You mentioned in the video you were going to add the link to join that private learning soap Facebook page but it's not here. Would love to learn more!
This is one of the coolest examples of how water percentage affects soap structure. Never would have thought of that. It is a beautiful, elegant design and composition. Thank you for sharing this information in such a carefully documented way and your teaching is beautiful and relaxing.
You are my favorite soap artist/maker. Love how hard you pay attention to details, the cleanliness of your work, and your design taste. Cheers from a chemist in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.
That is such a unique technique with the way you cut your bars. I didn't want to get the lower molds because I don't like the short look, but now I can see myself using one if I cut my loaf like this. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
So nice to see you posting again. Hope you are doing well. I think understanding water content and water discounting is one of the last things I truly understood when it comes to the chemistry of soap making. I love the the oven shots showing the change in the soap as it gels.
I am going to try to post more often. I am well; there is just a lot going on and it's hard to get a chance to edit videos. 💕 The different stages in the oven are fascinating! It is amazing to see in action!
Your Ghost swirl reminds me of the back of a crocodile the top is very beautiful. All your Ghost swirl soaps are so beautiful. I've learned so much by being in your Facebook group from you personally and all the other soaping members.
Terry, Terry, Terry, this is may be the most beautiful soap you made ever! who ever expected to see such textured tops in a ghost 👻 swirl soap, especially when it was so flat before entering the oven! Wow! I was waiting for this video for some time now, and was not disappointed! Well done 👍!
@@emilyfleischmann You'll have to read Auntie Clara's articles. She said the color difference inside fades a bit, but I'm not sure about the textured top.
Hi Terry, I love this soap! The ghost swirl is my favorite 🥰! This is such a cool design and it's cool the way you can get the soap to gel in different spots. Very nice and I can't wait for the next video. I'm thinking about joining your soap club too. Stay safe 💞🙂.
Thanks so much, Janine! 😊 Are you talking about Amy Warden's Soap Challenge Club? It is a great way to learn. I love it; that's why I talk about it so much! 💕
So clean, perfect and professional! I have not idea soaps can be on oven. Thank you. Do you have book of your recipe and techniques? This is satisfying to watch.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks oh you did one about a year ago. I went back and watched it again after viewing your current video. Some of the things I was unsure of back then made sense the second time around (probably just a downfall of being 55! 😅). Hope you can find time to do some more videos! 🙏 Have a great rest of your week!! 🙃
I LOOOOVE the way the top came out! Outstanding! When you made the first cut and split it in two halfs it reminded me of a banana cutted in the same way 🤭
Oh my goodness. I thought the first soap looked great until you showed the other two swirls, they are gorgeous! This tutorial was so cool. I earned a LOT. Do you have any suggestions for those of us whose ovens only go down to 170 F? You did say at the end you probably could have left it out & uncovered but I hate soda ask! Thanks Teri!
Fantastic video. Gonna try that and it's actually great to learn about water percentage, gel and how that affects the soap (especially with the semi translucency).

Thank you! Wonderful technique and very intriguing. I think i had soap separate in the form... when i scraped it it was different, what came out was bit grainy if that describes it. Will have to be very careful in the future.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks it didn’t separate, it always sits a little. But the scrapings were different. I think it is the temperatures, like you say, the butters can’t start to solidify and I think that my shea butter started doing just that. I was just too lazy to remelt everything and cool it down. But your video brought me back to the ground, as to speak. You have a huge influence out there and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Will be making a full tallow soap from wagyu fat and want to make this ghost swirl in it. Am sooo curious how it will behave. Got some fat to experiment with from a farmer that sells the meat...
I am wondering, would you obtain the same effect if you do one normal batch of soap and divide into two parts, and then add water in one of them after trace?
If your normal batch has quite a big water discount, that would probably work. I used 15% "water as a percentage of oil weight" for my low water batch. That is near a one to one ratio of water and lye. The high water batch was 40%, which is a 2.8 to one water to lye ratio. My normal batch is 25%, which is around a 1.8 to one ratio. The normal batch might not be different enough to make much contrast between the two water amounts. If you start with a one to one water to lye ratio, that would probably have enough contrast between the two parts.
For clarification, when you said you would have not even put this soap in the oven, is that because you were hoping for more color definition? Are you thinking the excess heat caused there to be less color contrast between the three layers? All of your ghost swirls turned out great. This is definitely a beautiful technique.
The goal was to only have the high water soap go through gel. I think the low water soap that got dragged into the center went through gel as well, causing less definition between the different batters. I would like to avoid that. You'll have to read Auntie Clara's articles. Her links are in the description.
Hi! I enjoy watching your videos. That includes the soap calc you explained step by step. I love the tool you used here to spoon your butters. Where could I please get one?
This is interesting! I came across your channel due to sharing the same name... And am now subscribed because I know nothing about soap making, but am definitely interested in learning now! Thank you 🙂
I love this stick blender! It well worth the investment. www.amazon.com/Dynamic-MX070-MiniPro-Variable-Detachable/dp/B0047DE0GG/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Dynamic+International+MX070+Mini-Pro+Variable+Speed+Detachable+Mixer+by+Dynamic&qid=1604870749&sr=8-1
This may be a silly question, however, I was wondering what the benefit is of adding Lard to the soap? I've never seen that before, or I could have just not been paying attention. Wouldn't the Lard make the soap "greasy" and not good for your skin/pores? I mean no offense by it, I'm just genuinely curious.
Lard is good because it is high in Palmitic and Stearic Acid, which makes a hard bar without being drying. It also is known to slow trace and give lots of time to work. It's not greasy in the final product.
Tery thank you son much... I'm bilal from middle east (Arabic ) Yemen. My dream is to make a great soap than market it to the world...one day i'll do it... ♥♥♥♥♥ Thank you tery♥
Hi My question to Everyone here, Can we Sundry Cold Prossesed Soaps? Please help what are the possibilities we may encounter if sun-dried Cold processed soaps ?
Beautiful soap. Simple and classy . You explanation is very good too. Love your videos. Your website at chk out is asking if I have a coupon code . Is there one available ? If so where do I find it please ?
I made turmeric soap and it came out so sticky. Its been over 24 hrs and I still cannot unmold. I even messed up the soap trying to force it out.. Any idea why?
Thanks for sharing your technique! Would you recommend spraying alcohol to prevent soda ash (whether placed in oven or just in the counter) because of the high water content in the middle batter?
I don't used alcohol, but maybe I would if I don't cover the soap and use a high water amount. I always cover the soap except in rare situations like this. I don't get soda ash when I use the water discount that I mentioned pared with covering my soap. If it is humid, I keep it covered for another day.
Gorgeous soaps. I was too busy and waited too late for this challenge. Only gave myself time for one batch at last min and it has too much crumbling going on for some reason so I didn't enter it. I wish I was able to make such astute observations about cause and effect in soap making like you do. Also how do you have an oven that can go down to 145 degrees?! Are you in the US? So frustrating that our ovens only go down to 170F.
Oh, too bad, you will get there. I still am guessing a lot of the time. I am in the US. My oven has a "keep warm" setting and I can set it as low as 145F.
OMG! I loved watching your video, but I cannot do that bad. You lost me.! If I ever try this recipe, I will have to just do exactly what you say because there’s no way I can do this math. Those bars are so beautiful!!
Since you have your silicone mold sitting in a wooden mold, aren't you worried about the wood and the heat? Because if not, I'd love to see this work for me to get it to gel better.
No, I'm not. The oven is at such a low temperature for this design, and usually, for other designs, I only preheat the oven and then turn it Off when I put the soap in. Then, I leave the light on to maintain the warmth.
This desgin it’s so beautiful! But I don’t understand the calculations but can I put it this way ? Lye 100% water 100% 1st mixture I put 40%lye with 60%water 2nd mixture I put 60% lye with 40%water
No, you cannot use less water than the lye weight. If you are splitting the batter evenly as I did, the lye amount will be the same for each part because the oils are the same. (Remember, the lye calculation is based only on the oils/butters and not the water/liquid amount.) I used 15%, 40%, and 40% "Water as a Percentage of Oil Weight." So if a third of my oil weight is 11.5 oz, and I use 15%, 40%, 15%, respectively, for the batch I made, the water would be 1.72 oz, 4.6 oz, and 1.72 oz. (The lye would be whatever is calculates to be from the 11.5 oz of oils.)
@@TreeMarieSoapworks Do you have a video explaining the three different ways to calculate the water content (water as percentage of oil, lye concentration (the one I am familiar with), and water and lye) ration in your recipe?
Hey there, Your portrayal is excellent. The soap is beautiful. Im a bit slow on the math you gave for the lye. I want to be sure i understand correctly. I tend to use soapcalc.com Preset is 38% water concentration. which is 3:1 If im not mistaken. Are you saying to use 1:1 on the first two batter mixtures and then roughly 2:1 on the third mixture? many Thanks for dealing with my novice heart!
I figured it by using 15% "Water as a percent of oil weight" (1.0782 : 1, water : lye) for the first 2, and 40% "Water as a percent of oil weight" (2.8752 : 1, water : lye) for the 3rd one.

Are you saying to use 1:1 on the first two batter mixtures and then roughly 2:1 on the third mixture? many Thanks for dealing with my novice heart!
I figured it by using 15% "Water as a percent of oil weight" (1.0782 : 1, water : lye) for the first 2, and 40% "Water as a percent of oil weight" (2.8752 : 1, water : lye) for the 3rd one.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks and you evenly divided the lye into 3 parts, yes?
Yes, please look at Auntie Clara's articles for more information.
Exquisite!
