HP soapmakers - are you still salting out the excess water or no?

So the only person in the states I've seen salt out is Kendra from Soapy Friends but she uses it a rebatch method which I have done after her tutorial on it. BUT...there is a channel called Traditional Soaping , I think she's in S.Korea, that uses salting out as her main way of making soap from start to finish It's an intriguing method that I totally want to explore more! Also carrot soap is on my list of to do's. So great timing on this carroty series!

So I’ve been making my own Hydrosol without a distiller. I found the idea off some KZbin videos. I use a big stainless steel stock pot and turn one heat safe glass bowl upside down inside the pot. Then I use a 2nd heat safe glass bowl or Pyrex dish right side up and place it on the glass bowl inside the pot. I then put my rose petals, carrots, apples, strawberries ect.. into the bottom of the pot around the glass bowl that’s upside down. Then I pour my distilled water over the rose petals, carrots, apples ect until they are covered and the water is about 3/4 the way up the side of the upside down bowl. I turn the lid of the stock pot upside down so that the steam that rises will catch and roll down to the point of the lid and drop into the top right side up glass bowl that’s inside the stock pot. Turn the heat on medium low so the water in the bottom doesn’t boil and splash up into the top bowl your collecting your hydrosol in. Of course sterilize everything first and you can also put ice cubes in a bag and place that bag on top of the upside down lid, this helps the steam condense faster on the inside of that lid and speeds up the process. For those of us who don’t have a distiller laying around lol . And Ann Marie’s everything is too expensive for my blood. And that sucks because she does have some FO that I’ve tried that I really like, but I can’t justify the expense personally.

Sounds like a great setup! Yeah I’ve said for years that Anne Marie is for the hobbyist soapmaker, but now I’m starting to think that she’s just grifting my god. These prices are WILD. Hobby soapers are better off going to the local craft store.

Will definitely be trying this DIY method of distillation ... Man, I must say our bunch(the S&C fam) are extremely clever at finding ways to cut cost and do it ourselves!! ❤❤❤It's awesome not having to depend on others for things we need or want.

Wholesale supplies plus has carrot seed oil on sale for $27.27.for 1lb. On their SDS sheet it says it’s cold pressed carrot seed oil not essential oil. Brambleberry wants $90 For 16 ounces of their carrot seed oil and on their SDS sheet, I couldn’t find even an INCI name. That’s insanely expensive. I think she sleeps on a mattress firm mattress… I had to go look all that up after all of this conversation about it. Just wow… 🤯

Its interesting to learn all that.. not depending on a supplier for getting the additives you need for your line is a plus especially when you know how cheap it can be to do it yourself.. i had a similar experience with the liquid soap thickener i purchased and paid like $20 for 16 oz of corthix as its called in bb site.. i ran out and had to find an alternative which was HEC in powder form from a local supplier. A bottle of 250 g coast like $5 and a tiny amount is required to do the job with a fraction of the price. As well as the extracts they have.. i can do it at home and save my money.. thank you for all the information you provide its greatly appreciated ❤

Love that distiller! Mrs, I have my own copper distiller, I do make some Hydrosols, but never done good Hydrosols, been curious if all of them should be water distilled or steam distilled? Or ir depends on the fruit/vegetable? I am so wishing to make strawberries Hydrosol as it costs an arm and leg around here. Thanks for all info!!

You have said that you used shredded carrot…does that mean the leftover from the juicing or did you fine grate a raw carrot???
@MrsSoapAndClay
@MrsSoapAndClay 6 ай бұрын
Hey! Shredded carrots for infusions to get all the benefits possible. The leftovers from juicing contain some benefits, but far less than unjuiced.

What do you think about using hydrolat instead water in soap making?
@MrsSoapAndClay
@MrsSoapAndClay 6 ай бұрын
Hey! When you put botanicals in your lye solution and strain them out before pouring, effectively you’re making a quick hydrosol. I think it’s a great incorporation into your soaps!

Hi, I've been following your channel for a few weeks now and binge watching when ever I have time. Thank you, I have learned so much from you. I have a question unrelated to this video, I'm a new soap maker. I made a basic recipe which I made before, but this time I made it into a confetti soap. My ph is 10 is that too high and do I need to rebatch this soap? Previously it was 7.
@MrsSoapAndClay
@MrsSoapAndClay 6 ай бұрын
Hey! pH of 10 is fine. Let it sit for a few weeks and test it again - sometimes it takes a bit longer to mellow out, but 10 is perfectly acceptable for soaps.

So I have a question about the carrot seed extraction. I don’t have a distiller that can separate out the essential oils from the hydrosol. But I was wondering if we can crush up the seeds and extract them in our oils, like you did with the rosehips? Would we be able to get any of their goodness out of them that way?
@MrsSoapAndClay
@MrsSoapAndClay 5 ай бұрын
Hey! You sure can, I would recommend starting with a heat phase and then letting them steep for a few weeks just to help extract the goodness from the seeds.

Thank you so much! Yes I have a garden full of carrots that have gone to seed and I wanted to try this. I’ll harvest them and give it a go, and let you know how it turns out❤️

When making the carrot oil and you shred the carrots and put them directly into the oil, why must you dehydrate the carrot before adding it to the oil?
@MrsSoapAndClay
@MrsSoapAndClay 4 ай бұрын
Hey! Dehydrating the carrots removes the water content, so you’re less likely to have rotting while infusing.

Regardless of the description that does sound quite misleading, could the oil on brambleberry be cold pressed carrot seed oil? The only thing O can think of that could fit that price tag…
@MrsSoapAndClay
@MrsSoapAndClay 6 ай бұрын
This is what I’m saying! I would have figured it was a carrot seed essential oil based on the price tag, but they’ve listed saponification value and their description says it’s upcycled from the juice and jam industry. Carrot seeds don’t come from the vegetable itself but from the top, and I doubt they’d have wasted seeds from that because the people that are harvesting are taking those heads and harvesting to make more carrots before going to the juice factory. The rabbit hole I went down on this one.

The site plainly states Carrot Oil (Macerated). So it's definitely pulp from carrots.
