Making your own cinnamon soap at home is not such a labor-intensive task. But you will know exactly what your soap is made of and what additional components are included in it.

And besides this, soap made with your own hands at home can serve as an excellent gift that can be prepared for absolutely any holiday. A handmade soap gift with health in mind is always better than one bought in a store.

Soap Ingredients:

  • white with transparent soap base (English production);
  • cinnamon, ground dry;
  • Avocado cosmetic oil;
  • aromatic cosmetic fragrance "Coffee with cinnamon";
  • brown pigment (dye) for soap;
  • mold with decorative recesses for soap;
  • sticks (wood or glass) for mixing;
  • pipette for filling small parts in soap.

The first stage of making cinnamon soap with your own hands: pouring the first layer - cinnamon sticks. You need to melt 25 grams of transparent soap base.

Add one drop of brown dye to it. Using a mixing stick, stir until the coloring is dispersed throughout the soap base.

And using a pipette, pour in the cinnamon sticks. We do this quickly and carefully, because... soap base in small quantities hardens quickly.

To prevent bubbles from forming on the surface, it must be sprayed with pure alcohol immediately after pouring. This way there will be no bubbles, and the adhesion between the layers will be stronger. And wait until the layer hardens well.

The next stage is the second: filling in the intermediate white layer. We drown 30 grams of white base. Add a couple of drops of cosmetic coffee-cinnamon fragrance to it.

And pour the base on top of the already well-frozen previous layer. Before doing this, spray the surface with alcohol again.

After pouring, do not forget to spray with alcohol. And leave it to harden.

The third stage is final: pouring the third useful layer. To do this, you need to melt 50 grams of white soap base, add 5-8 drops of the “Coffee with Cinnamon” fragrance, a small spoon of ground cinnamon, and half a small spoon of avocado oil.

Using a stick for mixing the ingredients, stir everything thoroughly so that there are no lumps.

And pour it on top of the previous well-frozen layer sprinkled with alcohol.

And sprinkle with alcohol.

Once the soap has completely hardened, you can remove it from the mold and use it.

This DIY cinnamon soap will have a warming and toning effect on the skin, and will moisturize well and give the skin elasticity.

I really liked the recipe for soap with milk and cinnamon. The finished soap is fragrant and very soft.

We will need:

  • 2 pieces of baby soap;
  • 1 – 2 tablespoons of glycerin;
  • 1 tablespoon liquid vitamin E;
  • 1 tablespoon almond oil;
  • 4 teaspoons of cinnamon (or so, I added about 3 tablespoons to the soap itself for the “eye” and left 1 spoon for decoration);
  • 150 ml. hot water and a little warm milk (2 - 3 tablespoons).

Grate the soap pieces on a coarse grater.

Pour the soap shavings into a saucepan and place it in a water bath. Gradually the soap begins to “melt” and we add water and milk to it.

Take a blender and beat the mass. So, we don’t have to stand at the stove for a long time - the blender significantly speeds up the process. Why do I add a little milk to the water? So that the soap shavings are not like a “paste” that even a blender cannot beat into a homogeneous mass. If there is no milk, you can add a teaspoon of honey, this will also help “soften” the mass.

So, beat the soap mass with a blender, gradually adding a small amount of water. The consistency of our mass should resemble thick sour cream. If you add too much water, the finished soap will turn out to be very soft, and it will simply be impossible to use.

Remove the saucepan from the water bath and add oil, glycerin, vitamin E and cinnamon to the mixture. Cinnamon will immediately color our soap light brown.

Pour our soap into molds, sprinkle cinnamon powder on top and place in a cool place for a couple of days (so that the soap dries).

You can use children's dishes, jars of yoghurt, cheese and desserts as molds.

Before pouring the soap into the molds, they need to be greased with some kind of oil (for example, olive or sunflower) so that we can easily get our soap out of the molds.
