Vegan Handmade Soap Recipe
Veganism is not simply a diet. It’s much more than that, it’s a lifestyle. Vegans not only abstain from eating meat and other animal by-products such as eggs and diary, but they also avoid using animal-derived goods such as leather, wool, silk and any cosmetics containing animal fat.
Most soap recipes use animal fat (lard or tallow). If it’s hard to find pure vegetable soap where you live, you can try and make your own.
For those wanting to learn how to make vegan, cruelty-free vegetable-based soap, this is the way to go. This recipe is SO easy even a monkey could do it and is the one I started with.
How To Make Vegan Soap
16 oz. coconut oil
16 oz. palm oil
13.5 oz. olive oil
16 oz. distilled water
6.5 oz. sodium hydroxide (lye)
Mix lye solution into oils when both are at around 95-100 degrees F.
At trace, add your desired EO, FO or just leave it unscented.
Pour into mold(s). Leave 18-24 hours. Unmold and allow to cure for 3-4 weeks.
