I made my laundry detergent using only coconut oil soap, washing soda and citric acid. Thank you for sharing
@ThermalMermaidАй бұрын
Oh interesting to know. I was just playing with a dish washing powder with coconut and citric acid vs. coconut and borax.... The citric acid did better in the rinse phase stripping that after left over soap residue! Its interesting to know you use it in your clothes too.

@ThermalMermaidАй бұрын
I'm so sorry for your loss. Did his drs. know what caused it or do you think you have any idea?
@happycustomer3448Ай бұрын
@ThermalMermaid well when they did his biopsy it had 47 heads and they all had given birth and all the babies spread Ed stage 4 DEand c. But everything he would use store bought soaps his cancer would increase and the Dr's. Would say it was the soap. Also when he ate starches and potatoes and rich any food that converted into sugars even the shelled fish and pork! Is why is important to use natural form keratin and plant based dehydrated colorings for the soaps and essential oils and natural lemon and orange rinds for aromas.

i wish you didn't use the term "chemical" as if it was a bad thing. borax is a chemical, washing soda is a chemical, and soap is a chemical. it's the product of a chemical reaction. and eveything in life is a chemical and a product of chemical reactions. what you mean to say is that industrial detergent like tide might contain dioxane as a contaminant, which happens all the time to all brands. the same contaminant and other contaminants might be present in the borax you're using, the washing soda, the coconut oil that you saponified, and the lye. it all depends on the supplier. all you can do is hope for good quality control, even better if the supplier discloses the quality control analysis for each batch of the raw material you're buying. any decent supplier does it. but brands don't. which is why sometimes there are checks and they find an over-the-limit amount of contaminants and recall some products.
@ThermalMermaidАй бұрын
I appreciate your point. I often make the same point to others when they argue the difference between fragrance oils and EOs being natural vs. chemical... They're all chemical, so I get what you're saying. I think the difference here is significant in that the items banned have been tested to be above the allowable levels and this would assume that the other products like borax and washing soda were also tested and found not to exceed the approved levels of any prohibited inclusion. In no way am I claiming that a combination or borax, washing soda, and soap is a 'natural' product... (despite that term being pretty ambigous)... but using a true soap in a laundry powder vs. the a product that has been adjudicated as not acceptable for well being, in my opinion, is a significant change.... enough so that I only wash my clothes this way now, and I'm not crunchy by any stretch. Thank you for taking the time to write your post. I understand your point of view and it's a breath of fresh air to hear from someone who thoughtfully knows what they're talking about.

@@ThermalMermaid it's so nice of you to say this <3 yes ! it's drives me mad as well that people think essential oils are safe, but it's suppliers' fault (they wanna sell them so they advertise them as such). EOs are fragrance compounds, and fragrance oils are made of essential oils, parts of essential oils, absolutes and such, and synthetic compounds that are the exact replica of what's in EOs. my first internship as a chemist was in the complex analysis of essential oils, and each one contains 100 to 200 compounds, most of them minor, and many of them unindentified. all fragrant compounds are irritants in general, but it's the minor compounds that are endocrine disruptors, contaminants, estrogen-like and such, etc. i gave myself a giant ovarian cyst and emergency surgery after using tea tree oil with no information on its safety... and many people give their kids ceisures and such after using EOs on them, because each one is a bomb of dangerous active compounds that need to be strictly regulated and diluted a lot.

I really enjoyed your video. Very interesting to learn about the lye ratios. It would have been perfect if your video would include a lather test of your soaps (or even better, different shaving soaps with different lye ratios).

Thank you so much for sharing this! I recently made my 1st 100% coconut milk soap, the milk was frozen, but it still curdled. I went ahead with the batch and it turned out okay. Your soap looks smooth whereas mine was still lumpy even after quite a bit of stick blending. I’ve been a little nervous to gift these soaps thinking there may be lye pockets, but your video has given me the peace of mind I needed! 🥰

Can you ship this without problems in this heat
@ThermalMermaidАй бұрын
The problem with shipping is that your packages can be subjected to temperatures in a shipping container or in a truck that can get close to the sun and so it's precarious. So if we say shipping, like you can pack this up and transport it in a box in your car and set it on a table on a summer day at 90 degrees and put it on display and then pack it up and bring it home.... then yes, you can do that over and over...... but if you are going to mail one of these to arizona in august and it might be sitting in a mail metal mail truck for 8 hours and get over 200 degrees... probably not.

Give them a little time to dry up after you slice, then spritz w rubbing alcohol and they become crystal clear. After a while the surfaces cloud up but when you pick it up and get it wet it washes away the thin film of cloudiness and is crystal clear again.
