How?

The objective of this business idea is to develop a company that produces and markets soaps whose treatment does not contain chemicals.

For the production of this product, experts recommend using cold manufacturing that takes advantage of the oil that is discarded after frying.

This technique requires starting with a careful dissolution of the caustic soda in the water. Once cooled, you must add the oil, stirring it constantly and in the same direction to avoid cutting the soap. Heat the mixture to boiling temperature and keep it for two hours to saponify and achieve the base state for a bar of soap.

This ecological alternative offers different types of soaps such as revitalizing, softening or purifying, qualities that depend on the raw material used in their manufacture.

For its preparation, these are the main plants you can use:

Oatmeal: ideal for cleansing and softening the skin all over the body.
Rosemary: excellent tonic for the skin.
Green tea and / or Ginkgo biloba: they serve to prevent skin aging.
Avocado, Jojoba and Shea: used to nourish and firm.
Tepezcohuite: acts as a restorative and regenerative against stretch marks and has an anti-wrinkle action.
Gotu kola: promotes healing.
Thyme : acts against acne thanks to its antiseptic action.
Chamomile: ideal for sensitive and dry skin due to its decongestant and softening properties.
