Love the drums. Love the history. Love the soap pallete. Took me to the motherland. I like the handmade stamp best. Beautiful Sis! I cant wait to make my first batch of soap.
@@NataciasSudznScents You are welcome. I will try to work with natural scents. I am a budding herbalist so trying to keep my bars as natural as possible. Working on logo design and concept with Graphic designer. Excited to go from internal to external products.🥰
@@remnantfewministriesminist495 Yaaas! Okay! I love it! Soap making works as an herbalist because you would know what combinations would work well together! I have used Lavender Essential Oil and Teatree oil in 2 of the African Black soap bars versions and its refreshing. Essential Oils have a tendency to fade as the soap cures but they still offer benefits to the soap. Good luck with your venture! I wish you nothing but positive vibes and prosperity! Soap making has become a great way to express creativity and release stress for me. Let me know how it goes. If I can help or point you in the right direction I will. Thanks for viewing my video :)
@@NataciasSudznScents I was hoping I could combine the two to make a beneficial product. Those combinations sound great! Lavender and mint offers wonderful aromatherapy as well.Thank you for the well wishes and extension of love. Trying to get everything together and I can extend the same after I experiment and test a few formulas. I pray they are as beautiful as your creations!🥰
I love your name. African black soap kept my skin clear whilst wearing these masks at work for the past 2 years. I was literally breaking out like a teenager at age 55. Wtf. Thank god it’s over.
Hi Tracy! Thank you so much. I love my name also...lol! Yaaas! It sounds like you had mask acne...well that's what I call it anyway. I am so happy the soap helped. I have my daughter using the soap a couple times a week for her acne but she's a teenager. But she's honest and she says it's definitely working. I am so happy the soap worked for you because it is can be difficult to find products to work well for your skin. Thank you for watching! I appreciate it so much!
Hi...I have additional videos with the measurements that should help you out. This one I used African Black Soap as an additive into the cold process soap. But I have others with exact measurement.
I made the African molds out of silicone. And the dividers I got from Amazon which are better than the ones in the video. I kind of broke the pieces that the dividers slide in. I am thinking about making the dividers on my own. Home Depot sells the plastic pieces.
Well done 👏🏽 these soaps turned out so beautiful. I thought to ask, you added the black soap as an additive yes? If no, how did you know the amount of lye to use?
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! :) Yes, I added it as an additive. I used the soap calculator (soapcalc.net) for 45 ounces of soap and added the black soap as an additive. The black soap does not need to be saponified because it is already saponified and is a functioning soap on its own. Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks so much Yodie! I appreciate your feedback! I am going to do a video with more detail coming soon. Are you a soaper? I ask because I am not certain if I should do a basic video or go into detail using the recipe calculator. Thanks again
@@NataciasSudznScents thanks so much for replying. I am not a soaper. I leave in Ghana where the black soap is originally from so I would love to try my hands on it. Lately, I want to do things for my family so I've started with doing body butter for my kids and adding black soap will be good. I started using the raw black soap for my kids after one of them got infected with molluscum contagiosum and it vanished after 1 month. It usually takes 6 months to 2 years to disappear and the black soap really helped so prioviding the measurements will help me to do it for them. Thanks a lot in advance.
@@yodie5918 WOW! That is really incredible! Using African black soap "as is" will definitely be better than mixing it however, as you know it crumbles so that is why I wanted to use it as an additive in the soap. I really respect the process in making it. I have body butters also and it has changed how we moisturize our skin in my family. I definitely use a great amount of shea butter among other things. But I will definitely work on a measurements video and keep it basic so you can find ways to substitute local ingredients for the ones I use.I am so happy the soap worked for your kids! I know that here the African Black Soap is becoming popular again in addition to African liquid black soap (shower gel). I haven't researched that one yet. I appreciate your feedback and support. By the way, if you know of any vendors in Ghana that I can purchase shea butter and raw African Black Soap directly from let me know if you don't mind. I have some vendors that get their resources from Ghana here in New York, and I support them but it would be interesting to see how I can purchase direct from Ghana and support businesses there also. Thanks again.
Hey Susan! I am actually going to do an updated version of this within the week. I will make sure to add the recipe for it. But I think one of my other African black soap videos have the recipe. But I will release one soon with the recipe. Thanks so much for watching!
I have used Sodium Lactate which you probably already know is like a liquid salt or sodium salt to harden the loaf so it can un mold better in lye solution. Any sugar adds bubbles. Honey also works good for lather but it speeds up trace and tends to make the batter get hot pretty quick.
The African herbal soap are of different varieties, there are the powder form, liquid form, dark black, white, brown, green, they are all gotten from plantain tree but made In different ways for different purposes
@@NataciasSudznScents the green is for pimple, the white is to lighten skin texture, there’s red, Yoruba woman( in Nigeria) knows a lot about the soap, I’m from Nigeria but not Yoruba so I don’t know about the red, but I do know it’s for various doin problems
Good Day. I am in the U.S. I will be listing these soaps on my website at www.NataciasSudznScents.com in about a week. Depending where you are determines when I can send them to. They still need about 2 more weeks to cure. But email me and I can set the amount aside for you and make arrangements. Thank you for watching and support! It's truly appreciated.
Because the African Black soap is an additive in the cold process soap. I am using African Black Soap as an additive like aloe vera or pumpkin powder. I don't need lye to saponify the African Black Soap but it is needed for the cold process soap that I am adding to it....the other oils and butters added to the recipe.
@@NataciasSudznScents your welcome I'm a big fan of this soap it's sad that people are not realizing they are using the fake soap that's pure black black but I do want try the real one but I'm having second thoughts about it I'll give myself time to try the real soap
@@papagato5148 I understand. Black soaps are very good but it's not something you should use everyday unless you have a good moisturizer. It can dry out your skin. But because the soap is made with all natural ingredients it's a good alternative to regular soaps that contain harsher detergent ingredients. If you buy some, try it out maybe once a week and gradually increase it to see how your skin reacts; or any natural soap for that matter. I definitely use black soap weekly, but I'm from New York (Bronx/Queens) so it was well known back in the days to use black soap to naturally clear up your skin and acne issues. Since making soap I have not purchased any store soap in years. My kids, mom and husband use the natural soaps I make. No skin complaints...a lot of skin ailment improvements though. I was hesitant with natural soaps in the past so I would use it on certain areas only to see how my skin reacted. It took awhile before I would use it on y face but eventually I did.
@@NataciasSudznScents well that's very nice of you I've been to New York City for Thanksgiving in 2014 i have been using natural soap tell you this there are some people say they don't like it there's some companies are making it a profit out of it and i didn't realize that the soap that are not handmade with whatever is inside the soap I'll give you a example I was doing research about what is natural soap and what is synthetic detergent soap there are not safe on skin I've been trying a soap for men I just called Duke Cannon it's a big soap a triple milled soap and it is made in the united states I like it but it's really brick hard I don't know if you tried snake oil soap bar is from Mexico it is not made for people have acne problem I tried it was so gentle on my skin
@@papagato5148 Oh Ok. No I have not tried snake oil soap. But yes, some naturals are hard. I mean african black soap is a very hard soap, and it's a bit crumbly. Anything mass produced for profit without consideration for quality is will end up suffering for lack of quality...that can be anything, we see that with food all the time. That's why some mom and pop stores and restaurants are still preferred (food just taste better to me...lol). Over the years I just feel that our skin and I guess general health reacts better to products that have as little chemicals as possible and as much natural ingredients as possible. You can understand how a brick hard soap can be hard to market and sell to consumers. They think it will make their skin as hard as the soap. But my willingness to use and make natural soaps I feel was definitely culturally related. You are handed something that look strange, smell strange, or even taste strange by an elder but somehow it solves your issue or ailment can make you understand things that benefit us don't always come in pretty packages. I'm going to look up this snake oil soap bar. Is that naturally made? You know what ingredients are in it?
Thanks for your input. This wasn't an instruction video; more of a show and educate on the history of the ingredient type of video. However, I will definitely make sure to make a more instructional one for those looking to actually make the soap. Thanks so much for your input. I appreciate it!
