Hi I like what you are doing I really want learn how to make soap pls can you teach me???

[@elisabethblackwood3921]

I usually like to mix my activated charcoal with some oil before I put it in the soap batter, it helps prevent the poof and it prevents little speckles from forming, which you sometimes get with charcoal.

I just made this and it turned out beautifully. Great recipe. Good balance of activated charcoal as it is just enough to make the soap black and the bubbles are just barely tinged gray. Love it. Thank you. Will be doing this again.

[@kaywiththevibes]

Thank you for your honest feedback. I love reading ACTUAL reviews from people who have applied the method.

[@southsidediggers6905]

I'm just getting started making soap and I have been watching hours and hours of videos and this is by far my favorite one so far. I dont know why but it put me in mind of a super hero and her sidekick.

[@meowscutie]

Charcoal isn't mud though and lots of people use clay/mud masks. charcoal is burnt plant materials, it happens before ash, if you continue to burn something it'll turn into ash from charcoal. activated charcoal is special in that the materials used are safe and it's been blasted with hot air top expand it.

[@meowscutie]

it doesn't attract water, it attracts impurities. this can be proven by putting it in water, it floats on the top and stays dry. it attracts things that are negatively charged, which are impurities.

[@mrzhyde9139]

I wish I saw your comment a moment ago, I JUST commented on how inaccurate her information was and pointed out the difference between clay/mud and charcoal.

[@eduardaarrais]

Rose Ray sorry but to what comment were you answering? can you explain me what you mean? i say "clay" and got scared because i like to use clay sometimes so...

[@TeenyTinyDevil]

actually activated charcoal is just 3/4 charcoal and 1/4 calcium chloride.. oh and charcoal is made when you heat something but you dont let enough air reach it to burn.

[@kenalexandremeridi]

Luka Potocnik rose ray Would the activated charcoal just absorb the soap and render the whole thing useless? I'm confused. Like would the charcoal absorb the oil and not have any affect on the skin??

To those who attempt to make this soap I hope that you have previous experience in cold press soap. I ordered all of the ingredients listed and followed this video twice and my two attempts were very unsuccessful due to missing information in the video. I wanted to try and make a third batch but I used all of the ingredients. I reached out to Bramble Berry in hopes that they would help out with maybe a partial return or discount to help order more and I was told that not only is Bramble Berry not liable for how our projects come out but this recipe is an advanced recipe and there are two other videos that goes with this one and they recommend outside research on the viewers end. There is no disclaimer that states any of that. I am very disappointed due to the fact that my time, effort, and money spent was wasted. I am a business owner and was wanting to have this soap in my shop but I am very tuned off by the customer service or lack of and will no longer make future purchases from them. My experience with them motivates me to have even better customer service in my shop than I already have so I do want to thank them for that.

I never use palm oil because it causes serious harm to environment and it's causing orangutans extinction. But I love the idea and I'm definitely trying this, but I must substitute the palm oil with something not so harmful.

[@theshade1000]

maybe you ought to change your palm oil suppliers if they kill orangutans on the side. hard word to spell. orangutans. got some good palm down in west Africa for dirt cheap. and i've never seen an orangutan down by the beach. jams. have faith. peace.

[@fridayschild722]

This is definitely a serious issue, not only due to deforestation, but also due to pollution and destruction of fertile lands. Indonesia is I believe the largest exporter of palm oil and when Farmers want to start fresh crops, they raze the land as they cannot afford to use machines to clear the land. This causes a huge situation with haze and this effect is felt for over weeks in neighbouring countries. I live in Singapore and sometimes the situation is so bad due to high PSI readings that people have severe breathing problems that most offices issue masks to employees and sometimes government advices people to not step outside due to pollution. Unless demand for Palm oil is controlled this situation will not cease.

[@Prosecute-fauci]

Fridays Child or if the farmers simply said, "no" to the market. They are making the decision to destroy the land, not the market.

[@fridayschild722]

Yidris I did some basic research to understand why this was being done when I initially came to SG, the palm plantation is a fast yielding crop and gets better cash due to global demand. The government does very minimal subsidies or so I understand, so it's easier for them to raze their land as they are looking at the bottom line. But neighbouring countries like SG and MY are severely affected and there have been several talks at a governmental level to control this, but nothing as moved on so far. It's really hard to see little kids suffering from breathing difficulties, so I personally cannot condone use of palm. Two issues are at the bottom of it, the country's inaction and global demand for palm. You don't have to agree, as everyone has a point of view.

[@Rin_Chawngthu]

We don't have orangutans in our land. So we're good. But, the haze needs attention and action done

Yes you could try it. I would recommend mixing your activated charcoal with your oils first (you have to stir quite vigorously) then add the oil mixture to your melted melt and pour base to avoid clumps of charcoal and ensure an even suspension. Then pour it into molds. With the oils don't add a large amount as they might separate just a couple of milliliters to enhance the soap. Sorry for the long answer, hope this helps.
