Banana Soap Recipe (With Heavy Cream) - Cold Process (2024)

FAQs

How do you make soap with heavy cream? ›

I would recommend using heavy cream at a rate of about 3-5%. You really don't need to use a lot. When I use cream in my soap, I remove the same amount of water from the recipe. For example, in my batch with 50 grams of cream, I remove 50 grams of distilled water from the recipe.

The addition of Buttermilk Powder makes it very creamy and moisturizing.

Milk, like goat's milk, buttermilk, and coconut milk can be used to add creaminess and lather. In fact just about any milk product can be used. Even breast milk.

Recently, we tried our hand at making cold process soap with the addition of heavy whipping cream. For our recipe, we selected the cream to be 25% of our water ratio since we did not want to majorly superfat our soap. The frozen heavy whipping cream was added to our soaping oils/butter before the lye solution.

Making soap with heavy whipping cream can make the soap rich, creamy, and moisturizing so follow the right preparation steps to make the best possible.

Modern-day soapmakers often add small amounts of salt to soap to make the soap harden faster for quicker unmoulding. Formulas for so called 'salt bars' call for large quantities of salt; anything from 50% to 100% of the weight of oils is common.

Different oils give different amounts and different types of lathers, so many soap makers turn to sugar to increase the suds. Adding a bit of sugar to a soap recipe can help make a light, bubbly lather with large bubbles when the oils you're using do not lather up as much as you'd like.

Glycerin is known to benefit the skin because of its moisturizing properties. Being an effective humectant, glycerin absorbs water from the air and thus attracts moisture to your skin, preventing excessive drying and evaporation. As a result, the skin is clean, refreshed, and moisturized.

Coconut Oil - This is the number one soap making ingredient for creating lather with big, luxurious bubbles.

Oils such as coconut and castor oil help create a bubbly, foamy, rich lather. On the other hand, soaps made primarily with olive oil, such as Castile-type soaps, will produce a rich and creamy rather than bubbly lather. The naturally retained glycerin in handmade soap also helps create a lovely lather.

Why is my cold process soap not lathering? ›

Using low-quality oils or lye can affect the soap's ability to lather properly. Secondly, the soap-making process could be a factor. If the soap was not mixed thoroughly or was not allowed enough time to cure, it may not lather properly. Additionally, hard water can affect soap lathering.

Bananas are rich in natural sugars, which help boost the soap bars' foam and lather. Bananas are also natural ingredients that add texture and color to soap. I use a very soft, very ripe banana with a high concentration of sugars in my banana soaps.

Banana contains three natural sugars, sucrose, fructose, glucose together with fibre. The mixed fresh banana, added to the soap together with cream and olive oil at the end of the saponifying process, allows our skin to profit from its nutritiousness and curative caress.

Banana soap has potential benefits such as disinfection, oil removal, and suitability for all ages. It is prepared using banana puree, boric acid, calamine, pearl essence, menthol crystal, and lemon grass extract. The soap has a good disinfection effect and is non-irritant with no side effects.

By diluting heavy cream with water, you can reduce the fat content and create a milk-like consistency. Ratio: To create a milk substitute from heavy cream, you can use a ratio of 1 part heavy cream to 9 parts water [1].

In its broadest sense, soap is the result of a chemical reaction that occurs when fat is mixed with the alkali in sodium hydroxide (lye) in a process called saponification.
