It's a great lather booster, you dissolve it in the water before adding the lye

@DawnOrganics cool, can i used white sugar?

Absolutely

Hi, i already try it yesterday and got the ph in 9, but today i try delute the paste and it turn 12 , is this recipe must be dilute immedietly?

Sounds like it wasn't cooked long enough. Will need to hear it up again in the crock pot and continue cooking

You got it! 3% of 893.57g is 26.81g of essential oil for your blend. You can go as high as 5% also which is 44.65g

@@DawnOrganics❤ thank you can you explain this please 3% Lavender French / Australian (Aussie Soap Supplies) + 1% May Chang / Litsea Cubeba (Heirloom Body Care) + 1% Cedarwood Atlas (New Directions) + 0.7% Natural Vitamin E (AWO) How calculate in 893.57 g if used small molds thank you

It's a percentage of your total oil amount in your recipe percentagecalculator.net/ Use this calculator to make it easier

@@DawnOrganics thank you so much ❤️🙏

Thanks for the tip Jan. I realized when I was unmoulding I was too excited to try this recipe 🤣🤣🤣 that's very interesting maybe that could be the reason it isn't dissolving properly try without and see. Although I don't think it would be the reason, they both should dissolve fine but you never know! I've been using sugar syrup for a while now so can't say for certain, I haven't dissolved sugar in the lye solution in a long while now and we'll before I started using sodium gluconate 🙏🙏🙏

@@DawnOrganics I meant I am adding the sugar syrup to the lye water as well as the sodium gluconate

Ahh yes I understand, in either scenario I don't feel it would stop SG dissolving, but you never know, try and see if it works! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, I love it already it will only get better as it cures 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you kindly much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

That's great, I think you will love it 🙏🙏🙏

Oh! And I forgot I wanted to say I think you did the right thing lowering your coconut to 20% alongside tallow for the perfect amount of lather plus gentleness! I use 20% coconut in my tallow bars too and the lather is incredible but not drying at all!

Thanks Holly. Yes I agree it's a good idea to use it and not let it go to waste. I love them already been using that tester to wash my hands with. Makes my hands feel silky. That recipe sounds very nice I bet that would be nice on the skin to! Yes indeed I knew to lower it, I prefer to see the cleansing traits on the lower side in lyecalc, I wasn't comfortable with 25 or 30% coconut oil. I have used some tallow bars a long while ago which were very drying, The ratio of oil made it a drying bar on the first use 🙏🙏🙏

139g although you should always run it through a lye calculator even if someone shares their recipes

@@DawnOrganics thanks yes i normally do. 🌷

@@dianatarrant8214 🙏🙏🙏

@DawnOrganics between you and Elly im always inspired to try new things. Blessed to have you both sharing your passions.🦋

That's so sweet. Thank you. I love watching Ellys videos, they are so relaxing and informative 🙏

Heirloom body care, it's very well priced. Also I have an affiliate with them to, you can save 5% on your order over $75. Affiliate information and code available in description 🙏

Thankyou. Love your videos. 💜

@@dianatarrant8214 thank you kindly 🙏

Heirloom Body Care sells it now🙂 I know I found that Tasmanian brand too which looks top quality but so expensive and only small amounts, not ideal for soap makers lol.

Thankyou.🥰🦋

Thanks so much 🙏 very kind. They are good little moulds aren't they? It's lovely to work with, overall very impressed with the tallow. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏

Great video George. I haven’t used tallow but I do use lard and I love it. A tip for working with individual moulds is to set them out on a chopping board or even inside the lid of an A4 box. If you need to tap them for bubbles you can pick the board or box up without stretching the sides of the moulds. And putting the sugar solution in the eo blew my mind! I was putting it the water with the sodium gluconate and that’s probably why I have trouble dissolving it. I can’t wait to try your way now.

Yes indeed, I think everything we use in our day to day has some sort of sourcing / ethical issue if we dive into that topic. It's whatever is right for the individual. I think tallow is amazing, it just ends up in landfill, best to use it for soap making I say or even cooking. Tallow is making a huge comeback 🙏🙏🙏

That's awesome, I am really liking it also 🙏

You're very welcome man, yes I love it, just finished cleaning everything 🤣🤣🙏🙏

Hehe thank you, always sneaky sniffs! Have to smell em! They are very nice fragrances I am a fan of the heirloom ones. Very nice. They are big and chunky and one is lasting me more than a month! Crazy how long these last. 🙏🙏

@ I will have to put an order in. I adore your soaps and it will be a while before I make any again. Xxx

If only it was that fast lol. I’m going to have to bite the bullet and dust off the scary slab mould. You’ve inspired me!

Ooh you should, I love slabs I remember I was very nervous my first few times now It's my favorite to work with 🙏

Thanks so much Elaine 🙏🙏

Thank you! I'm going back to cigar bands for all my bars now. Even though I moved to boxes, going back! They are more appealing

@@DawnOrganics I agree. Show them off in all their glory 👌🫧

They really do they have been popular so far. 🙏🙏

Thank you 😊🙏 it's just a non chatty video. Nothing over the top ! 😁

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏red Australian clay is no longer mined sadly

@@DawnOrganics Thank you.

Thanks for watching! personally no because it's such a small amount of water and I always work with a very steep water discount

@@DawnOrganics Ok thank you. This video informed me that I could use salt.

Yes indeed, a lot of citric acid is synthetically produced. However I have been using a citric acid that is made from fermentation of corn which is nice that it's made from a natural source (from heirloom body care). Also we have to remember it is no longer citric acid once added to soap, it is converted to sodium citrate. Also this is a much better ingredient to use than EDTA and other chelators, they are also very bad for our health and do no biodegrade, very bad for our waterways

Thanks for watching, always a pleasure to see a comment from you ❤️ indeed isn't it, the vikor palm oil comes from Africa and they heavily rely on it like Shea butter and palm kernel oil, that's what drives their economy. It isn't so black and white 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you kindly, oh not peasants at all 🙏🙏🙏

There's a familiar face, thank you kindly 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks Cass, appreciate you so much. It really is very healing and feels good to get back into it. It creates a beautiful lather indeed, I really love it

@ awww. Xxxx I can’t wait to try your new recipe. I will have to get my new room set up very soon. Xxxx

Thank you kindly Elaine, yes sadly there is. Soaping gets us through for sure 🙏❤️

@@DawnOrganics Yes, soaping is a mindfulness exercise for me, really focused so that I don't make a mistake. Haven't made any in months. I need a fix!

Oh you must! Can't be having a soaoaholic without making soap 😉

Thank you kindly, and for watching. It really is fun, been enjoying it a lot. It's such a great outlet and stress reliever 🙏🙏🙏

@ I agree. It's my happy place 🥰😁🧼

Thank you, good to be back 🙏🙏🙏

🙏🙏🙏

🙏🙏🙏

Hi Susan, thanks for the big compliment! Much appreciated. It's under Aromatherapy Rollers & Blends. Although they are very small, because it would be a little costly in large quantities to sell

Are you referring to liquid soap?

@DawnOrganics no milk and juice

Nice. Is that Elly by any chance?.I watched that video this morning, it does look wonderful 🙏

You probably could, id say anywhere between 8-10% superfat for 50/50 coco rice bran. Just depends on your skin and climate of where you live, best to make very small batches and see which one you like better. Personally I haven't tried it so would be interesting to see

I watched your other video that was Rice bran, soyabean and coconut oil soap. Can you please tell me about that soap?

It's a nice mild bar, gentle and inexpensive. If you can get your hands on those three oil combos at a good price definitely try it out

Correct. I use Himalayan pink salt

Thank you, much appreciated. I literally just cut a new batch of that right now, hehe 🙏

Lye calc will tell you how much citric acid and extra lye you will need. I have a tutorial on lyecalc if you want to check it out

@@DawnOrganics Got it. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for watching! Liquid soap can last for years, I have used within 3 years and perfectly fine

@@DawnOrganicsIs it for undiluted or diluted version last for an year?

@@ps-bh9ct personally, both have lasted me longer than a year

@@DawnOrganics Thats good to hear. Thanks a lot.

recipe information available in description, this has a superfat of 5%

Thank you kindly. Oh I hope so indeed, outrageous prices at the moment

Thanks for watching. To reduce the likelihood of sweating, you can place a dehumidifier in the room where the soaps cure, also water discounting can help. These won't guarantee they won't sweat but won't be as bad

@@DawnOrganics Thanks a ton 😀 Does sweating has any impact on the quality of soap ?

No impact on quality at all, in fact it's a good indication it's a very good quality soap with an adequate amount of glycerine from your oil combination in your recipe

@@DawnOrganics Thats good to hear. Thanks a lot.
