In this video I make cold process soap with spruce tip infused olive oil.
A few weeks ago I went to the forest to pick some spruce tips and wanted to include them in a soap recipe.
I colored the soap naturally with spinach powder. I like how bright green the soap bars turned out and I hope the color doesn't fade with time.
Thank you for watching!

Hi, thank you for watching! Happy midsummer day🌼 You can find the recipe for this soap and some links to soap making equipment in the description box. If you’re wondering about the use of citric acid in soap making, it does not lower the pH of soap. Instead it consumes some of the lye and increases the superfat, but I usually add more lye to compensate.
Metal ions such as calcium and magnesium can be found in tap water. These metal contaminants can cause rancidity and soap scum in handmade soap. When citric acid and lye are combined, sodium citrate is created. Sodium citrate works as a chelator in soap. A chelator traps the metal contaminants, so that the soap won’t react with them. This way the soap's lather improves and shelf life increases.
Thank you very much🙏🙏🙏😁😁
Soo if use citric acic mush put more sodium hidroxide ?
@@yoffarossyyoutubechannel5842 You don't have to, just know that it will increase your superfat. 10 g of citric acid neutralizes about 6 g of lye.
Ok, thanks
Thank you for the info :)
I wonder that citric acid can prevent DOS too?
Wow, .. the soap came out so beautiful. Loved the whole process of using natural ingredients. As usual, the video was so calming and refreshing at the same time.
Thank you so much❤
What a beautiful way to end my day watching yet another of your soap making videos. You used nature at its best to create such a pretty soap and the music complemented it all perfectly. Thank you so much I will keep this recipe and add to my must make soaps.
Thank you so much, that makes me so happy🥰
The beauty of this soap is unique and stunning.
Beautiful green soap, and very relaxing as always. Thanks for another great upload, love from Australia ❤❤🙏🙏
your Videos are sooo good to calm down! If I have the time some day. I'll try some of your recipes
Beautiful. I bet it smells heavenly. 💕💕💕
So beautiful!
Beautiful video, awesome soap. Thank you for sharing.
Your videos put me into a trance. Thanks for sharing.
Your soaps are always so beautiful in their natural coloring .. this one must smell amazing .🤩 you are so very talented and work so relaxed ❤️
Thank you Blanca🥰
This vid has been the absolute most relaxing soap making vid I've watched yet. 😍
Thank you so much🥰
Awesome video. so different from other soap videos, no rock music or heavy metal more like a work of art. Thank you
Just Elegantly Beautiful...❣
Zen moment of the day 😍 beautiful 🥰
Thank you❤
Looks so,
Good!!!
Great job,
🙏.
Beautiful color, thank you for sharing
Ah, I was going to ask about the citric acid. I thought maybe it kept the spruce green in the soap (in the same way it keeps cut apples from browning). Interesting that it improves shelf life. BEAUTIFUL soap -- I loved everything about this video. Nicely done, as always. :)
That's a good guess☺ Thank you so much❤
C'est toujours un plaisir de voir tes vidéos ,l'art et la manière ,bonne continuation.
Thank you😊
Amazing thank you so much for sharing 🎈🥰🥰🎈
Beautiful soap love! Such a soothing video too 🌲💚
Thank you💝
Beautiful! 😊🧼🌲💚
The green is so beautiful
Thank you☺
Lovely soap and lovely process!
Thank you☺️
Beautiful soap
Hermoso 😍. Gracias por la fórmula ♥️🇲🇽🙅♂️
Thank you☺
Love your videos!! The are so calming. I really like that you use natural colorants also.
I've never mixed pine e.o. with lavender essential oil -
I'll have to try it.
Thank you - beautiful soap!!
Thank you! I think they go well together☺️
I am trying this very soon & am wondering if you've tried simply incorporating the fresh spruce tips directly into your soap. I would think that they're soft enough that they'd blend into the oils really well without causing major scratchiness.
Hello. I was curious regarding infusions. When or how do you know to infuse in oil or water when making a single colored soap?
I just love watching your instructive and calming videos. Thank you for your bright ideas and great quality of work! May I ask you how the color of this spruce soap turns out with time? The smell of balsam tree buds is like cotton candy apparently. Are spruce buds something sweeter too? I really like your way to incorporate natural ingredients in your recipes. It is very appealing and valuable to me. Thank you very much!
Thank you Marie-Christine you are so kind! The color has faded a lot, now it's only a light green. I wouldn't say that spruce tips smell super sweet, maybe just a little bit🤗
@@tellervo. Thank you for the answer! I am now so thrilled to try your fabulous recipes!! These soaps will do so perfect gifts for my family and my friends! Thank you very much💚
May I ask, what did the spruce tips do for the soap? It's colored with spinach, and scented with essential oils. Did the spruce add something more?
She mentioned at the beginning that they contain vitamin C and antioxidants.
Beautifull ❤❤❤
Lovely soap. I'm wanting to make a naturally pigmented green soap but I've read they look green at first but turn a brownish color shortly after curing. Have you had this happen to your soap?
I am only learning and have not tried it in practice, but I read that citric acid retains colors for a long time, it also increases the shelf life of soap in principle
Beautiful soap and video. Two questions - 1)why the citric acid? 2) what colour after six weerks? Thank you
Beautiful! How is the colour now, 6 months later?
It has faded a lot and more so around the edges, but it's still a light green🙂
Hi im curious how come you dont grind the tips when they are green? Wouldnt the smell be stronger? Also im curious did you record with sound on as i dont heard background noise but hear the grinding and other sounds plus the music. Im curious because i own a spa and want to record my employees giving a massage and want to hear those sounds but not background noise. Is this just video editing software? Thanks and great peaceful video!
Wow wow Wow
Thank u for this wonderful video-receipt!
Can you please tell us what exactly is lye?
Because I thought it was citric acid 🙄
lye = NaOH
Plz make rosemary and mint or simply rosemary soap...with recipe
J'adore c'est magnifique ♥️♥️
c'est pour quel type de peau ??
Beautiful mam 🥰👍
Love your soap!
Your captions are too low to be seen on my iPhone-wish they were higher.
Lindo ❤️❤️
That is lovely. Spinach powder has faded for me. Did it fade for you? Also, did you add and ground spruce needles or is the speckling from the spinach?
Thank you! It has faded a little bit but not that much. The speckles are from the spinach :)
Natural colorants tend to fade after some time. May I ask you for how long does this beautiful green colour remain? Thank you in advance for your reply.
A few months😊
Awesome
Excuse me how much spinach powder do you use for this soap? And in general which are the green herbs that offer the highest concentration of color for the longest time? Thank you in advance
You people have problem. It’s clearly white in the video How much. Ridiculous
What are you adding citric acid? To lower the ph?
This is SOOOOO soothing to watch🥰 I’m almost sad I can’t smell the soap or essential oils😭
🥰🥰
Hello! May I know, did you dry the spruce or wilt them before grinding? Thank you in advance!
Yes I dried them for a few days🙂
@@tellervo. Thank you!
Can I use green pines needles
Hi just a question how can I avoid d gelling in cold process using 70% coconut and 30%castor oil with 5% supper fatting.
You could try putting your soap in the fridge after pouring.
@@tellervo. thanks I will try this too. Are there option that might be feasible when producing soap in bulk cz can't keep all those in fridge.
@@zaeem.ul.hassankhatri8335 Basically you just need to find a cool place to put your soap in🙂
@@tellervo. will just a fan work?
@@zaeem.ul.hassankhatri8335 I don't know, you really have to try for yourself.
Of course, I think , I could pop them in the dehydrator for a few days….. then pulverise them in the Nutria Ninja….. not quite the peaceful Finnish Hygge thing……
😄 sure
كثير حلو
Thank you!
Hi, what is the size of your mold ?
It's 900 g :)
💞🍃💞🍃
❤
All I can think is I want to eat it, it looks like matcha kitkat
Pine leaf ?
I'm not sure what you're asking?🙂
@@tellervo. the leave you picking, look like pine leaves??
@@kasirojkt9245 it's spruce tips🙂
@@tellervo. ok
I like to try make it😁
I recommend you research fortified shampoo for fast hair growth.
Ebbe már semmi természetes sem maradt, mind mű mesterséges hozzávaló. CSALÓDÁS VOLT! !😔
This is just amazing
