Natural soap making is great way to make sure you and you family are not exposed to the harmful chemicals that are often present in store bought soap. Using natural soap goes a long way to reducing your daily exposure to harmful chemicals. When you use natural soap it can help you build up your natural immune system. It is also a great money saver.
Most times you can use ingredients right out of your kitchen to make your batches of natural soap.

There are many ways to make soap but if you want to do truly natural soap making I would recommend using the cold process soap making.
Cold process soap making is a more challenging way to make soap but if you use the easy methods (like melt and pour) you will basically be using store bought soap which is not really natural at all.

The Benefits of using natural soap
1. When you use natural soap on a daily basis your skin will have a much healthier appearance. Your pores will be smaller and your skin will be more supple. You will no longer have skin that feels tight and dry after you use soap.
2. Using natural soap can provide a clearer complexion. If you are an acne sufferer then you should definitely look into using only natural soap. Because the soap does not have any harmful chemicals it is less irritating on your skin. Many acne suffers notice a great improvement simply from using natural soap instead of store bought soap.
Coloring your natural soap
The most common way to color soap is to use food coloring. Unfortunately, if you are using the natural soap making method it is not recommend that you use food coloring. Food coloring is not exactly natural. However if you really want to add coloring to make your natural soap stand out you do have other options.
The first option available to you is to buy natural dye. Natural dye is available at many specialty stores.
The second option you have is to make your own natural dyes. This is not as hard as you might think.
pink – beet powder/beet juice, berries (non-poisonous) like strawberries, cherries, etc
brown – coffee
Green – Leaves or grass. Take some grass and put it in a pot with a little bit of water and let it simmer for an hour or so. Then you can either use the water as a dye or blend the water and grass together to make a pasty dye.
Nature will provide you with basically any color you could wish for. The most important thing is to make sure that you so not use anything that is poisonous or irritating to your skin.
