Homemade Matcha Soap Recipe For A Dazzling Skin

Looking for a natural way to enhance your skincare routine? This Homemade Matcha Soap Recipe is a simple, effective solution. Matcha tea powder is known for its high antioxidant content, which helps fight acne and reduces skin inflammation. Combined with the moisturizing benefits of glycerine soap, this recipe offers a nourishing cleanse.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to make a matcha soap that not only refreshes your skin but also helps even out your complexion. With just a few ingredients, you’ll create a soap that’s gentle yet effective for everyday use.

Ingredients Needed

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

• Matcha Tea Powder
• White Glycerine Soap: The glycerine soap I use contains shea butter, which is excellent for moisturizing the skin. If you cannot find glycerine soap with shea butter as an ingredient, you can add shea butter yourself to the recipe.
• Fragrance Oil: I will use vanilla fragrance.

Tools Needed

• Scale to weigh quantities
• Medium bowl
• Teaspoon
• Small silicone spatula
• Cling film (wrapping nylon)
• Silicone soap mold with appropriate shapes

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Steps: Homemade Matcha Soap Recipe

1- Start by placing 100 grams (3.52 oz) of glycerine soap in a bowl. If needed, add 10 grams (0.35 oz) of shea butter as mentioned in the “Ingredients Needed” section.

2- Gently heat and melt the glycerine soap using a bain-marie (hot water bath). To set up a bain-marie, place the bowl in a larger pot of hot, steaming water. This method will gradually heat and melt the contents without direct heat. Stir the mixture while it melts, and avoid letting it boil.

3- Add 1/2 teaspoon of matcha tea powder, approximately 2 grams (0.07 oz), and mix thoroughly until the powder and melted glycerine soap are well combined.

4- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

5- Once the mixture has cooled to room temperature, add 1-2 grams (0.035-0.07 oz) of vanilla fragrance oil. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your preference and the potency of the fragrance oil.

6- Mix the ingredients thoroughly.

7- Pour the mixture into the mold cavities.

Note: If bubbles form on the surface of the soap mixture after pouring, spray it lightly with 70% alcohol to eliminate them.

8- The mixture will take about 3-4 hours to solidify in the mold. Once it’s fully set, you can gently and carefully remove it from the mold.

9- Finally, wrap the soap bar in cling film (wrapping nylon) to protect it from condensation on the surface. You can start using the soap the following day.

10- This is our final product, homemade matcha soap.

How to Use Homemade Matcha Soap

a. Prepare your skin: Before using the matcha soap, ensure your skin is damp by wetting it with lukewarm water. This helps open up your pores for a deeper cleanse.

b. Lather the soap: Rub the soap between your hands or use a soft cloth to create a rich lather. Matcha tea powder in the soap will give a natural, green tint to the foam.

c. Apply to your skin: Gently massage the lather onto your face or body in circular motions. Focus on areas that need extra care, like dry or acne-prone zones.

d. Rinse thoroughly: After cleansing, rinse off with lukewarm water to ensure all soap residue is removed.

e. Pat dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing to prevent irritation.

f. Follow up with moisturizer: For the best results, apply a light moisturizer after washing to lock in the soap’s hydrating benefits.

Benefits

Packed with antioxidants: Matcha is known for its high antioxidant content, which helps neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from environmental damage.

Reduces inflammation: The anti-inflammatory properties of matcha help calm redness and irritation, making this soap ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Deeply moisturizing: The glycerine soap, especially with added shea butter, provides long-lasting hydration, helping to prevent dryness and flakiness.

Gentle exfoliation: Matcha powder in the soap provides a light exfoliating effect, helping to remove dead skin cells for a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Soothing scent: Vanilla fragrance oil adds a warm, pleasant aroma to the soap, providing a calming and relaxing experience during each use without being overwhelming.
