Making Lemon Myrtle Soap Bar PLUS making hydrosol with lemon myrtle leaves

- Welcome to another Patreon Design soap challenge. This months suggestion came from Meggan and she wanted to see me make a soap using Lemon Myrtle leaves, a lemon myrtle scent and a bright yellow.
As my mum has a Lemon myrtle, I decided to make a hydrosol to use in the soap and dried some leaves to use as an exfoliant
I got my Copper still from Alembics NZ: www.alembics.co.nz/
Thank you for watching!

It is so amazing that hydrosol is produced directly from natural materials! To think that such carefully refined raw materials are used to make soap... I admire you so much! anyway! The distiller(?) is so beautiful!
Thank you 🧡 you can make some wonderful hydrosols and I use them in many of my products, including lotion. Thank you for watching
Hey there Keeley, I think it's wonderful that you're taking such a natural approach, these look fantastic and I'm sure that the fragrance is out of this world.
Hi Patrick, I love making hydrosol and using it in product. I'm looking forward to trying this one.
Wow，what a details of work & efforts to make this wonderful Patreon soap, the soap just speaks for itself!!!! I'll surely grab a bar or two when it's cured, I just love natural soaps with essential oils!!! My mom loves it too ❤️❤️❤️
You'll love this soap. Should be ready in 4 weeks 🧡
So fun watching the whole process of distillation and making of this type of soap. Enjoyed very much.
Cheers & Blessings👍🤗
Its such a great process to do. Thank you for watching 🧡
That’s quite the process with the end result being unique. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
Thank you ❤ Its a process I love doing. It's so relaxing when the smell fills the room
I love that you used locally sourced and self processed! I am so glad this one came out and how you went with it :D
Definitely can't get more local than the backyard 😆 I saved some leaves to make tea with. Your bar will be on the way in 4 weeks
Thank you I have some Myrtle trees and I love making tea with the leaves and these soaps look so fabulous
Lemon myrtle tea is so refreshing 🍵
Sumple and elegant. Thanks for the detail on dustilling. Im going to look into getting one to make hydrosol. I love the look of the top.
Thank you for watching 🧡 I love my still and use it a lot
That hydrosol process is so fascinating, and darn it now I want an Alembic lol :)
It's such a beautiful process. It's hard to capture how magical it is with all the different smells. 🧡
I think you are correct! Every time I ever put any kind of plant material, whether fresh or dried, it turns brown. Doesn't hurt the soap any, it is totally visual. That has been my experience with plant matter. It turned out beautiful.
Thank you ❤ I suspect it's the high PH levels that discolour botanicals. These leaves will still be a lovely exfoliant.
@@SoyandShea oh yes! and it is a beautiful soap. you did a wonderful job! ❤
@@meflagg3741 Thank you ❤
Loved watching the whole process of this video,your soap is absolutely stunning. I love lemon myrtle the colours are beautiful.Thank you for sharing 😍 x
Thank you 🧡 the lemon myrtle smells amazing.
I love lemon myrtle!!
They smell so good and make great tea too 🍵
Absolutely stunning!! I want a distillery so bad. That was so cool.
I drooled over them for ages before finally getting one. I don't regret it 🧡
Beautiful batch Keeley love the process used I’d love to smell it lol. Thanks for sharing.😊
Thank you 🧡 it should be ready in 4 weeks so maybe you will get to smell it.
Love lemon myrtle
It's a beautiful aroma. I love it as tea too
Wish we had smellavision. What a great soap. Love that you made your hydrosol. Just yummy goodness.
I wish I could share the complete experience of making hydrosol. It's such a great process and they're lovely in products 🧡
Thanks for all the great info, beautiful soap too
Thank you 🧡
This one sounds amazing
Thank you 🧡 it's looking so good
Brilliant. I've an idea planned to make soap with the youth group and loved this video. We've implemented our own Bush Tucker Garden, so look forward to seeing what scents we can make
Have fun! There are so many possibilities 🧡
I just love your copper equipment i checked it out but a bit pricey for my own use. Ill watch you full of envy when you use it on camera.
It took me a couple of years to save for mine but I love it and use it often.
Also what temperature do you use to dehydrate the leaves and how long does it take thanks
It really depends on your dehydrator. I set mine to the herbs setting and let it go for about 10 hours
Hey Keeley, do you still do farmers markets?
No I don't do any markets now. I'm open 5 days a week, including weekends, so there no time for it.
