You can make beautiful homemade cold process soap and other cosmetics with common garden weeds. This soap tutorial shows how we used dandelion seeds and fdandelion lowers to create plant silk and also as natural soap color.
The dandelion has incredible natural properties and I discuss some of its uses in cosmetics inside the video plus is an excellent plant to forage as every part of it can also be eaten.
If you want to try it out yourself the recipe is:
DANDELION SOAP RECIPE
100g coconut oil
150g palm oil
250g olive oil
69g sodium hydroxide
150g distilled water
10 dandelion seed heads
15 dandelion flower heads

I love this! I made this, but used dandelion tea as the water sub for the lye. I am so excited for this one! My fourth soap ever!

@hipdaizii 2 года назад

I made the dandelion soap with fuzz,seeds and dehydrated yellow flower pedals. I used my go to soap recipe plus added 1 teaspoon of sugar. I used it for the first time today it is awsome. Very silky feeling lather. I think this could become my favorite soap. It is awesome feeling. Thank you for sharing your video

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

You are so welcome and it really does have a beautiful feel :)

@HerBeautysInsideOut 3 месяца назад

@hipdaizii 3 месяца назад

It bumps up the lather, I add it to all my soaps.

@kelzbodyboutique9878 2 года назад

I infuse a dandelion tea for the lye solution and use infused dandelion olive oil. The colour is awesome! I never thought to use the seeds or silk, but I most definitely want to try this out! And to get a microwave flower press! Your soap looks beautiful!

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Kelly, that's wonderful! I really hope you like it as much as I do :)

@angelfaeapothecary9729 2 года назад

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

It's so good! I hope you enjoy making it too :D

@barbarapowell27 2 года назад

Yesssss I’ve made dandelion soap with infused olive oil and the color is fabulous! I’ve never thought of using the seeds or silk. Fantastic idea!! I will try it next go round. I e also dried and infused the leaves for the green color on top of my soap. It has faded a bit but still love how it turned out. 💛💛💛💛 thank you!

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Wonderful! I do sometimes use the dandelion leaf and root but for this one just the flowers. Yours sounds delicious!

@elynaangelic4353 2 года назад

I infused a ton of dandelion flowers in a jar of sunflower oil. I am yet to make my soap using the oil, and now you have shown me another way to use these gorgeous health giving flowers. Thank you sooo much. Going to find me a flower press. 😊🥂💓

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Elyna you will love it. Be warned that once you start with the flower press you will be trying everything out :D

@blue246 2 года назад

God bless you Sarah. I was pulling out dandelions yesterday evening and throwing them in the bin whilst muttering to myself how they were popping up everywhere. Now I know I can collect them, and use them in my soap. I’m so grateful to you. Thank you precious lady. 🥰 You are an absolute treasure!

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Wonderful! You can totally do it Sabre. I hope you enjoy it :)

@sprinkledcleansoapery 2 года назад

I picked dandelions the other day and dried them in my oven. I dried the heads, some just the pedals, and some just the stems. I currently have them sitting on my soaping table waiting for me to be less lazy and get to work. 🤣

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Oh wow! I bet your soap will be fabulous!

I have made dandelion soap before with oil infused with dandelions, but I didn’t know about using the silks! I’m going to be making a new one this year and I’m going to use that method as well! Thank you so much for sharing this information!

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

You are so welcome Michele. I can honestly feel the silkiness in the lather. Hope you enjoy it :)

@cathygilani4663 2 года назад

Hello Sara! I've made dandelion soap before - but never used the silk or seeds. Just made dandelion tea w the petals & let cool before using in the lye solution. The dandelion silk in the lye solution made such a lovely yellow - I must try this soon! Thank you - great video!! 😍

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Hi Cathy, it's such a wonderful plant and I really hope you enjoy it. The lather is super silky from using the silky heads

@marinetitajuan3519 2 года назад

I LOVE the soap and the flower dehydrator... I haven't it in my country. Latin soaps lovers do everything with our hands or our relatives... 😀 But, I use achiote seeds, to achieve a very strong yellow color, and it also has skin benefits.

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

We use achiote (annatto) too :). Yours sounds lovely!

@cliviascreations 2 года назад

I love dandelions and have a huge jar infusing right now. Just used some of that oil yesterday to make a calamine soap

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Clivia that sounds delicious!

@johnnybstuddd4482 Год назад

I've been wanting to make a dandelion soap for a long time now since every spring my yard is loaded with them. I've seen recipes where they made a tea with the green leaves of the dandelions and used that for the water part of the recipe. The soap turned out a nice light green colour. I like the yellow colour of your soap, looks awesome. I'm going to try it next spring when the dandelions start popping up again.

@SoapSchoolUK Год назад

You should! It honestly has the most wonderful silky feel and its still one of my favourite soaps this year :)

@hbrunet72 2 года назад

Your dandelion soap is lovely! I never considered putting the seed heads into the lye solution! I will have to try that this year. It won't be long before our dandelions start to bloom here in Northern Ontario, Canada. I make a dandelion soap as well. I love it, it's one of my favourites. I make a dandelion tea and use that as my water replacement for my lye solution. I also use dandelion infused olive oil. I colour with french yellow clay, so those who use it also have the benefit of the clay for their skin. Then I put dehydrated petals on top of my soap. I typically fragrance it with tea tree and lemon essential oils. My family and customers who have severe acne problems love it, because it has helped clear up the visible acne for many of them.

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Heather, this sounds absolutely delicious!

@laurawollman8522 Месяц назад

Just made my first batch and it was so easy and beautiful…also the mold I used filled halfway, would I need to change any measurements if I double or triple recipe?

@NaturesRelics 2 года назад

Getting back into making my own soaps again and I am delighted to find your channel🎉 Where can I get a cutter like you are using in this video?

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Yay so good! This was from BudHaffner on Etsy :)

@EileenRichard-ww8ng Год назад

I'm absolutely loving your channel and have learned so much. For this recipe can I substitute another oil instead of palm oil? What would you suggest and would it be the same amount? Thank you 😊

@k.robintaylor8272 11 месяцев назад

You would need to use a soap calculator if you change the oils. Different oils need different amounts of lye.

@UKhomestead Год назад

How long would you wait before using this soap? I'd imagine the seeds would be a good exfoliator

@lifemoreefficient4476 Год назад

Can this be done without lye

@RichardBlog-hx8jk 3 месяца назад

Hi Sarah sorry me again , can you explain step by step im trying to write it all down did you mix the oils first in a newbie so wanted to write down each step in my book so I get it right 😃

@hipdaizii 2 года назад

Have youever used or made a video of using corn silk?

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Not on RU-vid. It works very well though. You can add it to the lye to dissolve or add in at trace if you want it for a visual effect

@cleoamethyst 2 года назад

You can make vegan honey with dandelions😍

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

That sounds delicious Cleo!

@RichardBlog-hx8jk 3 месяца назад

Hi there I’m a complete newbie I’ve been drawn to making home made soaps and growing herbs for years and finally I’m going to do it I will be making this soap can I use a normal soap mould to do this ? Many thanks 🙏

@SoapSchoolUK 3 месяца назад

Absolutely any soap mould would work well for the job - ideally silicone. You are going to love the creativity - enjoy!

@RichardBlog-hx8jk 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much ! I’ve given you a subscribe looking forward to seeing what else I can learn from you !

@AC-np4dn 2 года назад

Will the dandelion petals stay yellow ,like calendula does, or will they go brown in the soap ?

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Yes, they hold pretty well and stay yellow

@laurawollman8522 2 месяца назад

Can you do that with any flower, lilac

@SoapSchoolUK 2 месяца назад

No, some are toxic or not skin safe

@slavicachang7440 2 года назад

Hello Sara, I would so love to make dandelion soap as I’ve only tried Castile soap and Castile with honey….using no heat method. It looks as though you did not heat the oils. Can you please advise? Many thanks.

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Hi Slavica, You are correct, I melt the solid fats then add the liquid oils at room temperature. I then add the hot lye in which balances the temperature to normal levels again but it speeds up the whole process :)

@slavicachang7440 2 года назад

Thanks for replying so quickly. I’m looking forward to making it this coming week.
