Mahalo! Wonderful video. Hawaiian sea salt for me, as it’s a local product. And sometimes, I can even gather it myself!

I made these, and they turned out beautiful with no sweating, thank you for sharing!

Love how yours came out.

Very beautiful soap bars! Thank you for this wonderful video. Lovely

I'd definitely use the salt even though the date says its expired, kind of odd how salt can expire. Those bars turned out beautiful. I have made sea salt bars before and they turned out nice. I've used both regular sea salt and himalayan salt in my sea salt bars.

I use ocean water that has been filtered several times & then boiled. It makes a great bar. I do make them in a loaf, so I cut them very soon after pouring. In addition I use a small amount of cocoa butter

My understanding is that the rock salts exist because their regions were under sea water many years ago. That might be the reason for the use of the term 'sea salt' for 'rock salt'. Happy for correction if my understanding is incorrect.

Great educational video. Thank you. I'm new, when I looked up ratio of salt to oils it was a lot less. 1 teaspon per pound was suggested. Your recipe has a lot more. Would you explain please?

Beautiful! Can you list out your products name especially the blender and mold. Have you tried substituting rose versus spearmint ?

We also laugh at the expiry date in South Africa. Thanks for your lovely videos as always.

Thank you very much for your video! I learned a lot. I have been making my own soap for over 10 years, but only resently made sea salt bars. By the way: Tibetan salt technically is a sea salt too, only it is salt from an ancient ocean. Right now some authorities say you should it only Tibetan or Celtic salt, as regular sea salt has microscopic pieces 🎉of plastic in it.

I'm not sure if any of these are cosmetic certified?

Do these cure faster? When can you start to use them?

I love salt soaps! I just can't use them due to the high coconut oil used in them. My skin is sensitive to it in soaps, I've tested this extensively with a 100% coconut oil soap and a 40% superfat, and my skin was still irritated by it. So could I use another oil, like palm kernel flakes, instead of coconut oil for a salt soap? Maybe using a little less of the palm kernel flakes and using something else that helps bubbles, like a milk or sugar, along with other oils?

What causes sea salt soap to sweat? Is it too much salt? Wld really love to know. I love salt soaps but my bars always sweat. Which makes it difficult for wrapping.

Do I have to use the sodium hydroxide?

Hi Karina, the superfat is built into the whole recipe, we reduce the amount of lye accordingly to make sure the excess fats are in the soap. In salt soaps I use 15% or 20% superfat :)

Expiration dates are for legal reasons. Don’t always take them seriously. With some things, yes they are important but not everything.

The best buy date is required by various government agencies. That being said a solid salt vein in the ground is not going to be subjected to humidity which can affect the salt. Sealed tight and without humidity/moisture it will last millions of years more.

Yah no. The only way salt "goes bad" is if it gets wet, and even then it just needs to be dried out and reground. I have no idea why they would even put an experation date on any salt, unless it is some kind of legal requirement, maybe?

The short answer to salt is no

salt does not expire..people are so gullible
