@patriciaboatman8423 you could pour it into something else then, even a glass jar!

Better google and compare. It's nettle

I've never done it like that, and so far, no problem, but I could definitely see that happening in my future. Great tip! Thank you!! ❤️

@@oldeworldsoapshoppe your more than welcome, I have had several in my life time blow the bottom and that’s a total mess for sure . Plus you have to throw your produce away due to possible splinters of glass . I have my nettles drying and more tins ordered can hardly wait to get this stocked back up again

Amazon

You're welcome!

Thank you so much! 💓

Hello 😊 I'm glad to see you too, my soapy friend 🧡

Thank you! Yes, definitely.

I just tie up a bundle of herbs with twine and hang them upside down. Many people put them in a paper bag as an added step. You could also bake on low for about 3 hours. 😊

I just put mine in a paper tray cover with a screen or something. Turn every now and then for a few days outside. Once dry I put in oil for a month shake every day .

@@paulpaul5098 cool, thanks! 😊

You're very welcome. If you try it, let me know what you think. It is a harder salve, one that would be very good in summertime when it's hot outside. ❤️

@@oldeworldsoapshoppe yes I will let you know

Aren't they cute! Either way really!

Awesome! Blessings!

You're very welcome! Have a lovely day! 😊

Lol, that's good! I'll use that!

You're welcome! That is so awesome! Do you have a favorite you enjoy making?

To get the soda ash off of the top. It also makes it shiny.

@@GodzHarleyGirlStudio exactly this, thank you!

Thanks

So if you have been using her soap for a long time then you know where to buy it....😊

@@WhispyAcres59 Good morning Acres! I certainly do!! This is my daughter who makes all these wonderful products!!! 🙂 She sends her dad and mom AKA us, lots of goodies for Christmas, my birthday which I just had. etc. but I like to actually buy from her too and she has a brand new place now. I thought YOU might like to know as well! The public! I think it's ETSY now!

I've never tried. I just sell it in the tin or if it's one of mine I'll just take some as needed until gone. It's almost like an extra large lip balm container.

I'm falling asleep posting this. Finally going to bed!

Rosemary oil and castor is great for hair. I use Jojoba too

If you slowly add the lye to ice cubes, about tablespoons at a time, it will stay paler. It works!!

2 Tablespoons at a time. :)

Thank you for all of your sweet comments and tips!! Happy Thanksgiving!

There are many people who love using "shampoo bars." Regarding the word "shampoo, " you're talking about the pharmaceutical word, I'm talking about the actual definition. Some people who have oily hair and get pimples on their scalp enjoy using these because it tames that problem area. Although I don't use this product every day, I use this often and love it. I don't have to have big pharma tell me what is good for me...I can see and feel the effects. Yes, I'm aware of ph. Did you also notice I said that you can condition with an apple cider vinegar rinse? Apple cider vinegar is acidic and has a ph of up to 5. You do you!

I use my soap bars as shampoo I no longer buy bottles shampoo. My hair is healthy it’s soft it’s strong,I tell people they can use these bars for the hair and it’s way better then “shampoo”

…and sit in a sink of cold water or ice…or hold on top of a freezer pad - which is what I do under the extractor fan. Personally, I was startled to see you add not only the clays but more especially the EOs 😮into the lye. Ideally add them at light trace or earlier if you will, at the emulsion stage. The finished product looks great - love your logo 😊

Etsy! I really can't remember from who but they're all over amazon as well. 😃

I meant CHRISTMAS CHEER!!! 🎄🎁🎀

Hi! Nice to have you here. When starting out it can be kind of confusing for you. Let me explain! Yes, you want to wait at least 4 weeks to sell your soap- that is to let all the water evaporate and for your bar to harden. If you sell it after 3 days, it'll be a bummer for the person buying it because it'll still be soft because there's still water in it, and it'll melt down really fast. There are some soap making science books you should look into getting that explain a lot about saponification, the chemical reaction of it all, water content and evaporation, and much more.

It takes six weeks to cure cold process soap.

@@tinkerbell2939 cure is debatable. if your using old fashion wood ash lye then sure 4 to 6 weeks to be safe. Ive come to the conclusion now after making hundreds of cold process soap loafs/bars now that its ready to be used/safe to use after 3 days. the PH is between 8-10 after 2-3 days using regular lye beads you can get from lowes. Yes if you wait 30 days it will be a harder bar but ive tested using it at 3 days and using it at 30 days and you get about the same usage out of it. my bars get 25-28 uses/showers wether its 3 or 30 days so for me and my business ill be taking advantage of that.
