2 parts coconut milk to 1part lye you can put in everything exactly on soap calculator and it will tell you oil batch size and everything

You can use soap calculator to figure it out. I'm from Malaysia, I use SoapLab Malaysia Soap Calculator, that write everything in gram. You may to try Brambleeberry Soap Calculator.

I also have the same question.

I usually have a stash of frozen milks that my family complains is taking up too much space in our freezer! 😂 You can use a water discount to make up for the water in the pumpkin, but I didn’t bother. I used a 1.75-2:1 milk/lye ratio. To prevent overheating from the extra water, I kept the temperature of the oils and lye solution low (around 85F) and put it in the freezer or fridge to saponify. If you are concerned about overheating, I would recommend it. Better safe than sorry!

Thanks!!! 😊

Thanks! 😊

That is a cool idea - I've had the same thought, but usually after I have recorded with music playing or kids arguing off camera. One of these days... 🤦‍♀️

Thank you! 😊

You can find them in the blog post from Humblebee & Me, linked in the description box 🙂

@@findlaycreeksoapcompany thanks

Thank you!!! 😊

Great question! Using the palette knife helps me feel confident that there are no tiny clumps of colourant when I mix them with the oils. I don’t find micas to be too clumpy, but I’ve had specks of Titanium Dioxide left behind in soaps before when I would only use a mini mixer (maybe because my mixer was not up to the task). Added bonus is that I find smooshing the colours to be very relaxing! ☺️

I will have a full “making of” video out on Friday, July 14, 2023 including recipe and supplies info. ☺️

@@findlaycreeksoapcompany OK 😊

That’s always the question! 🤞🙏😂

I'm going with lilac n purple AS WE SPEAK

Also saving some dark to play with the top for a simple little swirlie n fairy dust 😂

Sounds amazing! Good luck!!!

Dang it my titanium weighed down.

That sounds so cool! 🤩

Thanks! To mix my colours, I will either use some of the melted oils/butters from my batch or extra olive oil. I don’t make any adjustments to the calculations - it’s not much extra so it is just added to the super fat of the batch

Thanks! For soap, I use a soap calculator like soapcalc.net. You can enter your recipe as percentages, set your batch size and lye concentration and the calculator will give you the weights of all the oils, water (or other liquid) and lye you need. Good luck! ☺️

Thanks! ☺️

Thanks so much!

Go for it! I was nervous too and had watched soapmaking videos on KZbin for YEARS before I made my first batch! And I've learned way more from my failed batches than the ones that worked, so have patience and grace ❤️

Thank you! 😊

I'm in Canada - I think I purchased it from Candora Soap Supplies, but many of the popular suppliers in Canada and the USA have it available. It's really lovely!

@@findlaycreeksoapcompany Thank you!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! 😊

Thanks! I did a hanger swirl with a tool I made using wire and silicone tubing

I mean.. How you did the hanger swirl? You did" O "shape.. how you did the hanger swirl for the design.. Didn't get

Thanks! Me too! :)

There are lots of great oils to choose from, depending on the qualities/properties you are looking for in your lotion. Avocado would be a nice substitute. New Direction Aromatics has a lot of great info about carrier oils on their website - that is my go to place when looking for a substitute. Good luck!

Thanks 😊

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks 🤗

Thank you! 😊

That’s a really cool idea! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Thanks! I just made a larger batch (x3) and found that it accelerated more that time, so I'm not 100% sold on this fragrance oil yet. Still smells amazing though!

Thank you! 😊
