I’m excited to try this! I’ve been staying away from loaves because I was worried I’d never be able to swirl right but this gives me the courage to try!
hola!!!! Primero, felicitaciones!!!! Y luego, dos preguntas; en qué disuelves tu la mica? Y cuál es la temperatura ideal para la glicerina? Gracias!!!!
When you sell these soaps to customers, do you explain to them the after care of using these soaps. That it will sweat and must be wrapped up. Do you put it on the label
No. You can though. People new to glycerin soap will need that explained. Summertime is the worst for glycerin beads. It’s always good idea to give more than less if you want happy customers.
Hi, I enjoyed your video, thanks so much 🙏. However, I live in a very humid area, and my glycerin soap came out very wet to the touch hours later. Any suggestions what to do?
That is a hard one. I have heard from a number of people that live in hot, humid places that their soap takes a long time to set up. Is it possible to refrigerate your soap? The problem with this though, is that when you take it out it will get glycerin beads, and will also sweat. Perhaps refrigerate to set up and then keep them stored in a plastic cooler? You will still experience sweating and glycerin beads, but they can be wiped off with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel.
This is such a fun technique! The results are always unique! (Hey, that kind of rhymed!) Well, it deserves some poetry, and so do you. Too bad it isn't good poetry, though!😅 ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
Hello there, I love your videos, you're a very talented lady 😊 I have a question: Do you wrap this soap in plastic after is cure? Or can this be just in a dry place no wrap? Thank you!
I usually leave them out for a week or two and then wrap. You can store them in plastic containers, but make sure to use a separate container for each soap or they will start smelling alike.
Most of my videos are for inspiration. When I make one for learning I include the recipe. Usually I include recipes for cold process tutorials. Thank you for your input.
You’re a great teacher! How do you keep your second green layer from getting too hard as you wait? I noticed you covered it but did that keep it from getting too hard during the process?
Thank you for the compliment!!! If you cover it the skin doesn’t form on top. You may have to microwave it to soften it a bit. Just make sure you don’t go too hot (needs to be 120*F or lower) because if you do you will miss your window to pour. It’s a bit of a balancing act. I am hoping to make more videos soon and would like to do a live to better help.
I use plastic for cold process and glass for glycerin. Glass is not recommended for cold process soaping because of the heat reaction. Glass has been known to shatter, even Pyrex.
I make these myself and I never have to stick a spoon in it to get the swirls cooler temp when I first pour then a much hotter second pour and repeat but these are beautiful
Not sure if my question will be answered since this seems to be an older video and comments and responses are older as well, but on your white layer was that just a regular white melt and pour soap like goats milk that we didn’t see you do in the video, or did you add color to the separate mixture that you set aside? If so, what did you use to make the glycerin white and creamy looking like that?
Hi DeAnda! I used all clear and added the white. I mix titanium dioxide with glycerin and then add drops of that mix to the soap until I get the desired opacity. However, I have done a mix before with clear and goat milk, and as long as the two soaps are from the same manufacturer they should work well together. Don’t forget to spritz with 90% rubbing alcohol between layers. Hope this helps.
I have been trying to replicate your technique with no luck. I'm finding the white sinks to the bottom. I'm using the same brand in clear and pre made white. Is it a temp issue or does the white weigh more? I have trouble pouring when the temp gets too cold. Maybe I just need to find that sweet spot for my base. I love watching your vids. Very relaxing. Thanks.
It won’t sink if you wait until a skin forms on top. Maybe try waiting a little longer. It sounds like you have a thin skin, but it needs to be thicker. Use your pencil eraser to check the give in the center of the loaf. You want it to give, yet be able to gently push in to the soap without breaking the seal. Thank you for reaching out!
Thank you for sharing. Your video and explanation of this method is truly awesome. I have a question, can this be done by using the cold process method of soaping?
Cold process soap swirls a lot easier than glycerin. However, the texture is much different. You can definitely get similar swirls, but the final product is less transparent and more opaque. If you haven’t watched my cold process videos or made cold process soap I urge you to give it a shot. Let me know how it goes. I will try and answer any questions you have.
Some of my videos are instructional and some are just for inspiration. Most are for inspiration. Please see my video on how to swirl glycerin soap for more instructions…and feel free to ask me questions. I will try and get back to you soon.
