You made my son's Christmas. I usually get him your Earth or moon soap and stick it in his stocking. He got so mad because there was not one in his stocking this year. I ordered him a bunch of your soaps that he got really excited to see you make and it was one of the last gifts he opened. I just left the package untouched and just wrapped it up. He got so excited to see that you wrote a little note on the order form. He has a little shelf above his bed that he can put his special trinkets on and your soaps are on his shelf.

Ellen I LOVE the beer powder and use it in my shampoo bars as well. Back in my country we use beer as a hair spray, yes specially when you have big events parties. Anyhow I know you love masculine fragrances and WSS has water and wood one that is fabulous. Soap as a dream retention is amazing and no discoloration. I think you will like it. Beautiful soap as always.

I love masculine fragrances, also! My husband insists I make his bars masculine scented and my son loves his shaving bar be masculine. I love the top. Folks kind of going away from making that top, but I have always loved that form! I love making beer soap as I was a maltster (I became a master malt maker 20 yrs. in) in a brewery for 34 years + 2 years in brewing, so I well know the Chemistry and skin benefits in beer. I guess I am behind after retirement because I didn't know about beer powder and that you told me about the powder is wonderful!!!!! Thank You so much! I will have to try it! Happy New Years 👍🎆🤗

I made beer soap using the beer, and this sounds way faster 🙂 And yes, you do respond to comments - you have responded to all of mine 🙂 Glad you are back and publishing videos - I have learned from you and Jerika - in this bath and body journey. You two are the BEST !!!!!

I just tried something similar with my own frozen goat milk recipe. I used 1/2 goat milk and 1/2 aloe vera juice frozen and added all the powders like you did and the batter came out so creamy and smell so good. I tried another one a few days ago without the aloe vera juice and the aloe powder just all goats milk. The Aloe Vera batch came out a lot creamer I think. I'll see in a few days the difference in both. Wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing your version. I would have never thought about using the Aloe Vera or the powder aloe.

I make two patchouli soaps, one with sandalwood a s one with cedarwood essential oils. The sandalwood version is by far the favourite.

@angieverdine20317 ай бұрын
I love patchouli! Anything patchouli. I was wondering if u could do a deep dive in to fragrances for the newbies that watch you. I followed ur soap calc video and I get it! Lol but the fragrance, the IFRA, the percents…. Ohhh my! My math skills are the worse! Help!!??? I look forward to all of ur videos, your soaps are beautiful.!
@MsAubrey7 ай бұрын
The percentage for fragrance (as dictated by the IFRA) is a percentage of the oils used in the soap. So, let’s say you’re doing a standard bar mold that holds roughly 50 oz. TOTAL batch weight. Your recipe would require 30-35 oz. of oils. Say the percentage that the IFRA states you can use is 5% (like here in this video); it would be 35 x .05 (which is the same as 5%) = 1.75 oz. (By Weight) of fragrance. Hope that helps!

Hello thank you for sharing your knowledge, it has helped me to understand quite a bit! I was interested in doing biblically themed soaps, such as fragrances the bible mentions like spikenard from John 12:3. come to find out: authentic or pure spikenard is costly. I'm new to soap in general and probably will attempt it one day with that scented oil. But if you give it a shot I would enjoy seeing it used and your imput on how it reacts and whatnot. Thank you and bless you all in Jesus Christ
