How to make vegan whipped soap
What is whipped soap?
Whipped soap is a fluffy and creamy soap that can be used as a body wash, shaving cream, or moisturiser. It is usually made with a base of foaming bath butter, which is a ready-made product that can be whipped with a hand mixer or a stand mixer. Foaming bath butter contains glycerin, which is a humectant that attracts moisture to the skin, and sodium cocoyl isethionate, which is a mild surfactant that creates a rich lather. However, some foaming bath butters may also contain animal-derived ingredients such as stearic acid or milk protein, which are not suitable for vegans.
If you want to make vegan whipped soap, you need to find a foaming bath butter that is free of animal products. You can check the ingredients list on the product label or contact the supplier to confirm. Alternatively, you can make your own foaming bath butter from scratch using plant-based ingredients such as coconut oil, cocoa butter, and sodium cocoyl isethionate powder. You can find recipes and tutorials online for how to make vegan foaming bath butter.
Once you have your vegan foaming bath butter, you can whip it with a mixer until it becomes light and airy. You can also add other ingredients to customise your whipped soap, such as fragrance oils, essential oils, colorants, exfoliants, or botanicals. For example, you can add lavender essential oil and dried lavender buds for a relaxing whipped soap, or lemon essential oil and poppy seeds for a refreshing and scrubby whipped soap. The possibilities are endless!
How to use
To use your vegan whipped soap, simply scoop out a small amount and massage it onto your wet skin. You will notice that it creates a soft and creamy foam that cleanses and moisturises your skin. Rinse off with warm water and enjoy your silky smooth skin!
Vegan whipped soap is a fun and easy DIY project that you can make at home with simple ingredients. It is also a great way to reduce your plastic waste and avoid harsh chemicals that may be found in commercial soaps. Plus, you can create your own unique scents and textures that suit your preferences and needs. Why not give it a try and see for yourself how amazing vegan whipped soap is?
