Today we are breaking down the chemistry of lotion and making a hand cream formulated specifically for men. Why should it be different? Well, it really shouldn't be, but while men are starting to take better care of their skin, they are VERY particular about how a hand cream feels. They like it to be moisturizing but not greasy, not overly scented, and bonus points if it helps heal all of the nicks and scrapes they always seem to have on their hands. Basically, if they can snap their fingers after applying the lotion, they're happy.
These hand creams will be part of the new men's grooming kits modeled after the Rat Pack members - all will be released at the end of the series!

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

Thank you so much for all your hard work showing us the ins and outs of making so many awesome products.. If you don't mind me asking where did you get these really nice gray squeeze tubes ?
Watching this has made me want to make hand lotion for my husband, now. Thank you for all the great info. In acknowledgment of the messy filling of the lotion bottles, I want to say that I deeply appreciate you showing the messes that happened as a part of your crafting process. I am very vision impaired, which makes all of these kinds of projects quite difficult, but I'm simply not happy unless I'm making things. Ultimately, that means I'm always making huge messes and nothing goes smoothly lol. Seeing you overfill bottles or spill soap batter on the counter, honestly makes me feel like less of a lost cause in my own crafting, which helps motivate me to keep trying and keeps my frustration in check. Seriously, thank you for that.
Great info this video
I know this is an old video... But I was today years old that I learned that you can't put mica in lotion. 😂 But your lotion recipes are awesome! Lotions are a whole ass thing. I know they are awesome... But not my favorite to make. But thank you for the recipes. You are the best!❤
Well there’s a very in depth cheat sheet and recipe guide in the discord server if you’re interested in ever perfecting your lotion game. 😂
Hello, love your videos. But can I ask where you get mallow and lotus extract.
Brambleberry currently has the best stock on extracts that I can find.
@@MrsSoapAndClay I am new to soap making but I searched on brambleberry and bulk apothecary. Am I searching for the wroung thing. I searched lotus extract and mallow extract. Thank you for replying and your videos, I have already learned so much.
In all your videos, its hard for me to write out the recipes. Is the scale unit in Oz or Grams?
Hey! Everything is in ounces.
I cannot afford karanja oil in Canada. Is there a less expensive oil I could replace it with?
Hey! The closest alternative would be neem oil.
@@MrsSoapAndClay thank you!
Hey! Where do you get your optiphen??
Also is there an emulsifying wax you recommend?
All over! 😂 Brambleberry will be fastest to get to you right now though, assuming they have any in stock. I use the NF from lotioncrafter, but have used many others from several other companies over the years and have no complaints with any of them. :)
CAn you use this in your face?
How long does it have sit before using?
Hi! Lotions are firm and ready to go in around 6 hours.
@@MrsSoapAndClay awesome
Hello, when I put in the ounce quantities of each ingredient in WholesaleSuppliesPlus percentage calculator, I get: aloe vera juice (33.79 oz) 95.68% - mango butter (4.13 oz), 1.17% - karanja oil (4.06 oz), 1.15% - avocado oil (3.07 oz), 0.87% - emulsifier (2.05 oz), 0.58%, and stearic acid 1.94 oz), 0.55%.....is this correct?
Hey! Those numbers look really off to me. This batch is roughly 48oz in total, so the percentages are as follows
Aloe - 70%
Mango - 8%
Karanja - 8%
Avocado - 6%
Wax - 4%
Stearic - 4%
Have fun!
@@MrsSoapAndClay thank you!!! 🤗
BAHAHAHA I HATE POURING LOTION
I always end up UNDER filling it because I’m scared it will fill up too fast 😂😂🤪
You should see the mess I made of the beard oils today. Pouring like a toddler. Aaaaalllll over the counter.
Soap & Clay 😬😬
Lol, Speaking of drunken behavior... I no longer drink. Booze scented things don't bother me, because I don't have to choose to use those things. I mean, you're teaching us soooo many awesome options. I have wondered, though, about all this alcohol spritzing. I find hand sanitizer smells to bother me so much more than any social drinking around me. The soaps I have made, I just skipped the spritzing and told people the soda ash was proof of commitment to sobriety. But just for funsies, since I'm just having fun making gifts, does any other thing besides alcohol serve the purpose, chemically, that alcohol serves in soap making (like where it isn't an additive but it is serving a cosmetic function)?
Hey! So since I soap at a pretty high water content, I get soda ash on almost everything if I don’t spritz. Witch hazel also works, but that also contains alcohol, usually. The soaps I make that contain citric acid don’t tend to get soda ash, which makes sense.
The idea behind spritzing the top is thus: sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate (I forget which) is created when lye in your soap hits the air, so the alcohol on the top dries out the top layer before it occurs. To that, though, citric acid consumes lye, so I’m wondering if sprinkling the top with a bit of citric acid before covering the soap for its saponification thing would work. I’ll try it today; my first batch of soaps this morning are a bajillion dish soap blocks, so I will have loaves to test on that cure fast enough to see if it’s a genius soap hack or a terrible idea by the end of the day!
@@MrsSoapAndClay That is so cool, thank you! Dish soaps and other working kinds of soaps are what I gravitate to anyhow.
Hi Mrs Clay I am looking for a company that sells good bottles and jars
Wow, you’re so beautiful.
