Make Your Own Aloe Vera Soap Right at Home

Have you ever stopped to consider what's lurking in your everyday bar soap? Many commercially available soaps are loaded with harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and detergents. While they may create a temporary lather, these ingredients can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it feeling dry, irritated, and vulnerable.
The good news? You don't have to settle for these harsh realities! There's a simpler, more natural way to cleanse your skin and achieve long-lasting benefits. Enter the power of Aloe Vera Soap.

Aloe Vera: Nature's Skin Soother


Aloe vera is a succulent plant renowned for its incredible healing and moisturizing properties. Its gel is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a natural powerhouse for healthy skin.


Here's why aloe vera soap deserves a spot in your bathroom:

  • Hydrates and Soothes: Aloe vera's gel content helps replenish moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. It can also soothe irritation and inflammation, making it ideal for acne-prone or sensitive skin.
  • Antioxidant Power: Aloe vera is rich in antioxidants that help fight free radical damage, contributing to a youthful appearance and reducing signs of aging.
  • Promotes Healing: Aloe vera has natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for promoting wound healing and reducing the appearance of scars.

Crafting Your Own Aloe Vera Soap with Soulflower

At Soulflower, we're passionate about harnessing the power of nature to create effective and gentle skincare solutions. We believe in transparency and empower you to take control of your well-being. That's why we're sharing this simple yet effective recipe for making your own aloe vera soap:

This recipe, shared by our founder, allows you to create a soap that's not only effective but also tailored to your preferences. Here's what you'll need:

  1. 5 Aloe Vera Leaves (240 gm)
  2. 1 tsp Essential Oil (optional)
  3. Food-grade Color (optional)
  4. Coconut Oil (600 gm)
  5. Castor Oil (200 gm)
  6. Olive Oil & Cocoa Butter (50 gm each)
  7. Lye (150 gm) mixed with 100 gm Water
  8. Tulsi Herb (1 tsp)

Step-by-Step Guide:

  • Harvest & Prepare the Aloe:
Take fresh aloe vera leaves from the pot or garden and let them sit in water for 10-15 minutes to remove the yellow latex. Extract the gel and compost the remaining green part (it's a great natural fertilizer!).
    • Blend the Gel: 

    Blend the aloe vera gel until you have a smooth, homogenous mixture. Carefully combine your chosen oils with the aloe vera gel. Then, with proper safety precautions, mix in the lye solution.

    • Customizations & Mixing:

    Now's your chance to personalize your soap! Add dried Tulsi herb for a touch of fragrance and essential oils for an extra boost of aroma-therapeutic benefits. Mix everything thoroughly until well incorporated.

    • Mold & Cure:

    Pour the mixture into a soap mold and allow it to become solid. Then, cut it into square, circle or any shape of your choice.
