Natural soap-making

Natural soap-making requires quite a bit of skill, practice and most importantly, patience When we at Abyssinian Beauty Products make a batch of natural cold-process soap, we must wait 24-48 hours for it to undergo full saponification,  then we cut it into bars before waiting another 4-8 weeks for it to "cure" prior to boxing or wrapping the soap to sell. The 4 - 8 weeks of Curing allows water to evaporate, which improves the lather and longevity of the bar.

This is a time-consuming process, which is why most soap companies have abandoned it in favour of machine-made bars that contain solvents, stearic acid hardeners, and synthetic detergents (SLS) to create quick, mass-produced soap that can be made easily in a factory or workshop setting using  machines.

Many of the soaps made by companies in the country are cheap, machine-made bars with a pretty stamp and wrapping.  

Handmade Soaps

At Abyssinian Beauty Cosmetics, everyone of our soaps are handmade. We use cold processing as well as hot processing methods to produce our organic, natural unrefined soaps.

Our soaps do not have the synthetic chemical perfume smells found in commercially made soaps. Our soaps do not have synthetic harmful reagents, in short our soaps are made from unrefined oils and butters with herb extracts and minerals found naturally in nature.

At Abyssinian Beauty Products, our soaps come in a variety of sizes as illustrated above:

What Are The Benefits Of Turmeric Oil For hair?

Turmeric essential oil is rich in antioxidants making it excellent for stimulating new cells to grow, promoting healthy hair follicles and preventing hair loss. The anti-inflammatory properties of the oil contribute to reducing scalp inflammation and improving hair growth.

How to use turmeric oil for hair:

1. Get rid of dandruff naturally: Add a few drops of turmeric oil to a carrier oil such as neem oil (excellent for dandruff and eliminating lice) or argan oil (an amazing hair conditioner). The powerful anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric oil help to keep dandruff at bay and soothe an irritated scalp.

2. Treat scalp conditions:

A fungal infection can lead to a red, itchy, irritated scalp. Turmeric oil's antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities can relieve your scalp symptoms and stop an infection in its tracks.

Benefits of Carrot Oil for Skin

Used as an Anti-fungal - Carrot oil has strong antifungal properties owing to the presence of carotene sesquiterpenes carotol, daucol and beta caryophyllene. According to a research conducted in 2004, it was found that carrot oil inhibited the growth of fungi by approximately 65%. 

Skin Anti-oxidant - carrot oil contains high levels of vitamin A, powerful antioxidants and carotenoids. It also has high levels of tocopherol which is a fat-soluble Vitamin E. The anti-oxidants present in carrot oil protect the skin and promote skin healing with the help of skin regeneration. It stimulates the skin cells and is also used in many skin creams due to its rejuvenating properties. 

Perfume Ingredient - Carrot seed oil is very concentrated and has a naturally sweet scent. It is used as a combination with other scents and highly used as an essential oil in aromatherapy products. It is also used in the manufacturing of various perfumes. 

Nutraceutical Plant - Carrot oil is known as a strong nutraceutical product owing to its various medical and health benefits. It is helpful in healing the body and protecting it against various diseases. Carrot oil is power-packed with vitamins C, A and E. All these are essential vitamins which protect the body from illnesses. Carrot oil has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is used to treat orchitis which is a type of swelling and inflammation in the testes. 

Benefits of Orange Oil for Skin 

Benefits of Orange Oil

1. Nourishes dry, irritated and acne-prone skin.

2. Acts as an excellent toner.

3. Promotes a feeling of happiness and warmth when used in aromatherapy.

4. Helps to eliminate toxins from the body.

5. Contains all-natural antimicrobial.

6. Has anti-inflammatory properties. Sweet orange is one of several popular anti-inflammatory oils, including lemon, pine and eucalyptus. Orange oil has been shown to be the most effective.

7. Reduces anxiety and boosts mood.

8. Natural anti-depressant. Orange oil has been used as a mild tranquilizer for centuries. As little as five minutes of exposure to diffused orange oil can alter moods and enhance motivation, relaxation and clarity.

Orange Oil is an excellent skin toner, removing dark blemishes eliminating uneven skin tone.

Benefits of Onion Oil for hair 

One small study published in the Journal of Dermatology indicated that applying onion juice to the scalp might help hair regrow in some people. Researchers found that hair growth started after 2 weeks of using onion juice, which was applied to the scalp twice daily. 

The antioxidants present in onion oil can help delay the greying of hair. This action actually goes further, since onions can be used to not just delay greying, but reverse it as well. This is because of the presence of catalase in onions that can inhibit the amount of hydrogen peroxide in the roots, and in turn, keep it from turning grey. To prepare a hair mask to deal with grey hair, combine onion oil with lemon juice and mask your scalp and hair with the mixture for 30 minutes. Wash with mild shampoo and follow up with a conditioner to keep any dryness caused by the lemon juice at bay. 

1) Can I leave onion oil on my hair overnight?

A. Yes, onion oil can be kept on your hair overnight, just make sure to cover your head with a shower cap to avoid staining your pillows. The smell of homemade onion oil can stay on fabric even after washing. So make sure to add a couple of drops of lemon juice to the washing load of clothing/bedding that did get onion oil on it.

2) How often can I use onion oil on my hair?

A. An onion oil treatment can be used on your hair once or twice a week, never more than that. This is because, if overdone, the high sulphur content of onions can sensitise your scalp to other hair products, sometimes even causing irritation and itchiness.

3) Can onion oil cause hair fall?

A. Onion oil does not directly lead to hair loss, as the nutrients present in it can help boost blood circulation on your scalp and improve hair growth. Any hair loss associated with the use of onion oil is because overdoing head massages with onion oil can lead to scalp infections. This, in turn, causes hair loss in some people.

Benefits of Turmeric Oil for skin:

1. Fight acne naturally: Being a powerful antimicrobial turmeric essential oil makes an excellent acne fighter. The oil helps to naturally dry out pimples and prevent future breakouts.

2. Reduce blemishes : Turmeric is often a key ingredient used in anti-blemish and anti-scar skin creams. Use 1-2 drops of turmeric essential oil with a carrier oil such as organic argan oil (a healing moisturizer) to tone skin and fade away blemishes.

3. Treat sunburn: A 2011 study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology documented that Curcuma longa extract, or turmeric essential oil used in skin creams, can protect against the harmful effects of the sun. The study concluded that the "photoprotective properties" of the extract "resulted in improvement in skin properties like skin hydration and sebum content." To soothe irritation and redness from sunburn, mix 1-2 drops of turmeric oil with jojoba oil and apply to affected areas.

4. Soften cracked heels: Soak feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes and pat dry with a towel. Mix a few drops of turmeric oil with a carrier oil such as castor oil (an excellent detoxifier) and apply generously to your heels. Repeat weekly, preferably before bedtime for naturally soft heels!

5. Anti-aging regimen: Brimming with antioxidants, turmeric oil can keep your facial skin soft and supple, reduce fine lines and give your skin a healthy glow. Combine turmeric essential oil in a 1:1 ratio with a carrier oil. So for example, if you're using 5 drops of almond oil, mix in 5 drops of turmeric oil and with your fingertips gently massage into wrinkle-prone areas such as the temples, and around the mouth area and nose. Use daily as part of your night time routine for best results.

Handmade Soaps

At Abyssinian Beauty Cosmetics, everyone of our soaps are handmade. We use cold processing as well as hot processing methods to produce our organic, natural  unrefined soaps.

Our soaps do not have the synthetic chemical perfume smells found in commercially made soaps. Our soaps synthetic harmful reagents, in short our soaps are made from unrefined oils and butters  with herb extracts and minerals found naturally in nature.

The Art of Soap making

• vegetable oils.
• 100 percent pure lye.
• distilled water.
• essential or skin-safe essential oils (optional)
• Plant extracts (optional)

For example Black cumin seed oil has antibacterial properties and helps solve acne problem on skin. Black cumin seeds in the soap make perfect peeling that invigorates skin and refreshes its color.

Ingredients: Olive oil, Castor oil, Coconut oil, Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Black cumin seed oil.

Shea Butter + Soap = Great Success

Because Shea Butter is high in stearic and oleic acids, it is able to produce a long-lasting hard soap with a stable conditioning lather.

Shea Butter is a great choice when it comes to soap making oils. Not only does it perform beautifully in the soap making process, it also has some fantastic natural skin loving benefits. Even when mixed with other ingredients to make soap, Shea butter retains its emollient and anti-inflammatory properties. It creates a creamy, not overly sudsy lather that cleans and moisturizes skin. Shea butter soap is gentle on the skin and can be used by people with sensitive skin- and even on babies.

Above: Shea Butter is one of our essential ingredients when producing Abyssinian beauty products. Like the Coffee Soap above all of our soaps use Shea Butter as a main ingredient.

"I love the exfoliating properties of Ethiopian clay soap. It is a moisturizing abrasive soap with a rich brown texture. Many of  oils and shea butters used in the production of our soaps come from Ghana, South Africa, Morocco, and Kenya. Other ingredients are sourced in South America, India, and beyond. In the future, our aspiration is to grow all of our ingredients in Ethiopia."

How do you treat heat pimples?

Take a slice of lemon, rub it on your face, leave it for a few hours and rinse off with cold water. Lemon cleans the dirt accumulated on the pores, and hardens the sebum. Tea tree oil acts like an antiseptic and helps in removing damaged skin cells by slightly irritating the skin.
