I am making soap, hand salve and lip balm for Christmas this year too! I live those molds! I am using a loaf silicone mild and cutting them into small squares. Each person will get a small block of 2 different kinds of soap. One rosemary and one bergamot. I am using a combo of goats milk and Shea butter, and add 5 capsules of Vitamin E for a 2 LB/ 4 Cup/32 OZ batch and add 10 Drops of essential oils per OZ of soap. So my batch I add around 320 drops. I package with either scrapbooking paper or paper from paper bags for a natural look. I just got creative with the pa aging. For the lip balm and hand salve I use a simple recipe of olive oil, vegetable oil, vitamin E, beeswax and essential oil. This recipe was found on you tube through the Bee whisperer.

Sounds lovely homemade gifts are the best!

If i put shea base can i put it on the fridge as well to fasten the process?

Thanks for the great vlog! Question: do you have designated measuring cups and spoons for soap making or do you just wash them and still use them for other things?

@rigelsmith

Жыл бұрын

Hi! I don’t have designated soap making utensils. Since it is soap it just rinses right off and is clean. The only designated container I have is an old jar for melting beeswax.

Love this! Is this a body soap?

Yes, this can be used like any other soap. I wouldn’t use it on my face, though.

Those are super cute. I’m just starting to make my very first batch of melt and pour soap. I’m just curious as to how much you sell a bar of soap that size? Being a beginner, I have no idea. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you. 🙏🏼

Do you ever use Carrier oils like Jojoba/vitamin E/Almond in your soaps? I read on a soap blog that added oils compromise lather, cause separation, and prevent the soap from fully hardening. As just wondering. Thank you 🙏🏼

I have not. I’ve only used this recipe but that sounds lovely! So many good soap recipes out there to try.

Hi, this is probably a dumb question but is there a way that instead of making into soap, is there a way to make it more so into a body wash type? Thanks for sharing with us!!

Great question! I don’t think this recipe would be good as a liquid but there are many options for making liquid body wash. Doing a web search for DIY body wash recipes with Castile soap and essential oils for some ideas!

Hi I try find where u get that from lavender essence oil plan to make soap pls

@rigelsmith

Hello. Here is the lavender essential oil doterra.me/ptaNfZ

I used 90 drops of essential oils in my 2lb/4 cup/ 32 Oz soap and it hardly had an aroma and when I looked up how many essential oil (EO’s) drops to use per ounce it called for 10 D per Oz of product or carrier oil so now I use 320 D for my batch ( 10 X 32) . If making a 1 lb batch, 160 drops of EO is used.

I’m using colloidal oatmeal and it’s sitting on top rather powdery and clumpy even though I am stirring it in for quite some time. What am I doing wrong or is that ok?

Should be ok! Sounds like it will just have a little more exfoliation on one side.

Do you just use regular Avery labels for your soaps?

I haven’t used any labels on soaps but Avery labels would work. They make so many different styles and sizes.

@@rigelsmith Thanks very much. I’m racking my brain on which ones to get. I’m literally just starting out. I used your recipe and the little pink molds, and made my first 20 bars. I’m going to take them to a baby shower on Saturday to see if they sell. I don’t want to invest in any expensive labels right now just starting out, so I’m going to try the Avery to begin with. Thanks again..

Ive seen a lot of videos of people showing which botanicals mold inside soap and which ones not to use. Lavender was on that list and they proved that lavender molds quickly in soap. Have you had this issue yourself with using lavender inside soap?
