This soap is not for laundry. It's a body soap.

I buy my fragrances from vendors that specialize in soap making supplies. You can find some on Amazon as well. Just make sure they are safe to use for soap making.

When you mix lye and water, it is an exothermic reaction (releases heat), so cold water is good.

You can use it after 6 weeks. Yes you can use mica (for soaps) to color your soaps. You can use 1tsp per pound of oils.

Yes recipes are provided with 100% olive oil, 100% Coconut oil and bastille soap video. I purchased the stamp from amazon. Here is the link- Check out this list Soapmaking Supplies from Geeta Lee www.amazon.com/shop/craftwithgeeta/list/32M92YW02V09E?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_aipsflist_aipsfcraftwithgeeta_X9BV2KNJQA8B044EKSRA&language=en_US

Yes, it would need 6-8 weeks of curing. Place it in a cool and dry place with good air flow. Thank you!

I am glad it was helpful 😀

Namaste! No, you can't replace OO with peanut oil. You will need to add your oils in soap calculator to get exact amounts of everything, especially lye.

Hi Lisa! I didn't understand your question.

@@CraftwithGeetathey’re asking if this recipe can also be used for a liquid soap, I assume not lol

Yes, it can be a liquid soap, but lye used will be potassium hydroxide instead of sodium hydroxide that I used here. Also, the process is very different to make liquid soap. Thanks for clarifying the question! 🙂

No, it wouldn't. It's a soap after this process. 🧼

@@CraftwithGeeta thank you :)

Please cure for atleast 6 months! I know it's longer than usual soaps. If you're interested in a shorter cure time soap, you can use this recipe- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrV7gNuVypfVoH0.htmlsi=HvN_XeYMPocVdxva

Yes, you can add 1 tsp/pound of oils.

For curing, place your soap in a cool and dry place with good air flow. Thank you!

😁

It could be affected by the type of Olive oil used. I use Olive oil pomace. If someone uses extra virgin OO, it could be a different color.

BTW I just checked and didn't find any green castille soap.

Hi, you can get wax stamp kits on Amazon. Here is my Amazon link for the same, if you would like to have a look. I will get a small commission if you will use my link (at no extra cost to you). Thank you! amzn.to/3vSF8nv

No, Olive oil pomace will actually say "pomace" on the can or bottle. I personally have not seen pomace in regular grocery store. I buy it in bulk from webstaurant.com

I'm happy to hear that it worked out for you! 😃

Yes this one is pretty simple (If you don't mind the smell.of Pine-Tar). I am glad you liked it. 😀

Cocoa powder- yes. You can use 1tsp per pound of oils. Neem oil- No, not in this. You will need to make a new recipe to use neem oil in soap. This ensures that you're using right amount of lye and other ingredients.

You can wear a face shield to avoid it. I personally mix it outside for ventilation and do not lean over the container to avoid fumes. Also, if you mix it outside, stand in the direction where wolind isn't blowing towards you. That way, fumes won't move towards you. I hope I have answered your question.

Do you mean if you are using 2lbs of oils to make soap? If so, do the calculation using 32oz (2lb = 32oz), instead of 16oz as in video.

Yes you can. Make sure you check manufacturer's recommended usage amount and use accordingly.

Thank you!

Awesome! Yes I make Cold process soaps. I always feel like I am working in a chemistry lab. For the cure time wait, I don't think it burns the skin once it is solid. It will just not feel as good on skin if you use it right away. But definitely need to wait at least 24-48 hours based on the soap recipe. Thanks for sharing your experience! Very interesting 😀

I used cardstock.
