How to Make Liquid African Black Soap
Below are the steps to make liquid African black soap:
- Start with raw African black soap. Make sure it is authentic and sourced from Africa.
- Grate the raw African black soap into small pieces using a cheese grater or knife. You can also break it into small chunks.
- Transfer the grated soap into a large bowl or container.
- Boil distilled or purified water and pour it over the grated soap. The amount of water will depend on how thick or thin you want your liquid soap to be. Start with equal parts soap and water and adjust as needed.
- Stir the mixture well to combine the soap and water. You can use a whisk or spoon for this step.
- Let the mixture sit overnight or for at least 8 hours. This will allow the soap to dissolve and infuse into the water.
- After the resting period, stir the mixture again to ensure it is well combined.
- You can add additional ingredients at this stage, such as essential oils for fragrance or honey for added moisture. Stir well to incorporate these ingredients.
- You can now transfer the liquid African black soap into a pump bottle or container for easy use.
- Your homemade liquid African black soap is now ready to use!
