yeah running low probably means they still have enough to last a few more months but too low as to start restocking, In these situations "Low" means better get or make more soon rather than "oh no its all gone" especially since they make most of their own hygiene supplies.
It’s a real thing for us. We keep a rack of curing soap in the top of our closet (my clothes smell amazing). Once it cures, the soaps stay up there until we need them. I noticed we were down to just a couple left this week, it’s going to be soap making weekend!
The first time i made soap i used coconut oil which came in plastic jars, and ended up cutting my finger a little on a rough part of the jar. Made up my sodium hydroxide solution then took off the gloves to go pee... one tiny drop of solution on my gloves flew through the air and landed on my cut I understood the initiation ritual from Fight Club that day
You should try hot process soap, in a crock pot, you can use it as soon as it hardens. Hot process soap always seems to have more lather to me. I add a bit of beeswax in mine and honey at the end of the cook.
I do something a bit odd with my soaps. I collect natural handmade soaps that people get me on trips from all over the country and world, and I cut "a weeks use" sized slices off of them to be able to always switch it up and make each bar last more uses. would be interesting to maybe melt a slice of 1 or 2 of my favorite bars and pouring them over loofah slices instead of just using them with the loofah slices. would make me even more of a weirdo with my soap but that's OK 😂
Can you share your measurements? We butcher and pack our own venison every year and I would love to render tallow and try it instead of continuing to buy some of the more expensive soaping oils.
I love you guys's channel. Just an FYI if you didn't know milkweed is pretty toxic. I know ingesting it can be really bad I'm not sure using it on your skin is safe or not. Just something to check out some flowers smell beautiful but are still unsafe. Absolutely love what you guys do and using deer tallow for everything you guys use it for blows my mind 💕👍
Injesting Milkweed raw is pretty bad but you can actually cook and eat it since the toxins are not heat stable, cook as you would asparagus and you have a nice vegetable to pai with your main course. The flowers when used in tinctures and soap are used medicinally to aid in skincare and provides fragrance to the soap. it is somewhat toxic but it is negligible if you only use it for bathing and not actually eating large quantities of it like any other soap.
I figure it's akin to using lily of the valley in perfumes. Convallaria spp. are all deathly toxic, but the trace amounts found in perfume extracts are usually regarded as safe. (Synthetic accords are used in most modern perfumes to produce this fragrance note, but I digress.) Especially because Sylvan fragranced these soaps with a milkweed flower tea, toxic compounds should have been denatured by the heating process. Milky saps also tend to lose their phototoxic and irritating qualities once exposed to oxygen and dried, so the flower inclusions are probably harmless, too-but with anything, discontinue use if you experience irritation! Your skin knows best. :)
Looks amazing. But please leave the milkweed for the Monarch’s. We have a nearby park that helps them with migration to Mexico, bunch of milkweed everywhere, but the guy giving the presentation said milkweed is going down due to more houses being built and also less people planting it.😢😢😢
Hey, when I added a loofah in mine, I put the loofah in a Pringles can and put the soap all around it and then cut the whole thing when it was cured. It was very pretty.
Why does it have to cure and how long does it take? Those look exquisite! Can the healing properties of the herbs actually survive the exposure to the heat and lye?
Omg they look like flower pudding cups they probably smell delicious. Can you add honey to soaps or will that make you sticky?? They look like they would be perfectly suited for a drizzle of honey 🍯 💕
I comment on a lot of your videos and you probably won’t see a new comment on an old video, but I went on a bit of a search and apparently topical application of vitamin c can treat and prevent changes associated with photoageing and can help with areas that are hyper pigmented! The more you know! ❤
If you make ash in the fire place during the winter you can use it to make a lye solution! I haven't tried it yet, but I will when I have some dear taloe
The one time I made soap from deer fat it hardened very quickly as I was mixing it. It turned out really great. It likely has more amino acids than typical pork lard or beef tallow.
Now my main concern with using this type of soap. Would simply be if part of the flowers that are in the soap got stuck up in my creases and crevices of my vagina. I would be concerned about that causing an irritation or infection even if you didn't realize it was there until it's too late. That would be like my major one concern about washing myself with the soap that has the little flower pieces in it.
I loved making soap when lye was easy to obtain. Hot process soap allows you to use it quicker than cold process soap, the difference between a day or two with hot process vs a month to cure with cold process.
@@kellybraun5013around here its regulated like decongestants, unless you go through the process of being a le to buy it in bulk and pay for the hazmat shipping cost. Before you could just grab RedDevil Drain Cleaner (100% lye, no óther additives) right off of the bulk buy centers shelf, and at that time it was a dollar for a container12-16 oz, cant remember the amount. Perfect for a small business (one seller's shoppe, about 50-100 bars a month) and personal use producer.
I have a question. Why do you use deer fat? Is it better than normal soap and not harmful somehow, or does it make better use of resources that would otherwise be wasted from a deer?
Is the soap drying? I have heard that prior to the invention of modern shampoos, people never washed their hair with soap, as soap made with lye + fat is too harsh.
I’ve been doing soap with my mom but we usually use olive or coconut oil as o it fat. We tried making one with pork fat but it curdled when we used the stick blender and after we let it set and cure it wasnt usable cause the fat didn’t incorporate and turn into soap. Got any recommendations?
“i was running low on soup” “let it cure for 1 month”😂
Was looking for this comment 😂😂😂
Maybe she has 1 or 2 bars left.

These look beautiful. Don’t worry if they start to brown. Real flowers do that in soap.

Can you share your recipe/techniques? I'm not quite as familiar with hot process!
yesss loofah slices in soap are so great. I was gifted a soap like that once and it’s the only soap I’ve ever completely used up.
I would love loofah in soap!
I love that is grown not manufactured.

They looking beautiful.
These soaps are amazing. I hope you all consider selling some in the future. ❤

I love watching your soap making! 😊
As a soapmaker this was absolutely fascinating! You've made me want to up my game.❤
Ooo you are my favorite new found channel love the content 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
It is so aesthetically pleasing, absolutely beautiful!
Dangerous muffins 😂
Facts. Hand soap is full of bacteria once used in the bar form

Only part of milkweed is toxic. It's edible for humans as well. Almost everything is a little toxic, you just need to inform yourself.
Great vid! Such a pretty soap too!
Such a crunchy lady🥰. i love this
love to see proper PPE all the way through the process! these look lovely - very colourful and fun :D i'm sure they must smell amazing

Beautiful, all-natural, healthy soaps! 😍
My lye mixture also turned from red to green to yellow when i used mulberries from our tree out front for soap. Was super cool
I wish y’all would make one on foraging in the south
Lye is crazy caustic, glad to.see she wore gloves.
Absolutely beautiful 🧼 🌼 🌸
That was awesome and easy Thank You!
You're so cool. I love your videos. I bet that soap smells wonderful.😍
Thank you! 🙂
I love making my own soap! Its so much better than store bought and lasts forever
Thank you for the lesson in soap making.
Hey, when I added a loofah in mine, I put the loofah in a Pringles can and put the soap all around it and then cut the whole thing when it was cured. It was very pretty.
And three cheers to the fabulous silicon trays
You’re overthinking soap.
Love the enthusiasm.
Such a wonderful beautiful soap for u guys and would be super cute thougtful gift for friends ❤😊❤😊
Wonderful video and ingenuity!! Love strong smart women!! Would absolutely love to be able yo buy some,?!?!?! Loved the lufa idea!
Way to go. 👏 M grandma would be so proud of you 👍
😮 wonderful 👍👍👍
Those looks BEAUTIFUL! I wouldn't use them. Only for decoration to put out when I have visitors over! ❤❤❤
You guys are incredible. And you have friends! 😂
How beautiful is this 😍

Love the loofa in soap, my sister made me some from loofa she grew...makes a great gardeners soap
She is so beautiful ❤
Beautiful!!
😢 looks amazing!!
Do you guys have a course where you go over step by step the entire process of soap making?
No, but there are some great tutorials on other channels on here

Love this definitely want some
Those look amazing
Wonderful 💡 idea
I just made two batches from our deer tallow too 🥰
They look really pretty! Isn’t milkweed toxic though? Or is that just the leaves?
I have an "antique" bar of soap that my grandma made over 50 years ago. Just plain lye soap, but it smells good. I'm just keeping it as a memento.
Do you also make soap with honey from your bees wax? I love the smell of honey in soap and hand creams
That is soo freaking cool !!
Super cool. How did you figure out how much lye would saponify the amount of animal fat you used?
We always use an online soap calculator
I have been we seen one that has animal fat as an option! I will look. Thank you.
Looks amazing
Wow I’m kind of new to the channel but do you sell these by any chance they look magnificent 🖤🖤🖤
“Dangerous muffins”
Yes, yes they are 😂❤❤
Those look awesome.. I would buy them from you 😁
If you make ash in the fire place during the winter you can use it to make a lye solution! I haven't tried it yet, but I will when I have some dear taloe
I would love to buy a few bars of your beautiful soap ❤
Soap making is so fun and relaxing
You are so COOL!! 😆❤️✨

They're so pretty 😊
I love your channel! I finally figured out who you look like. It’s a wonderful creator by the name of How to ADHD.😊
I would buy all of these!!
Oh man i should've kept my deer tallow. Now i have an excuse to tell my wife when i go deer hunting this year
Forbidden homemade ice cream is all I see 😂
“and I can’t wait to shi-“ 🤪🤣
🌷 How fun! 😊
Mm,candy! Just joking.
I love the milkweed addition!
Such an awesome demo!
How can I save my milk weed? Does it dry well? Love the smell
Recipe please! I would like to try this but have never done it before ❤
Ooooo any tips for harvesting rose hips?
Now my main concern with using this type of soap. Would simply be if part of the flowers that are in the soap got stuck up in my creases and crevices of my vagina. I would be concerned about that causing an irritation or infection even if you didn't realize it was there until it's too late.

It’s just what we have since we hunt deer for our meat. We try to find a use for every part of the animals we hunt.
@@HomegrownHandgathered that's great and a very good way to make use of the whole animal 😄❤️
There is 3 key ingredients in any ordinary soap: Oil or fat, lye and water. Why would that be harmful if this is the way almost any soap is produced?
So... do you catch the petals in a strainer when you shower?
That is so freaking cool ❤
Amazing!!!
beautiful 😍
Do you ever use ash for your soap instead of lye?
So heat breaks down vitamin C. The soaponification process probably broke it down from the rose hips, but it sure is pretty!
👍 I've never made soap. Now I'm thinking twice of that decision
How do they smell? How’s the after smell when you use it ?
Have y’all experimented with soapwort?
Would the fresh flowers not mold in the soap?
Oh wow a month to cure?? This looks so fulfilling though to encorporate all these things you gathered yourself
Very nice
How do you clean your soap making tools? 😮
I never knew loofah was found in nature 😮 so cool!
Is the soap drying?
I have heard that prior to the invention of modern shampoos, people never washed their hair with soap, as soap made with lye + fat is too harsh.
Amazing.
my mom and I use to make soap like this,we tried to sell it, but people were not in to homemade soap at the time.
Does the deer tallow have any residual smell?
How do they smell? They look like they should smell something like roses, coconut and oranges! ❤
I’ve been doing soap with my mom but we usually use olive or coconut oil as o it fat. We tried making one with pork fat but it curdled when we used the stick blender and after we let it set and cure it wasnt usable cause the fat didn’t incorporate and turn into soap. Got any recommendations?
So is this soap strictly for human bodies or do you use for other applications too?
