Welcome to the channel, I'm glad the information is helpfull and thank you for the kind compliment. I appreciate you 🌿

Jip. Tot die katte loop agter my aan 😄

Hi Judy. Nee ongelukkig nie, byewas is wonderlik in balms en kan in klein hoeveelhede in room gebruik word om die vel teen vog verlies te beskerm maar dit is nie n emulsifier nie. Emulsifying wax is n spesifike soort was waar die molekules se twee punte een hydrophobic (lief vir water) and lipophilic (lief vir olie) is en die water en olie in n stabiele emulsie vashou. Byewss het net lipophilic kante en hou net aan olie vas. As jy water en byewas meng en jy het die perfekte verhouding en temperatuur kan jy die water tydelik tussen was molekules vasvang en dit lyk of dit n emulsie vorm maar sodra die was warm word, of geroer word as afgekoel het skei dit weer in olie en water.

Hi Sue. The free version only alows you to save one or two recipes online but you can use it as many times as you want. Here is a way how to save your formulated recipes offline on your computer, a good habit even if you have a paid membership. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHvTdWqVl91gnqM

Hi Nadia. I used 90% Tallow, 10% Coconut oil. (For laundry soap like in this video 1% superfat, you can use this as bathing soap as well, then I increase the superfat to 5%) the duel lye is 90% NaOH and 10% KOH. 🌿⚘

Groot plesier Stephan, my ouma het ook beesvet gebruik vir seep, skaapvet het in die wors ingegaan en varkvet was gebruik vir braai en panne uitsmeer, sy het regte plaasbotter gemaak. Ek dink die hoofrede was/is dat bees niervet nie eetbaar is nie, dis soos was, dit plak aan jou tong en tande vas, dis net goed vir seep en kerse maak , so hulle het toe maar seep en kerse daarvan gemaak enbdie ander vet vir ander goed gebruik.

You are most welcome Sue, thank you for your support all the way from Australia 🤗 It is so nice to hear where you all are from 😎

Thank you so much Roxane. I appreciate your support on my channel 🌿

@@saponify6677 I have a daughter that only uses beef tallo on her skin, so with getting ready for my first market of the season here , making emulsified body butters is a must and I live in a farming community so my hopes that it is big this year. It’s my first year selling my soaps and lotions.

You will have to find a cosmetic ingredient supplier. I have listed a list of Amazon links in this video if amazon might be an option for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ3MaWdnbc5marM

If you are in South Africa - essentially natural (online shop)

@@lunellevanniekerk2987 Thank you, and I am in South Africa

Mmmm 🤔 I'm not sure, It might very well be, I do have some lanolin, I'll compare the fat and lanolin and let you know in the next comparison video. Thank you for the pointer because it's been bugging me, because It is a familiar scent. 🌿🌻

Thank you, The soap comparison video will be Coming soon (next month after curing) 😁

@@saponify6677 Thank you very much

Thank you for your support and kind feedback ❤

In Afrikaans we call it niervet "kidney fat", it does render less smelly, I think its because there is less blood and beefy bits that can turn into crackling. The colour depends a lot on the animals diet and age. Before I discovered Maureen I bought fat from different sources and even though it was all organ fat the colour varied from pure white to light butter yellow but are always hard, the suet fat is much softer (squishy) and almost liquid at room temperature, and very prone to Saterday BBQ fragrance

Thanks 😅 I thought it was "Very vague" 😂

Maureen's Tallow is a true blessing, I used to render my own beef Tallow but this is a great time saver and a great product. I bought from other suppliers before that smelled terrible.

Thank you so much. They sometimes takes just as long as making and editing the videos 😁🌿

Castor oil is great for a nice creamy lather but being a unsaturated oil it will not contribute to hardness or longevity at all, if you use more than 10% castor oil in a formulation it can start to negatively effect your soap in the sense that it becomes leathery and sticky before you get to the point that it really softens your soap. Canola and sunflower oils are lovely oils to soap with but they are also high in unsaturated fatty acids (Linoleic and Linolenic) and in high concentrations can cause rancidity (DOS - Dreaded orange spots) Between the two I would rather use some Canola than Sunflower, both will result in a softer soap. For longevity you need to use something high in stearic acid or palmitic acid like, palm oil, shea butter, tallow or isolated stearic acid or soy wax in small quantities 10%

Glad you find it interesting, I don't mind sharing information that could help someone else. Life is way too short to make all the mistakes ourselves😄

Great suggestion Jaco! Will see where I can fit it in.

​@@saponify6677schweeeeet!

Hope you are going to like it!

Hope you enjoy, an please give feedback how it works for you, I'm always curious to hear back from people who might have a different quality of water from mine.

Ek gaan die een beslis geniet. As die plaas saamspeel record ek die eerste een môre en sal hy in die volgende week gereed wees. Watch this space 😉

Ek is saam opgewonde oor die een.

I'm only familiar with Beef Tallow and love it. It seems like I might find a new love or maybe just another. Let's see if I agree with you. 😎

Thank you so much, it does make things more stress free.

Overall my only " dislike " is still the schlep to clean under the 4 blades after soapmaking. It's noisy in the level of stick blender noisy but nothing excessive, the speed controll is a nice feature and I found that I blend most on the lowest speed. It stood up under some heavy batches without a problem, and I chopped quite a bit of herbs for oil infusions with the chopper unit. All in all it's performing well so far.

Thank you for the quick reply back😊. Got it today and already put it to use. Very satisfied with it. Grateful for your video. Baie dankie!

I tend do divide my life into compartments apparently. Even with Life coaching, I'm either a life coach or a friend but chances that I'm gonna coach you or even just listen for limiting beliefs over a cup of tea propably never gonna happen. For some reason it never occurred to me that youtube and HerbOil could overlap 😄 or that people who want to lean how to make their own products would be interested in what I sell. 🤷

There are so many herbs seen as weeds, but I don't think it's declared as invasive. I grow my own Broad leaf Plantain (Plantago Major) but I do know the Plantago Lanceolata (narrow leaf plantain) grows in abundance wild along the west coast, Dannabay, Mosselbay, Kleinbrak all the way inland to George, and I've found some on the sidewalks in Pretoria/Centurion and Pietersburg as well.

Way too long 😄

I think it's because they can use the pork fat in sausages but the beef organ fat is yucky to eat and propably gets discarded if not sold.

I agree, although for some reason I prefer working in inches when sewing, maybe because it's printed larger and I can read the measuring tape without my glasses 😄.

Dis n vooreg om jou friendy te wees. ❤🌿

😂😂

Die prys sal most probably vir nog n maand of wat bly soos dit is, ek moet nog eers uit figure hoenom labor te calculate 😉

Ai ek wens maar dit is so bietjie wyd uit. 😄

Hi Hendrietta, dankie en groot plesier. Sodra hulle uitgedroog is kan ek nie sien hoekom jy hulle nie individueel toe, kan draai nie. Jy kan selfs die bestandele meng en oopsprei om as "krummels" droog te word en dan net n opgehoopte eetlepel vol krummels op n slag gebruik.

Hi Mari. I'm gonna visit you to do my nails 😉🌿

You are most welcome. Well done on taking the first step making your first batch of soap. Luckily bubbles are purely cosmetic, it might not look nice but it is still soap, it will clean 😉

Thank you so much for the feedback and blessings Victoria. I don't mind sharing the lessons I've learned, we all need all the help we can get. I've got a bit of a "motto" in life. Learn from other people's mistakes because life is too short to make them all by yourself. Thank you for your support, I appreciate you. 🌿

You are most welcome Jaco, it is so true regarding not being able to "see" Kragdag, I still wanted to come and visit your stall but never got round to it. Next time 😉

Hi Susan. Groot plesier, my whatsapp nomme ris 0832722196, jy is welkom om vir my te stuur dan kyk ek vir jou.

Hi. Stearic acid is a fatty acid that will harden your soap and produce shaving foam like lather. The amount you can use will depend on your recipe. Let me know if you need help formulating. Or do you want to know about Citric acid. Citric and Stearic are two completely different ingredients sometimws causing a lot of confusion.

@@saponify6677 I meant citric acid. Yes mam I need help

Hi Aussigal. (Love your youtube name 😎) Thank you for trusting my recipe and well done for making it, adjusting the recipe according to your ingredients available, and nailing it. I am Glad you love your butter. For a richer butter you can swop out some of your liquid oil for more Tallow, or you can increase the oil content but you might need to increase the emulsifying wax accordingly. You need the right amount of emulsifying wax to hold the oily ingredients and water together. Depending on your emulsifier it is Usually between 25% and 35% of your OIL weight (not total weight) I've shared a basic formulation sheet on our fb page that will make formulation adjustments easier. facebook.com/share/p/iv6Kcy8qwLwXExDK/?mibextid=oFDknk

Thank you for your support. I appreciate you 🌿

Thank you for popping in and all your support, online as well as buying from me. Dit you mention that you follow my channel ? I'm not making a connection from your youtube xile name to a face 🌿

Groot plesier Nicolette, ek waardeer die terugvoer. Die was my eerste "real time" video, ek was nie seker of dit position ontvang sou word nie. Ek waardeer jou 🌿

Well done! Some Ideas (even great ones) should just stay an Idea 😋 At least you have earned your T-shirt for Brave Soap Pour-der of the Year.

Hi Nadine, you are most welcome. I have uploaded a basic formulation sheet on our fb page that will make this easier for you. It depends on what type of Vitamin B you want to use. I would start at the lower end and work it up to see what your skin loves. D Panthenol B5 usage rate is 1-5% and Niacinamide B3 usage rate is 1 - 10% facebook.com/share/p/9te7fxR47okWra4E/

You are always welcome 🌿
