Learn how to make body wash using melt & pour soap. This project is so easy to make and only requires only a few ingredients!
RECIPE: 250 grams melt & pour soap base, 500 grams distilled water, 100 grams [SLSa] sodium lauryl sulfoacetate. + 5-7% fragrance oil & .5-2% preservative
Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSa) serves as an emulsifier - giving the soap a smoother consistency & making it more creamy. Plus it creates additional suds, foam, & lather. [use sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, or sodium coco sulfate].
Add ingredients to a heat safe container & heat it to melt/dissolve ingredients. Boil mixture for a while on high heat to ensure ingredients are dissolved and to evaporate some of the water. The mixture will thicken as it cools. You can quicken cooling but you still need to let the soap mixture sit uncovered for 30 hours as it will thicken a lot more during this time. After, you'll have a the thick glob of soap mixture- this is the body wash base. Weigh how much base you want to use, then add 5-7% fragrance oil & .5-2% preservative. [For 500 grams of body wash base I added 35 grams fragrance oil, & 2.5 grams preservative]. Use a blender to emulsify the mixture. Start out with a thick body wash base as the fragrance oil is going to thin it A LOT It should be a good pouring consistency. Add more water to thin it or soap base to thicken it. **If you add additional water to thin the body wash, add more preservative, too.** Body wash should last at least 6 months - 1 year.
UPDATE: Someone pointed out the SLSa amounts are different in video VS here. The recipe in the description is always correct as I copy & paste it directly from my notes in OneNote. But this ingredient (like all of them) can be adjusted depending on what you want. SLSa can get quite expensive so the 100 grams (maybe even less) will be fine. However, if you wanted more suds & lather, add more SLSa.
