About the DIY Herbal Soap

This DIY Herbal Soap is reputed and beloved in the Arab Maghreb, the region in Northwest Africa that includes countries such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Mauritania.

In Arabic, it is called Saharan Tabrima. It normally includes more than the 12 herbs and flowers that we have added to the Moroccan black soap in this article.

Spoon Measurement Terms

In some of our articles, and for non-liquid ingredients, we use the measurements ‘One Spoon,’ ‘Rounded Spoon,’ and ‘Heaped Spoon’, to measure the quantity of ingredients, rather than precise measurements in grams or ounces. This is because adding a little more or less of the ingredient does not affect the final product. Both tablespoons and teaspoons follow these guidelines. Here’s a brief explanation of these terms:

• One Spoon: Fill the ingredient in a measuring spoon, leveling it with a straight edge.
• Rounded Spoon: More than a level measurement, with the ingredient piled above the spoon’s edge in a rounded shape.
• Heaped Spoon: The non-liquid ingredient is scooped as high as possible on a spoon.

The DIY Herbal Soap consists of a powder and Moroccan black soap.

Let’s prepare the powder.

1- Start by putting 1 heaped tablespoon of dried chamomile in a large bowl.

2- Add 1 heaped tablespoon of dried rosemary.

3- Add 1 heaped tablespoon of dried licorice.

4- Add 1 heaped tablespoon of dried lavender.

5- Add a small quantity of dried sea weed.

6- Add 1 heaped tablespoon of dried beetroot.

7- Add 2 sticks of dried turmeric.

8- Add a few dried rosebuds, or 1 heaped tablespoon of dried rose petal powder.

9- Add 1 heaped tablespoon of dried orange peel.

10- Add 1 heaped tablespoon of dried basil.

11- Add 1 heaped tablespoon of dried hibiscus.

12- Place the contents of the bowl in an electric coffee, spice or herb grinder, which grinds them into a powder.

13- Transfer the combined powder to a bowl.

14- Add 1/4 tablespoon of blue nila. The blue nila is added after grinding the other ingredients, because the nila is already a fine powder and doesn’t require grinding.

15- Mix thoroughly all the ingredients using a tablespoon, and ensure that they are combined uniformly.

16- The powder part of the DIY Herbal Soap is now done. Store the whole quantity of the combined powder in a container, and the Moroccan black soap separately in another container. When you are ready to use the DIY Herbal Soap, the powder is to be mixed with Moroccan black soap:

• Thoroughly mix 2 tablespoons of the powder with 1 tablespoon of Moroccan black soap in a small bowl.
