Green soap to protect the purity

Green soap (potash) is made using potassium alkali. This name was received because it was originally used for its production of olive or hemp oil. This gave it a green color.

This soap has good antimicrobial properties, perfectly cleanses the skin and is even used for washing hair. For example, liquid green soap with coniferous additives is great for washing in a bath. It consists of natural salonins, extracts of nettle, horsetail, wild rosemary and fir oil, pine nuts and pine. When used in a bath, under the influence of high temperature, it gives the effect of aromatherapy. But you can use soap in the shower. You can buy it at any store.

You can also prepare potassium soap yourself at home. To do this, you need to take vegetable oil - linseed, hemp, cotton or plain sunflower (you can take their mixture). It should be poured into a cooking pot, add a little concentrated potassium alkali (30-50% caustic potassium) and heat, stirring constantly. After a while, add more alkali.

Cook the mixture until the mass is clear. After cooling, the soap will be a soft and transparent mass. It should be placed in a jar with a lid, closed and stored in a cool place.

The resulting green soap is the result of the simplest cooking technology. It can be added various essential oils, creams and herbal supplements (to achieve certain properties).

Preparing soap at home is now very popular. This is because people want to use only proven natural products. Most often for these purposes take a soap base. As a result, you can get an excellent detergent of high quality.
