How to Test Your Soap Bars for Cure & Lather 🫧 Cold Process Soap R&D

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

#soapmaking #soap #coldprocesssoap
A crucial step in your soap development process is rigorously testing each new batch of soap for its cure time and lather. You do this by taking detailed notes of your soap's behavior during the cycle of its cure process. In this video I teach you how to do this accurately and what to look for to know when your bar is ready to sell.

Hi! I’m Joanna 👋 I’ve been making cold process soap since 2009 and as a business since 2011. I went from making my first soap bars in my shed using fresh goats milk, to scaling into a 44,000 sq. foot facility and making over 8 million bars a year. This channel is a place for you to learn everything about cold process soap making. Learn how to effectively masterbatch your soap recipes, white label, scale your business, and most of all - deliver a high quality product to your customers that keeps them coming back for more. This is a creative and supportive community and I'm so glad you're here! Get ready to lather, rinse, profit, & repeat. XOXO your soap sister, Joanna Couch

    I tried your soap and let me tell you, it’s amazing. The lather, the smell, the feel on the skin…everything is great. Question, do you use more than 5% super fat?

    @@raffiandtania6022 A 5% superfat is often the norm. For a pure 100 percent olive oil soap, 7 percent superfat is unnecessary as it's high in oleic fatty acids and very gentle on the skin; has no lauric or myrisitic fatty acids ( which are the ones that can be drying for the skin. Olive oil soaps are very " thirsty" and absorb a lot of water and often become sticky and stay soft so keeping them well drained between uses is vital. (Personally I'd recommend a 3% superfat for any soap recipe with 20% or less coconut oil; it helps reduce the chance of rancidity, and reduces the amount of free oil(unsaponified oil) going down your pipes. (just ask a plumber!)
