Eek! Please don’t scrape the metal bell of your stick blender on your crock pot 😮 Not only sounds dreadful but you’ll be scratching your cooker 😢. Am curious to know if your first Milk Soap’s milk was unfrozen, to get such a reaction? // The very second soap I made was a Milk, I froze the milk quotient, and the resultant diminished lye fumes inspired me to freeze all my liquids since. That was 14 years ago…no going back. Your Salt Bar sounds luscious - wonderful ingredients. Actually Coconut 🥥 Oil is ‘cleansing’ as opposed to drying. If you use a 20% sf for your Coconut Oil quotient you’ll account for that extra cleansing quality and create a more nourishing bar 😊. I’ll do that in my Salt bars and leave any other oils/butters at 5% - it just requires an extra calculation. Worth a try. 😊// Looking forward to seeing how your bars turn out, as I’m only part of the way through your video. 🌸
Thanks for watching my videos-- I hope they can help in some ways. I actually dissolve my indigo powder in very hot water (just enough water to smooth out my indigo powder). It takes a few minutes to completely dissolve, but it's worth it.
Dandelions are very healing inside and out active pain relief for arthritis i make salve every year for my family and friends. We have tons growing in my garden here in the 🇬🇧 i never spray chemicals or weed kill them, they are the 1st flower that bees go to after hibernation and you can eat every part of it.
I am a 18-wheel truck driver that does flatbed.... I've been looking and studying soap making since August. I bought the makesy soap kit in August. But haven't found time to do it. Me and my wife live in the truck. I've been looking for hot process videos. Your channel came up. I've been studying since August... And have a few books. Thank you for your videos.. please don't give the trolls the satisfaction of their posting comments. Ignoring their comments is far-reaching than saying something about it. God bless and I hope you continue making hot process videos..
Hi Valerie. Great video. Thanks for sharing. I love the oils you used in the recipe. Wonder if I can use the same lye concentration if I wanted to do cold process. Appreciate your reply.
Thanks for watching, and I apologize for just replying- I just saw your comment. Yes, you absolutely may use these oils for CP soap. I would imagine that you would change your water amount, though.
It's funny ,I had forgotten all about using CISCO when I went from Melt and pour to my early days of Hot Process, I wouldn't th I nk of using it now! Lol
Marcia from Michigan here. Last summer I made soao using Dandelion infused oil & tea, also made wild violet soap & salve & lemon balm soap & salve. All my family & friends love these products. They are the best. I'm going to try your recipe this Spring. Thanks.
So beautiful 🤩! I have some dandelion I brought from my birthday trip last September and I infused using some olive oils. Haven made a soap yet, but used on salves. It’s just a wonderful herb
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN, Teacher Valerie😁😁😁 Your apron…oh my…IT'S SIMPLY ADORABLE ❤❤❤ and it brought a very carefree, sunshine and happy chuckle on your face😁😁😁 Thank you very much for sharing your soaping journey, Teacher Valerie🙏🙏🙏🙏🙇🙇🙇 Your soaps are always stunning and nourishing to the skin, as ever👏👏👏👍👍👍💯💯💯 You are right, Teacher Valerie, hot process is comforting. It's calming too, which is why I love HP so much❤❤❤
AMAZING 🤩 I love eggs in my shampoo bars but also made last year a lavender soap with rose petals and egg in it, was a facial soap Anyway you are absolutely right the prices are out of control everywhere. Just went to Costco and the same 3 lt container of olive oil went from 9.99 to 26.99 just like that
Fantastic try and awesome work with that ribbon swirls, Teacher Valerie💪💪👍👍💯💯💯 The colours are very sweet and demure! ATTAGIRL, Teacher Valerie💪💪💪😍😍😍❤❤❤
I love Aleppo soap. I made one with just 60% olive oil and 40 % Laurel leaf oil and a variation with coconut, olive oil and tamanu oil scented with for nettle and peppermint. The Laurel leaf oil smells comes thru anyway, but 🥰. The only down side is the curing time!!Thank you for sharing
I don't always do that, May, but I smoothed it out with a little glycerin primarily to keep from adding water to smooth it with. The glycerin is a great additive, but I don't always use it. I just prefer smoothing my molasses a bit before adding to my batter because it's a bit thick, much like honey is.
Good evening, Teacher Valerie! I'm very sorry to disturb you again. I've been going thru, watching your tutorials and Teacher Valerie Mosher's as well. I find that, every time, I revise all these tutorials, I learn something new, I can understand HP better. Teacher, I notice that you will off your crock when the temp hit 200+℉. Actually, this fact has been bothering me for quite a while because I wanna keep my batter moist. Therefore, is it alright for me to off my crock too, when it's at that temp? Thank you in advance, Teacher Valerie🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏 I'm so very sorry to disturb you! Very very sorry🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏 Teacher, you are very strong and wise, so treasure your loved ones,who you are having now. You will meet your little flower when it's time.
No problem May. You caught me before my turn in time. I choose to turn my crock pot off almost as soon as I get my volcano because my crock is so hot that I feel it will keep it warm enough. It's always possible to turn it back on if need be but rarely have to. Just keep the lid on as much a possible and keep the sides and tops misted in between stirs. I feel that turning it off keeps the batter from drying out too much.
@@valerieholdrensoapundergro9357 YES, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, Teacher! I wanna keep my batter moist too! Thank you very much🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏 Sleep tight, Teacher! THANK YOU🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this tutorial, Teacher Valerie! Seems like I missed a lot of your videos! My goodness! Now only, a year later, I get to see this upload of yours and I don't know why! I love hot process too, like you!!😁😁 My second love is wood ash, medieval soaps, which I'm using everyday now😁😁 Thank you again, for this video, Teacher Valerie🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much, Teacher Valerie, for this tutorial🙏🙏🙏🙇🙇🙇 Teacher Valerie, can I use cocoa butter or shea butter to replace mango butter? I mean, will those two butters affect the white batter, turning it into a tan shade? Thank you very much in advance, Teacher Valerie!🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏 I missed your uploads! Luckily, I check your channel every now and then! I'm so very happy to be able to learn from you again! Thank you🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏
I appreciate your support and I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I'm sure you can swap the butters out, just be sure to run the formula through soap calc. I think the color will be ok IF you have the refined butters.
@@valerieholdrensoapundergro9357 Thank you for teaching me, Teacher Valerie🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏 If refined butters are more suitable, then I'll stick to mango butter. I prefer raw and unrefined butters, always go to the original. Once again, thank you, Teacher Valerie🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏
Hi, Teacher Valerie! I'm so happy to watch your video and learn from you again! Sorry, I'm a week late! The video didn't pop out! I checked your channel, then only discovered that you have two new uploads! I'm terribly sorry for your loss, but despite your sadness, your tutorial is still superb and precise! You didn't forget to teach every single details! Thank you very much! Teacher Valerie, do you think the batter can still maintain as white if goat milk is used, instead of coconut milk? Thank you in advance, Teacher Valerie🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏 You have HEAPS to offer because you are so generous to share and to teach! LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK😍😍😍❤❤❤
Thank you, May. I honestly don't use goats milk so I don't know how the color might affect the whiteness. I'm glad you feel that you can take something away from my very unpolished videos. 😊
@@valerieholdrensoapundergro9357 Thank you for teaching me, Teacher Valerie🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏 I think I'd better not take the risk to use goat milk then. Your videos are very detailed, educational, precise, simple, sincere and straight to the point…an ideal and precious teaching material! Therefore, please don't say it's unpolished…never would be! You are very generous to share and to teach! Love you very much❤❤❤😍😍😍😘😘😘 Thank you, Teacher Valerie🙏🙏🙏🙇🙇🙇
Greetings Valerie I so enjoyed coming along for your Hot Process salt bars. They are beautiful and the lather is amazing. I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing this video. God bless you dear lady🦋
Hi, Teacher Valerie! I'm very happy to see you😁😁 I miss your HP tutorial so much! Teacher, may I ask you a question? I saw you added your SL, sugar and ACV at 193℉, after your SF. Therefore, does this mean that I don't need to wait for the temperature to drop below 170℉? Thank you in advance, Teacher Valerie🙏🙏🙏😁😁 Once again, I'm so glad to see you😁😁😁
Thank you, May. I normally do wait until my temperature is 170 or below; however, because I wasn't adding honey or fragrance, per say, nor was I wanting to achieve "fluidity" for a design, I really didn't focus on the temperature. Had I added honey, I definitely would have waited to prevent "scorching".
@@valerieholdrensoapundergro9357 I see! Now I fully understand the reason for you to add below 170℉ in your previous tutorials. Thank you very much, Teacher Valerie🙏🙏🙏🙇🙇🙇
