Ulog 150:Turmeric Soap For Skin Conditions
I chose to use a honey M&P soap base for this recipe.
Why?
Honey is naturally antibacterial, so it's great for acne treatment and prevention.
Aging: Full of antioxidants, it is great for slowing down aging.
Complexion boost: It is extremely moisturizing and soothing, so it helps create a glow.
Even if I hadn't used this particular honey soap base, I would have added organic honey to the recipe.
Turmeric Skin Benefits
Not only is turmeric a great anti-inflammatory, but it's also good for acne as a natural anti-bacterial and antiseptic. It contains curcumin, a bioactive component, which gives turmeric its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Nasturtium Flowers Skin Benefits
They are great as an ll-natural disinfectant cleansing; so adding these dried petals to the soap was a no-brainer.
They also have anti-fungal properties which is an added benefit for skin' especially skin prone to irritations and acne break-outs.
Recipe
- One-pound of Honey M&P soap base
- 2-tablespoons rubbing alcohol
- 5 capsules of Turmeric powder
- Nasturtium dried flower petals
- 1- teaspoon Tea Tree Oil
- Essential oils- Citrus/Orange and Lemon Grass- 10-15 drops of each
Melt M&P soap according to manufacturer's directions. Empty the turmeric capsules into small bowl and mix with the rubbing alcohol (this helps the turmeric powder from clumping). Once the soap has melted add the turmeric, Tea Tree oil, nasturtium flower petals and essential oils. Mix together then pour into prepared silicone mold.
To prepare mold, spray with rubbing alcohol.
Let set for a minimum of 24-hours. Although I usually let this recipe sit for at least 72-hours before cutting to cure. For some reason the added alcohol or the honey based soap needs a little more time to set up. I also allow the soap to cure for a few days before using.

Very nice. I'm not sure if this would work well on psoriasis or not, but I am not afraid to try and find out. We will have to make a batch and see. Thanks for sharing and so glad it has helped your husband!
Oh it would!
Honey has anti-bacterial properties.
Just be careful when using on face. Turmeric can lead to a yellowish tone on skin. It wears off but still...
How inventive you are! Is there a commercial version of this type of soap already? If not, you may have a product you could produce and sell, and you may be successful even if there already is a commercial version!
The soap looks so amazing. And the process is also very easy, I guess. Turmeric is a natural healer. Nice to see we can add it in our soap.
Soap looks good enough to eat. 😊 Glad this soap helped your hubby.
