Melt it down and make it into a liquid hand soap to use in the kitchen

maybe the soap foams after one year like olive soap

Why are people using LYE in shampoo?

Are foamy bubbles really that necessary to make the soap antibacterial? I like the idea of using in the winter, when the heat in your house is so drying.

I was thinking the same thing, with this soap it just doesn't lather, which I find makes it hard to use. Maybe a slight cut with another oil would help the lather.

hi im new to yoir channel🤩 and certainly part of the simulation.👽 Im presently making soap, and using turmeric ,etc which I harvested from my garden. I lam gonna try adding castor oil and see how it turns out. Such a great idea.💥

I heard expired oil is the best. It is actually collected from houses in Japan for some kind of community soap use.😊

@@WorkingWeston It's meant to create a stable lather, so it doesn't bubble so much as it helps stabilize bubbles, it was originally used in shave soaps so the dense lather would last longer and to add more slip to the shave. Just some unsolicited info lol.

Are you able to grate it and add to another soap?

That's a great idea, I'll do it on up upcoming batch and make a video of it.

I wish I could learn to make a unique soap that I could only find at Thayer's - it was a witch hazel soap with rose petal - smelled great and left the scent on your skin which was left soft! I loved it but they're not making it anymore. Does anyone know how to add witch hazel to a soap? It looked like a glycerin soap but looked creamy like it was made with goats milk.

You can use pure witch hazel, by that I mean without alcohol and add it as a percentage of your total batch. I've also see it added by tablespoon but a percent seems like a better idea, and then probably add it to your oils. I have some witch hazel I've thought about using in cold process.

@@KtP370 "Pure" witch hazel? I thought it was just a tincture, made with alcohol. You can buy it without alcohol? I guess I'm questioning how witch hazel is made without using alcohol. I hope that made sense.

@@KtP370 Okay, so I googled and found this - "You can create a water-based extraction or an alcohol-based tincture. Some methods, like Thayers Natural Remedies' maceration process, use cold-soaking with aloe and glycerin to preserve the plant's tannins and avoid heat and alcohol. After macerating, you can filter the mixture through a fine mesh to remove debris." So I'm guessing because Thayers is/was a water-based extraction, that is why it was not drying out my skin. I made the mistake of assuming it was only alcohol that could extract the goodies from the plant.

I wouldn't say slimy, it just feels like normal bar soap without lather.

Must be good for hair, you know the castor oil. I would mix it with other oils, 60/20/20%, and still let castor oil be larger component.
