To me, there is something magical about gathering ingredients from nature and using them in something you make from scratch.
In June I visited my grandmother and brought home some sand from the beautiful Fäboda beach. This week I made a special exfoliating soap with the sand. I’ll be thinking about the beach when I use this soap🌊
Thank you for watching❤️
○ Sand soap recipe:
I calculate my soap recipes with this lye calculator: soapee.com/calc...
Please wear proper safety equipment when making soap.
270 g olive oil (45%)
180 g coconut oil (30%)
120 g unrefined shea butter (20%)
30 g castor oil (5%)
152 g distilled water
10 g citric acid
90.3 g sodium hydroxide (84.3 if not using citric acid)
(35.7 % lye concentration, 5% superfat)
4 tbsp sand
2 tsp rhassoul clay
10 ml fragrance oil for a lightly scented soap (I used aqua minerals & sea kelp by gf)
Cure the soap for at least 4 weeks before using it on your skin.
○ Citric acid information
When citric acid and sodium hydroxide lye (NaOH) are combined, sodium citrate is created. Sodium citrate works as a chelator in soap.
A chelator traps metal ions such as calcium and magnesium that can be found in tap water.
These metal contaminants can cause rancidity and soap scum in handmade soap.
A chelator binds to these metals so that they can’t bind to the soap molecules. This way the soap won’t react with them and the soap's lather improves + shelf life increases.
Citric acid does not lower the pH of soap. Instead it consumes some of the lye and increases the superfat. Add 6 g extra lye for every 10 g of citric acid added to a soap recipe if you want to keep the superfat % at the same level.
How much citric acid should be added to soap?
Usage rate in bar soap is 1-2% of the oil weight.
How to use citric acid
Add citric acid to the distilled water and dissolve completely before adding the lye.

صابون رائع جدا اول مرة اشوف صابون بالرمل
Beautiful soap, calming music and the soap maker, you, are beautiful as well👏👏👏👍👍👍😁😁
Thank you, that's so sweet, you are beautiful too🙂
@@tellervo. Thank you for your kind words😁🙏🙏🙏
You just popped up in my queue and I’m so glad! I love your style and how soothing your videos are. Also, RECIPES! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m doing a series of soaps using local ingredients from the Tillamook Bay area in Oregon (USA). So far I’ve done a salt water soap and next is honey from a local bee keeper. Now I can add a sand soap! Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I love your idea of soaps with local ingredients and they sound absolutely wonderful🤗
Wow, absolutely amazing 👏🏽 😍
What a great idea and it looked so good. next time I head up our east coast where the beaches are white sand I’ll collect a little to try this soap.
Thank you, that sounds wonderful☺️
Awesome soap! Thank you for sharing.
I love your style of making soap I do CP and HP and after watching some of your videos I going to tried some. You have have a book or course on these method . 😍 Love it . I literally sit down with a cup of tea to watch your video very calming .
Aww thank you so much💝
Your videos are so calming & lovely. Thank you!!
Looks like a great soap for a DIY pedicure at home.
Thank you so much❤️ That would be perfect🙂
Wow! I live on the coast of eastern NC and now I want to go to the beach to collect some sand to make this soap! :-P I'm amazed at how it didn't all sink to the bottom. I tried soap tonight with poppy seeds and it feels like most of them when to the bottom.
Omg I have sand from my last vacation i thinking make a nice souvenirs lol 😆 But this video change my mind😍🥥🌴🥳🥳🥳Thank You for your time and videos 😉🤓
Awesome🤗🤗
Hey I am from India and all of your vidoes are really soothing and serene. i had a doubt that can we use only coconut oil instead of all four kinds of oil
This is inspiring 💕
Beautiful, simple soap. I love it!
Thank you🥰
Lovely video you always seem to get it just right..will definitely try out this recipe thank you God bless
Thank you🥰
So soothing to watch you make as always xx
❤
After testing the soap, would you have changed something in your recipe??
I'm afraid the sand will make it too harsh on the skin, have you considered grinding the sand with a blender to make it thinner ? (i don't know if that works)
Love this idea!
🥰
So calming, thank you
🥰
Hello, what does citric acid do for soap ??? Gonna try your avocado soap recipe. Love simplicity of your videos
Please check the description box for citric acid information! Thank you so much🥰
Hi Sara! Thank you for your informative tutorial video! Love all your videos....For this tutorial, wondering if there is any recommendation substitute/equvalivent for the rhassoul clay? Thank you for your all your calming and informative videos!😍
Thank you so much!! You can use another clay like kaolin clay or just leave it out😊
@@tellervo. thank you very much Sara! Will give it a try! Very excited about this! ❤️
I love your videos! Can you replace the distilled water with the water used to boil the sand with?
Thank you❤️ Hmm I'm not sure actually...
Brilliant
Magical may I use this recipe
Sure😊
i didnt know you can put sand in soap 🤔 very interesting
I tuoi saponi sono bellissimi
Hello! I love your videos, so well done and so informative!
I have a question regarding the boiling of the sand, is it only to sanitize it or is there another reason to boil it? I have some super fine sand and ocean water both from a beach I went to with my husband and would LOVE to use it in soap! ^^ Thank you!
Thank you!! That's correct it's for sanitizing purposes☺️
Thanks for sharing I do enjoy watching your videos, I was wondering where you bought the stainless pot? Thanks
Thank you so much, I bought it locally in Finland🙂
If you use citric acid in your soaps can you still claim they are PRESERVITIVE FREE? Is citric acid considered a preservitive. Thanks to anyone who can answer
This is a late reply, and im not a professional, but i do use food grade citric acid in my handmade soaps. Since its made from citric fruit, i consider it natural. I only use natural ingredients, other than the lye. I had the same question because i was making soap for many years before i decided for me, that if its food grade, it wouldnt be considered an un natural preserative, and they are all partly synthetic, from what i can see. I do like that it helps with soap scum, as well as it makes me feel more confident when using natural food ingredients in my soaps. It doesnt seem to be needed, but is a preference of the soap maker. This is not a professional answer, and is just my personal expierence with citric acid in soap. I do hope you found the answer you were looking for, and that you do try food grade citric acid in your soap. 😊
@@ronda4094 ohnthank you for your answer its appreciated
@@ronda4094 why do you feel safer using it when using foods? What does it do ? Could you explain?
@@jlo9207 i realize soap is naturally preserved, but since i use citric acid in my soaps now to prevent soap skum, i like that it is used to preserve food. Although not necessary, it fits together nicely for my soaps. This is just my preference, and not science.
Beautiful recipe ! Do you feel the need to use sodium lactate to make the soap last? Is the citric acid used instead?Thank you from portugal...
Thank you☺️ I haven't noticed a difference when using sodium lactate. Citric acid is used as a chelator, please check the description box for information.
C'est tellement bien fait merci beaucoup à vous c'est juste un plaisir de vous voir faire et d'apprendre avec vous merci
Merci beaucoup💝
muy bonito, felicidades
So nice and relaxing. Love this sand technique. Can you PLEASE link where you got your cutter from? 🙏🏾
Thank you🥰 the link is in the description box
@@tellervo. thanks SO much!
Linda a filmagem e poder ver você é muito bom obrigada 🇧🇷
Beautiful video! I have a question about the exfoliation of the sand in the soap - is it similar to pumice or more like salt, coffee or jojoba beads. I have some very fine and soft sand that I collected at a local beach and I want to make a very gently exfoliating soap with it but don't know what to expect. I have an awesome idea for it but I hate experiments that fail my expectation 😂
I'd say it's similar to salt! that sounds lovely🤗 and I feel the same way about failed experiments😁
Nice
super 👍🥰
Love your videos, instructive and relaxing
Thank you😊 Please check the descripiton box!
I'm ready, already liked. Now, let me watch. Thanks for posting
Thank you☺️
Please post update after use.
why is the spatula kept in while pouring?
It reduces air bubbles.
❤️
💕
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
