Take a pan put 200 ml of coconut oil and heat in low flame.

When it is hot add curry leaves & henna leaves.  Stir the leaves till the leaves get roasted ( Don’t over roast, leaves should not turn brown).

Home Made Organic Soap - Neem & Aloe Vera

This is the second soap. Main ingredient I used is Neem leaves along with Aloe Vera and coconut oil.

Summer is my skin's worst enemy. Usually I get pimples during summer.

After I started using this soap I didn't get even a single pimple in this summer.  Every time I get pimple it leaves a mark, but this time no pimples no marks.

Home made Organic Soap - Aloe Vera


 From quite some time I was thinking of making my own soap with organic ingredients . I started doing this for my own use and the result is amazing.  

We all know that Aloe vera is good for skin, it helps with sunburn, moisturizes the skin and treats acne.  So my very first choice is Aloe Vera Soap.
