I wanted to share some of my cold process shampoo bar experiences with everyone. Where I live there's really hard water, so in order to have the soap rinse cleanly I add extra chelators, citric acid at 3%, sodium phytate at 0.5% and sodium gluconate at 1%. I add them diluted with water after trace. Otherwise, they thicken the batter like crazy. This also works for cleaning soaps too. I live shampoo bars and since I have type 1 hair with scalp issues I'll be giving this a try!
Really love this receipe, I used Neem instead of karanja oil. Its great for my thick, frizzy hair really smooths it out. Thanks Mrs Soap & clay looking forward to more shampoo bars ❤
Hey! I’ve talked about soap nuts a whole bunch over the history of the channel. I think the solid dish soap recipes will have the most information about soap nuts.
I love making shampoo bars i replace the water with rice water- my soap bar has olive oil, elvish butter, coconut and castor oil ( elvish butter is custom made butter i did)
Thank you for sharing your shampoo recipe. I've never tried making shampoo bars, but this is interesting! I wont make the quantity you make, so I'll use an empty, ready-made frosting container. It's cylinder shaped and flexible. Thank you again. I do enjoy your videos!
Hi Mrs Soap and Clay! I have super thin hair, that gets weighed down really easy, but scalp issues too. Could I put some DL-Panthenol into the bar to take out some of the heaviness? Do you think that would work? Thanks as always!
I am trying to formulate a shampoo bar good for psoriasis and wonder if this one would be good. You definitely mention dandruff but not psoriasis. Also, do you think this one is better for thick or thinner hair? 👍 Thank you so much for posting this helpful vid!
Chefman blenders. I have 3 of them but i usually just leave 1 top plugged in and use the bottoms interchangeably. That sounds dirtier than i meant it to be 😂
a question...about soap nuts. Wanting more lather (I'm greedy like that) in my product, I used soap nuts in making your old recipe...when putting the lye into the water infused with soap nuts, it bubbled UUUUPPPPPPPP! I caught it before it boiled over (it had done so once before) I notice when you use yours, it doesn't bubble...is there a trick? Yes, I slowed down and stirred, stirred, stirred to keep it contained, but... what do I need to know about this??? OH, I also made this recipe and my testers LOVE this recipe! And I also made the solid conditioner bar and they loved them, too.
Hey! It could be that the water infusion was too potent with the soap nuts, so it’s bubbling like it would in hot water. I tend to actually put the nuts themselves into the lye water solution after I’ve dissolved the lye and while the water is still hot, so it’s extracting the soap nuts while it’s cooling down.
@@MrsSoapAndClay Thank you for replying... it sounds lots safer that way and possibly more extraction of the soapy goodness, too, that's for sure! I am going to make another of your shampoo recipes and I will give it a go...
Hello, thank you for the video. One question please, would it be possible to change the Karanja oil for Castor oil? Where I live it’s extremely difficult to get, but I have Castor oil at hand. What would you recommend? Thank you for your answer.
Hello! New to soapmaking and I was trying to put this in to soap calc. For #3 the water category, can you guys help me figure out how to enter that area in? Also, how many oz per lbs of fragrance is standard?
Hey! Water is a personal preference in soapmaking - the only amount of water NEEDED is as much water as lye, so 1:1. That will yield a batch that gets thick really fast, though, so I always recommend new soapmakers soap at 2.4x, so the lye amount multiplied by 2.4 to get the water. Scent is based on the IFRA usage amounts, so always double check that. I calculate 5% of oil weight for the fragrance oils I use.
Super love this video 👍🏼❤ been wanting to make cp shampoo bars for so long dunno but read so much negative discouraging opinions about that holds me back. Now definitely will try it. Thank you so much for clarifying this issue. You’re the BEST 😍 upfront no nonsense facts 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 By the way, I can’t get hemp oil. Is it possible to replace hemp with Neem oil? [ie. Coconut 25%, Palm 25%, Karanja 25% & Neem 25%] I read that Karanja oil is kind of similar to Neem oil. Would combined 50% of both oil be too high a percentage? What do you think?
Hair is such a individuall thing. I cant use soap on my hair, they become like straw with dandruff, at the same time they are kind of oily and it itches. My older son washes his hair with aleppo and he has gorgeous hair, with shampoo he get dandruff. And my youngest needs co-wash because his hair is dry, curly and absorbes pure fat like a sponge 😂
Short, sweet, to the recipe point. I even typed it out this time. Don’t get used to it. 😂
Ok 😔

I live shampoo bars and since I have type 1 hair with scalp issues I'll be giving this a try!
Just wondering what "type 1" hair is. I must have missed something.
I can't wait to try this. It is so wonderful to know why each ingredient was chosen.
Thanks for the recipe and explaining why you chose the ingredients.
I like using PVC pip as a soap form as well. It holds the heat really well and releases the soap easily and is reusable.
Really love this receipe, I used Neem instead of karanja oil. Its great for my thick, frizzy hair really smooths it out. Thanks Mrs Soap & clay looking forward to more shampoo bars ❤
‘That person is a dick! “😂😂😂 I love you!
I will definitely try this one, looks so good. Thanks so much
Loved this short and sweet recipe! I was wondering if you talk about soap nuts and how to use them in any of your other videos?
Hey! I’ve talked about soap nuts a whole bunch over the history of the channel. I think the solid dish soap recipes will have the most information about soap nuts.
I really love that you are open to soap shampoo bars dispite all the greenwashing. Whoop whoop.
I love your kidlet, and her adorable hair! She's so smart, and pretty like her mama! I may make these bars tomorrow!!!!
I love making shampoo bars i replace the water with rice water- my soap bar has olive oil, elvish butter, coconut and castor oil ( elvish butter is custom made butter i did)
Love it!
What is elvish butter? 🧝♀️ 🧈?
@@TracyD2 its shea butter, pumpkin seed oil, jojoba oil and hemp seed oil. its custom made for my business.
I got a cordless. Stick blender and I love it!
I LOVE your personality

Good quick and straight to the point video, would there be an=y direct replacement for the Palm Oil if one did not want to use this 👍👍
Thank you for sharing 💕💕

I love the simplicity. Can I substitute neem oil for the karanja?
You bet! I use karanja because it’s not as potent of a smell but it’s basically the same as neem, properties wise.
Does this need to cure? If so, how long?
Oh, I need this shampoo. When will this be on your website. Thanks
Hey! It’s always on the site!
The stick blender rant RIP
It stinks and I hate it.
Am I going to have to try to make some shampoo bars now :p this looks easy and fun to make! Hope you guys have fun at disney!
Chefman blenders. I have 3 of them but i usually just leave 1 top plugged in and use the bottoms interchangeably. That sounds dirtier than i meant it to be 😂
Don't make it weird
My People.
Hello Mrs Soap & Clay. I truly enjoy your personality and the videos, of course.
Is there another oil that could substitute the Karanja oil?thank you
Hey! Neem is a great substitute for karanja, or hemp. Have fun!
I do watching your channel :-) @@MrsSoapAndClay
What on earth are soap nuts??
What soap calculator do you use for your recipes?
Usually soapcalc.
What about the ph?
What is the video you referenced about the PH not really mattering? I’m curious :)
I appreciate the fact that your sharing how and what, but I can’t afford to get into another craft! Where can I buy this product already made?
Hey! These are available and soapandclay.com
Why the shampoo bar i made irritate my scalp?
what is lye concentration in this recipe?
Whatever you’d like it to be. I tend to keep my water at 2.4x the lye because of the amount of clays I put in.
Is there something else apart from Karanja oil as I have been unable to source it here in Australia.
Hey! Neem or hemp work well as substitutes!

Pardon my ignorance but what is soap nuts?
Soap nuts, or aritha, is a berry with naturally occurring saponins which means a bigger bubble! Can be used in nut form or in powder form.

Hi. How do you market this type of shampoo bar? Can you indicate dandruff control on the label? Or it that a medical claim
I would stay away from marketing it as dandruff control for sure!

2:44 I almost choked! 🤣
Was I a dick?
@@MrsSoapAndClay No! 😂 It just surprised me for a second.

Sounds like my house!
You, busy? Say it isn't so! 😁😉
Weird! 🤣
Wow... a recipe where I have all the ingredients. That never happens
Eh hem... I make my shampoo bars pretty sometimes. 😁
You’re extra, though.
@@MrsSoapAndClay yeah. I suppose I am. 😂
