Okay, here is my sharing about making white tea hand soap:

So, I’ve been wanting to try making my own hand soap for a while now. I saw a few things online about white tea being good for your skin – like, it can help with inflammation and stuff. Plus, I just really like the smell of white tea. It’s kinda earthy and fresh, you know? I figured, why not give it a shot?

First, I had to find some stuff that mentioned “white tea” and “soap” together. I did a little digging around, and it seemed like not a lot of places were selling white tea hand soap anymore. I saw something about a brand called Softsoap that used to make one with a berry scent, but it sounded like they stopped making it. Bummer.

I thought maybe I could just buy some, so I checked out a place called Target. They had some stuff labeled “antibacterial hand soap white tea,” but it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to make my own, from scratch. So, the shopping trip wasn’t super helpful for this project.

Next, I started looking into what I’d actually need to make the soap. I found out that you need some basic oils, and lye, which is kinda scary to work with. I definitely didn’t want to mess that up. I also figured I needed some white tea, obviously. So, I brewed a really strong cup of white tea, stronger than I’d ever drink.

Then came the scary part – mixing the lye with the water. I wore gloves and goggles and did it outside, just like all the tutorials said. It got really hot, really fast, which was a little freaky. After that cooled down, I slowly poured in the oils and the tea, mixing it all together with a hand blender.

• Brew a strong cup of white tea.
• Carefully mix lye with water.
• Add oils and tea to the lye mixture.
• Blend everything together.
• Pour into molds and let it sit.

It took forever to get to the right consistency, like a thick pudding. Then I poured it into these little molds I got and just… waited. I had to let it sit for like, 24 hours before I could even unmold it. And then, even after that, it had to cure for a few weeks! Talk about a test of patience.

Finally, after what felt like forever, the soap was ready! I tried it out, and it actually worked! It lathered up nicely and didn’t dry out my hands. It had a faint white tea smell, which was really nice and subtle. Not super strong, but definitely there.

My conclusion?

Making your own hand soap is a lot of work, but it’s pretty cool to see it all come together. It’s very interesting to do it! If you’re into DIY stuff and have some time on your hands, I’d say give it a try. Just be careful with that lye, okay? And don’t expect it to smell like those super-perfumed soaps you buy at the store. This is more of a natural, subtle scent thing. Also, be ready to wait, because it takes a while. A long, long while. But hey, in the end, you get to say you made your own soap! How cool is that?
