Thank you Ms Sarah from 🇺🇸🇻🇮 for your wonderful time and effort in sharing your beautiful recipes. You motivate me in moving forward with my soaping journey. I enjoy all your videos and love your accent.
It's lovely to hear that you enjoy my videos Lysette :)
Beautiful as ever. Thanks Sarah 😘
Thanks for your support
Thanks for sharing 👍
This looks so beautiful.
Thanks Tanya. There can be great beauty in simplicity, I am so glad you like it :)
Dear, very easy.. Thanks..
Oh wow, this is so beautiful 💗
Thanks for sharing this small batch size, this looks really nice and refreshing, could i add mint infused olive oil? And the tea lye solution add cucumber juice instead i bet that would smell amazing.
Gosh, that does look beautiful.
Thanks Elaine, glad you like it :)
Thank you for the video and explanation
You are welcome

What is the proportion of superfat suitable for a young child and what oils are suitable for a child like that?
Such adorable people 😂❤
That was simply lovely.... Thank You so much for sharing this recipe... I just have one question in mind... What is the shelf life of these soaps which are made from fruit or vegetable puree...
Hi Nupoor, I have made loads of them in various options and none of them has gone bad if they are fully liquified and you don't add too much. I have some that are now over 4 years old
@@SoapSchoolUK Thank You so much for clearing my doubt M'am... I will surely try this recipe... 😊😊
Great tip for the dog treats, we give our dogs raw carrot chunks instead of treats. I'm telling everyone I'm super fatted too. Thanks 😁
The funniest thing he's said for ages lol. Ours eat cooked carrots but not raw sadly.
Nice video❤❤❤❤❤
This looks fantastic! Does this need a preservative?
No it doesn't need if you puree thoroughly or juice
Hello Sarah.. jow do u decide how much fruit/veg puree u add in a recipe. I'd be greatful if you'd reply.. thank you..
I like to use 50g puree per kg og oils in my recipes :)
"I'm not overweight I'm just superfatting" Priceless, I'm never going to forget that
He's a keeper Karen. I am having it put on a T-shirt to make me smile :)
my husband says.. .he's well nourished..
I have made cucumber soap using pureed cucumbers as the full liquid portion without any issues. Is this normally not done?
Some people do use it as a complete swap for the water, I prefer to use less though :)
I made this soap but sadly after a week it developed brown spots. Any idea what went worng? It was inititally beautiful and I was so excited.
Did you juice the puree enough? You need no lumps at all ideally
It was completelysmooth when I oured it. The only parts that turned brown were the skin flecks of the cucumber. I'm going to give it another try and peel the cuc this time.
@@chenoawhite0713 That's a great idea Chenoa.
Were the brown spots big ones or just around the tiny bits of peel? The reason I ask is because if they were around only the tiny bits of peel, that was perfectly fine. However, if the spots were just vague and smelled badly, those were DOS, or Dreaded Orange Spots, and a sign that something either came into contact with your soap if it was only one spot, or that one or more of your oils may have been rancid, if there were more spots on more than one soap and they were not small.
I hope this helped even though it's a late response.
Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. So what super fast did you use and did you do any water discount?
I don't normally discount my water on fruit or vegetable soaps, I use a 30% to 32% water
@@SoapSchoolUK Ahhh ok thank you so much for this
Hi! Do you substitute some of the water on soap calc for purée? Or do you add 50g purée on top on the base recipe please?
hello
We can dissolve the soaps on the market and add aloe vera and vitamins
thank you😊🌸
Such a beautiful soap! And I totally agree with him, I have a high superfat too!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 I'm so making a t-shirt with that on Lisa
@@SoapSchoolUK Now that would be brilliant!!!
How long should it be kept for curing ?
May I suggest that instead of planing your soap to remove the ash that's formed, you could simply wipe it off with a damp cloth or even wash the soap! It'll be shiny and clean straightaway!
That's a great point - thank you! We often do a water bath or steam them to remove the occasional soda ash too.
Do the active ingredients really survive the lye and saponification process?
It's an interesting question. I like to think that many do as Professor K Dunn has detailed how essential oils do retain their properties in the soap.
Hi may i know where can i get the solid palm and coconut oils?
I mean can i just buy both in liquid state?
@@nerdyboy3693 if you are in hot climate they may be liquid
HI can i use shea butter in the place of palm oil.Thanks
You can but you will need to recalculate the recipe to adjust the amount of lye needed :)
Hello, how many month's we can use this soap, and how many months we can store to.
It lasts at least 12 months
Hi. I just want to know how much % for any kind of purée (veg / fruits) is used as ppo or whole soap batch? Thank u
We use pretty much the same amount for most of our recipes - around 50g of puree per kilo of oils
@@SoapSchoolUK ❤️
Can u plz make a video on making soap dough plz? Lard & Beef Tallow r not available in my country. Bee Iyata used one of the ingredient in her free soap dough making recipe. Thank u 😊
@@rrutaba I'm afraid I don't make soap dough
@@SoapSchoolUK I wish if u can 😊❤️
Haha! I'm superfatted too!
Does the green tea extract have a fragrance?
Not really no
I want to use cucumber water that I strained and froze to use in place of the water for the lye ... will this option burn the juice and stink? I've googled this to death and found no clear answers.
I would give it a try. The main thing is to try and keep it as cold as possible. Try placing it into an ice water bath to keep the heat down even further
What is the lye solution made of? You need to be more detailed..
The recipe is in the description under the video. The lye solution is a standard lye and water mix
Ingredientes por favor 🙏🏻
😉☕😊
Hello please do u do formation?
The recipe is in the description under the video :)

Did you forget to give the measurements?
Sorry. I saw the details later
