Using an organic natural baby soap on your child is not only safe for them but also for the environment as well. Such products contain no kinds of artificial ingredients, which are likely to cause irritation to their sensitive skin.

As you will soon discover there are numerous different types of natural organic baby soaps that one can select from today. However, you may find that there are some that are better suited to your child than others. But along with these kinds of soaps being safe for use on young babies and children, these can also be ideal for other members of your family as well.

The one problem with actually buying organic natural soaps for babies that have been made commercially is that they can prove to be very expensive. If you would like to ensure that, you are only using the best products and save money then why not think about making your own soap instead. In order to make your own you will need 2 saucepans, some gloves and goggles as well as the ingredients to make the soap with. Below are the steps that one will need to take in order to make your own soap using only natural organic ingredients.

Step 1 - First, you will need to measure out all the ingredients in order to make your soap. For this particular soap recipe, you will need 15oz of olive oil, 5oz of palm oil and 5oz of coconut oil all of which should have been organically grown. As well as the oils, you will need 8oz of distilled water and 3.5 oz of lye.

Step 2 - Next, you need to prepare the lye you do this by adding it to the water and once it comes into contact with a chemical reaction occurs. As the lye comes into contact with the water it actually makes it heat up and it is best if you carry out this step outside because the mixture also lets off fumes. Once the lye has been thoroughly mixed with the water, you need to let it stand in order for it to cool down. It is best to let it reach room temperature before you start the next step of the soap making process.

Step 3 - Once the lye mixture has reached room temperature you can now very slowly begin to add the other ingredients (oils) that are mentioned above to it. First of all these need to be heated before they actually get added to the lye mixture and it is a good idea to have a thermometer that you can use to ensure that they have reached the right temperature.

Step 4 - Once the oils have reached the correct temperature, the pan needs to be removed from the heat and placed on a surface so that you can then begin to add the prepared lye mixture. Initially when mixing the oils and lye together it is best to use a wooden spoon, but once all have been combined then you use a stick blender instead. Using a stick blender will actually get the mixture to the right consistency for pouring into moulds quicker. If you choose to stir the mixture by hand, it can take as long as an hour before you see the mixture thicken and become opaque.

Step 5 - As soon as the mixture has reached the right consistency then you can pour it into moulds. Once in the moulds you should allow the soap to stand for around 24 hours in a cool place so that it can set properly. After this time, the organic natural baby soap that you have made will be ready for you to use.
