You knocked it out the park again with this beautiful soap, I love the music you put in your videos to, i reply your videos over and over again, please never stop making soap. 🙏🧼💖
I made a similar soap a few weeks ago instead with goats milk and Lavender Tonka Bean Essential Oil...The indigo and rose clay made an awesome pretty soft purple color. Beautiful.
You should try making a baby/kid inspired line of soaps too, lord knows our babies could use some more natural soaps! Ooooh like a soft oatmeal and aloe, or oatmeal vitamin e and coconut with little to no fragrance! I would spend way too much and buy everything haha Love your videos!!
Hi Ophelia. Your soaps are always wonderful. I haven't tried making soap with coconut milk yet. Does coconut milk heat the soap paste? Because this is my fear.
Does using coconut milk powder instead of liquid milk make any difference to the finished soap?, and the indigo gave a fabulous colour, I'll try that on my next batch!
Hello, I am a beginner in soap making and I made it twice and failed. Perhaps the amount of hydroxide solution is not suitable for the proportion of oils. After making it, I notice that the oils started separating. I want to know the appropriate amount of solution for oils (in liters) knowing that I do not know how to use the soap calculator and it is very tiring. Please reply, thank you 💌
Soap making is very technical. There isn’t a set amount. You have to learn how to use a soap calculator. It will tell you how much sodium hydroxide, water and oils to use. You can watch TH-cam tutorials on how to use it. I use this one soapcalc.net/calc/soapcalcWP.asp
I have a question, how much ventilation do you have while making soap inside? I want to start but my brother& dad who are science geeks are concerned about the lye.
I actually don’t have any ventilation. You can wear a mask or mix it outside because of the fumes but honestly as long as your face is not directly over the container when mixing you’ll be fine :) The fumes only last a minute or so.
I had a question about the lavender buds. I belong to a soap group on fb and some of the admin have said not to use them because they will mold. I love lavender. Is there something you do to keep that from happening on your soaps?
Gorgeous swirls and love the idea of oatmeal and coconut milk powder... Makes it sooper luxurious ❤️... But the color would it change to the purple you showed after curing...?
First, let me commend you on your color choice for this soap. I had no idea that indigo and rose clay made lavender - amazing. Second, the music in your videos is likewise amazing. I replay your videos just to hear it. Lastly, you have amazing botanicals in your shop and the prices are so reasonable I’m ‘that’ close to going back to soap making.
Yeah use the colloidal oatmeal from Aveeno or some similar brand. Don't use the oatmeal flakes in the soap they hurt or scratch you when your lathering. You can add oatmeal flakes on top for an aesthetic look but ,but I definitely agree with using the Aveeno powder for eczema or itch calming.
Is there a specific type of oatmeal that has to be used in soapmaking? I noticed the Aveeno brand name, so I was wondering if it had to be oatmeal that specifies facial and body usage.
That color morph is seriously crazy-cool!! LOVED this one!!
These are so relaxing looking
I always love watching your youtube videos..you're one of my favorites.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you 🥰

Beautiful, Love that you use natural colors.
Those colors turned out beautiful
What a pretty soap, thank you for sharing.

Lovely video as always!
Are most of your recipes the same oil base? I really love your videos😊
Oatmeal is so soothing in soaps😇
That purple is stunning! 💜
Usually indigo has a greenish hue for me. Turned out gorgeous!!
I get mine from Anne George’s. It’s the best indigo :)
Lots of lovely ingredients in this one! Beautiful
It turned out gorgeous! 😍
Love how this turned out, and use of natural colours
I love how your colours turned out! Gorgeous. And I love lavender essential oil. Nothing compares to that! 🧼❤️👍🏼
That color change was amazing! Beautiful bars!
Love to colours and pattern! This turned out so beautiful 😍💜
Those are lovely! I bet they smell really good 🤗

First let me say that I love the new apron.
Second, this soap is gorgeous, as always
Hi Ophelia. Your soaps are always wonderful. I haven't tried making soap with coconut milk yet. Does coconut milk heat the soap paste? Because this is my fear.
Yes it can heat it up. Just don’t use too much. I like to use about 3% of my oil weight.
@@OpheliasSoapery Thanks a lot. 🍀
Gorgeous 😍
Your indigo actually does look blue. I gave up on it because it was always grey. It's great to see your product line expanding for your business.
Best indigo is from Anne George’s :)
Does using coconut milk powder instead of liquid milk make any difference to the finished soap?, and the indigo gave a fabulous colour, I'll try that on my next batch!
I didn’t notice any difference except maybe the batter doesn’t heat up as much using the powder.
Wow, that's a pretty color! I have Indigo powder, but I don't have any pink clay, I wonder if a light color pink would work? Very nice I love it! ❤
Give it a try on a small batch :)
Beautiful!
Le pusiste la lejía caliente a las mantecas?
Sodium Hydroxide :)
I should have ordered one of these too. They're gorgeous. So awesome that color change. :D I LOVE lavender too :D

I have a question, how much ventilation do you have while making soap inside? I want to start but my brother& dad who are science geeks are concerned about the lye.
I've researched a lot& know a lot about lye& soap making safety but I wanted a little more advise.
I actually don’t have any ventilation. You can wear a mask or mix it outside because of the fumes but honestly as long as your face is not directly over the container when mixing you’ll be fine :)
The fumes only last a minute or so.

I’ve never had that problem. I do not spray with alcohol. Maybe that’s why 🤔
@@OpheliasSoapery ok I will do that. Thank you

Do U teach classes, or have a Patreon with recipes?

Wow, that is lot of oats.... How big of a batch do you make????
This was a 10 pound batch :)
Well, that would explain it.... I only do 3 lb batches
Yes. My normal batch sizes are 25 pounds. It was nice doing a small one! 💪🏻😂
Soaping goals!!!!
Is there ever a recipe that you would not use the heat transfer method?
I’ve never used it on a super high % hard oil soap. But as long as the chunks are in small pieces. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work :)
@@OpheliasSoapery Thank you!

You would want to use colloidal oatmeal :)
