Anne-Marie Makes Watermelon Soap - Perfect Summer Soap | Bramble Berry 

So am I... I cant cut straight to save my life 😖

She's the bomb at free hand cutting. Imagine when she started there were no giant bar cutters on the market. She was also very young and even if there were a cutter, she wouldn't have spent the money for it?

Pls how do I get your book on soap making ?

Lol love me some Katie! I wish she would have actually scraped her containers clean! I feel like she wastes so much it kills me 😖

When she was doing it I was thinking 'scrappy scrappy your containy'

🤣🤣🤣

Ai ai ai it's to late but best of luck my dude

@@shahanarabegum6877 I passed both classes 😊

I can hear Katie murmuring "scrapey scrapey my big containey" all the way from Texas

KyrieFortune LMAO yes me too!!! I just wonder what they do with all that raw soap, it absolutely shouldn’t be going down the sink

You've got it! Trace can be hard to get right but with a little practice you'll be a master!

Purchase her soap making book for beginners.

The 54 oz. Quick Mix will usually work with 7.8 oz. lye and 17 oz. distilled water (this works great in our 5 lb. silicone mold) , but we always recommend running your recipe through the Bramble Berry Lye Calculator to make sure you have the correct levels of lye. Bramble Berry Lye Calculator: www.brambleberry.com/calculator?calcType=lye

Hardening. After curing it will probably shatter. So 18-36 hours after you put it in the mold.

If you would prefer to not use Palm this article shows you what you can substitute in a recipe that uses Palm: www.brambleberry.com/articles/ingredient-information/art0028-palm-oil-alternatives-in-cold-process-soap.html

You can almost always substitute oils in your recipes, babassu oil is a great alternative to palm oil. Whenever you change oils, always run your recipe through our lye calculator to make sure your recipe is safe!

@@bramble-berry Thanks for that quick answer 👍🏻

Hi, it sounds like you've made a thick trace! Once it's thick, you can't thin it out. While it can be harder to work with in some ways, thick trace is still totally useable. We recommend checking out this article to learn all about trace: www.brambleberry.com/articles/tips-and-tricks/art0114-trace.html

That is very interesting as your temperatures seem correct. When soap thickens so quickly you normally see that happen due to too low of temperatures or too much lye. This video is super helpful when determining what may have gone wrong with a batch: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OCk2q8HNiH0.html&lc=UgyoaOb6qaSH1ucBvn14AaABAg

Poppy seeds add a gentle exfoliation to the soap, for a softer exfoliation you're welcome to reduce the amount of poppy seeds in the recipe.

Depends on the one you buy! There are both water soluble and oil soluble versions, I see a lot of makers using the water soluble version.

@@iluv2cheer176 I use water soluble because oil soluble always seems to be sold out when I go to buy.

You can replace the poppy seeds with cranberry seeds, you can find them here: www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/ingredients/additives-and-lye/botanicals/cranberry-seeds/V000694.html

Some colorants will not hold up in cold process soap. You need to double check your color or mica to ensure it is able to be used in cold process. Most sites will tell you in the description or info if it is able to be used in cold process. You are likely using one that isn't cold process compatible and it is being destroyed by the lye in the raw soap.

Google the conversions.

Accidentally got chia seeds. I'm wondering if theyll hold up.

We sell both the mold and the silicon liner. 5lb Wood Mold: www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/molds/wood/5-lb-mold-with-sliding-bottom/V000451.html 5lb Silicon Liner: www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/molds/silicone/silicone-liner-for-5-lb-wood-mold/V000716.html

Thanks a lot. Place my order today 😊

Yes! Though pomace tends to be greener in color and may affect the final color of some of the layers. You'll want to run the recipe through our lye calculator too. www.brambleberry.com/calculator?calcType=lye

They sell premixed recipies.

The 16 ounces of distilled water is already calculated in as the 12% water discount, you don't need to discount another 12% when you make this.

Literally me😭😭

That's exactly what I was thinking

Vlada M Me too! Lolol

I assume you are asking about the environmental issue and not asking why palm oil is actually used in soap recipes? Brambleberry (and any other reputable supplier) only sells RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil.

Okay but that was really smart

@Strange Watch it's not about shipping the cost no it's about the nonsensical way of packing I'm pretty sure she knows me by this particular incident I ordered the powdered version of slsa when it got to me the bag had been split open there was product everywhere all over the peanuts all over everything else in the packaging my cat being nosy as he is got into the packing peanuts and I ended up having taking him to the vet because he was poisoned! I don't care if they refunded my money I don't care if they gave me creditAnna Marie knows that because of this she will never get a dime from me until their shipping practices change hell no! And as far as shipping if I ordered today I won't get it for 4 months and that has nothing to do with that has everything to do with them probably waiting to the last minute to ship out anything and they use the slowest snails the slowest trucks the slowest everything it would be 6 weeks 3 months 4 months before you get your order! Soap Queen I don't think so! The chemistry store in South Carolina I get in 2 days make your own buzz 2 to 3 days yes I know they're in Washington my son is in Tacoma his order when he place it took 2 weeks so again never again! This is not being cheap their shipping practices are dangerous I'm surprised they could still afford liability insurance! and they obviously don't know what the word generally regarded as safe because that is something brambleberry is not not when you get your shipped order they don't care how they ship they just throw it in a box and if it breaks on its way to you oh well so go ahead have a nice day don't let the vet bill hit you on your way out!
