Loved how this turned out, and have been enjoying your videos immensely! According to Ann-Marie Faiola's Book Pure Soapmaking (page 62) the amount of salt to add is 1/2 teaspoon per pound of oils. It's added to the water and dissolved before the lye is added. It does nothing for the soap other than give you harder and longer lasting bars. The downside to adding salt is it can decrease the lather, but an experienced soapmaker knows what to do to balance that out. Sodium lactate on the other hand not only creates a harder longer lasting bar of soap but it also helps to make your bars shiny and it's a natural additive. It is added at 1 teaspoon per pound of oils to cooled lye solution (under 130F).

I'm going to make my first batch of soap soon.....how do experienced soapers add lather after the salt halts it. I'm trying a modified Bastille recipe with coconut oil and olive oil. Soap calc isn't giving me great cleaning or lather ratings, but good conditioning. How do I get better lather?

@mignonnesvenezvoirsi6368 4 жыл бұрын

Amanda Creates hi Amanda. For lather, add coconut oil. Personally I do not like bastille recipe. Too much olive oil. Start with a more balanced recipe coco/palm / olive, and then add a little castor, cocoa, Shea butter. Or other guest oils. Much nicer bars!

@TreeMarieSoapworks 5 жыл бұрын

I soap at 85-95 degrees. I would suggest to use a water discount, I normally use 25% "Water as a Percentage of Oils." Since the water is reduced, it goes through saponification more rapidly, often causing partial gel, so forcing gel is necessary. I use a heating pad on high or medium for 30 to 45 minutes and insulated. I don't expose it to air for 48 hours. I don't get soda ash anymore.

Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing 💖 As for the salt there are 2 options. One is called salt soap when you add the salt at trace. This results a harder bar of soap but if you add too much the soap tends to be crumbly and will not last long:( as the salt dissolves in use. The other option is called Brine saop. you dissolve the salt in the lye solution. In this case the soap is hard, creamy and nice but superfat should be higher than usual (at least 15%)

Hello, this is a more advance technique, but you can surely try it; that's how you learn. If you want the batter to stay fluid longer, you can dissolve 1 tsp PPO of sugar in your water before adding the lye to keep it fluid longer. I keep the soap in the mold and covered for 2 days, but don't remove it from the mold until the soap pulls away from the sides. 😊✨💕

Beautiful! I'm a newbie..can you explain your forced gel process? What temp do you put the heating pad at, for how long, and do you cover your soap? I've seen so many different techniques. Thanks in advance for answering all of these questions.

@TreeMarieSoapworks 5 жыл бұрын

This is an explanation from a tutorial I made for Elements Bath and Body. "Set your mold on top of the heating pad (set on medium). Then, cover it with plexiglass/cardboard and then cover and seal with plastic wrap. Next, insulate with blankets/towels. Set your timer for 30 minutes. When the timer rings, slide your hand up under the towels and feel the air. If the air is warm, turn off the heating pad. If it’s not warm, keep repeating in 30 minute increments until the air under the towels feels warm, then turn off the heating pad. At this point, make sure the mold is snug and keep it covered for at least 48 hours. The sooner the soap is exposed to air, the more likely it is to develop soda ash (a white film on the surface of the soap). Ambient temperature matters as well. If your home is warm, you probably won’t need the heating pad. You don’t have to put your soap through gel; you will get soap no matter if it goes through gel or not. This soap is made with a lower percentage of water to prevent glycerin rivers. With less water, soap goes through the gel phase faster, often causing partial gel. That’s why it often needs to be forced through gel. Other benefits of forcing soap through gel are that it releases from the mold easier, it is harder, it cures faster & lasts longer, the colors are often more brilliant, and it avoids partial gel."

No soap is not completely organic unless the lye is home made. You really wouldn't want it to be organic, because it is not easy to know the strength of it. Have you heard of the old lye soap? It was known for being harsh. Other than the lye, parts of the fragrances are not organic and parts of the color are not organic. These make of a small percentage of the bar. The other ingredients are organic. 😊

Regarding the salt: ss4 (salt solution 4 oz) 4oz of salt to the water...that's the way I do it. Brambleberry has a detailed "poor man's sodium lactate" formula on their blog.

@@TreeMarieSoapworks I should mention it's 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp per pound of soap....I use a 4 pound mold and that's what works for me. I use 4 oz (1/4 cup) for my 3# to 5# molds ...my main molds are 64 oz ....4 pounds. I just disolve it in the water before I add the lye. Then i proceed as normal. When I used different size molds...I kept the formula the same and called it ss4....and add water to dissolve it. I keep that in a bottle. It works so I didn't bother to change it for the different sizes.

How do you do a straight line marble effect instead of the swirl effect with melt and pour?

@TreeMarieSoapworks 2 жыл бұрын

Melt & Pour is very hard to design with, and I am not proficient in its design techniques. You may like my newest video, though; I made M&P from scratch for the first time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qMl6gsV9us2bXWQ.html 🧡💦💚

Hi Terry, thanks so much for your videos. I just subscribed and I'm about to order some of the supplies you use. I've never seen colourants mixed like that, but I think I'm going to try it! Can you please tell me where you get your squeeze bottle liners? I've looked on Amazon and Google with no success. Thank you! :)

@TreeMarieSoapworks 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you! The liner is just the Sealed Air packaging that you get in your boxes, with the top cut off.

So I have a question regarding colors. I’ve made 5 batches so far, and not a single one has produced the colors that I used. I’ve used standard food color, and oil based color that is designed for soap. My greens and blues turned pink and an orange pink, yellow seems to hold ok for some reason. Then using the oil colors, the blue and green take a large amount to have any result, where the purple had an extreme result with minimal used. I was going for an ocean blue, used half the bottle of blue and 1 drop of purple and I got a grey purple. I’ll see if I can post a video of my results for you to take a look at. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

So I was able to upload a short video of my trials. Let me know what you think about the color issues. Also any other advice would be appreciated. I’m just doing this for fun and holiday gifts so I don’t expect perfect bars.

They are lined with the sealed air packaging that you get in packages. I just cut them open across the top. That way they are not wasted. 💖😊

YES, what is the salt ratio?

@TreeMarieSoapworks 5 жыл бұрын

There are different opinions. I always heard 1/4 tsp per pound of Hard oils. I haven't tested this so I really don't how it works. Some are saying 1/4 to 1/2 tsp PPO.

Do you prefer sodium lactate in most of your soaps? Have you tried salt and if so how much did you find it cuts down on the lather? Okay, the newbie won’t ask anymore questions today 😜

@TreeMarieSoapworks 5 жыл бұрын

I haven't tested the difference. I have just always used sodium lactate. (I like that it is natural and that you don't have to take that extra step to dissolve the salt in the water.) Are you in the FB group Saponification Nation? You can search things like this or if you can't find it, you can ask. It's a wonderful group!😊

Can we add any chemicals for specific skin needs like moisturizer, antibacterial, deodorant etc?

@TreeMarieSoapworks 5 жыл бұрын

This is a quote form my friend Kelley who is a microbiologist. "Soap causes the bacteria to become less adherent to your skin. When you rinse, the bacteria goes down the drain. It’s quite effective actually!" So soap is naturally antibacterial. You can add extracts and other ingredients of make them more moisturizing, not chemicals though. I am not sure about deodorant though. In America we can't make and claims on soap other than that it cleans.

Are ultramarines natural colorants?

@TreeMarieSoapworks 5 жыл бұрын

Ultramarines are chemically identical to those found in nature, but without all the heavy metals, which you don't want. They are made in a lab. In this case; I consider them better than natural because then don't contain, lead, mercury, and arsenic...
