It is quite ironic to think that in times when technology is just under your nose, people want to go back to basics. I guess we have become numb on the overall effects of technological advancement that when it comes to our personal lives, we prefer to go back to basics. We all know that technology has its own share of disadvantages and perhaps this is the reason we want to go natural. This is the reason why organic products are becoming more popular than ever.
How to make organic soap is one of the offshoots of the advent of going back to basics. People have become dissatisfied with the effects of commercially prepared soap. Some of its known ingredients are harmful chemicals that greatly affect the skin condition of those who use it. In fact, some have developed serious skin irritations; thus, switched to all natural personal care products. This is the reason why making soap that is truly organic can be a lucrative endeavor.
But before you start counting the chickens before it even hatches, you have to get familiar with making soap that is truly organic. First is to get familiar with the difference between just a natural soap versus organic soap. In natural soap, the ingredients are not necessarily all organic. It can be a mix of organic ingredients and those that are simply all natural; like for instance fruits and vegetable ingredients that are not organically grown.
But when it comes to how to make organic soap, all ingredients, both base and additives have to be certified organic. Essential oils such as lavender and eucalyptus, carrier oils such as Shea butter and cocoa butter has to be organically grown. Otherwise, you are no longer true to the claim of organic soap.
Based on my experience, the best method to use in how to make organic soap is the melt and pour, because you don't have to use lye; a chemical ingredient necessary to bind the fats and oil in making soap using cold process. This is for the simple reason that I am not quite sure there is such a thing as organic lye.
Once you get familiar with the basics of how to make organic soap, the next step is to experiment on various variants that give different kinds of benefits. Let's say for instance, moisturizing organic soap or those that are specifically made for oily skin. By knowing various ways of making benefit-oriented recipes, you can be assured of a lucrative organic soap business.
The internet is one very useful source of all these information. All you have to do is learn how to search for the right words and you will definitely get all the information you need on how to make organic soap and convert it to a lucrative home based business.
