I absolutely love this video, you’re very detailed. I just have one question, don’t you need a natural preservative since you’ve added the water and aloe juice?
Thank you! yes, generally you do! I did not use a preservative because I was only using it for a 1 week and a half-2 weeks or less. If you want to keep it for longer, you must use a preservative so that no bacteria or mold will grow. I'm not too familiar with the best preservatives so I just make it in small batches. It may have seemed like a lot here but it was just for video/demonstration purposes. I hope this helps and thank you for your question and for watching!
May I make a suggestion? After the soap is dissolved and before adding the oil, that you strain the soap. I’ve always noticed that there are solids, but the other day the nozzle on my squeeze bottle clogged, so I strained it. You need a pretty fine strainer. I used my tea strainer. Also it is perfect for a foam pump bottle!
Oonagh72 yes of course! Thank you for your suggestion 😊 another queen just mentioned that she uses cheesecloth to strain the soap and that works well for her. I think next time I want to try keeping it a liquid and putting it in a form pump!
Thank you for this video and the links to the ingredient measurements. I am new to guar gum and I did not know how much to use all I have heard is don't use too much. You giving me a really great idea now about the proportion that's needed. When I have dissolved my African black soap into distilled water I use a chocolate melter with the surgical silicone lining that's removable and washable. And I said it on the lower temperature and it seems to melt it a lot faster than when I was putting it in a bowl and covering it. If you have a chocolate melter give it a try it works really well.
I love this video!!! Very informative n she got straight to the point n stayed on point!!! Can this shampoo also be used as a body wash with the essential oils? Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. Yes, you can use it as a body wash as well. I recommend adding a bit more soap if you want to use it as a body wash because it will sud up better. Thanks for watching!
@@NabilaRaine next time, it will be more beneficial to get a small cup of the mixture, then add the guar gum to it and mix it together and then add it to the whole batch. The guar gum can get really annoying when it is bot mixed in all the way. I noticed there were clumps.
Good video and informative. Could you do another with the strainer and better volume? Volume was low. Thank you and continue to produce these videos, Sis.
Hey sis this looks great was wondering if I could use aloe gel instead of aloe water and replace the organic gum with seamoss gel to create the thickness also this may seem like a silly question will this be mild enough to use on my newborn baby
Hi, thank you love. Hmmm, I'm not sure. I have not tried that before. But if you do try it be sure to update us on how it worked out! Guar Gum is what makes it thick, seamoss will probably dissolve in the liquid, but it may depend on how much you use. From what I have read, it looks like it gentle enough for babies but I have never tried it on a baby, so do your research before you do. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️️
Hi, I’m not too familiar with those ingredients. I believe you should be able to add them. However, before you do loo up the concentrations that they should be use at. You don’t want to add too much of extracts to your products.
vegatable gylcerin does help from it not molding also certain oils will help when u use ctric acid all the other things it does not make it organic keeping in dark and frig it does help placing in sun light will damage the organic product tee tree oil an gylcerin is a preservative guar gum help thick ness etc .... alot of preservative are harming hair now of day ase
This can last comfortably for 2-3 weeks. I am not well versed in preservatives, so I recommend doing some research on it to see which you would like best.
hey y'all! Let me know if you plan to try this DIY African Black Soap Gel! ✨ tag me in your insta stories @nabilaraine This African Black Soap Gel can last for about 2 weeks if a preservative isn’t added. I recommend researching preservatives if you would like it to last longer. Or simply just make small batches and remake every two weeks. It’s entirely your preference :) Liquid DIY Black Soap Recipe: th-cam.com/video/jIqJ9uq-c4k/w-d-xo.html
Hi love, you can check out the recipe here nabilaraine.com/2020/07/14/diy-african-black-soap-gel-shampoo-body-wash-and-face-wash/ Thank you for watching.
Hi, yes you can. You can just replace the aloe juice with more distilled water. I’m not sure how aloe gel would work in this recipe but you can give it a try lol thanks for watching!
Hi, I am not familiar with xanthan gum. Try searching google for it's benefits, if it says it is a natural thickener than it may be good for this recipe.
Christy thomas Christy thomas hi, at this point you’ll just have to keep mixing it until it dissolves. A tip that a fellow queen gave was to put a little bit of the liquid soap in a cup and then add the guar gum slowly. After it’s all mixed into that little batch then you can add it to your bigger batch. Maybe we both can try this next time we make some and see how it goes.
Yes you are right, the correct ratio is important. Some people prefer more moisture than latter and some people are the opposite, so it just depends on what you would like. All of my recipes are able to be tweaked to your liking. So play around with it and see what works best for you. Thank you for watching!
Hi I love your videos. But I want to ask you some questions. I am a Nigerian base in Nigeria. I will like to know how to making organic liquid body wash( Both lightening and whitening glowing ) Perfumes with essential oil( spray, Cologne, roll up and deodorant) and hair cream
Hi! This video is a great base for the liquid body wash and this one th-cam.com/video/jIqJ9uq-c4k/w-d-xo.html they help with hyperpigmentation but aren't whitening. I will look into doing the other video suggestions with the essential oils and hair cream!
Hey! This soap is usable for most skin types. Some people may find it too harsh, but I personally love it. So you would have to try it out and see what your skin thinks. I recommend adding more oils so it can be more moisturizing.
@@NabilaRaine in a old pot over low heat,, add honey too or glycerin whichever you prefer. But it will be a thicker mixture though depending on how much honey or glycerin you add, this is just to avoid putting preservatives in, ppl say with the water version you need it but, I dont 100percent agree with that it's just a quicker way of doing it. 🙂🙂
Sweetie you need a preservative that will be able to sustain an oil and water mixture, if not, you will get mold in it, even if you cannot really see the mold... You don't wanna wash your hair with that shampoo without a preservative if it's not used in 5-7 days or less... There are natural full spectrum presentatives, just research it... Other than that, I like your video
Автандил Юсубов I have never tried that. But I think it will cause the soap to sweat and look unpleasant. You can try the fridge to make it last a little longer
The essence of using black soap to shower is to wash away the oil on your soap and you can feel the squeaky feel when you run your hand over your skin. Wouldn't all the oil you added clog your skin up?
Hi! I personally have really dry skin so it’s the right amount of moisture for me. So you can tweak it to your liking. If you don’t want to add any oils at all, you don’t have too. Hope this helps 🙂

I have some African Black soap sitting in my skin care drawer. I’ll definitely be trying out this recipe.
I Am Precious Walker let me know how it goes! 😊 Just added this to my pinned comment, but without a preservative this lasts for about two weeks.

Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe.

Nabila Raine thanks for your quick reply!
I'm going to try this recipe!!
Mix your guar gum in the glycerin so it won't clump.
Definitely will try next time! Thank you 😊
Great tip
Will definitely be trying this, adding a preservative due to it being water based. Thanks for your video
Landarow w glad to hear it, a preservative is definitely a good idea when made in big batches!

Acting is bo$$ That’s a good point, thanks for the advice! I will try that next time 😌
what preservative do you recommend?
How do you know how much preservative to use? And could you use optiphen or phenonip?
Thank you! Now I don’t have any guar gum , what is an alternative?
When you should your face, I was like WOW 😳 she’s so Beautiful 😍💛💎
Aww thank you so much beautiful! ❤️
Good video and informative. Could you do another with the strainer and better volume? Volume was low. Thank you and continue to produce these videos, Sis.
hi, yes of course. What do you mean by better volume?
@@NabilaRaine yes
If I wanted to add botanical powders and fruit juices do I put it in before the thickener? Or does it not matter what order I put in my ingredients?

Hi. Can I make this with licorice extract & mulberry extract for acne & dark spots?
Hi, I’m not too familiar with those ingredients. I believe you should be able to add them. However, before you do loo up the concentrations that they should be use at. You don’t want to add too much of extracts to your products.
Nice video! What ingredient makes the soap thick?
Thank you! It’s the guar gum that makes it thick
followed you as soon as i heard Oshun!
🥰️🥰️ love them
Why didn’t you add a preservative Queen? Anytime water is added, a preservative is a must. It will mold up within a month or less.
Hi love, I only keep the batch for 1-2 weeks because I am not too familiar with preservatives. Thank you for checking in!

alot of preservative are harming hair now of day ase
@@emmywu6179 that is untrue, please do research before you spread fear.
What's a good perservative for this? please help
@@mwatenamwinga8761 Hello 👋🏽! Germaben ii or Phenonip which can be found on Amazon or EBay. 🌹
How long will it last
How much black soap did you use? The ingredients say 1/2 a block but I don’t know what size your block was.
Preservatives need to be added, but a nice recipe. I'm curious though, does the oil separate in the mixture at all?
I think the guar gum binds them.
How much guar gum was that to black soap solution though?
The website says 1 tbsp of guar gum and 2 cups of water is used to melt the soap
Hi I have enjoyed your channel. Can this be used as a shaving gel?
Hi, thank you. I have never used it as a shaving gel, so I am not sure. I think you may want something that is specifically made for shaving though.
I use the solid bar soap to shave. So I would recommend based on personal experience.
Thank you.
Is guar gum and Xanthum Gum the same
On. They are similar but not the same. I read that guar gum will foam more when washing with it
Can I use this on my natural hair
Yes!
OMG MY NAME IS Rainie! We almost have the same name!
Hey girl hey! ☺️💕
Looking forward to trying this💕
Mira Sultan I hope you love it! Also just added this to my pinned comment, but this product will last for about 2 weeks.
Great video
Thank you!
What other ingredient can I use if Guar gum isn't available
Xanthan gum, dissolve it in your Vegetable Glycerin
What happens if I add the oil before I let the soap dissolve?
How long is the shelf life? And what preservatives would go best with this?
This can last comfortably for 2-3 weeks. I am not well versed in preservatives, so I recommend doing some research on it to see which you would like best.
question: trying to get mine to lather beautifully like yours! can you help?
Hi, I would suggest to use less oil &/or water and instead add more soap. Hope this helps!

What essential oils brand do you use? Or does anyone recommend?
I like ECO, their essential oils have great smells and do not seem to be watered down.
@@NabilaRaine thank you 💚🙏🏾
Love it
Thank you ❤️
Hi hun. Can I follow this recipe without aloe Vera juice? I don’t have aloe Vera juice but I have aloe Vera gel!
Please let me know! Thank you
Hi, yes you can. You can just replace the aloe juice with more distilled water. I’m not sure how aloe gel would work in this recipe but you can give it a try lol thanks for watching!
Can i add ani other oils apart from these ones u used
Of course, you can choose which oils you would like to use. Just stay away from vegetable oil, corn oil, etc.
Please Can I use xanthan gum instead?
Hi, I am not familiar with xanthan gum. Try searching google for it's benefits, if it says it is a natural thickener than it may be good for this recipe.
Yes it’s better
Where can I get black soap in South Africa
Check out emour_shop on IG plus they have a website, www.emour.co.za
That much oil not stay on your face after wash? Why should use too many oil?
Warm or cold water?
room temperature should be fine, warm water may make it dissolve quicker though.
Great recipe but be easy with the oils because too much will keep your soap from lathering.
when I add my guar gum, it just clumps up. How do i get rid of that?
Christy thomas Christy thomas hi, at this point you’ll just have to keep mixing it until it dissolves.

Dissolve the guar gum in a few tablespoons of water. It should be the consistency of yogurt, maybe a lil thicker. Then add that mixture to the soap.
Mix it in oil or glycerin rather than water as it clumps less.
@@jk9084 thanks for the suggestion!
@@NabilaRaine You're welcome!
But when I tried mine, I notice that adding more oils makes a poor lather shampoo, it doesn't foam anymore
