Love your videos Holly! I just made this soap recipe yesterday. My indigo left flecks in the soap. What brand of indigo do you use? I couldn't find it in your affiliate store. Thank you!
Hi Holly, I truly appreciate the invaluable content in your videos. They are of very high quality!! A few questions from a very green soap maker... Are you heating the oils to +/-85 degrees? You seem to always have an alternative recipe that doesn't use Tallow. Why is that? Do you provide classes on either a group or personal basis?
I just used lavandin for the first time and I love it so much. Used indigo to achieve some swirls as well, but the indigo colored portion accelerated very bad and the design didn’t came out as planned but the soap smells amazing. I used 100 AloeVera for my ley solution. Love your eo combo. Thank you😊
Eg. 2 parts liquid (water and Milk in this recipe) 1 part NaOH (lye). Quantity depends on recipe and you should always put the ingredients into soap calc or equivalent. Holly used only one part of liquid (water to combine with the NaOH) and used the other part to add to oils. Example a recipe calls for 122 g lye and 244g water. To use part water and part milk that equals 122g lye, 122g water which you combine to make lye water then add the other 122g milk to oils. You must always have minimum equal water to lye. Hope that helps.
Holly, much respect for you and your creativity. Your Charcoal soap recipe was my very first attempt to making soap. I have now mastered the skill to make and sell. I have a project I've been working on and need your expertise and creativity. I would like to reach you by email. Thank you
