Hey everyone it’s that time we talk about a soap that has been widely overlooked in our generation. Hemp seed cold process soap, this beauty has so many wonderful benefits for your skin.
Hemp Seeds essential fatty acids jam-packed in hemp protein act as an internal moisturizer. As a result, hemp protein combats the dry and cracking skin by reducing irritation. The hemp powder changed the color of the soap, the hard part is how much hemp powder before the lye turns the soap brown. This soap came out with a greenish-yellow color and with the added hemp seeds in the soap looks cool. When I used the soap, it was a nice exfoliating feel, was not too hard or soft but right smack dab in the middle. Handcrafted hemp soap is formulated with cold-pressed unrefined organic hemp seed l which is richly packed with vitamins and essential fatty acids making this soap extremely good for the skin. Because hemp seeds have incredible anti-inflammatory properties, this is a great all-natural soap for dry or sensitive skin and it’s very helpful for eczema and other skin conditions.
Oily, dry, or combination, whatever your skin type is, you can use hemp seed soap. That’s because the fatty acid profile of a hemp seed soap mimics that of our skin. It’s also a wonderful anti-aging product, capable of slowing down oxidation caused by free radicals. It’s a gentle cleanser that leaves your skin smooth and moisturized. If you’re suffering from skin woes such as eczema or rosacea, hemp soap’s fatty acid content can help. This is because it provides anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe or calm irritated skin. The acids can also help with breakouts by reducing redness and swelling.
Did you know that it can also be used for shaving? This soap is very moisturizing and has a great foaming and lathering effect that makes it great for shaving, even if you have sensitive skin. Hemp seed soap can be used for everything. You can use it for washing your hands, shampooing your hair, shaving, and washing. The all-natural ingredients are safe for everyone for all sorts of uses. When you wash your hair with our all-natural soap, you get a “squeaky clean” feeling in your hair. That’s because our soap contains no chemicals that leave residue in your hair that can make it feel soft but can be very damaging to your hair. Hemp seed soap provides the needed moisture while washing clean.
Taken internally, the beautifying benefits of hemp seeds can primarily be attributed to their potent anti-inflammatory properties and their high concentration of the “super fat”, GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), that nourishes hair, skin, and nails. The soothing, good anti-inflammatory fats are also incredibly healing and nourishing for your skin when used externally too, especially if you have skin that is easily irritated!

Materials
Tools
Instructions
- Using a scale, place 1 food container down on the scale and add the lye. Then add the distilled water, stir the lye and water then place it outside.
- As the lye water is cooling down, we need to use the other food container and weigh the oils (olive oil, hemp oil, avocado oil, and vegetable shortening). Using either the double boil method or microwave melt the oil.
- Using an infrared heat gun thermometer take temps of the lye water and oil. We want the lye water and oil to be between 90 degrees F and 100 degrees F. Plus we want the lye water and oil to be within 5 degrees of each other. If you add the lye water or oil to each other more than 5 degrees of each other the lye water and oil raise the temperature of each other.
- Using the stick blender tip, add the lye water to the oil. Using the tip of the stick blender prevents bubbles forming in the soap.
- Using the stick blender, blend the soap mixture for about 5 to 8 minutes or until you have a lite trace. (See Note 1 for a description of lite trace)
- Add 1/2 cup of hemp seeds and using the whisk, mix it.
- Place down the loaf soap mold.
- Pour the soap into the mold and using a plastic spatula scrape out the soap.
- Put the soap somewhere where no kids or pets can get to it.
- Let the soap sit for about 6 days to 10 days. The cure time depends on how much lather you would like. The longer the cure time the more lather, the shorter the cure time the less lather.
- Remove the soap from the mold and using the knife or soap knife cut the soap into 1-inch bars.
Notes
Note 1:
Hover the stick blender over the soap. Create a zig-zag on top of the soap and if it slowly falls back into the soap then you have a lite trace.
