Haciendo jabón de lavar a mano [ESP-ENG] Making hand washing soap

in #hive-1305602 years ago

Saludos aficionados a la artesanía y el reciclaje, hoy les comparto algunos momentos del proceso de elaboración artesanal de jabón. Mi pasión desde hace más de 7 años y en esta ocasión además de ser un trabajo artesanal, es un trabajo de reciclaje, ya que la materia principal para su elaboración es un alto porcentaje de aceite de freír alimentos en un restaurante, que en lugar de terminar en el desagüe contaminando las aguas residuales.
Procedemos a filtrar y desodorizar, para luego añadiendo los complementos necesarios, darle nueva vida como jabón útil para lavar ropa o en caso necesario lavarse las manos.
No lo recomiendo como jabón de baño, aunque aquí en Venezuela son muchísimas las personas que se bañan con jabón de lavar, conocido como jabón azul por su color. La marca líder que no mencionare, conocedora de esta costumbre hace años que puso en el mercado piezas de menor tamaño y color más claro que diferenciaban con una fragancia que llaman de bebé, para facilitar su uso en la ducha.

Mi jabón totalmente natural resulta de un agradable color blanco resultado de la saponificación, sin necesidad de colorante y solo le incorpore una fragancia mezcla de flores y cítricos generalmente asociada a la limpieza. También hice una versión en color verde claro con el jugo de hojas hierba Luisa que crece en mi patio y además aporta un ligero olor cítrico, esta planta es un arbusto rastrero al que también llaman Citrona y Santa María con el que se elaboran infusiones de refrescante sabor cítrico como refrigerio y caliente para aliviar el catarro. Pero los primeros usuarios, prefieren el blanco.

En el pasado he publicado acerca de esta afición y de mis jabones de uso cosmético para pieles sensibles, delicadas o con necesidades especiales. Empleando una variedad de aceites vegetales y aditivos de probadas propiedades beneficiosas a la piel, como: Avena, arcillas, sábila (aloe vera) y otros productos de origen vegetal o animal como es el caso de la miel y cera de abeja.
Siento gran satisfacción cuando personas que han usado mis jabones, comentan que les resultó de ayuda controlando el exceso de grasa, el acné o la psoriasis. dolencias que precisan de tratamiento recomendado por un especialista médico, pero que siempre empieza por el uso de un jabón amigable con la piel.
Espero que la secuencia fotográfica sea de su agrado y la disfruten como yo disfruto mi trabajo.

Sábado 9.30 a. m. nivelando el molde lleno de jabón recién trazado. El trabajo previo, consistió en pesar y mezclar los ingredientes: Aceites, lejía, quelantes y fragancia. Batir por el tiempo necesario hasta alcanzar cierta consistencia, que llamamos "La Traza" pues se trata del momento en que la mezcla ha espesado para que al pasar una espátula por la superficie, quede marcado el trazo.

Domingo por la tarde, luego de 30 horas el jabón está sólido y listo para cortar en piezas de tamaño manejable.
Aunque todavía falta que el jabón se cure durante 30 días para estar en condiciones de ser usado, en este momento sabemos que el resultado fue satisfactorio, al apreciar el color, la textura y dureza del producto.

Una vez dividido el bloque en barras de igual tamaño se procede a cortarlas en piezas individuales.

Y así uno a uno hasta cortarlos todos.

Las fotos fueron tomadas por mi esposa e hija con la cámara del teléfono Redmi A9 durante esta parte del proceso, que en esta ocasión resultó más interesante por la cantidad, la cual hacía tiempo que procesaba.

Greetings fans of crafts and recycling, today I share with you some moments of the process of handmade soap making. My passion for more than 7 years and this time besides being a craft work, it is a recycling work, since the main material for its elaboration is a high percentage of oil from frying food in a restaurant, which instead of ending up in the drain polluting the sewage.
We proceed to filter and deodorize, and then adding the necessary complements, we give it a new life as a useful soap for washing clothes or washing hands if necessary.
I do not recommend it as a bath soap, although here in Venezuela there are many people who bathe with washing soap, known as blue soap because of its color. The leading brand that I will not mention, aware of this custom, years ago put on the market pieces of smaller size and lighter color that differentiated with a fragrance that they call baby, to facilitate its use in the shower.

My all-natural soap has a nice white color as a result of saponification, without the need of coloring and I only incorporated a fragrance mixture of flowers and citrus generally associated with cleanliness. I also made a light green version with the juice of lemongrass leaves that grows in my yard and also provides a slight citrus scent, this plant is a creeping shrub also called Citrona and Santa Maria with which infusions of refreshing citrus flavor are made as a snack and hot to relieve colds. But the first users, prefer the white one.

In the past I have posted about this hobby and my soaps for cosmetic use for sensitive, delicate or special needs skin. Using a variety of vegetable oils and additives of proven beneficial properties to the skin, such as: oatmeal, clays, aloe vera and other products of vegetable or animal origin such as honey and beeswax.
I feel great satisfaction when people who have used my soaps, comment that they found it helpful in controlling excess oil, acne or psoriasis, ailments that require treatment recommended by a medical specialist, but that always starts with the use of a skin friendly soap.
I hope you like the photographic sequence and enjoy it as much as I enjoy my work.

Saturday 9.30 a.m. leveling the mold filled with freshly traced soap. The previous work consisted of weighing and mixing the ingredients: Oils, lye, chelants and fragrance. We call it "The Trace" because it is the moment when the mixture has thickened so that when a spatula is passed over the surface, the trace is marked.

Sunday afternoon, after 30 hours the soap is solid and ready to cut into manageable sized pieces.
Although the soap has yet to cure for 30 days before it is ready to be used, at this point we know that the result was satisfactory, appreciating the color, texture and hardness of the product.

Once the block has been divided into bars of equal size, they are cut into individual pieces.

And so one by one until they are all cut.

The pictures were taken by my wife and daughter with the camera of the Redmi A9 phone during this part of the process, which this time was more interesting because of the quantity, which I had been processing for a long time.
