Free Soapmaking Tutorial – Frankincense
Learn how to make soap using various oils, frankincense powder, and sodium hydroxide. This comprehensive lecture series covers measurements, benefits of ingredients, and safety precautions. Perfect for anyone interested in creating their own soap with improved fragrance and cosmetic benefits.
In this lecture series, I explain how to make soap using a number of oils, frankincense powder and sodium hydroxide. I measured 500 g of palm oil, 400 g of olive oil, 300 g of coconut oil, and 50 g of castor oil. The castor oil improves soap foam. I then measured 40 g of frankincense powder. Frankincense benefits include the ability to strengthen skin and improve its tone, elasticity, and defense mechanisms against bacteria or blemishes. We started using it in the soap-making process to accentuate these cosmetic benefits. I measured 10 g of cinnamon, 10 g of clove and 30 g of tangerine essential oils to improve soap fragrance. I then measured 177 g of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) “lye” and added it to 475 g of iced water. I mixed the water and NaOH in open air. Remember to use lab glasses, face mask and gloves while dealing with this mixture since it is toxic.
I mixed my measured ingredients. First, I added the frankincense powder to the mixture of oils I measured initially (palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil). I then added the “lye” solution to the oil and frankincense powder mixture once their temperatures matched. I mixed the solution and finally added the essential oils and dyes. Once the solution became a thick liquid, I added it to the soap mold.
