YES! I was really struggling to get excited about the liquid soap making - I think that is why I love this ebook so much, it makes me actually want to make it 😂
Hi, thank you for all your effort and time invested in your videos. I have been trying to find information about how to color/tint my castile soap but there is nothing on Google or YT. What's safe (estable) to use to give castile soap a color? Dye, pigment, liquid colors, clays?? I feel lost honestly 😅🙏
Hello!!! So - no clays LOL they would not mix and settle in no time flat - micas could work in maybe very small amounts but I would not use them, they will settle to the bottom I think. Safest (as far as reliable and giving no trouble - not skin safest) would be your Dyes or Liquid colors (usually those are micas mixed with glycerin but they mix better and don't settle, at least I don't think they do. I have used them before) I like dyes the best. A very little goes a long way and they are completely water soluble so they mix in great with liquid soaps Hope that helped!!! 🤗
Hi Andree, Thanks for such a great question! SL (along with glycerin) speed up the process of the soapmaking and also make a softer paste for easier diluting.
I create all of my labels in Canva. I then either print them on full size sticker paper and cut them by hand or I print them on Online Labels sheets of pre cut labels. I do have a couple of videos on my channel that shows some of this process!
sorry for the delay! I wanted to check and make sure - it does not. Most makers now agree that any lye based product is not ideal for hair though. The pH is really high for most hair types.
Just curious why the tea tree and charcoal soap didn’t make the cut? I’m reading the book now ( it took me a year to pick it up again because it seemed so overwhelming at first)
I love the tea tree and charcoal soap! I just made it before I started my channel. I think I may be making that again after the busy holiday season. I agree, it is very overwhelming - I have read it so many times LOL. But slowly it started making more sense and "sticking". Best of luck!!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique I agree! I keep trying back then but this time it’s actually making some level of sense! Lol I think it’s because I’m going into it knowing that there’s a lot to learn and it’s nothing like cp soap making!
Hi again! I used a dye in this one. I haven't used micas in liquid soap before so I'm not sure how they work. I normally never color my liquid soaps but I felt this one was screaming to be green - maybe not as green as I made it though LOL
How to preserve hot process liquid soap ?by both chemical and natural way.(for tropical country's like India) )if chemical means how much grm I need to take for *100grm of shampoo base + Required quantity of water to dilute*? Types of preservative,and their quantity . ) if natural preservatives means their quantity used for *100grm of shampoo base + Required quantity of water to dilute*. Types of natural preservative and their quantity. Pls mam
Hello! I don't use "natural" preservatives so can't speak to that. As far as chemical preservatives, I would say there are just so many out there...I would not know where to begin to help you find one in your location, for your tropical environment. I will say it is very important to choose one that is compatible with your soap. Find a preservative that has an effective range for that. Sorry I am not more help with that!
Tammy, you are so funny. Sometime in April, I will be making my 1st CP soap on YT, I know scandalous😂😂. I would be honored if you could let me know how I did. I am doing 1 color just to get my feet wet
I can't remember what I used in this soap but I usually use liquid germall plus. It is really hard to find a preservative that works in the high pH environment of liquid soap, germall plus isn't the greatest, but studies show it does work some with the higher pH I bought a different preservative thinking that it was better for soaps, and then realized afterwards that it actually wasn't better at all. That is when I went back to germall plus
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique okay thanks Tammy! I watched the video where you said you had found a different one. Couldnt remember which video it was. I just curious how it turned out. Thanks for sharing! I found one on making cosmetics website said ph up to 10. It was "A somthing Banana". But their website went wonky and wouldn't work or load. Tried on 2 different computers and my phone and kept getting the same error message.
@@laurathompson3040 I found that preservative - WOW that is a pricy one - 30 + s&h for 8 oz. I figure that would take my cost up to about $5 per bottle. (that is using it at the lowest usage rate - 2-4 % is also really high) Mine are already kind of high at 3 or so each. Thanks for finding that for me -I will have to think about it though. At this time I just can't justify the cost.
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique HI Tammy 👋, have you heard of Suttocide A preservative? It's broad spectrum ,water soluable and works up to ph 12! The usage rate is very small as well.Love your videos, your very talented 👏 👌 😀 👍
I'm laughing so hard that you put the deeply colored dye base in the jug. It looks like grape juice! My kids would kill me for doing that! But this was a wonderful video. I loved it!
HI Illanna, thank you for that tip! It is more space issues than money - and that fact that I really don't use crockpots very often (just a few times a year) I just don't see the benefit of having 2. Thanks for watching and commenting!!🤗
Rub some of the rosemary and mint oil on your scalp and hair a few hours before you wash. Not too much though. Why the addition of the liquid soap to oils. I never seen that before. I do live under a rock.
Sometimes having a business includes activities that are not fun. Does the LS make you money for your business ? Do you make a profit ? So have fun with the scent and colour. Sick of hearing lucky people whining really.
Really!? I love making wax melts, but I can see what you mean...I think that is why I have to add colors. I think if I did only the white wax melts (which I LOVE the look of) I think I would get way too bored with them. 😆
I was so excited to make them. I thought it would be fun and easy. But when I made them I just felt blah about it...lol. Literally melt it and pour it with some color and scent...hahaha..And them I was thinking about how much candles cost in the store and I was really mad about it....hahaha...I will always make my own now, but not to sell.
Hey Sabrina, This is a little late of a response, haha - I wish I could make and sell candles but with insurance and testing costs, I think I would lose too much money. I don't see how there is any money in them at all. Not sure how they make them so cheap in the stores, it is maddening. I make them for myself and family too. But I'm not very good at it. I made sand candles once that was really fun - but messy lol (where you take a wine bottle to make a hole in a box of sand and then pour your wax in) those were also not very good but I like the rustic look of them.
Thanks for sharing your videos 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You are a kamikaze girl . You should relax a bit, breathe, breathe ang then start soaping 🤭🤭. Greetings from Barcelona, Spain 🌅🌅
Hello to Barcelona, Spain!! You sound just like my husband haha - he is always telling me to slow down and think about things before I do them - I tend to ramrod my way through life 😂
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I am not your husband, but if he say this to you, he loves you very well !!. You remember me 10 years ago. Always at 150% of my possibilities, since I fall very ill. Body is the "car" that allows us to life live on earth, if you don't take care of it, he won't help you much. Body aaaaaaalways win my dear, believe me 👌🏼. Now I sound like your mother 🤭🤭🤭🤭. Big hugs and Merry Christmas wishes 💫🎄✨💜💜
100% agree with you,CP soap is so much exciting to make!
YES! I was really struggling to get excited about the liquid soap making - I think that is why I love this ebook so much, it makes me actually want to make it 😂
You seriously just bring me smiles, joy, and so many wonderful ideas! Always stay true to you 🥰 #Blessed
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you! 💖

Love that you also show your mistakes!
Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm apparently not afraid to look the fool on here LOL
id love it without dye. thanks for video. Interesting to see with additional ingredients, I just make it with KOH and oils and EO, 20% salt solution.
Thanks for sharing! That sounds nice and easy LOL
I agrée thé book is amazing!
thanks, dear for all the information, i love shower gels, and i can't find any organic shower gel, with out the chemicals
you are so welcome Nanate! Thanks for watching!🤗
I am curious @sodium lactate in a liquid soap: what is its purpose exactly since it is normally used to harden CP soap?
Hi Andree, Thanks for such a great question! SL (along with glycerin) speed up the process of the soapmaking and also make a softer paste for easier diluting.
But did you add glycerine to SL here? Thanks for the great tutorial ❤
You can always put it in a foaming bottle where you can water it down? I do that with my regular liquid hand soap and it works
yes Dina, that is certainly one option - and one I have considered. but I just don't want to have ANOTHER bottle to buy and store LOL 😂🤓
Loving the St. Patty's Day blend! 🍀😉
Oh my gosh~ I never even put that together!!😆
How do you make your labels?
I create all of my labels in Canva. I then either print them on full size sticker paper and cut them by hand or I print them on Online Labels sheets of pre cut labels. I do have a couple of videos on my channel that shows some of this process!
Love your videos Tammy they always cheer me up God bless
Thank you so much Jo! I appreciate your saying so! ♥
What was the reason for adding soap into the oils?
Hi! The soap makes the liquid soap saponify faster - it's not necessary but in a 30 min process it sure helps! Thanks for watching!
does the book include any shampoo or shampoo like recipes?
sorry for the delay! I wanted to check and make sure - it does not. Most makers now agree that any lye based product is not ideal for hair though. The pH is really high for most hair types.

I wanna make liquid soap but I’m intimidated by it also. Don’t feel bad I haven’t even attempted it. But maybe I will can u link the book?
it's in the description - good luck! I found it very helpful as I too was totally intimidated by it.🤗
I always say if you’re willing to watch a video all the way through then you should give it a thumbs up never thumbs down💜
Thank you so much Melinda! I appreciate your saying so! ♥😃

Does liquid soap have to cure for 6 weeks like bar soap?
Hi Ashley! No, it does not, but it does better with a 2 week settling time.
What is the name of the book
The Link is in the description - The Ultimate Guide to Liquid Soap - new Liquid Soap video coming out this month! 🤗

I'm not sure if you not wanting to purchase a smaller crock pot is space or money issues, but if it is money, maybe try thrift stores?
