Thank you for the recipe Summer. Do you think I could get away with swapping the Caprylyl Capryl Glucoside to Cocomidopropyl betaine with some polysorbate 80 as solubilizer and the SCS to SCI. I'm thinking it should be ok since the polysorbate 80 is non-ionic and the CMPB is amphoteric...?
Thanks for your comment! Yes, you can definitely test it out with Polysorbate 80. I recommend making a small batch first to see how it turns out. Let me know how it goes! 😊
I like to add the carrier oil, fragrance and color when I am making the finished product. Just mix it into the whipped soap along with any other ingredients to make your final product.
Certainly! You can start by adding around 3% to 5% butter to your recipe and then adjust based on your preference for consistency and moisturizing properties. It's always a good idea to experiment with small batches first to find the perfect balance for your skin. Happy crafting!
Hello summer rain. Thanks for the educational videos. I would like to know if I can swap SCI for sodium coco sulfornate. And do o need to change its percentage?
Thank you so much for making this video. I am brand new at this, and I just had a question. Ok, so now we have our soap base. Now how do I go about making this a foaming sugar scrub? What do I need to add to get a final product? Thank you so very much for your time.
You can add some oils / butter and fragrance to it to get a finished product. I am working on a video for the next step of this and it will be posted soon!
@@SummerRainDIY Thank you so much, I am going to watch all of your video's and check your blog out often. I think you explain things really well. Thank you. I will wait for the next step video. Thanks so so much!
Maybe try something like this 1.58 ounce | 39.5% fine salt 1.88 ounce | 47% Whipped Soap Base 0.08 ounce | 2% Vegetable Glycerin 0.40 ounce | 10% Olive Oil 0.04 ounce | 1% Fragrance Oil 0.02 ounce | .5% Broad Spectrum Preservative Mica Powder Optional You can add a bit of Shea butter but not too much bc it will affect the lather.
It will make it softer, it would really depend on the amount of oils that you use. Just add a little bit at a time until you get to the consistency you want.
You can use tap water, I always suggest using distilled water as all water is not equal. Using distilled water will rule out the water if you run into any issues with formula.
You could leave the preservative out as you have already preserved the base and the sugar and oils no not necessarily need to be preserved. Or if you prefer, you could add a bit more as it is likely the finished product would get water in it while you are using it. Either way would be fine.
@@SummerRainDIY thank you for the reply as a lot of RU-vidrs do not respond. Can you do a tutorial on formulating % such as the fragrance oils? How to turn them into grams and how it should look on the scale.
I can absolutely work on this for you. It might take me a few days but I will get a video made and posted. This post might help a little also summerrain.website/tips-and-tricks/
I have heard that Liquid German Plus can be added up to a maximum of 50 degrees Celsius. What is the correct information? You have used Liquid German Plus at temperatures above 100 degrees!!
I like them both about the same, I just wanted to try a new recipe. I do add some oils in to this before I use it. I’m actually working on that video right now and it should be out this week.
@@SummerRainDIY Thank you so much for replying so soon! Really appreciate your feedback. Will be on the lookout for your new video! Greetings from South Africa
@@SummerRainDIY omg I am so happy you're making that video and it will be out soon. I am still sitting on the ingredients because you had told me about the video coming out, so I waited. Great news! I will find it on your blog?
