Best Soap Swirls for Beginners + Soap Swirling Tips and Tricks | Bramble Berry
Рет қаралды 53,522
Күн бұрынWant to create beautiful swirly cold process soap, but feeling a little intimated? These three swirl techniques are suitable for beginner soap makers. They each result in a slightly different look.
All three techniques require a basic understanding of the soap making process, and the concept of trace. Before trying swirls, we recommend getting a batch of soap that is only one color (or uncolored) to help set you up for success when swirling.

This was an interesting video! I really enjoyed the comparison between the three, but they are all too pretty to pick one over another! I would like to chime in with the first swirling technique I ever used... the panic, plop, and pound technique that you do when it gets thick too fast! I could barely get a spatula through it to attempt a swirl! Then I pounded the mold on the countertop to release the air bubbles so hard that all the birds outside the window flew away! 😊 It was still fun, and the soap turned out nice! (The birds came back eventually, too.)

The large glass measuring container holds 64 oz, the smaller easy pour containers hold about 30 oz. The last soap is based on the Pumpkin Sandalwood Soap Project and yields about 3lbs of soap.

Hi Anne Marie, which blender is suitable for this purpose? A 400W blender is ok? Also, if we use water colors instead of mica, do they work? Thanks so much for your video ❤

A 400W blender is perfectly acceptable. You can use water soluble colors for your soaps, they work just as well as micas!

What is the temperature of your oils that you are working with? When you mix the colors with oil. Do you need to count for the weight of the oils? Thanks
@bramble-berry 4 ай бұрын
Once the lye water and the oils have cooled to 130° F or below (and are ideally within 10 degrees of each other), you can add the lye water to the oils and stick blend until thin trace. After they're blended, you can add your colors.

Hello do you cover the soap? İsn.t there a gel phase how many days should I wait
@bramble-berry 8 ай бұрын
You can cover the soap with a cardboard dome or a towel if you want to gel it. You do not have to gel your soap batter. Gel happens within the first 8 hours of pouring your batter into your mold. We recommend waiting up to 1 week before unmolding and cutting your bars.

I always soap with goats milk and i have trouble keeping it at a thin trace. Any suggestions
@bramble-berry 9 ай бұрын
Try adding the Goat's Milk at the end, rather than as part of the lye solution. Working with cooler temperatures can definitely make it difficult to maintain a thin trace. www.brambleberry.com/how-to/soap/art0073-how-to-add-lye-to-milk.html

Question... When does the lye become NOT dangerous? Kinda confusing with it being so dangerous then you can put it on the skin. This is so interesting. I'm want to give soap making a try.
@bramble-berry 6 ай бұрын
Once the oils react with the lye, it's turned into soap and is no longer harmful for your skin. Most saponification happens within the first week after making soap!

You can make swirls with melt and pour though they will not look the same as a cold process recipe swirl. This recipe gives you as close to a cold process swirl in melt and pour as you can get! www.brambleberry.com/articles-and-projects/projects/melt-and-pour/sea-clay-and-charcoal-soap-project/PS000241.html

This is a way off topic but I am making a turmeric soaps for acne and hyperpigmentation skin and was wondering should I superfat my soap, if so by how much?
@bradevans7 9 ай бұрын
@TessieDobey If acne is an issue, I'd have a low to zero super fat. 5% is what is default on Bramble Berry, but I'd look at their formulations for face soaps and see what the superfat is.
@bramble-berry 9 ай бұрын
The amount of superfat in your recipe really depends on personal preference. You may want to make a few small test batches to see which you prefer. A lower superfat will result in a slightly more cleansing bar, and may have more lather. But there isn't a wrong answer, it's all about what you like!

@@TessieDobey Honestly, I'd follow BB's suggestion here and do 1 really low super fat tiny test batch, then one with the standard 5. That should give you a good idea about which one is best for your skin and then adjust up or down 1-2% based on what you think of it. It will be a subtle difference I think.

I have looked everywhere for the ex large size glass mixing bowl, amazon, your company, other soap companies, etsy and more, I can not the size you are using. I hope you carry every piece that you use in your tutorials, or links to them someday. I'm still gathering supplies, it's taking me over 3 months. Amazon does not carry that size, I'm almost sure, because I've looked at least 5 different times. :(

It's because it takes a couple of hours to "solidify" and she had one ready to show. It's nothing bad.
