Thanks, Marie! You are awesome. Anyway, sometimes I feel that we vibrate in the same frequencies, sooo often you come with a recipe in the time I need it. 😁
Love the cornstarch idea, I will have to give it a try. I make all kinds of soaps but because I have psoriasis I personally use syndet bars to wash my body and my skin loves it!
Perhaps with a scaled up amount of dough, it might be possible to flatten it out a bit and cut it with a scone cutter into thick circles, just like scones
Thanks Marie! Love these clay & powder products 🙏🙏.. Wondering if the inclusion of Natrasorb bath, tapioca starch or cosmetic rice powder could be used in place of the cornflower? I can't seem to find many of your formulations you've written or any info in your encyclopaedia with those mentioned ingredients along with HONEY POWDER as an alternative the liquid form? There's a zillion ingredients to work with I realise but just wondering if you're opposed to those powder ingredients as they are all beautiful in d.i.y products? Would also love 🤞🤞 you to formulate more body powder recipes as well one-day when you get bored 🥴🥴. Love & appreciate your work & all your help!
French clays or activated charcoal instead of cornstarch? I've been binge watching your videos and I now have a long list of ingredients that I feel like I really need in my life now, even if they are like tongue twisters to pronounce. 😅
I Love your all of your formulas.... but you did say in one of your videos that you have been posting a lot of cleansing products... I really enjoy your creams , leave in conditioners and moisturizers....😁
Instead of SCI, can I use sodium cocoyl glutamate? I'm not sure if you're familiar with it but it's a powdered surfactant that's made from amino acids. If I can use it, how much would you recommend?
I just discovered your channel and I already suscribed and activated the notifications, you are so sweet! I just want to ask if I don't have caprylyl glucoside, could I change for coco glucoside?
I'm so happy that in my bingeing of your channel I came across this syndent bar. Please forgive yet another "can I swap [...]?" question, I read the blog post & all the comments to make sure I wasn't being too redundant: Can I swap a liquid watery non-ionic surfactant-y thing for a liquid fatty solubilize-y thing? I do not plan on purchasing C/C glucoside, but I am going to get Cromollient SCE for another formula. I understand that the lather will take a hit & that the overall feel will be different (I pray in a good way), but is there a practical reason why this might not be a good idea?
Beyond any surfactant swap differences, you might also notice the dough has a slightly different consistency, so you may need to adjust the wet/dry balance :) Happy making!
Another great DIY! I actually have all of these ingredients and I’m not satisfied with my current face wash (I made powdered cleansing grains with SCI, kaolin clay, colloidal oatmeal, rose powder and various other botanicals but it’s too drying) so I’ll try this before giving up on SCI on my face altogether (I’m hoping the high % of cornstarch will soften its effects). Qstn for you, Marie (or any of my fellow home formulators who can answer this): Would it be feasible to mix the liquid ingredients first and then add the powdered one by one to avoid so much dust flying into the air? I have a lung disease and I’m still awaiting my proper dust mask to arrive from Lee Valley Hardware (everything ventilator related is backordered for 6 mons+ due to COVID); I’ve doubled up on those thick painter’s masks but I still get SCI in my lungs when I work with it. I will try making this outside on a non-windy day which may help but I’m wondering if switching the order of mixing will solve the issue? I imagine the powders are mixed first to ensure they’re evenly distributed but I could just kneed longer by hand (but maybe the mixture is so thick and sticky that it’s too hard to distribute the powders if I swap the order...).
You can definitely try it! In the past I have found it is easier to do it this way when it comes to getting all the dry things incorporated... perhaps try all the wet stuff + the Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI), and then adding all of that to the rest of the powders? Could be a good compromise. Let me know how it goes ❤️
Hello Marie, always enjoy your videos. When making a larger batch...let’s say 3x, should just increase the ingredients by 3? Always how many days till drying is completed?

Hello Marie, I love watching your videos and trust too.i want to ask what kind of soapbase is good for non sweating soaps for sending to another cities n it takes 3 days n how to pack them. Please make a video on this. 😊
Hello. I did it the same way. It made my face very dry. It foamed beautifully. The consistency is nice. The only downside is that it dries out my face a lot. What can be done differently
Your skin might prefer something more like the formulation I shared today; bars are a lot more concentrated due to their solid nature. P.S. There's no need to leave the same comment in 3 different places-I am going to delete your duplicate comments :)
Hello, my skin got used to it as I washed it. No problem. The only problem is I used too much of this product. It dries and cracks within 2 days. Deep cracks formed. The formula is the same. I didn't change it. Where is my mistake?Hello, my skin got used to it as I washed it. No problem. The only problem is I used too much of this product. It dries and cracks within 2 days.

Hi, I love you blog and videos! I am trying to find caprylyl glucoside and can't find it anywhere, is there another name for it? Or can you tell me where to buy? Or even a substitute? Thank you
Hi Pam! The ingredient is actually called Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, not "caprylyl glucoside", so that might be the problem. Also, it sounds like you have not read the blog post-PLEASE always do that, I always link to all the ingredients so they are easy to find and purchase + I always list substitution info!
Hello Marie is cocoamido propyl betaine a toxic ingredient? Bcs I've heard that this is a harmful chemical which is used in floor cleaners I'm confused rn whether to use it in my formulations or not
@@lalalolo4411 Decrease the hardening ingredients maybe? I make my shampoo bars a lot softer than the original formulation. They'd make perfect miniatures. I just never thought of making individual use bars before.

I don't think I'd want to use corn starch to wash with, that would clog my pores. 🤷♀️ I enjoy watching and appreciate your thoughts and examples though, thank you for sharing!
How would cornstarch "clog your pores” particularly when it's mixed with a surfactant? The cornstarch simply helps to hold things together, and it is then washed away by the surfactant. The particles are WAY too big to be absorbed by pores. Kaolin clay has a similar particle size and is used frequently in soap, and I don't know of any issues with ”clogged pores" for the same reason, the soap/surfactant washes the clay/starch away. I get it if a clay bar isn't your thing, but to say that cornstarch would "clog your pores" doesn't sound correct to me.
Always a pleasure and honour to contribute and be a part of your wonderful journey 🥰
I love the apron and new style of your videos!

I read that face wash should have total ASM 10% but in facial cleansing bars ASM will be high so so you feel it's fine

Could I reduce some of the kaolin clay for activated charcoal?
You could, but that will drastically increase the mess factor on use :)
Thanks, I am going to play around to get the right ratio.

She a few solid shampoo bar formulations. Just mix together as usual, then put in smaller molds.
@@jennyinthewoods7887 no. They are not like solid bars bcuz they have to crushed when in use. So we don't want them to be too solid
