Intimate Soap Bar Recipe

Intimate hygene is an essential part of everyone's daily body care. Mild care products that take care of the sensitive skin flora in the pubic area, ideally balanced to protect the natural protective layer of the skin, should be used.
This recipe is not really a soap, but a very mild syndet bar, with pH adjusted to the feminine intimate area. It has essential oils for scent but they can be skipped if your skin is too sensitive.

Instructions

Preparations and Good Practices

  • Learn how to make a syndet bar in How Do You Make a Syndet Bar? or watch the video above. They don't have a recipe but explain in general the steps and ingredients to produce a syndet bar.
    How Do You Make a Syndet bar
  • Disinfect all your equipment before starting. You can boil some of your equipment (like the double boiler, glass cups, spoons), and use a solution of 1 liter of water with 1/2 cup of bleach, for items that are not heat-resistant (like the milk frother, plastic cups or the lotion containers)

  • Measure all ingredients and prepare your workstation. Wear a mask as the SCI releases an irritant dust cloud

Liquid Phase

  • Put a pan with water into the stove (any water as this is for bagne-marie)

  • Add the oils and water into the double boiler or a metal jug. Let it heat in low heat, up to 50ºC or until a little bit before the solid oils melt completely

Dry Phase

  • Add the SCI and mix well with a spoon. I prefer to use a fork as it works as half spoon, half whisker.

  • Mix and heat the mixture in low heat until it has the consistency of homogeneous mush or porridge

  • Remove the double boiler or jug from heat. Mix a bit to cool down the mixture.

Make Your Bars

  • At around 50ºC or lower, add the essential oils, the preservative and 1 tsp of citric acid dissolved in a bit of water. Mix well.

  • Take 1/4 tsp of the mixture and dilute it in 1 tsp of warm water. Dissolve it well and use a pH strap to measure pH. Should be around 4.

  • If pH is still high add another tsp of citric acid dissolved in water. Mix very well and measure the pH again.

  • Pour the mixture into a soap mold. After unmolding let it dry for 2 or 3 days.
