Cleaning is considered the first and most important step in skin care. However, the chemicals in the commercial soap body washes used on a daily basis strip away the skin's natural oils, causing the skin to feel dry and stretched. Especially, people whose skin is very sensitive are more troubled by the problems of skin infection, allergy and itching.

In such a situation, instead of chemical beauty products, homemade moisturizing soap made from natural ingredients can prove to be the best option. Made from aloe vera and lemon balm easily available at home, this organic soap not only keeps the skin soft but also protects against fungal infections.

• Ingredients needed to make soap

Soap Base: 250 grams (Glycerin Goat Milk Soap Base)
Fresh Aloe Vera Gel: half cup
bitter lime leaves: a fist
Glycerine: 2 teaspoons
Vitamin E Capsules: 3 to 4 pieces
Almond, olive or coconut oil: 1 teaspoon
Tea Tree Essential Oil: 4 to 5 Timpa
Soap Mould: Silicone mold or any plastic container to shape the soap

• method of preparation

First of all, separate the fresh gel from the aloe vera leaf, grind it in a mixer and filter it. After that, wash the Limda leaf properly and add some water in the mixer and make a smooth paste. Cut the soap base into small pieces (cubes) with a knife. Now boil water in a vessel, place another vessel over it (double boiler method) and boil the soap base on low heat. Once the soap base becomes completely liquid, turn off the gas. Now add prepared aloe vera gel, lime paste, glycerine, vitamin E capsule oil, almond or coconut oil and tea tree essential oil and mix it properly with a spoon. Pour the prepared liquid mixture immediately into a soap silicone mold. Let it set at normal room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. Once the soap becomes completely hard, take it out of the mold. Your homemade natural soap is ready to use.
