I would suggest making a simple no color, no fragrance batch for your first batch. Use the distilled water ice cubes for 1/3 of your water weight. That make the smell less intense.

Gorgeous soap--as usual! Your comment about the yellow not being quite as bright as you'd've liked is a challenge I've had. I found that adding a bit of neon orange to my orange mica (or yellow neon to yellow mica) at about 1/4 tsp neon to 3/4 tsp mica really helps the color to pop without going full neon (though I DO love hard-core neon!). :) Thanks for the great video and sharing your talents with us!

I love your soaps. A question: I want to try to colour my soaps with herbs and vegetables. If I was going to add those natural colourants to this soap, is there anything I should be aware of? Can I go on and add my botanicals on top of your recipe? And what about fragrance? If I don't use fragrance, would the oils have an "oily" smell? Thanks for sharing.

@TreeMarieSoapworks 4 жыл бұрын

There is no need for fragrance. People say that my unscented soaps smell like "soap," so no oily smell. If you put botanicals on top of your soap, they often turn brown. Wait around 20 minutes to add the botanicals to the top and that helps. I have never had much luck; perhaps that's because I gel my soaps. In soap most botanicals turn brown. Calendula is an exception. Soap colored with natural ingredients often fades when exposed to light. You will just have to research and test it in small batches. Best of luck to you! 💛

You had mentioned the humidity and it taking longer to cure. I live in Illinois with the Ohio River 2 blocks from my house and I had noticed my soaps take longer to be ready to unmold. Do you use a dehumidifier to help??

@TreeMarieSoapworks 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, that would explain it. I run a fan in the room that I cure my soaps in. Try turning them every few days. You could use a dehumidifier in the same room, just make sure to turn them in that case because they can cure unevenly and bow. Do you use a water discount? I use "25% water as a % of oil weight" in soapcalc. Also, sodium lactate helps especially if you are using lots of olive oil. What is your ratio of saturated to unsaturated fats in the upper right corner of your soapcalc printout? I use 43:57-ish for swirls. Make sure your unsaturated number doesn't go any higher than 57%.

@barefoot3077 4 жыл бұрын

@@TreeMarieSoapworks I will try the fan idea, I just tried the sodium lactate and it worked much better. My water is at 32%, I haven't tried to water discount yet but it is worth a go.

Ah, thanks for the trypophobia warning! This one didn't really bother me personally, but I can see why it would squick some people. I've actually started collecting the air packaging bags to use for various things now, thanks to you mentioning it before. They look gorgeous! 😍 I actually saw someone else asking on their video about colour coming out less (intense after gel phase... IIRC she mentioned she thought it was related to the very big water discount she was using - I don't know if that's any use, though. It surprised me because I'd always heard that gel phase means more vivid colours generally, but now you've mentioned it too.

@TreeMarieSoapworks 4 жыл бұрын

I have a touch of that phobia and soap usually doesn't bother me either, but I can see that is would bother some. Gelling usually does make colors more intense. It just is tricky with some colors. I keep thinking that some colors will work "this time." It bothers me that I can't understand it. I am going to have to do some testing. I don't think it would be from the water discount though. 🤔

@JustAnotherBuckyLover 4 жыл бұрын

@@TreeMarieSoapworks Well that's what the few people I saw who commented said too... but the soaper was fairly convinced. I wondered if maybe it was a temperature thing because I believe that the water content affects the temperature at which gelling happens? So maybe the super heavy water discount meant having to get it to a temperature that somehow affected it (IIRC she was using something like mid-20s for water percentage?). But again, I'm just spit-balling what could possibly have done that to make them okay at higher water levels but less intense at lower ones from the bit of soap science I know.

It would be nice to crack the code! I know that a water discount causes saponification to happen more quickly, so because of that, I force gel. Otherwise, the gel doesn't tend to get out to the edges. I did use 25% "water as a percentage of oil weight." Can you give me a link to the video, please? I would like to check it out.

@@TreeMarieSoapworks Sure, I'll go find it - aha here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJmCd5xzz7mmiok.html She was also using a yellow mica now I've watched it again, and someone else in the comments mentioned about yellows being a little funny, and someone else suggested maybe it's a reaction between the lye and the mica/pigment in it directly. Either way, if you figure it out, I'd love to know why.

I am even more convinced that it comes from gelled soap. Her partial-gel is probably to blame on the water discount, but it is clear that the gelled soap caused the yellow to go pale. High water soaps gel at a lower temperature. Lower water means it's harder to gel, often causing parital-gel. That's why I force gel. Thank you so much for sharing the link. 😊

I just realized today that you measured your lye into a coffee filter. Does this cut down on the static problems with lye?

@TreeMarieSoapworks 3 жыл бұрын

No, I only use that method in the summertime when the humidity is high, otherwise, the static is bad.

I wonder something that is not connected to the soap making, just curiosity about the language. Why americans use so much "my" for everything? My butter, my oil, my mold...my my my. I tried to translate it to my language but sound so possessive, we don't use "my" for everything. Is it slang or it's how it should be said?

Can't you just omit the coco butter and shea butter in some of your videos. It just irritating to watch when you just don't have enough Ingredients to make one. Can't you make one without those complex ingredients and with the simple/readily ingredients. Consider this If you bother your subscribers

I pick my ingredients to have a balanced recipe. It needs to be a hard bar but moisturizing. How about you let me know the oils and butters you have available. I have a recipe that I used olive oil, coconut oil, and castor oil, but I don't use that often because I don't consider it to be balanced. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icl7epN50MC4f58.html
