Who woulda thought you could make soap in a shaker this way. brilliant. The soap looks cool, rice bubbles hehe. The honey will provide a beautiful lather I have tried pure olive oil with 3% sugar.

@EllysEverydaySoapMaking 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks George, yeah I calcualated the honey and it was only 1.7% of oils. Could probably use more. If I was using a stick blender I would have just blended it into the oils I think. It's a fun method, I've been using it for my test batches for ages!

Hi Elly! I really enjoyed your sharing today and the idea of experimenting. I made my first batch of soap this week on my little farm, after watching all of your sharing. It was exciting and fun. I am not sure how to gauge if it was successful, but it’s beautiful. It emulsified quickly which was tricky but otherwise it went well. I am not sure how to share or to show you, but I thought it fun to tell. I am a community herbalist and teacher, so my olive oil was infused with calendula. It was an oat and honey beginner soap. Warm regards from Norway! x

I have added honey to a couple of batches, but not in the lye solution. I put mine in just after trace along with some herbs. The soap was really nice in that it felt like it put a nice protective layer on your skin, not heavy or anything, but lite and refreshing.

Thanks Tracy, yes shaking is definitely faster than stirring. You could use a jar, but glass is a no-no for soap (it's etched by the lye).

Would you be able to add the honey after you mix the water and lye? Thanks for the video I am going to try it as I have thought about making castile soap for a long time.

@EllysEverydaySoapMaking 3 жыл бұрын

That's how I normally add honey if I'm using a stick blender, but I'm not sure it would mix through well enough with just shaking. You could try it though! :)

Hi Elly, I love your videos. Not sute if you already know, but I’ve heard that if you line your mold you don’t get that texture. Haven’t tried it yet myself.

Hi Elise, yes you wouldn't get the silicone rash if you used a log mould with liner, but the point of using silicone moulds is that you don't have to line them, and they would be very hard to line :)

This was good fun to watch Elly. I guess if you had't hurried the firming up process by putting in the oven it would have eventually hardened without the 'silicone rash'?

@EllysEverydaySoapMaking 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Marion, glad you liked it! Yes, it would have hardened by itself but in that mould it wouldn't have gelled, and I like my soap to go through a full gel phase. The only trick I know to avoid silicone rash is to wait for the soap to firm up a bit before it goes into the oven, but it was taking forever to set up so I pushed ahead, hence the rash/bubbles. I'm keen to try again another day when I have more time because I love gelled soap and love my silicone moulds! I got silicone rash in my nice flower moulds once. Wasn't pretty :(

@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thanks for that explanation. I am all for gelling my soap too and honestly the silicone rash wouldn't worry me a bit. I have the flower moulds too and next time I am in Kmart will look out for the rectangular ones for small batches like yours. They weren't available when I was last in there but that was a while ago. I find the big rectangular wooden box ones online with silicone inserts are a bit costly for me right now with our current joint medical expenses. 🐾

If you wanted to make this soap I would just make a larger batch in any old container (a rectangular tupperware or something?), line the mould with paper and gel the soap as you normally would for a log mould batch. I am going to make another batch of this, larger, with my stick blender and do it that way. I like my silicone moulds but log/block mould batches are great too (much easier to gel!).

@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I would it be less likely to develop silicone rash if it was wrapped up and put in an esky/insulated box instead of CPOPing?

@EllysEverydaySoapMaking 3 жыл бұрын

Probably, but it may not have enough heat to fully gel without the added warmth of the oven. If the oils were warmed that may work.. Depends on the ambient temperature/climate too! Is cold here now.
