As you embark on this soap-making adventure, you'll discover the many benefits of sea moss, from its rich mineral content to its hydrating and anti-aging properties. So, grab your apron, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to make a soap that will leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and maybe even a little younger, all while having fun along the way!
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 1 day
Total: 31 days
Yield: Dependent on size molds used (about 3 cups)
2 Cups + 2 Tbsp Organic Coconut Oil
2 Tbsp Sea Moss Oil
3 Tbsp Maju Purple Sea Moss Gel
4 oz Sodium Hydroxide Granules
1 Cup filtered water
Essential Oils (optional)
Soap Molds (available on Amazon)
Step 1: Slowly heat the 2 cups plus two tablespoons of coconut oil in a pot until fully melted.
Step 2: Stir in two tablespoons of sea moss oil.
Step 3: Add in your 3 tablespoons of sea moss gel, mix well leaving on low heat while you complete step four.
Step 4: *This step should be done outside for safety reasons.* In a large bowl, carefully combine one cup of water and four ounces of sodium hydroxide granules. Stir this carefully, avoiding any contact with the skin. Avoid inhaling the fumes.
Step 5: Once the water and sodium hydroxide mixture cools, carefully carry it back inside where the pot of oils is sitting under low heat.
Step 6: Slowly pour the water and sodium hydroxide mixture into the pot a little at a time while stirring the mixture constantly.
Step 7: Keep stirring under low heat until the mixture reaches a “trace” consistency. You should see soap residue leaving a trail when drizzled across itself with your mixing spoon.
Step 8: Once you notice the trace pattern, quickly remove from heat.
Step 9: Optional step – Add 20-30 drops of your favorite essential oils. We love Tea Tree, Lavender, Peppermint, and Citrus like Orange or Lemon for a fresh smell and cooling sensation. Stir well until fully combined.
Step 10: Once your essential oils have been fully combined in the mixture, quickly but carefully pour your soap mixture into the molds to cool.
Step 11: Optional step – place molds in the refrigerator for a quicker cooling time.
Step 12: The next day, take the molds out of the refrigerator and pop the bars of soap out.
Step 13: Cure your soap – Store your soap in an area with good ventilation and away from heat or direct sunlight for at least one month.
Step 14: Once your soap has cured for 30 days, it’s ready to go! Enjoy!

Spirulina users can enjoy these powdered, green microalgae in smoothies or straight from the jar. In this post, we will provide tips for mixing up the best consistency with water and three additional super easy, and tasty, ways to take Spirulina.
The first and simplest way to take Spirulina Powder daily is to mix with water. Nobody likes a clumpy texture, so we are sharing a few tips to get the most enjoyable consistency.
Please note: You can use this method to mix with any other liquid – a favorite of ours is vegetable juice!
Step 1: Measure out the amount you want to consume (usually about 1 teaspoon).
Step 2: Add a small amount of liquid very slowly – just enough that it completely coats the powder. While you're pouring, use a spoon to stir the mixture simultaneously. Using a little warm water (not hot), will help dissolve the Spirulina faster and will not destroy any of the essential nutrients. You can use cold, but warm works a lot better.
Step 3: Once you've poured at least half of the liquid you want to consume, begin stirring more quickly. Don't add the remaining liquid until the mixture has changed color (you’re looking for a deep green color). Make sure there aren't any clumps/granules floating around or stuck to the bottom of the glass.
Step 4: If you used warm water, add ice, make sure it is to your liking, and enjoy!
