Exfoliating Himalayan Pink Salt Soap Bars
Looking for a natural way to exfoliate your skin? Himalayan pink salt soap bars are the perfect solution! These soap bars are easy to make and use simple ingredients.
Yield: 4 1 Inch Soap Bars
Equipment
- 4 4 inch silicone soap mold https://amzn.to/3JHQ21D
- 1 microwave safe spouted measuring cup https://amzn.to/3PeeSYj
- 1 Spoon or wooden craft stick for stirring https://amzn.to/3Qc4OjD
- 1 Knife or soap cutter to cut the soap https://amzn.to/3vSGHys
Materials
- 1 1/4 lb melt and pour soap base
- 2 TBSP fine Himalayan pink salt
- 1 TBSP coarsely ground Himalayan pink salt (ground from grinder)
Instructions
- Grind 1 tbsp of salt from the grinder. This will go on top of your soap
- Cut the soap base into 1-inch cubes and add them to the measuring cup.
- Heat in the microwave on high for 30 seconds, remove, and stir well. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each heating session, until the soap base is completely melted.
- Remove from the microwave, and allow to stand for 2 minutes.
- Add the fine salt, and stir well. Continue stirring until the mixture starts to cool off and thicken a little bit. You will be pouring this into the mold at a cooled-off temperature, rather than hot, to allow the salt to stay mixed in the soap, rather than sink to the bottom. This is what gives the colorful exfoliating chunks that you see within the soap bars. After pouring, your soap should be rocky or chunky at the top, rather than flat in the mold.
- Immediately sprinkle the ground salt all over the top of the soap
- Allow the soap to set for about 3 hours, remove it from the mold, then cut them into 1-inch bars.
Notes
You can store this homemade soap for 6 months and up to one year. Store in an airtight container until ready to use!
