Very cute idea. There is a popcorn mold that would be awesome with this. www.vanyulay.com/product/silicone-molds/all-silicone-molds-by-monica/popcorn-embeds-6-cavity-silicone-mold-2140/
Thanks for your video. I made your recipe today but I don’t know what I’ve done wrong but it is a hard block and not pliable like yours. Argh! Is there anything I can do to fix this? I’m sure I followed your instructions but it just isn’t right. Please help
Yes! I agree. You have less mold issues with cold process soap. Mostly because of the lye, but I have still had issues with it. Melt and pour definitely can see the mold within a few days.
Sorry I uploaded it and it had some issues. RU-vid flagged it copyright infringement because of the royalty free background music that I used in many of my videos. They took the sound out.
Thank you. Could you use your recipe to make soap dough sprinkles with an extruder and then use them to decorate bath bombs or bath salts (aka bath dust)?
Yes! Definitely. I don’t have those tools but I rolled them up into smaller pieces and let them dry out. I just found this a faster easier way to make soap dough without so many steps. It works for me!
?Alicia, if you can comment on your video stating 16.06 oz water, but "chapters" state 10.6 oz water. Is the 6 oz used to soak the clay? Thank you so much for this informative video, and I am wanting to make my first DSC soap.
If its separation was caused by the FO, the only thing I can think of is to cook it out. I would be very careful and do a PH test after. It’s not something I have ever done myself.
Don’t mean to be awful, but why don’t you just add plain salt into your lye water instead of going through the extra work. I Measure my water add salt & sugar to it mix, then add my lye. Save time and trouble. Sodium lactate is so expensive. My soap turns out perfect.
Hi, I live in Las Vegas and I'm looking for someone local who can turn my breast milk into soap or anything else beneficial. I have a lot. I'm on this medication for 2 weeks so I can't give my milk to my baby but I'm pumping like crazy and I don't know what to do with the milk I don't want to waste it I probably have three quarts full and it's just day three I'll be on this medication for another 11 days. Could you recommend a bulk recipe for a moisturizing soap with a little exfoliation for me to use? And another recipe for the baby and a list of everything i need ?
You can modify this recipe to your needs. I have a few other Breastmilk soap recipes on my channel. Colloidal oatmeal would be a nice exfoliating additive. I would highly recommend adding milk to your bath water or your babies bath water. It’s conditioning to the skin and reduces a lot of blemishes.
I just made my first swirled blue and white soap and it was so pretty. The next day it had these little oozing brown spots all over it that looked oily. I wasn't sure if it was FO or something else. 😢
Thank you Alicia for sharing this video with us! Let me see if I got this right. 4 oz. of SFIC Soap base 1/4 tablespoon Crafter’s Choice Beer Powder 1/4 tablespoon Crafter’s Choice Glycerin 1/4 tablespoon Fragrance Oil Is it 1/4 of a tablespoon or 1/4 of a teaspoon? Thank you!
Good question. In my experience melting point has little to do with the large clumps in the soap coloring. It’s more important that all the pigment is fully dispersed. Using color blocks or liquid glycerin makes a huge difference when adding color. I might do a follow up video on this.
I thought that my problem with separation was the palm oil. It was the first time using palm oil and my first time adding a fragrance oil. Your video was very helpful. I will try the same recipe without fragrance oil .wish me luck.
Good luck! It never hurts to run your recipe through the soap calculator. I was pretty positive it was not my soap recipe since I had used it many times.
Thank you for this insightful video. I made my soap, cut it after 48hours and left it to cure for about 4weeks. After which I weighed for 2 days after and the weight was consistent but 7weeks later, the weight had dropped by 0.14oz. I want to start up a business and I want to know how best to manage this in order not to mislead my customers
Good question. The only thing I can think of is your scale could be off or you are not placing your soap directly centered on the scale. Also, make sure you rotate your soap as it cures . Once I left my soap on one side for a really long time while it cured… I could tell the water content did not fully evaporate from that one side. Good luck. It’s a lot of learning.
I typically get mine from whole sale supplies plus. It’s the crafters choice brand. I’ve only used theirs and the one brambleberry sells. Wsp seems to have a good quality product and it works well for me.
