How To Make Coconut Milk Soap For Inflamed Skin (Natural Anti-bacteria)

Coconuts are extremely known for providing us with endless benefits to our health. Our recipe today is the Nourishing Coconut Milk Soap Bar. 

To make the soap combine an oil mix with lye flakes, distilled water and Milklab’s coconut milk (or any coconut milk you can get from the grocery store). The oil mix is a combination of coconut, castor, olive and palm oils. Each of the oils are amazing for the wellbeing of the skin. For instance, coconut oils is a great cleanser and has antibacterial properties. Its antibacterial properties help reduce the inflammation of the skin. 

Coconut milk helps treat dry skin and remove harmful bacteria. This helps to clear wounds and even the skin tone. Coconut milk is also nourishing for the skin, giving it a nice glow.

Finally, add creamy coconut fragrance oil, for a heavenly smell, which will help transport you to a tropical island.

5. Separately, pour your Oil Mix into a heat resistant mixing container. Combine room temperature Lye Water  with the oil mix.
   
   
   
6. Next, use a whisk and mix until it reaches thin trace. Timing of this may vary as the faster you mix, the faster solution will saponify and reaches thin trace.
