I'm tempted to try using beets in the same way you'd use beer or milk. Freeze the juice in cubes and add lye to the cubes while the container is in a ice bath. Keep the lye water really cool and immediately place soap in the fridge to keep the sugars in the soap from scorching which would 1) discolor the soap and 2) smell unpleasant
The soap making process is simply amazing. I enjoyed also your choice of music that accompanied the video. My only disappointment is that I thought the final product will retain the beets color, but it didn't.
Can you soap it? Suggestions. Carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, mango, cucumber, strawberry (any berry for that matter). Sorry about the long list, just curious and stumbled upon this. I'm wondering if natural ingredients have a spoil date, or does the saponification preserve them? Keep up the videos, they are entertaining :)
the pigment in beets turns colour in different ph. we did experiments when we were young with water from boiled red cabbage. we used it as a phone indicator
Just a note on your link to the Cuisinart stick blender. Cuisinart has now added a lock/unlock button on top of the stick blender. You have to push both the lock button on top and the speed button on the side. You can let off the lock button once the blender is going, but if you pulse (and don't we all?), you have to push both buttons again. It is awkward and difficult. if you look at the product picture on the link you provided, you'll see the button on the top. I ditched mine and now use Bramble Berry's new stick blender, which I love.
I am sorry to see that the beets color was burned by the lye, I think if we freeze the beet juice we will keep more of its benefits ( I am a soap beginner and I am just guessing), please correct mz if I am wrong
missed your videos. glad you're back. when I read beets, I first thought the beets would lend an amazing color and even color the skin. boy was I wrong. lovely soap.
thank you for the video :) I´m thinking about using beets for long time, but I wasn´t sure if it won´t color the skin, because it´s crazy when I juice it, I have to use gloves. doesn´t it color at all?
Although I agree with comments regarding your voice I compliment you on your music selection and excellent video editing skills. Next? Orange beets? Carrot or Turmeric for orange color - hmm. I missed the scent for this recipe-?
Suggestion for can you soap with it... maple syrup water? the byproduct of making maple syrup. Also is there anywhere I can buy your soaps?? I dont see the option on newt and fig
hi ma'am, thank you for the wonderful videos. I love all your videos and have watched every single one. I have a request. I have watched, read and done every single articles about body scrub. But I have not got any info on gel based scrub similar to Neutrogena body scrub. Also I couldn't formulate the one similar to tree hut sugar scrub, which isn't gel based.. can you please help me with gel based scrubs and the one similar to tree hut? please
Thank you for sharing your video. My question is what is the shelf life of the soap when you add fresh vegetable juices (carrots, beets, cucumber..etc)
Hi Gail, I think she forgot about my question... well I'll try to find from other source and if I find an answer I'll let you know^.^ Have a great weekend!
Well, I am not soaping101, and not an expert by any means, but in my experience the shelf life of soaps with vegetables would like one year. Maybe even more, *as long as you add your vegetable as juice instead of water when you use them for your lye*. Never after you have achieve trace. I think I mentioned in another post that while I see some people adding vegetables after trace, not sure it is a good idea. When you substitute juice for distilled water in your lye water, the vegetables go through the saponification process, and are not easily susceptible to mold or bacteria.
soaping101 i miss your lovely voice , like jena rolandes voice , i gusse you are so beautiful like her, or more and more youthful of cours, greets from Egypt!!
Would it be advisable to use the juice from jarred beets? I have a jar of Harvard beets in my pantry that I will never ever eat. (Hubby claimed he would eat them - they've been there for 4 years.) I have been eyeing that juice for a while now...
watching this video I just realized I am probably whipping my batter too much. At what point do I know is finished without having false trace? I am so confused. Thanks,
When I saw "beets" I thought, wow, the soap will have and amaaaaazing color but it didn't. :( These natural colors don't make it to the saponification process and disintegrate I guess. Pitty. Nice and useful video mrs. 101! Thank you :)
please give me the size of your soap after the cut (height and width of the side) answer me it is very important. Thank you I am a fan of you. I'm from Algeria
Another question, I would like to make a soap without artifitial colour. Is there any juice or fruit that gives a light pink colour? I was thinking to add beets but as I saw your video it doesn't give pink colour..
Madder root is supposed to give a red color, but mine comes out more of a mauve. (I've read that adding the madder to the lye water instead of as an infused oil gives a truer, darker color.)

I was expecting it to be bright red, which is what im looking for. Beautiful bar. Thanks for the video
I have been using beets in soaping for years it is so beneficial to ones health thank you for sharing love your video
Lol, 'farm to shower'. I bet people totally buy that. Thanks for making videos.
Very nice color! When I originally used beet powder i was hoping for pink, but this is nice and natural looking

What is the shelf life of fruit/ other juice made soaps made with soap base?
It looks good when it's cut but while you were making it I kept thinking it look like poop
Although I agree with comments regarding your voice I compliment you on your music selection and excellent video editing skills. Next? Orange beets? Carrot or Turmeric for orange color - hmm. I missed the scent for this recipe-?
Can you please tell me how to make melt and pour soap base at home
Wonder if beet powder would be more darker or at least show some reddish color.
Suggestion for can you soap with it... maple syrup water? the byproduct of making maple syrup. Also is there anywhere I can buy your soaps?? I dont see the option on newt and fig
Soaping 101...when you juice these veggies do you add water to them? and if you do, is that distilled water?
Could you use zinc instead of the titanium?

I'm a newbie to soap making so starting from melt and pour soaps can you post in those methods please
@@vyshnavivyshu5691 watch the food color making method of beetroot, plenty available on internet and use it in ur M&P
I've tried hibiscus flowers, can you take the challenge
Thank you for sharing your video.
My question is what is the shelf life of the soap when you add fresh vegetable juices (carrots, beets, cucumber..etc)
did you get an answer by chance?
Hi Gail,
Not yet..
curious if, by adding fresh veggies, would you need to then add a preservative...if she answers, please share. thanks for replying Monica.
Hi Gail, I think she forgot about my question... well I'll try to find from other source and if I find an answer I'll let you know^.^ Have a great weekend!

can you make a plain goat milk soap without additives or colourants?
Sure, it is now on my video to-do list.
soaping101 vielen dank! Frau Soaping101 :)
where is the lady who was narrating ???? i hope she in good health
It is me, I am fine (:
soaping101 i miss your lovely voice , like jena rolandes voice , i gusse you are so beautiful like her, or more and more youthful of cours, greets from Egypt!!
What a very sweet thing for you to say! Thank you
can you soap with tomatoes? Maybe plum tomatoes? They are more "meety" and have less water than other types.
Would it be advisable to use the juice from jarred beets? I have a jar of Harvard beets in my pantry that I will never ever eat. (Hubby claimed he would eat them - they've been there for 4 years.) I have been eyeing that juice for a while now...
could you cook the beets and puree and put in? or do you have to juice them?
Yes, using cooked beets would a viable alternative. The only difference would be that you may have beet chucks in your soap.
Nice but what are all the ingredients used and the measurements for each?
New Sub here, where can we buy finished soap ?!
Nice :)
Thanks for you videos just curious ...Does adding the beet to soap have any advantage to the skin?
MuazMum Creations this may answer your question: www.quora.com/What-are-the-benefits-of-beetroot-for-skin
would the colour survive better in HP soap?
I am afraid not.
watching this video I just realized I am probably whipping my batter too much. At what point do I know is finished without having false trace? I am so confused. Thanks,
where is the cut???
Can you use egg in soap, what would be the result?
When I saw "beets" I thought, wow, the soap will have and amaaaaazing color but it didn't. :( These natural colors don't make it to the saponification process and disintegrate I guess. Pitty. Nice and useful video mrs. 101! Thank you :)
The pH is high in CP soap that is why it turned brown. If you add the juice to a HP it will be more red but is still prone to morphing over time.
Is there a reason why you used fragrance oil instead of essential oil for this recipe
please give me the size of your soap after the cut (height and width of the side) answer me it is very important. Thank you
I am a fan of you. I'm from Algeria

Thank you!
Thank you!
Raspberry helps with pink and red colors ❤
I was hoping to see the unmolding and cutting too 😑
Darn I am so late! 50th!
Beets have magnesium, along with other beneficial stuff...wonder if it survives saponification?
Why are you only whisking to trace?
Why arnt you using a blender?
Because the trace is getting to thick too quickly then, you wouldn't have time to mix in the juice.
The sugars in the beets spreed up trace/the saponification process (in a hurry). Whisking instead of stick blending will keep it fluid longer.
can you do potato and ginger... I'd like to see those made
