Very nice!! I'm with you, I can't stand botanicals floating in my bath water, it's like insects and just freaks me out!😨😲Ha!😂😂Thanks for sharing recipe. Love how you just ground up your botanical!! I'm going to try this!❤❤❤🎄
How much product do you add to the bath to be effective? One tablespoon or more? Just wondering if you put that on the label. Thank you. It was very informative amd the right mix between a bath salts and milk!!
It really depends on how big your bath is. We have an extra large bath so I usually pour in a 3rd of the bag but a small bath may only need 3-4 scoops. I have instructions on my packaging
Hiya Soy and Shea, I'm wondering, what I could possibly use in the UK, as an alternative to Natrasorb? It feels as tho I've searched everywhere for it, but it appears I can't source it here. It seems, I'll be unable to go ahead, and make bath salts/milk to sell, without the Natrasorb? Do you possibly have any advice? I'd be so grateful. Thank you ♥️
Thank you for watching 🧡 there are a few discussions in the comments about where you can find Natrasorb. There were a few places in UK and may also be called bath sorb. It's such a unique ingredient that there aren't any good alternatives
My son was allergic to dairy, soy, almonds, and raw tomatoes. I find it funny when people who are simply lactose intolerant think they have a milk allergy. They’re an entirely different thing.
Hi Keeley i love how you always use high quality ingredients in all your products , i feel the same and i always think you can tell when you use the product that its quality. These bath milks are adorable so cute . As usual another great video iv been binge watching them all ,keep up the good work x
The Natrasorb is unlike any other starch. It can easily hold its same weight of wet ingredients and still remain dry. Most of the other starches go like breadcrumbs. I have used normal tapioca starch but it didn't look as nice.
That's a question that cannot really be answered definitively as it really depends on how much water is in your bath. We have a huge bath so I put just under half a cup but in my parents bath which is a lot smaller I'd put about 1/4 cup. It's also a personal preference to how much someone wants in the bath.
Can you please do a video on everything you need to put on labels in Australia? I'm starting a business myself and the legal side gets a bit confusing!
I know it is so confusing and each state has slightly different rules. For this reason I wouldn't do a whole video on it as I wouldn't want to give wrong information.
Great recipe again... thanks for sharing your knowledge.... may I know how to use it as a scrub or as bath soak? Secondly is there a substitute for Natrasorb?
Thank you. This is a bath soak. When running a bath, I put a couple of scoops in the water and it dissolves. There really is no good substitute for natrasorb. It's a tapioca starch but if you use ordinary tapioca starch it goes clumpy and holds the moisture differently so things still get damp
Natrasorb is a brand name and is a refined tapioca starch. It's very hard to replace but regular tapioca is better than corn starch. It can be lumpy though
This is my second question: could you give the actual weights of the amounts of ingredients instead of percentages? I’m not sure how to translate the percentages to weight amounts. I really like this recipe of all the recipes I watched
Sorry but it's in percentages so you can make any size batch you need. You can use an online percentage calculator to work the amounts out based on the amount you need.

Love this. Will need to try with coconut milk powder. I have two kids who like you have a milk protein allergy. Isn't it annoying when a favourite product has "an improved recipe"? Usually means whey or caesin is added 😒
I love the coconut milk powder. It doesn't smell like goats milk 😆 Yes its extremely annoying especially when it took forever to find a certain food you can eat then they change it 😔

@@SoyandShea instead of the natrasorb i used dendritic salt. wonder if that is why it got wet and started to make my plastic bottles bubble up like it was ready to explode :(
Hi, I am in Sydney and planning to make start a really small business of bath salts. Can you please tell if I want to add both essential oil and carrier oil what should be the ratio...all your help is so much appreciated...Love Rashida
To be honest, I wouldn't add carrier oil to this mix as it will be a soggy mess. As for how much essential oil, you need to research the suggested usage rates of the particular oils you're using.
True colloidal oatmeal is oats that have been boiled. The mucilage is skimmed off and dried and that is what colloidal oatmeal is. It dissolves cleanly in water with no bits or residue. Grinding up regular edible oats at home is not colloidal oatmeal. It can be used but it does not dissolve like colloidal oatmeal.
That is correct and as mentioned in the video the processing involved is what leads to the expense. Depending on what you want out of the oatmeal would depend if you invest in the "real" ingredient such as for lotion, or if using in soap you can do it yourself to get a nice Exfoliating soap
Thank you ❤ I've noted to use 2-3 scoops/tablespoons but you can use more or less depending on size of bath. I have a rather deep bath tub so usually use more 😊
Ouuu! I love this. I have a question about the natrasorb. If we use this in our recipe does this mean we dont have to use an emulsifier like poly 80 to help with the water and oils?
Polysorbate is a solubiser not an emulsifier. Natrasorb is a powdered ingredient that makes wet ingredients temporarily dry and not a solubiser. So depending on your recipe, you may still need a solubiser
You need to check your country's rules and regulations when it comes to listing ingredients and allergens when selling products. Check out my website to see
There's a lot that goes into creating formulas. You need to think about what you want your product to do, then think what ingredients will achieve it. It's all about knowing your ingredients
@@trolondasellers5089 you need to be using ingredients at no more than their suggested usage rates and in some cases, you need the right balance to get a formula to work
Just want to check cause I think the auto correct gremlins have been playing 🤣 are you aking about the scoops? If so, I got then from a place called Heirloom Body Care.
Natrasorb is a rather unique ingredient that doesn't have a very good substitute. It is tapioca starch that has been highly refined making it super absorbent.
Thank you for watching ❤ I got these off Ebay from an Australian supplier. If your in Australia I can share the link otherwise jump on Ebay and search plastic milk bottles
Another question. Can you make this and bottle it up and store it in humid climates? Or should I just make it in cooler weather? I’m nervous of the powders clumping up into a hard block inside the bottle. Thanks.
@@SoyandShea interesting! and definitely not the effect you want with delicate milk powders and such where that could cause clumping. good to know, thanks for the reply. Perhaps one could classify dead sea salt as a hydrating salt. either way i never knew that.
@@Izzazzo I don't believe they would be hydrating - salt is known for its drying and curing abilities if used in high quantities. Most salt if left open to air will sweat and dissolve - I have found Dead Sea Salt just more prone to it. It's also why I don't use a Himalayan Salt Lamp anymore. We came home to a huge puddle of salt water after it started to sweat - and I mean huge. We were lucky none of the water dripped onto the power point - just wrecked the side board and stained floors.
@@SoyandShea great points. drying..curing, totally. and WOW that coulda been worse for sure. that reminds me, my friend told me last week that her Himalayan salt lamp was leaving a lot of this weird residue ..and she sent me a picture and it was a lot of stuff around it. she should prolly get rid of that. i'm going to tell her what happened to you. how bizarre!
@@tanyabonnett4174 working with percentages is quite easy with the metric system. Giving you a recipe in percentages means you can make it any size you want and you can adjust according for fragrance and preservative rates as these can differ. For example if a recipe calls for 20% of something and you are making 500g, you do 500x0.20 which is 100g.
@@SoyandShea yes I do realise why you do percentages. I'm not great with my maths and conversations in the smaller weights, that's why I said need to do home work. Lol
It's in percentages so you can make any batch size. There are online calculators that can change % in weight. This is a skill you need to make safe bath and body products
Hi. I've watched a few tutorials on milk baths, many suggest the drying of the product on a tray for 2 days or so to avoid the clumping or hardening of the salt. Love your thoughts or any suggestions as I really don't have time or space to be drying it out for so long.
Ohhhh la la! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and demo. Very inspirational. One question: Is modified tapioca starch the same as natrasorb? When I do a search for that ingredient, that's what comes up. Please advise. Christmas is coming! ;)
Do you know something that I could use instead of the oats but would have the same kind of benefits? Or do you think it would be just fine without it? I have a friend who is allergic and I’d be making it for her. I also have a question about oils. If I added an oil (not a huge percentage though) and let it sit over night until dry, do you think I could potentially get away with adding a preservative? Or to the bath salts? (I saw the bath salts video first).
I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would be similar but you could increase the milk powder or clays and leave it out. I personally wouldn't add oil to either one of the milk or salts as it would make it damp once your seal it up. There is also a high chance of it going rancid which a preservative wouldn't help with.
Soy and Shea thank you for answering both my questions, I really appreciate it! I understand, I’ll definitely stick to being my “simply” (if that makes sense) with them for sure then!... and I definitely will make sure I won’t kill my friend either. Big no-no. 😂 Thank you again!

Hi. I've watched a few tutorials on milk baths, many suggest the drying of the product on a tray for 2 days or so to avoid the clumping or hardening of the salt. Love your thoughts or any suggestions as I really don't have time or space to be drying it out for so long.
Using the natrasorb really helps as it turns liquid to dry so my mix is dry when I make it.
Thank you for sharing your video with us. I can imagine myself in this beautiful milk bath! Merry Christmas!!! ♡
Merry Christmas to you too ❤
Ohhhh la la! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and demo. Very inspirational. One question: Is modified tapioca starch the same as natrasorb? When I do a search for that ingredient, that's what comes up. Please advise. Christmas is coming! ;)
I believe it is known as Modified Starch as well. It's very light and airy. Which country are you in?
@@SoyandShea Thank you so much for the reply. I live in the USA
@@manjawarner3162 I see that Save on citric sell as Natrasorb 😊
@@SoyandShea Wonderful! Thanks a bunch for your help.
Do you know something that I could use instead of the oats but would have the same kind of benefits?
Or do you think it would be just fine without it?
I have a friend who is allergic and I’d be making it for her.
I also have a question about oils. If I added an oil (not a huge percentage though) and let it sit over night until dry, do you think I could potentially get away with adding a preservative? Or to the bath salts? (I saw the bath salts video first).
I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would be similar but you could increase the milk powder or clays and leave it out.
I personally wouldn't add oil to either one of the milk or salts as it would make it damp once your seal it up. There is also a high chance of it going rancid which a preservative wouldn't help with.
Soy and Shea thank you for answering both my questions, I really appreciate it!
I understand, I’ll definitely stick to being my “simply” (if that makes sense) with them for sure then!... and I definitely will make sure I won’t kill my friend either. Big no-no. 😂
Thank you again!
@@Greenavery1395 I've found simplicity is often best 😊
