Dehydrated fruits have many uses and due to the great benefits that these fruits have, many people have started to consume more. This time we want to share with you how to make some homemade soap and their benefits using dried fruits.

Making handmade soap allows you to create the products you need, using the best ingredients and thus get more benefits when taking a bath or washing your hands. In addition, creating your soap originals is very economical so you can save money and at the same time enjoy unique products.

We will start with coconut soap and almond milk that is very beneficial to keep the skin hydrated and avoids the appearance of stretch marks since the skin remains moisturized. One of the benefits of coconut is that it has antibacterial properties and serves to nourish the skin and hair, and almonds are very beneficial to delay the aging of the skin and keep it hydrated for longer. Home remedies can be very useful if we seek to create products that specifically benefit us in some issue that we suffer or if we want to know the ingredients of the products or create products that are more environmentally friendly and avoid contamination.

To make coconut soap we will need 0.27 pounds of caustic soda, 0.72 pounds of almond milk, 21.9 ounces of olive oil, 0.78 ounces of coconut oil, 1 ½ teaspoon of ground coconut dried, 7.9 ounces of castor oil, utensils of glass, plastic or heat-resistant wood and a mold for your soap and aluminum foil.

To make this soap the first thing we should do is place the almond milk in a glass container and put it in the freezer for two hours. Afterwards, we must use gloves and glasses to avoid burns with caustic soda and make the soap in a very well ventilated room.

After two hours we remove the almond milk and with gloves and glasses on, we add the caustic soda little by little and mix it with a wooden spoon, when the ingredients are well mixed let it rest.

While we put the oils in a bowl and the powder of dried coconut (to do it, you only have to grind the dried coconut in the blender until it is a uniform powder) and stir. When it is well mixed, add it slowly to the almond milk mixture and stir with the wooden spoon. After five minutes we will see that the mixture has thickened (if you prefer you can also use a blender). When the mixture is already thicker, we add the mixture carefully in the molds and they should be covered with aluminum foil and left in the refrigerator for a day.

Then, we will take it out of the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature for another 24 hours. When the day has passed, we can unmold and cut the soap; and then we need to place the soaps in a rack for a month and a flip the soap every third day.

Another soap that is unique and very nice is one made of organic dried mango soap. For this soap, we will need the same materials as in the previous one: gloves, lenses, spatula and molds. The ingredients we will need to create this handmade soap are: organic dried mango, 1.014 pounds of coconut oil, 0.45 pounds of sunflower oil, 0.78 olive oil, orange essential oil, mango extract, and water.

The first thing to do is grind the organic dried mango with water until it is uniform and freeze in a glass refractory, it is recommended to let it stand for a day. The next day, cut the ice in the form of small squares and add the caustic soda and stir constantly with a wooden spoon and heat a little until it is 122 F.

Then the oils should be mixed in another bowl and then added to the mango mixture, and mixed constantly with a blender, and when it has a thick consistency add the essential oil of orange or the oil you choose and all the other ingredients. The mold should be covered and left to rest for 24 hours, the next day (as in the previous soap) it should be demold and cut, then you should let the soaps rest for a month and they will be ready to use it.
