Hi! I'm new to the soap making world, and actually only decided to venture in because I want to make my own shampoo infused with my chosen herbs etc. I tried this recipe two days ago, my first ever soap/shampoo bar, and it was a major disaster! The stick blender I have is stainless steel, very heavy, and very powerful. It was so heavy to hold while blending, and for ages nothing was happening. Then it suddenly went so fast to trace and beyond that it started to thicken up super fast. I was racing against the clock to put it into the molds and it was hardening as I did it. I unmolded them yesterday and they all look hideous! Because they werent liquid enough when they went into the molds, they didnt fill all the grooves, so they're really misshapen. I was planning to give them as gifts but that aint happening any time soon! I have 33 ugly-as-sin shampoo bars to get through now. My hair should look like Rapunzel's by the time I'm done with them! 😂 So my Q is, please can you tell me what stick blender you use? How many watts? Plastic or steel? Do you have to keep the ON/OFF button pressed the whole time or can you press it once and it stays on until you press it again?

once u hit trace and cut into bars its soap. the curing time only allows for excess water to evaporate and harden the bar. if u use 50/50 water and lye u can use the bars after 48 hrs. the reason the industry has stated it needs to cure for so long is because when soap was originally made it was made with pot ash for fireplaces.

Use Bharat's cold pressed peanut oil instead of too costly and hyped olive oil.😊❤

For adding acids and bases to water (and not the other way around) I always remember "do as you oughta, add acid to watta." The reason you add them in that order is that dispersing acid or base in its first little bit of water generates a lot of heat, and adding extra water to acid/base solution that already has some doesn't generate much more. So if you had a drop of water on top of a big pile of lye, you'd get all the heat of dissolving a big pile of lye, and only a single drop of water to absorb it. That can violently boil the water, flinging lye at you with steam pressure.

Thank you for the info!

Essential oil for hair, growth: rosemary, oily: lemongrass, you can also add aloe Vera to 😊

As one of probably a small group of guys that subscribe, I wanted to share that I came to this video because I travel overseas a lot on extended trips, and taking liquids in carry-on is getting increasingly difficult. What I’d like to see you do for things like this is what I call a “Mark 1, Mod 0” recipe, where ingredients are things I can go buy at local big box ... then cover substitutions (for GAPs for example) or enhancement options to make them better. Also, for those of us who may do this once a year, tips on how to store ingredients like lye.

Thank you soooo much for making this sooo easy to understand and with accurate measurements. I can’t wait to make my own shampoo bars!!! Thank you so much!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Oh very interesting information for me.thax

I really like this recipe. To scale, I convert the oz/g into %. Using Lard, I'm going to experiment adding a touch of citric acid to my next batch. The acid (.5% barely any) is to allow the volume to do the work, instead of pH. As is though, this recipe is awesome. I'm glad BumblebeeApothecary posted it.

Hey there~ I tried clicking on your shop/products link in description, but there were only options for other people's products, w/a note from you stating they make theirs just like you do. I thought about it, considered that maybe you are not actively stocking your own products right now? That made the most sense, & it is kind of you to refer to friends' products as well. Ok, just checking~ Samantha

@csdunavan

The lye is what turns the oils into soap, and it gets completely used up in the process of saponification. Castile soap is just another kind of soap that was made with lye too. If you tried to replace the lye with castile soap, you'd just have a liquid oily soap combination.

Thank you for a tallow-based recipe!! I just got done rendering and cleaning 100lbs of tallow from our grass-fed cow share.

I’m not sure at what time in the process I would add an herbal infusion.
