I have a question, I deal with eczema at times so this would be something I will definitely try, my only question is if this bar is good for eczema why would there be oatmeal in it, its oatmeal drying. ?
@@dps5819 I know there are some people with eczema that are allergic to any type of oats. If that is you, you can leave the oatmeal out 😊. Maybe buy a bar or make it in a small batch and then see how you react to it.
I absolutely love what you do hun. I'm a soap maker and using natural ingredients in soaping and Milk. I don't think everyone knows how difficult it is. A lot of chemistry goes into that and you have to work out how much water is in your puree then water discount then if you want to do color and swirls worrying about trace and what colors won't morph. Brava my dear. Huge fan. I make a lot of natural botanical puree soaps so I know..looks wonderful.
For those wanting to try in-pot swirl, DON'T mix it too much while in the pot! In this case, for that tiny amount of white soap, I wouldn't have swirled it at all. I would have maybe turned the bowl as I poured. Been making soap for over 3 years and watching tutorials for 2 yrs before that. Thanks for the idea of using turmeric and I have access to local raw honey. 😍
I tried this soap for the 1st time last night and OMG my skin still feels amazing. My son has really bad eczema and I think this will help him. I'll let you know. Love love love this product! ❤❤❤ I came back to add... this soap is very calming.
Dislike isn’t towards the video, but towards the payment method! Membership pricing & pay to have questions answered! But she can respond “thank you” to your post while simple questions have gone unanswered for over a year! I don’t expect anything for free & believe people could/should profit from their knowledge, but her site is pure GREED!
Lovely soap! Thank you for sharing! You might want to lay your loaf on it’s side to cut. It will avoid the drag marks from the botanicals that you sprinkled on top.
Even better, add cinnamon directly to the grounds when brewing your coffee, it adds a lovely flavour, AND is great for diabetics. If in ANY doubt, run it by your doctor! My cleaning lady dropped 20+ lbs without doing anything different in her life, except drinking my coffee in the morning instead of her local coffee shop's, and with mine, she was getting full fat cream and sugar. Her Dr. Asked her what she was doing differently, all she could come up with was my coffee, she told him what I did to customize it to my own taste, he leaped on the *cinnamon*, said "THAT'S it, keep drinking that! In fact, try to get an extra cup "to go." The more you can get into you, regularly, the better. Find out EXACT MEASUREMENTS, so you can duplicate it on days you're not going there!" I forgot to tell her to tell him, I also add three whole cloves to the basket before adding in the cinnamon powder and then the ground coffee. It's just what *I* like. If she didn't like it, I do keep a jar of instant around for just that reason. Could always make her a cup of her own taste. But it wasn't an issue, she adored the odours and really wanted to try some...so she did! And does NOT take it black. Same as me. Triple cream, double sugar, yet she was losing weight on it. Truth to tell, woman works like a trouper! Anyone WATCHING her would expect she'd lose weight! No matter what, she just goes and goes and goes. Makes the Energizer bunny look like a slacker. Yet she went from prediabetic to "nowhere near at risk", apparently just because of the added spoonful(about)of ground cinnamon in the coffee grounds that the hot water percolated through. If the cloves had anything to do with it, there were 3 whole ones right in the very bottom, under the cinnamon. But I've never been able to find anything anywhere relating cloves to weight or diabetes, or even insulin effectiveness. 🤷♀️
@@iamuche1174 so i can't say "my hairdresser" or "my grocer"....come on you ninny stop being so offended. She doesn't feel she owns her help, since your mind automatically goes there it really says more about you than her. Clearly she thinks her help is awesome while you see her as someone to be insulted when there was no insult.
@@iamuche1174 i like u!!!! People need to lighten up. The biggest racial tension right now is merely made up! People need to stop inventing problems we have enough real ones.
Jasmine Flowers thank you! The shelf life is about one year. Lye is a necessary ingredient to turn the oils into soap. Once the oils and the lye combine, and the molecules bind to each other you have soap. The carrots get preserved in this process.
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany if you melt down base vs from scratch, is the shelf life the same? May seem like a dumb question, but a newbie. If the lye is not actively working and essentially gone in a base, I imagine the shelf life is way lower?
I used to have books I acquired from an estate sale. A whole series of herbal soaps . well I never got to make any due to unfortunate events in family. Those books conveniently disappeared. I have began going more natural and diy and have saved LOTS of money.
This video popped up in my recommendations for some reason but I’m glad it did. This along with other videos of yours that I’ve binge watched have brought me to taking on soap making! Just purchased from Bramble Berry this morning. Thank you so much for sharing!
Cory O'Briant I made my soap yesterday and I let it solidify overnight for 12 hours. This morning when I cut it, the loaf broke into pieces. I was able to get the middle to look like a half decent bar. It was a one pound loaf and I cut it with a kitchen knife. Is that where I may have gone wrong?
Curly Hijabi soap making takes a lot of practice and there is a big learning curve. Could your measurements have been off? There a number of different things that could have caused. I have never unmolded a soap after 12 hours. My recipes need at least 24 hours to set up. But yours was brittle after 12 hours. Can you take a pic?
Cory O'Briant I didn’t use exact measurements on the distilled water. It called for 4.95 ounces and I put 4 ounces. And I was an ounce over on my oil. I can’t find a way to attach a picture unfortunately 😩
Curly Hijabi ok so back to the drawing board! Those measurements should have been fine. Sometimes it can get hard and brittle from not enough water or too much sodium hydroxide. Also, it can get brittle if you use too much palm or cocoa butter or beeswax or stearin acid. On your next batch, try reducing your hard oils and butters and making sure the water is spot on. It really shouldn’t be ready to come out if the mold in 12 hours
Looks wonderful I would like to try that I would also like to see you make something with green tea macho and something with pumpkin in it I’ve really enjoyed your video look forward to seeing more
Soooo wicked to watch this when you speed it up! New sub mama! I don't make soap but I love learning how to do things at home. I know this an old video but I'd love to see a vanilla sugar scrub soap. I know it would smell divine and would exfoliate the skin. Also a coffee scrub soap using coffee grounds for the "scrub" portion
Filed Away By April lol!! I have both of those items on my website right now. Check out my rose and shine video to see how the coffee soap is made with coffee grounds 😊
Hi, thanks for the video 😍 I think some herbs or flowers (rosemary, lavender, rose, ...) soap could be interesting! Last week I made a mint soap and I can't wait to use it 😜
Gosh, I guess alot of these people don't realize that soap recipes are generated through hard work and experimentation and are not typically shared. I just want to say, your video and beautiful soap inspired me to make my own version of a Carrot, Turmeric and Honey soap. Thank you for your contribution to the community and for inspiring me to make another excellent seller.
Well said!! Soaping comes with experimentation, researching + plus time and money. You've given the technique, now it should be up to the individual to formulate. Maybe you could sell your recipe via Etsy? I see other creators do something similar and create a digital download. I'm researching a prickly pear and aloe soap right now and will churn it out tomorrow. Beautiful soap btw!
@@jolante1188 I tried the basil, peach, and ginger leaving out the honey, and that was pretty good. I also tried rose, tarragon, and lavender. A little tarragon goes a long way, but it also was lovely. Highly recommend. ☺ I should also mention that the ginger split my soap. . .emulsion? Idk the science behind it, but it separated. I was able to blend it back together with an emulsion blender, but it still scared me. I still don't know what I did wrong.
Could you make a soap with charcoal and ground seeds like apricot? Also, I'd like to see how you make soap from potash. Also, I appreciate the neatness and intention that you exhibit as you make soap. It was rather nice hearing children in the background like a regular home. Perhaps a video where you're teaching them, if their old enough, how to make soap would make an interesting video for parents and grandparents. Passing these skills to the next generation is so very important.
Chamomile oil is one of the most expensive oils, I would be really curious if is worth using it in soap. Does it maintain the original properties or it gets burned by the lye?
During the preparation of the lye solution, it gets hot as soon as the Caustic soda gets in contact with the water. Keep an ice bath to make sure it is well below 30 C. It should be fine ...
I would have really appreciated to know the amounts of each ingredient you used in this soap making as I am a new herbalist and would like to make some of it for my grandchildren who have acne.
@Queen Mercy I would be very interested in that recipe if you sharing. In hot process I'm never sure when to add purees. also wonder whart EO she used in this
@@nourhanmuhammed743 I prefer to make body cream or shampoo. But, if you follow the ladies instructions just add some other ingredients as well. Such as, honey coconut oil, shear butter, and some essential oils. I just saw a essential oil I have not used before it is called CHAULMOOGRA Essential Oil but, I will try it.
@@StevePhillips I want to make liquid shampoo and natural soap but I can't find the way of preparation and there is a matter use for make soap solid and creamy I don't know it but I will follow your advices 💙💙 thank you
@@nourhanmuhammed743 I buy all ingredients from EBay to make shampoo and body cream I usually buy organic natural ingredients. I also make herbal extracts. Look up Swedish Bitters. It is like a super tonic good for many health conditions. Swedish Bitters was made popular by Maria Treben, in her famous herbalist book. "Health through God's Pharmacy" it is called.
I would love to see a soap made from pumpkin puree. If possible please. I made a face mask with pumpkin puree and copiaba essential oil and was very nice.
I made this lovely recipe and gave a bar to the nurse in my doctor's office because she has very sensitive skin and has had trouble with other soaps. I can't wait to see her again so she can tell me if it worked for her. I handed her the soap and she looks at it and says "is this the soap from the woman in California" which i was surprised to hear and I'm glad she remembered, lol. I told her where i got the recipe so if she likes it im sure she will be ordering some from you.
I kinda messed up the story. The nurse asked me if it was from the soap maker lady in CA and i said "I made the soap but the recipe belongs to the lady in CA, Sunshine Soap and Candle Company"
Rhubarb and custard with ginger , lavender and chamomile, tea tree oil with coconut or almond goat milk and honey, or eucalyptus oil and rosehip oil with almond oil lemon and ginger root with dandelion flowers and coconut oil . List is endless ... Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge and soap making could you use anything other than lye ?! Kind regards swift hug from England
There’s a lot of sugar in this recipe. Do you refrigerate it afterwards to keep it from heating up to much and causing a volcano? Looks amazing, I definitely want to try it. Thank you for the tutorial. 😊
J P hank you for watching! I usually fast forward through me adding in the the lye solution because it can be loud, lol, and takes a while. All I did here was pour in the lye solution and blend to a light trace 😊hope this helps
Here is some helpful info I found. It’s recommended that your equipment be used only for soap making. Most of it can be picked up inexpensively at yard sales or thrift shops. You’ll need: a scale to measure ingredients a stainless steel or enamel pot a glass or plastic pitcher for mixing and pouring the lye plastic containers for holding oil while it’s being weighed - I use 32 oz plastic yogurt containers 2 large plastic or wooden spoons - one for stirring the lye and one for the oils a spatula 2 thermometers - one for the lye and one for the oil soap mold - this can be as simple as a shoe box lined with plastic or parchment paper, a plastic tray with sides, or a plastic shoe box rubber gloves - wear these the entire time cardboard to fit over the molds a blanket to insulate the cooling soap When properly prepared with exact measurements, a chemical reaction occurs called saponification, turning it into soap with glycerin. Then if cured for several weeks, no lye will remain in the final product. Check out website learningandyearning.com/basic-soap-making/
What about making a hair soap? The big thing nowadays seems to be hair bars...im thinking you could make a black rice water and coconut milk bar...both are said to be so good for hair
I will def try this recipe at home this ingredients seems to be very helpful to apply directly to the skin without harm or damage to the skin. Thank you for sharing your idea 💡!
Thank you for this amazing video, but could you write down all the ingredient elements requirements? Because i did not recognize some of them. Thanks again
Just lovely and a thought you could use pumpkin instead of carrot and I find citrus Eoils just don't hold but Bergamot & Patchouli a Blend & Lavender is Calming for the skin to I've made aloe vera soap with the pulp Thanks for the Inspiration *Lovely Soap BTW
The most accurate measurement is to put your container on some good scientific scales, and weigh in the ingredients. But you need to record the weight of the container itself, because most scales have very poor memories.
I have used ground cinnamon. If you ground it yourself you can have it more or less coarse. If you blend the cinnamon in it will act as a colorant. I have also used it with a thicker trace and layered it in dry. It was a great exfoliant when done that way. You can make a crust on the bottom and top as well.
@@ONESINGLEONLYGOALINSHALLAH you can try it's only going to help you gain new ideas , try Aleo Vera and rose oil add little honey and rice with coconut oil to carry oils or lavender and almond oils with almond or goats milk , ginger and rhubarb or chocolate rose oil with coconut oil... List is endless Apple crumble with walnuts almond oils thanks for sharing your precious knowledge. Tc keep smiling. Kind regards swift hug from England
Great video - love the soap idea! I love learning from veteran soapers as I'm am new to soaping. I'm Still just using M&P in making soaps, but hoping to take the next step into "from scratch" cold process in the next year. Thanks for sharing - enjoyable to watch.
Wow. I really appreciate the effort and love you've put into making something you enjoy doing, I will def be a customer and support you in what you are doing. Best of luck to you, your business, and your family, and God bless
Lol did you forget to take your goggles off,nice soap ,I think for the carrot addition I'd prefer to use carrot powder,or infused carrot oil,I'd have to research the carrot puree, as I worry about adding water to my lovely oils 😊
You lie to us in the video you don't tell us the Name of the clear liquid you added to the oil and the last liquid you hiding yourself behind the scene you mixed together and you added at the minute
Lye is so harsh on the skin, I was wondering how to make bar soap without using lye? I was also wondering if using turmeric in the soap will stain the skin orange.
You unfortunately can't make soap without lye. Even melt and pour soaps contain lye. If you want a soap that isn't as harsh, just use more fat; it may not lather as much, but it will be more gentle on the skin.
You make a superfatted soap, so that you are certain that all of the lye has found fat to react with and there is still some fat left over. So long as the fat you're using is something beneficial for your skin, the unreacted fat in your finished product will be a positive. You definitely do not want unreacted lye in your finished soap for use on your skin! But it can be useful in the laundry.
Lisa Surles great question! Lye, water and oil are the base ingredients in any soap that lathers. It cannot be made without lye. Once the ingredients are mixed together it starts to turn into soap. Within 24 hours most soaps are mild enough to touch but you want to let it cure for 4 to 6 weeks for The soap to harden and become even more gentle. Lye in its raw form is not a safe ingredient for the skin. I hope this makes sense 😊
Cory is correct. The chemical reaction of lye mixed in water, milks or other fluids then combined with fats or oils or a combination of those creates soap. After complete mixing and saponification the lye is no longer present as a destructive chemical, it is soap.
If you have it without lye than you don’t have soap, the people that tell you that you don’t need lye to make soap are people who don’t know what they are talking about thus they should not be making ANYTHING!!!!!
Is lye what harden soap? Curious that gloves and protective eye wear is needed to protect skin from lye but it’s used in soap? Can soap be made without lye? 🤷♀️
Sueqethea Jones all real soap is made with lye. During the saponification process(chemical joining of lye and oil/fat molecules to create soap and natural glycerin) all the lye is used up as oil turns to soap. So when the soap is done curing there is no lye left. If there is lye left something was done wrong in the mixing process or you used too much. Typically if you don’t use lye none of your ingredients will bind together and it’s just a gloopy mess
Ohooooo wooooow watch this but could u please be having a video for first timers ,equipment used ,the oil mentioned in the process cos the mixer machine has been making noise help me
No! Don’t just add lye all by itself. It needs to be added to a liquid, first. She should have answered you right away! It’s dangerous to add plain lye to anything without knowing exactly what you are doing. This is two years late. Hopefully, you didn’t go ahead without doing your own investigation into how to make soap. By the way, there are millions of recipes for soaps on YT.
I would like to make a carrot and ginger soap. I'm not sure how to add the ginger (as a puree or infused in the oil). I'd love to see you use ginger in a recipe to help me decide. Thanks for your videos; they are such a great help.

Can you make a video of how to make organic liquid or paste soap?
We don’t like to use the bar soap.

Airefresc Bcn thank you! It is pretty amazing to use all natural, sustainable products that benefit us in so many ways!
Make some honey coconut soap, could add shear butter, carrot, nettle and calendula with hint of mint or lavender maybe both.
Steve Phillips
Make some....please send me a bar of your soap when you get done..!
can you send me the recipe?
@@nourhanmuhammed743 I prefer to make body cream or shampoo. But, if you follow the ladies instructions just add some other ingredients as well. Such as, honey coconut oil, shear butter, and some essential oils. I just saw a essential oil I have not used before it is called CHAULMOOGRA Essential Oil but, I will try it.
@@StevePhillips I want to make liquid shampoo and natural soap but I can't find the way of preparation and there is a matter use for make soap solid and creamy I don't know it but I will follow your advices 💙💙 thank you
@@nourhanmuhammed743 I buy all ingredients from EBay to make shampoo and body cream I usually buy organic natural ingredients. I also make herbal extracts. Look up Swedish Bitters. It is like a super tonic good for many health conditions. Swedish Bitters was made popular by Maria Treben, in her famous herbalist book. "Health through God's Pharmacy" it is called.
I would love to see you make this with fresh pineapple ans coconut
Wow that was amazing and I loved the designing technic!
Betty bradshaw thank you so much!
Ur welcome!
I'm sure this would be beautiful on the face and décolleté
So beautiful and interesting!!! And I need that since I have eczema, the process of making it though😩
Qp
you never said how long you let it dry for?
Do we need to refrigerate it?
I would love to see a soap made from pumpkin puree. If possible please. I made a face mask with pumpkin puree and copiaba essential oil and was very nice.
What’s copiaba smell like & does it have any healthful properties? Thanky
I made this lovely recipe and gave a bar to the nurse in my doctor's office because she has very sensitive skin and has had trouble with other soaps. I can't wait to see her again so she can tell me if it worked for her. I handed her the soap and she looks at it and says "is this the soap from the woman in California" which i was surprised to hear and I'm glad she remembered, lol. I told her where i got the recipe so if she likes it im sure she will be ordering some from you.
I kinda messed up the story. The nurse asked me if it was from the soap maker lady in CA and i said "I made the soap but the recipe belongs to the lady in CA, Sunshine Soap and Candle Company"
Fabricated Reality wow!! Keep me
Updated on how she likes it! 😊
Hi...what is the shelf life of soaps made with purees and fruits?? What is the reason that purees and vegetables and fruits doesn't go rancid??
Good question! I am now wondering about that as well!
Three words, organic avocado pit. It's a rather soft pit. You could go even further and grind up the peel. Top it with yellow mica or deep red mica.
Please what are you using this for
@@kameishamartin311 an exfoliant for removal of dead skin cells.
Yes avocado pit works well as scrub
Do made it for sale
I want yo buy some from you
I'm new here and I really love what I'm seeing.
What was the clear liquid that was added in the beginning?
Lye solution
Nice video 👌👌. Never knew the amount of work it takes to make soap.
Rhubarb and custard with ginger , lavender and chamomile, tea tree oil with coconut or almond goat milk and honey, or eucalyptus oil and rosehip oil with almond oil lemon and ginger root with dandelion flowers and coconut oil . List is endless ... Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge and soap making could you use anything other than lye ?! Kind regards swift hug from England
There’s a lot of sugar in this recipe. Do you refrigerate it afterwards to keep it from heating up to much and causing a volcano? Looks amazing, I definitely want to try it. Thank you for the tutorial. 😊
Natasha Sinclair no I just leave it out room temp. It always works fine
When I leave out it creates heat tunnels can U advice what should I do
The point when lye mix added was glossed over. Can you please elaborate? Thank you kindly. 😃
J P hank you for watching! I usually fast forward through me adding in the the lye solution because it can be loud, lol, and takes a while. All I did here was pour in the lye solution and blend to a light trace 😊hope this helps
Here is some helpful info I found.
It’s recommended that your equipment be used only for soap making. Most of it can be picked up inexpensively at yard sales or thrift shops. You’ll need:
a scale to measure ingredients
a stainless steel or enamel pot
a glass or plastic pitcher for mixing and pouring the lye
plastic containers for holding oil while it’s being weighed - I use 32 oz plastic yogurt containers
2 large plastic or wooden spoons - one for stirring the lye and one for the oils
a spatula
2 thermometers - one for the lye and one for the oil
soap mold - this can be as simple as a shoe box lined with plastic or parchment paper, a plastic tray with sides, or a plastic shoe box
rubber gloves - wear these the entire time
cardboard to fit over the molds
a blanket to insulate the cooling soap
When properly prepared with exact measurements, a chemical reaction occurs called saponification, turning it into soap with glycerin. Then if cured for several weeks, no lye will remain in the final product.

J P would be nice to see what a light trace is. Have never made soap before.

Nice one where can I buy those things you use
What about making a hair soap? The big thing nowadays seems to be hair bars...im thinking you could make a black rice water and coconut milk bar...both are said to be so good for hair
Yes Im so interested in a rice water soap bar
How very lovely! Thank you for sharing!
I will def try this recipe at home this ingredients seems to be very helpful to apply directly to the skin without harm or damage to the skin. Thank you for sharing your idea 💡!
How do you preserve these soaps after you add food products? What is the shelf life of this soap?
The lye preserves it
What did you do to get the dried , did you put it in the freezer or what?
Doesn’t carrot smells decayish in the soap keeping for many days?
Good question 🤔
I think a natural berry n lavendar soap with Goji berries on top!
I love you video.but to tell you the truth.some part I don't see.
Thank you for this amazing video, but could you write down all the ingredient elements requirements? Because i did not recognize some of them. Thanks again
Just lovely and a thought you could use pumpkin instead of carrot and I find citrus Eoils just don't hold but Bergamot & Patchouli a Blend & Lavender is Calming for the skin to I've made aloe vera soap with the pulp Thanks for the Inspiration *Lovely Soap BTW
Mary Kat thank you! Yes citrus essential oils don’t stick. But if you try the orange 10x from Brambleberry it does stick it’s formulated to
This soap making video is the BEST one I've seen so far!!! Thank you ❤
How do I measure the amount of lye and oils to use
The most accurate measurement is to put your container on some good scientific scales, and weigh in the ingredients. But you need to record the weight of the container itself, because most scales have very poor memories.
More skin calming soaps please, this was amazing
My mouth is watering from this soap 🌻🙂
I have used ground cinnamon. If you ground it yourself you can have it more or less coarse. If you blend the cinnamon in it will act as a colorant. I have also used it with a thicker trace and layered it in dry. It was a great exfoliant when done that way. You can make a crust on the bottom and top as well.
Why I’m watching this video knowing full well I won’t ever make it shocks me🤷🏾♀️
F
@@ONESINGLEONLYGOALINSHALLAH you can try it's only going to help you gain new ideas , try Aleo Vera and rose oil add little honey and rice with coconut oil to carry oils or lavender and almond oils with almond or goats milk , ginger and rhubarb or chocolate rose oil with coconut oil... List is endless Apple crumble with walnuts almond oils thanks for sharing your precious knowledge. Tc keep smiling. Kind regards swift hug from England
Freda Asare
Come on Challenge yiurself !
Freda Asare me too
Jana Procella I think I will😊
How about using some avocado and aloe vera
Does adding vegetables effect the shelf life of the finished bar?
I am wondering this too!
I cant imagine it lasts long with adding carrot puree like this
Great video - love the soap idea! I love learning from veteran soapers as I'm am new to soaping. I'm Still just using M&P in making soaps, but hoping to take the next step into "from scratch" cold process in the next year. Thanks for sharing - enjoyable to watch.
Rita Boskovski thank you for watching, good luck on your Cold Process Soap journey!
Wow. I really appreciate the effort and love you've put into making something you enjoy doing, I will def be a customer and support you in what you are doing. Best of luck to you, your business, and your family, and God bless
God bless the people with this kind of patient!
Hello, very good recipe, can you try a scrub soap with natural ingredients. Thanks
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR LOAF CUTTER FROM
LOVE THE INGREDIENTS IN YOUR SOAP
Lol did you forget to take your goggles off,nice soap ,I think for the carrot addition I'd prefer to use carrot powder,or infused carrot oil,I'd have to research the carrot puree, as I worry about adding water to my lovely oils 😊
Musk, Leather, and Lilac all sound nice together :)
love this video and the soap , love how it came out
You lie to us in the video you don't tell us the Name of the clear liquid you added to the oil and the last liquid you hiding yourself behind the scene you mixed together and you added at the minute
Lye is so harsh on the skin, I was wondering how to make bar soap without using lye? I was also wondering if using turmeric in the soap will stain the skin orange.
Palm oil
You unfortunately can't make soap without lye. Even melt and pour soaps contain lye. If you want a soap that isn't as harsh, just use more fat; it may not lather as much, but it will be more gentle on the skin.
You make a superfatted soap, so that you are certain that all of the lye has found fat to react with and there is still some fat left over. So long as the fat you're using is something beneficial for your skin, the unreacted fat in your finished product will be a positive. You definitely do not want unreacted lye in your finished soap for use on your skin! But it can be useful in the laundry.
Wow! You are just so amazing.. Would love to see rice soap too please...
Beautiful soap.. I am sure it must do wonders to skin.. 👌👌👏👏
You can also try Fullers Earth and Neem soap, it is also great natural soap for skin
I loved your video .
My eczema calls for Oatmea andl Shea Butter.
How about making soap with charcoal
GREAT SOAPMAKING!! May I ask where you bought your cutter? Hugz, Tree
if u havent done one yet . i would like to see lemon grass soap
Cherry Blossom, Jasmine, Honeysuckle, ginger, grapefruit
Turmeric is fantastic for eczema; but some people are highly allergic to chamomile. I get hives from my ragweed-chamomile allergy.
What’s the shelf life of this soap, being that you add carrot purée ?
It has a shelf life of about a year.
I don't know much about lye why is it a natural ingredient to use on human skin? Can this be made without lye?
Lisa Surles great question! Lye, water and oil are the base ingredients in any soap that lathers. It cannot be made without lye. Once the ingredients are mixed together it starts to turn into soap. Within 24 hours most soaps are mild enough to touch but you want to let it cure for 4 to 6 weeks for
The soap to harden and become even more gentle. Lye in its raw form is not a safe ingredient for the skin. I hope this makes sense 😊
Lisa Surles it can be made without lye. Lye is bad for your skin , do not use it. Natural palm oil is an alternative
Malika Saabira but i learn that palm oil is very dangerous..
Cory is correct. The chemical reaction of lye mixed in water, milks or other fluids then combined with fats or oils or a combination of those creates soap. After complete mixing and saponification the lye is no longer present as a destructive chemical, it is soap.
If you have it without lye than you don’t have soap, the people that tell you that you don’t need lye to make soap are people who don’t know what they are talking about thus they should not be making ANYTHING!!!!!
Not sure if you do already or not, but would love to see avocado used (if that's something used in soap). Video was fun to watch!
Jennifer Dalida thank you! Avocado is an amazing additive wonderful for dry skin!
Jennifer Dalida soaping 101 has a soap instructional with aacado and cucumber I made it and really love it.
Is lye what harden soap? Curious that gloves and protective eye wear is needed to protect skin from lye but it’s used in soap? Can soap be made without lye? 🤷♀️
Sueqethea Jones all real soap is made with lye. During the saponification process(chemical joining of lye and oil/fat molecules to create soap and natural glycerin) all the lye is used up as oil turns to soap. So when the soap is done curing there is no lye left. If there is lye left something was done wrong in the mixing process or you used too much. Typically if you don’t use lye none of your ingredients will bind together and it’s just a gloopy mess
Megan M wow! Thank you 😊. I am going to try to make my own natural soaps. As I get older my body changes and reacts to soaps in the store differently.
Ohooooo wooooow watch this but could u please be having a video for first timers ,equipment used ,the oil mentioned in the process cos the mixer machine has been making noise help me
Did you mention that soap making equipment should never be used for preparing food?
How'sIt Going? Does that apply to the person making the soap too they should only be making soap and not cooking it
3:30 i just go ahead and pour the lye in ( is this what you said?)
No! Don’t just add lye all by itself. It needs to be added to a liquid, first. She should have answered you right away! It’s dangerous to add plain lye to anything without knowing exactly what you are doing. This is two years late. Hopefully, you didn’t go ahead without doing your own investigation into how to make soap. By the way, there are millions of recipes for soaps on YT.
will the turmeric stain my skin? i know when i cook with turmeric it stains my fingers
Sharon Hodges hi! If you use too much it will. I used about 2 tablespoons per five pounds of soap and I never get stained
Sharon Hodges no it won't
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany thank you ma please how long can it stay in the mold, is there any preservative, can you use any other fruit .
I would like to make a carrot and ginger soap. I'm not sure how to add the ginger (as a puree or infused in the oil). I'd love to see you use ginger in a recipe to help me decide. Thanks for your videos; they are such a great help.
Very beautiful soap!!
