Matcha is an excellent ingredient to include in handmade natural skincare products. It is rich in antioxidants which help reduce acne. It reduces inflammation and evens skin tone. It helps to calm skin irritations.
In this article, we will detail a homemade matcha soap recipe.
Ingredients
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.
- White glycerin soap. The glycerin soap I use has shea butter in it, which is good for moisturizing the skin. If you cannot find such glycerin soap that has shea butter as one of its ingredients, you can add shea butter yourself to the product we are making
- Essential oil. We will use vanilla fragrance
- Matcha tea powder
Measurements
- 100 grams of white glycerin soap (3.52 oz). As explained above, if you need to, add 10g (0.35 oz) of shea butter
- Half a teaspoon of matcha powder
- 1-2 grams of vanilla essential oil (0.035-0.07 oz)
Steps: Homemade Matcha Soap Recipe
1- Place 100g of glycerin soap in a bowl (if shea butter is needed, add it now as well).
2- Slowly melt the glycerine soap in a bain-marie, which is a hot water bath. A hot water bath is done by placing a small pot in a larger pot of hot steaming water. This will gradually melt whatever is inside the small pot without causing it to burn. As it melts, make sure to mix every now and then.
3- Add half a teaspoon of matcha powder, about 2g, and mix well.
4- Cool the mixture until it is at room temperature.
5- After it’s at room temperature, add 1-2 grams of vanilla essential oil. Adjust the amount based on your preference and the potency of the essential oil.
6- Mix thoroughly.
7- Make sure the mold is clean and disinfected with pharmaceutical alcohol 70%. Pour the mix into the mold.
Note: If you notice bubbles forming on the surface of the mix after having poured it, just spray it a little with the alcohol and it will eliminate them.
8- The mix in the mold takes approximately 3-4 hours to solidify. You can then remove it slowly and carefully from the mold.
9- Finally, wrap the soap bar with a cling film (wrapping Nylon) to protect the soap from forming condensation on its surface. You can start using the soap the next day.
10- This is our final product, homemade matcha soap.
