I really wish you were talking in your videos and explaining while you go. You are extremely talented! It’s hard for a busy person like myself to actually set down and watch videos all day long. If your videos had voice with no music, I would listen to every one you have. It would probably help a lot with your views as well. Just some advice. I love all your videos I’ve seen this far.
Hi, my mould is 7.5” (19cm) x 3” (8cm) x 2.7” (7cm). If you would like to calculate your mould capacity, simply multiply the length by the width by the height. Also you can formulate your own recipe here: soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp
This mild, unscented soap contains calendula infused olive oil which provides wonderful soothing and moisturising benefits and ideal for sensitive skin :)
If you use too much water, it takes longer time, perhaps up to 4 months. If you use just a couple of tablespoons, the curing time takes 6 to 8 weeks, as usual.
You can’t just substitute one oil for another in an already calculated recipe, but you can calculate your own recipe here using the oils you have: soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp
Hi! Usually I put my jars with indigo powder or herbs in the double boiler or the crockpot and infused them for 2 - 3 hours, then I let them cool down in the double boiler or the crockpot. If you are interested, you can find two videos about it on my channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8o9LzkpHsSA.htmlsi=NQ83ZkZNMNsLxFn1 and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NCyjlN1JbQg.htmlsi=BRhF7mkC2cE63Oka
Hello. The shelf life of the egg soap is the same as other natural soaps. The yolks are transformed during the saponification so technically there are no eggs left in the soap :)
For making indigo infused olive oil: 1 teaspoon of indigo powder for every 56g (2oz) olive oil. For pink soap I used the indigo infused olive oil instead of regular olive oil. Do not shake the jar with infused oil before measuring. For blue soap I used 10% indigo infused olive oil + the regular olive oil. You need to shake the jar with infused oil before measuring.
FINE JOB .. I need to see how you made the TWO colors!! They compliment each other beautifully ... I think it helped the design for the whtie to get so thick ... it was an interesting detail. Very good job!
@@hootingowlsoapworks5042very interesting, thick and thin with white and black ... I can see how that would make a difference. just stunningly beautiful!!
Also, it may have been here before but the recipe is not listed. i am goin gto try the technique on my favorite recipe - it seems youre using all of the 100% settled/unstirred oil for the pink portion and about 10% mixed olive oil for the green portion, the balance uncolored olive oil. About how much do you use of each portion for the white and black?
Did you cut the tops off? That seems like a lot of waste. If you want less lumpy tops, bang in an ounce of coconut milk right before spooning into the mold. try to sweep the batter up the walls of the mold a little but, then it will look smoother, later.
