What a God-incidence. I can't belive I've never seen you Chanel. I also pray that prayer over my oils, we also use red buckets for our lye, and I also soap at 33% It is wonderful to do business on Kingdom principles, it makes no sense to people😂 But Jesus is só faithful, He literally gives you insight and ideas🙌🏻 I'm so excited to spend time on you Chanel. And thank you for the 50/50 lye tip. I've been thinking about it non stop for about 2 weeks and wondering if it's possible... Now I know👏🏻🙌🏻 blessings and favor to you

Thank you Joanna. What a blessing you are to the soap community. May God continue shining on you.🥰

This is so helpful, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I'd love to hear about the temperatures of mixing the oils & butters using the lye solution too. I understand perfectly the concept of using 50/50 lye solution but what do we do about the variation in temperatures?

@TheSoapGal

8 ай бұрын

Great question! I recommend having your 50/50 at room temp and just melting your oils and butters slightly - enough to thoroughly allow them to mix. I wouldn't recommend working with anything scorching hot or ice cold.

So if I heard that right, you have your 50/50 lye solution and with that you add a 1/3 of extra liquid, so say 12 oz water, 12 oz lye and the extra amount of liquid at the same 12 oz of goat milk, Aloe Vera or etc. (1/3 + 1/3 + extra 1/3). Thank you so much for your videos. Love them all.

@TheSoapGal

Using a 25% full water recipe, you'd have 75% total liquid which yes would be broken down to 25% + 25% (50/50 solution) and 25% additional water, milk, or aloe etc. Hope that helps!

Great info!!! Does the 50/50 solution need to be warmed up prior to adding to oils? And if so, what temperature would you bring it up to?

It need to be liquid, my is around 79 degrees, but follow your certificate of analysis or safety data sheet, or ask your provider.

Yes this is normal as the lye granules dissolve! The lye should be clear, the room temperature could affect that if it is too cold in the room or not enough water being used. But I suggest a strainer when pouring in the lye to catch any granules that might not dissolves if it happens again.

Hello ❤ I tried the 50/50 master batch recipe used it for the first time added the right about of additional which was coconut milk it soaped great but after the 24 hours I unmolded it and cut it and I have white spots in my soap do you happen to know why and what I could do to prevent it from happening again.

@TheSoapGal

8 ай бұрын

Is it inside or on on the outer parts of the bars and is it flaky? Was your soap batter fully mixed (no lumps) before pouring? It could be that the bar is lye heavy or could be soda ash formation. Soda ash forms when unsaponified lye reacts with naturally-occurring carbon dioxide in the air. It doesn't affect the final bars and the soap is safe to use. However, it can obscure more intricate designs. It typically shows up on top of soap, but in some cases it can run all the way through. You can try steaming your bars or running them under cool water to remove.

It is a shame this question didn’t get answered. I make up 50:50, about 2 litres (quarts) in a safety gallon container, and use it all completely without any waste or mishap in a good number of soap recipes. It is always good to go and lasts me about three months sometimes. How amazing that is eh? I mix the right amount of lye solution into the soap batch once I have emulsified my additives into the oils, and blend to light trace. When whisk in well the essential oils or fragrance before pouring into the mould. This process frees up my brain to think more expansiveness about the extra liquid options I can use to make up the master batched lye solution quantity, for a great soap bar.

And if i understood correctly ,i can unmold the next day,cut and cure for 2 to 3 days and my bars would be ready to package and use ,will they have the same lather/ nourrishment that when i use a smaller% lye solution... i am late for my xmas market production,so i was looking into short cuts and i find you 🙏💗thank you for sharing your knowledge so geniunely.

@TheSoapGal

Hi there! So glad you found us too. We would recommend getting Soap Maker 3 software and using it to confirm your calculations in grams. You can add the milk at room temp and the trace will change based on your water discount. With 50/50 solution yes, the bars are safe to handle and cut within 48 hours but you will want to weigh the bars daily for a week to ensure no more water is dissipating before packaging. That is correct. Based on Dr. Kevin Dunn's research a bar that's cured for 1 week behaves the same as a bar that cures for 2 months. The only difference is the hardness of the bar. You will always want to test your own products thoroughly before selling. You can find my 50/50 lye video here! kzread.info/dash/bejne/h6KuzJmgZraYndo.html

Sounds like your recipe has too much water! You always want more water than your lye but not too much water that the bars don't cure! This is why soap maker 3 is so valuable.

If you use the 50/50 lye solution base cold and then add (say goats milk) to it, does it heat up again…or stay cold please? My biggest challenge with goats milk is scorching the milk. I can really see how this is a game changer for productivity 🥳🥳💕

I appreciate all that you do to help.... I dont think I'm understanding tho.

So then we are back to having more than 50/50 so now what about that shorter cure time? I feel like I'm not understanding, sorry to be a pain 😢 😅 🤷

@TheSoapGal

8 ай бұрын

Correct! It's because of the water discount. We're adding less additional water since there is already water in the 50/50 solution. You can adjust the ratios to fit your desired malleability. But with a 33% lye strength using 50/50 solution in my dry environment, cure time is 48 hours until the soap is safe and curable. Then it's important to weigh the bars to confirm the time it takes for final water evaporation.

Hi GinGin! Your 50/50 lye amount will change based on the types of oils and amount of oils you're using. The most accurate way to calculate this is by using Soap Maker 3 software and putting in your desired oil measurements. Then the software will tell you how much 50/50 solution you need!

Very confusing. Show some clarity.
