@TheDivera Hi Vera, you do understand that this is an African Black inspired soap, right? In authentic African Black Soap wood ash is used, which is, in fact, lye. As most people in North America don't have access to actual wood ash, lye is a replacement to recreate saponification. Reminder. I said this was an African inspired Black Soap.

@mayflylife Thank you. Long time ago, people in my country use to make soap from ash 😊

I love the Lulu Organics shampoo powder, but it is ridiculously expensive. I want to make it on my own now. (Prices these days!) Now I'm wondering if I do your recipe here, but without any oils & butters, just the dry ingredients, would this make a good shampoo powder? The only ingredient missing is the baking soda from the list of ingredients on the container of Lulu Organics.
@mayflylife7 күн бұрын
@LadyGoza The whole premise of this particular recipe is to create a bar style shampoo. Oils and butters that are used provide different properties, like moisture, softening, etc. Where the dry ingredients could strip some or all of the natural oils, leaving the scalp dry. That being said, I encourage people to experiment and make this recipe their own. The only way to truly discover if it works is by trying it. Give it a go and see what the results are. Best of luck.

If I wanted to bake this recipe in a bean pot in the oven, what would I set the oven to & for how long?
@mayflylifeАй бұрын
@@daveg1052 Recipes vary, but the average temperatures are 300⁰F to 375⁰F for about 3 hours. Your dry beans should be soaked overnight to rehydrate them. Slow cookers are low and slow, but a Dutch oven casserole will be somewhat faster. I'd set the oven no higher than 375⁰F for a few hours. More steam will escape out of a Dutch oven than a slow cooker, so keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn or dry out.

Hi Maureen. I usually make small batches and place in a jar and store in the fridge. I will fill a toothpaste tube and have it used up within 10-14 days. I'll go back to my jar in the fridge and refill my toothpaste tube. The refrigerated toothpaste can last for a while, but I won't go longer than a few months. I hope this helps.

Bentonite clay is a great detoxifier and it absorbs like crazy, which means it will soak up the sweat. It shouldn’t cause any issues, but could be a little abrasive for delicate pits.

This may be a dumb question, but it this deodorant suitable for men? Strength to minimize odor with moderate to extreme activity? Will it last 12 hours? 24 hours?
@mayflylife7 ай бұрын
It’s not a dumb question at all. Yes, it’s made for men and women. Including a few drops of Tea Tree essential oil to the formula will help reduce the bacteria that causes the odour. It should last the day, but I’ve never tested it in extreme physical activities. The only thing you can do is test it by seeing how much activity it can handle. Sorry I can’t give you a definitive answer on that.

Although vitamin E is an excellent ingredient with some similar properties as castor oil, vitamin E doesn’t provide the slip that castor oil does. If you want to experiment, give it a try. If you are happy with the results, great.

I've made several recipes for dish washer soap and none of them did the job. Last night i made your recipe plus i added few drops of dish soap and some white vinegar to the dish washer. The result was absolutely fantastic. Even better than conventional dish washer soap! Specially the glasses were spotless and super shiny (with previous recipes i always had a white coat on the glasses). Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. I really appreciate it. This saves our family lot's of money, plus no harsh chemicals and all natural ingredients are good for our body and the environment. ❤️
