Making aloe soap at home is easy and doesn’t require complicated equipment. You can   start with a natural soap base (vegetable glycerin) and add fresh aloe vera gel and other natural ingredients of your choice.

Basic ingredients:

• 250 g of glycerine soap base (neutral or transparent)
• 2-3 tablespoons of pure aloe vera gel (preferably extracted from fresh leaves)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or olive oil (to nourish the skin)
• a few drops of essential oil (lavender, tea tree, lemon – optional)
• silicone molds for soap

Procedure:

1. Cut the soap base  into small pieces and melt it in a bain-marie, stirring slowly to avoid the formation of bubbles.
2. Once liquid,  add the aloe vera gel , the vegetable oil and – if desired – the essential oil of your choice. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
3. Pour the mixture into the molds and  leave to cool  at room temperature for a few hours, until completely hardened.
4. Remove the soap from the molds and  let it air dry for 24 hours  before using it.
5. You can store the soap in a cool, dry place for about 1-2 months. For optimal use, avoid prolonged contact with water when not in use: better to store it on a perforated or drying base.
