Just found there were dried lemongrass / citronella at home, it is time for me to use it to make soap. Lemongrass water can help repelling mosquito. When we have mosquito bites, we may use lemongrass water to wash our body to relieve itchiness and redness. This time I want to make one which can reinforce keeping water, so I use hazelnut oil. To combine it with sweet almond oil and olive oil give plenty of moisture to skin and wash gently.
When I mixed sodium hydroxide with lemongrass water, there was strong bad smell coming out. When the saponified process of mixture was almost done, the smell reduced. The soap has pretty creamy bubbles that feel like having rich essence in it. Feel silky and nourished after using it on face.
Ingredients: Coconut oil, palm oil, pure olive oil, sweet almond oil, hazelnut oil, jojoba oil, lemongrass water.
Super fatting: Wheat germ oil.
Essential oils: Geranium oil, tea tree oil.
家裏剛好有一些乾的香茅，正好是時候用來做皂。香茅水有助驅除蚊子，當我們被蚊子叮咬後，我們可以用香茅水清洗身體去減輕痕癢和紅腫。今次我想做一款可加強保水的，所以我使用棒果油，再加上甜杏仁油和橄欖油能提供足夠的滋潤給肌膚和温和地清潔。
當我將氫氧化鈉和香茅水混合的時候，有一陣強烈的怪味，但當皂化過程差不多完成時氣味就減退了。這款肥皂的泡沫很綿感覺像有很豐富的精華在裏面，用在臉上感到很幼滑和潤澤。
