I have 'thinned out' many shower gel recipes when adding fragrance oil. However, I have a tip: Create a Slurry separately of the thickened gel & fo THEN add it to the main amount... Perfection! 👌 everytime!
Hi Corey, what if you would add Polysorbate 20? Mayby it would (partly) prevent the soap from thinning out. Mix it with the fragrance before adding it to the recipe. It also will increase the transparency of the shower gel
You are on a roll with these body washes!! Last night I made the transparent shower gel and it’s just perfect 👌🏾, I have lots of sea moss so will be trying this new recipe, I’m most excited 🙌
So creative! I've been looking for natural ways other than xanthan gum to thicken gels and this is such a wonderful option! Thank you so much for your heart for teaching!
I absolutely love this shower gel, I tried it 3x with different fragrances. I was only successful once and it feels/lathers amazing the other 2 were a fail. I may just put them in a foaming container. 😪 (Definitely a tricky soap but when it works it’s amazing!)
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany I did & it thickened up at the moment but then it became thin again & changed the color of the soap (went from shimmery blue to downy blue). There was no coming back from that 😞
Is the first surfactant that you used natural and free of chemicals? It can be used for face washes for sensitive acne prone skin? Also where did you got your dye from?
Great video! I want to make this. I only drink alkaline water, and have plenty of it. So can I actually use alkaline water instead of the distilled water to make this?
Hi thank you! Yes using more sea moss water would thicken it up, however, it may have a but of a slimy texture. I have often thought about experimenting more with this.
I’m having trouble finding some of the ingredients like the (SLES) and L betaine ..could you perhaps provide a website where we might be able to purchase those items?
It definitely is going to break down all of its benefits! You’re never supposed to cook seamoss! This is what happens when people work with ingredients that they have no knowledge on.
@@mkisna can you, yes, should you no! You are the only person in the Caribbean that I heard who heats it. I have plenty of friends and family from many islands that will tell you not to. I get mine from Grenada and the instructions say not to. I’m a herbalist as well and was taught not to you. To each it’s own.
@kim Amelia's Boutique...I am from St Lucia...I harvest seamoss from the ocean...sea moss has been part of our vibe longer than Grenada. We make drinks with it and derive the gel by boiling. You can also soak it overnight and blend it...but the gel is different...either way you use it based on your need. For the soap gel, boiling would be the better option.
Something else that just came to mind Corey was aiming for the collagen and carragenan contained in seamoss...unless you are heating this to over 500 degrees Celsius it is not easily affected by heat.
