I believe there is nothing better for our skin and hair than tallow. Just love it and I have a complete line of beef and bison tallow products from lip balms to shampoo shaving soaps and creams. It’s just sad that many people don’t know how similar tallow is to our natural skin sebum and how easy the body absorbs it. Thank you for the video. Love your baby.

So, from a licensed hairdressers knowledge on how hair actually grows, there is nothing that you can apply to the hair externally to cause it to grow, because once hair has grown past/outside the scalp, it's considered dead. There is a tiny vein under each hair follicel inside the scalp, called the papilla, that feeds the hair and causes it to grow. If anything, a good healthy diet and vitamins are the only thing that can possibly help with hair growth, and maybe massaging your scalp😊

Would she want you to continue? Perhaps do it as a sideline or just in remembrance of her? Find a name for your soap bar that epitomizes her, you could even use her name. What was her favorite color? Could you use natural dies like beetroot or turmeric to add to the soap bars? I lost my brother in December and he was buried on 28 Dec on his 50th birthday.

It’s a good idea to have dedicated soap making equipment to keep everything safe. Thanks for bringing that up!

I also use a recipe for hair with these 4 fats/oils - inspired by the bumblebee apothecary. I add nana mint (moroccan spear mint) and lemon balm essential oil, and also 2 TBS of ghassoul powder and 2 TBS of efficcient microorganisms to 1,5 kg of soap. I heard that some people put EM in their soap and thought I'd experiment with that too. My husband and I both love our hair soap. By the way, the castor oil also increases the foam in soaps that's why it's found in many recipes. Usually only 5%, but for shampoo bars 10% is better to create a good amount of lather. By the way, I render my tallow from fat that butchers give me for free, since fat is viewed as junk today. The easiest way is to cook the fat chunks in water and then blend them once they're soft. Afterwards one can keep them on the stove to simmer for a while so all the fat is extracted, then pour the m through a sieve. The first time, I cut 3 kgs of fat into tiny little pieces which took ages, but one can skip that step by boiling the entire cuts right from the start.

Did you know that lye was originally made from wood ash. You would need a very clean fire hearth and very pure and good wood. But, then the ash is put in water and the alkaline lye is created. Good wood must have all kinds of mineral and trace element properties that are good for hair and scalp too? This wood ash solution would work with pig fat too.

What's this doing to the drain after it hardens?

@FromScratchFarmstead

3 ай бұрын

From my understanding during the saponification process, the fat/lye reaction changes it from being a fat or grease to soap. Maybe someone has some better science to chime in with here :). From our experience of using this bar for several years, we've never had any drain issues!

I have been using shampo bars for a long time, years my hair is very long and healthy. I've made soap many times too but I have never tried making my own shampoo bars, the recipes I've seen in the past call for so many ingredients that I don't want to use or would be hard to find. I love this simple basic recipe, the soap I have made in the past using tallow lasts a long time too so I think these 8 bars will allow me to give plenty away. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Thank u for sharing. Love the idea of cold processed shampoo bars but my hair doesn’t do well with the high PH, and does so much better with synthetic bars. I’m inspired to give this a try tho. Thanks again. Beautiful family. 😊❤

I found a couple of wonderful shampoo bars; boreal folk makes a wonderful horsetail bar and found a wonderful one made with coconut oil and turmeric. I too had been on a long quest for good shampoo bars.

Those sound lovely! So glad you found something that works well for you!

Thanks for this detailed video! I used to make my own beeswax candles, skincare, etc. I've always wanted to make soap, but definitely intimidated by the lye after I messed up my first trial. Excited to try yours for a while until my 4 kids get more independent! 😅 Then maybe make my own in the future!

Open window, high flow fan blowing in the direction of the window. Workbench between fan and window. No kids or pets around. PPE: -Faceshield -New gloves that need to be checked (fill with water, see if it leaks then let it dry) -lab coat with long sleeves or apron and shirt (long sleeves) -pants (anything you can easily remove) -shoes or boots that are fully enclosed (no sneakers, flip flops, etc.) *Have a CLEAR path to a shower or water hose (privately since you need to get naked in case of spill on the clothes)

I just watched a warning that said “The more people who advertise “how to tell the diff between real and fake olive oil or over processed or chemical additives” the companies will change their labeling and continue selling their harmful products.

@@FromScratchFarmstead good morning... I made my soap yesterday, during mixing it went a weak chocolate colour, but on cooling it is green! I didn't have enough infused oil (bright green) so it isn't as strong as it will be next time. My soap split in the centre during the first 12 hours... so I am off to google why that is, it seems quite delicious at this point... thanks heaps. Juli

Really looking forward to trying this!! Also wondering: do you use that immersion blender, stainless steal pot, cutting board, etc for food as well? I know many people like to keep their soap making tools completely aside for soap making only, for safety reasons due to the lye. But I know nothing about soap making, so I would love to know what you do! Thank you so much
