking

You will begin by cutting the soap in cubes. Put it in a large Pyrex cup and melt it in a microwave at 30 seconds intervals.13-14 Goat milk’s soap base will make about 3 bars of lemon soap.  Melt the entire soap in about a minute; make sure it’s a liquid. If not, you can microwave for longer. After the soap cubes have turned into a liquid, add a few drops of lemon essential oils into it. Next, add the lemon zest and stir it well.

After mixing everything together, pour the soap into molds of your choice and allow it to set. The mixture should harden in about an hour.
Keep in mind that adding lemon zest will require you to add preservatives as well. You can use vitamin e oil as a preservative. In case a preservative is not available, you can omit using the lemon zest. The essential oils are enough to provide the lemon scent.

Lemon soaps are great to use by everybody! You can make a couple of these to gift it to your mom or sister. They will love it as a birthday or thanksgiving present!
