3. Preserve the Soap Color
To ensure that your handmade soap maintains its color, you should use vitamin E oil, dry
herbs, and sunflower oil. These ingredients are meant to slow down the process by which
handmade soaps lose their color. In addition, the ingredients are safe for the skin. Sunflower
oil, for instance, has the advantage of adding a fragrance on your handmade soap. Normally, a
change of color is a sign that the soap is losing its effectiveness and this should be addressed
during the manufacturing.
4. Learn to Smell your Soap
It’s important that your handmade soap smells great when using it. If you are not careful, you
may be using a soap that has lost its fragrance and effectiveness without knowing. Other than a
change in color, an unusual smell from your handmade soap means that it’s time to replace it.
This may not be the case if you use long-lasting fragrance oils when making the soap. Before
you smell the soap, you should first sniff coffee. The coffee will help to clear your nose so that
you can smell the ideal scent of your soap.
