Benefits Of Dead Sea Salt Soap:

Dead Sea salt boasts of many skin benefits that help replenish and rejuvenate your skin. It helps lock moisture in your skin, reduces wrinkles and kills acne-causing bacteria. Dead sea salt is used as an ingredient in many organically prepared face masks and facial creams.

Dead Sea salt also helps curb itching, cleanses the skin and removes dead skin cells from your body. Its many essential properties treat and reduce symptoms of conditions like psoriasis, acne, and eczema. Most manufactured Dead Sea salt soaps help remove itching, while they also aid in cleansing your face and removing dead skin cells.

Usually, you can add any essential oil to the Sea Salt soap; however, we will use lavender essential oil and beeswax to give this soap a nice fragrance.

Making The Dead Sea Salt Soap:

Ingredients:

• 45 gm or 1 lb glycerin bar
• ¼ cup sea salt
• ½ tsp common salt
• 3-4 drops lavender essential oil
• ½ tbsp beeswax
• Measuring cup (microwave-safe)
• Rubbing alcohol (small spray bottle)
• Wood spoon
• Rectangular, triangular or cicular soap molds
• Soap cutter
• Colorant

Directions:

1. Begin by cutting the glycerin bar into 1-inch squares. Cutting the glycerin up into pieces ensures that your glycerin melts evenly and does not dry out.
2. Once the glycerin melts, pour it out into a measuring cup and keep it aside. (You can use the double boil method to melt the glycerin or you can simply microwave it).
3. Make sure that all the glycerin is melted, and no air bubbles show up on the glycerin’s surface. Spray some alcohol on the air bubbles so that they subside.
4. Take the glycerin and set it over a low flame.
5. Using a wooden spoon or a wooden stick, stir the glycerin.
6. Now add the sea salt, table salt, beeswax and the lavender essential oil in stages. Don’t add them all together, add them in stages, stirring them in continuously.
7. The colorant part comes now. If you want your soap to look pretty, add a few colorant drops here.
8. Once you have done so, pour the mixtures into the soap mold and set aside for it to harden.
9. If the soap forms any air bubbles, spray some alcohol on it again.
10. Usually, the soap will take at least 24 hours to harden.
11. Once the soap hardens, use a soap cutter or a long knife to cut the soap into pieces.
12. Wrap the soap up in a plastic cling film to keep the glycerin from drying out.
13. Your soap is ready!

An Important Note:

Once you have used these containers to make the soap, don’t store food or water in them; use them only for making soap, or get rid of them.

Fill your microwave-safe measuring cup with the chunks of glycerin and melt it according to the package directions. You can use a double boiler to melt your glycerin, but it’s much easier in a microwave. Make sure all of the glycerin is melted completely before you add any of the other ingredients.
