Kunyit Brightening Soap Using The Cold Process Soap Method (turmeric soap)

Hi all!

Still continuing our Mini DIY Class Series for natural brightening soaps. Today’s one a bit special haha—we made this Kunyit Herbal Soap but it turned into a little disaster.

We used fresh kunyit (turmeric) juice to make this soap super natural and brightening, but because it was a long holiday weekend, we unmoulded the soap too early. 

It was still lembik! Kalau kita tunggu another one more day, confirm the soap will be perfect. 

So today you’ll see the reality of soap-making also—not every batch turns out cantik kalau tak sabar!

Still, the soap itself is full of good ingredients and super nice for the skin.


Here’s the recipe:

  • 300g Coconut Oil

  • 300g Olive Oil

  • 300g Palm Oil

  • 100g Castor Oil

  • 144g Sodium Hydroxide

  • 288g Water

  • 50g Fresh Turmeric (Kunyit) Juice

  • 10g Titanium Dioxide Mica

  • 10g Peacock Blue Mica

  • 50g Angelica Fragrance Oil (Phthalate-Free)

  • Rubbing Alcohol – to spray

  • Silicone Mould – 1kg


Why I Used What I Used:

  • Fresh Turmeric Juice – Traditional Asian ingredient for brightening and calming the skin.

  • Angelica Fragrance Oil – Herbal soft scent that matches the kunyit natural vibe.

  • Titanium Dioxide & Peacock Blue Mica – Fun vibrant colours to make the soap pop nicely.

  • Oil Mix Base (Coconut, Olive, Palm & Castor) – For a bubbly yet moisturising soap.

  • Rubbing Alcohol – To remove bubbles and smooth out the top (kalau keras properly haha).
