Garden Mint and Lime Soap Making

[@amandaemerson4466]

I really love that your thumbnail is of some middle point in the process and not the finished bars. I hate seeing the finished product before I watch the video on any start to finish or before and after videos. I come to watch the process and enjoy the finished result a million times more when I see the work it took to get there. I also love that you just have music, it makes it extremely relaxing to me. Your soaps are gorgeous!

That soap looks beautiful. 😍😍

[@WonkoAndJill4Eva]

Watching you mix and pour I thought, That looks okay, but it’s not one of my faves. But that cut! The swirls and the color shift, so subtle and peaceful. Superb! Thank you!

[@HaitianChica100]

When you add your colorants do you add/mix them with oils first before putting them into your soap batter? Is that water you’re adding with the colorants? If so is that mandatory, what is the reason for doing this? I’m new to all of this, thanks for the info/advice

[@OpheliasSoapery]

I sometimes mix the colorant with olive oil. But 99% of the time I just put in the mica powder dry and mix with a whisk.

Watching the different techniques: what are the pros and cons of the heat transfer method, versus pouring both oils and lye and room temperature? Still beautiful products!!!

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Mainly it’s just different temperatures and time. With heat transfer you soap a little warmer than at room temperature. With heat transfer you can soap right away. You pour your hot lye and let it melt your oils. With room temperature you have to wait for your lye water to go from over 200° down to around 80-90°. I like both methods. Sometimes I’ll do heat transfer and other days I’ll do room temperature. Really depends on if i plan ahead. Outcome of the soap is exactly the same. :)

Love it. 💚

[@blissnaturals]

So nice!😍 How many oz do your bars come out to be?

[@gymnopodie1]

When you use this method does it expose you longer to the lye fumes?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Not it seems the same as room temperature soaping.

[@thandiwolfe813]

Do you get the same number of bars of soap out of batch that uses a water discount as you do without the water discount? Other than faster curing time and reduced chances of glycerine rivers, what difference does the water discount make?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Yes you get the same amount of bars but they may be taller with no discount since you’re using more water. I use a water discount so you are able to unmold faster.

[@pbest.propertyagent7026]

What do you use in making this soap I want to practice it please

[@bailey5519]

If you don’t mind me asking Why do you add fragrance individually to each color instead of stick blending it in?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

So my batter will stay fluid longer. If I added it all in the beginning it would be too thick to do layers.

[@rebeccaburrow7199]

Fragrance is also almost always where if something will go wrong, it will. Every fragrance oil acts differently and some can act really badly. It is wise to make it the very last addition to mitigate any potential bad effects.

[@canna-envydiyinfusions8199]

Beautiful 🎉

[@tarafoster4292]

How many ounces is this mold? How many bars of soap does this make?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

I think it held around 180-200 ounces and made 40 bars. It’s been a while since I used it :)
