Hello ,yes awesome, I love natural additives as well, I used watermelon juice in my AZ watermelon soap and for some reason the lather is just amazing compared to other additives I used before. Now I made cranberry orange with fresh squeezed orange juice and I can’t wait to comparé the performance Thank you for another great video
I love your videos Soo much until I even watch the commercials, because I want you to get paid for what you do. You share so much and ask for nothing, the least I can do is sit through the ads 🌹💕
I've been considering using jojoba beads, currently I just use it in liquid form and add it as a superfat. I've had people ask me what the benefit is, and I'm not sure what to say because I know we're not supposed to tell people soap has any benefit other than getting you clean.
Yeah it’s such a tough line to walk, for sure. And it is accurate - soap is a rinse off product so technically it doesn’t have any benefits! But jojoba makes a pretty epic lather!
How do you know the usage rates for various additives? I know you have mentioned the clay before and the ones mentioned. Is it preference? Like colloidal oats for example
Hello! New to your video, was looking for some additives that could avoid discoloration on the soap after few days(from orange to brownish yellow I put some Kojic acid on it which I've heard can really change the color of the soap but it's my friend's request-kojic papaya soap .Does citric acid can help achieve vibrant color stays or titanium dioxide? If you have any idea about it, would be great help. Cheers x
Hey! Loads of issues could cause discoloration, from the scent to the oils. I recommend putting kaolin clay into the batch to minimize the discoloration. Titanium dioxide can help as well.
Hello, exactly how many additives can be added at one time? Does it matter at what stage? I want to add oat, goat milk, and honey powders (mixed with water) I just wanted to know the best way! Thanks!
Hi! So I responded to you on insta, but for the peoples that may have the same question - the only thing that really makes a soap fall out of solution is a miscalculation of lye and fats. So if that’s dialed in, you can do any number of additives to soap! Experiment and have fun!
Hey! I like to add exfoliants once a decent trace has been reached. Too thin, and all the scrubby bits fall to the bottom of the bar. Too thick, and it doesn’t mix properly and you’re left with pockets of scrubby in an otherwise normal bar of soap.
I use kaolin in all my soaps. This video was very informative, thank you
Love these! Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Thanks for another info packed video, I love the deep dives.

Juices do cool things to lather, right? Your cranberry orange sounds awesome!
Love this video. I love using clays and now I am going to try using a whole lot to see how it feels on the skin.
Do you have "how to" video on sodium citrate usage? Looking for info on how to incorporate properly.
Thank you for sharing.

@@MrsSoapAndClay Yeah it does! I started buying more fun things to add to my soap. I'm enjoying the experimenting :)

@@MrsSoapAndClay thank you so much for your kind reply. I'll give it a try. Cheers x
Do you have to use sodium lactate with higher amount of clay?
Nope!
Love yr ch.

I have the same clay secret! 🎉
Concerning citric acid, is it okay to use citric acid in a salt bar?
Hey! Sure, as long as you’re aware of how salt/citric acid consume the lye to adjust accordingly.
At what point would you say to add jojoba beads or pumice in the soap batter?
Hey! I like to add exfoliants once a decent trace has been reached. Too thin, and all the scrubby bits fall to the bottom of the bar. Too thick, and it doesn’t mix properly and you’re left with pockets of scrubby in an otherwise normal bar of soap.
It does not work like that. NaOH and citric acid react in 1,2:2,1 mass ratio.
Can you explain don't understand?
