My first bar of soap I made was melt and pour with oats. I just threw those oats in there and used the bar in the shower the next morning. OMG it felt like razors going across my chest! Lol but i was so damn proud I made the soap, it was hard for me to put down 😂 i learned my lesson. And if you want to sell your oat soaps and not get sued, PUT THE OATS IN A BLENDER lol

I really listened. I just have a question. I saw a video of a young lady who used a base, and she added like a teaspoon of glycerin. Will that effect it? Will it help? Sorry to bother you. I haven't done anything yet. But when I get some melt and pour I really want to know what you think. Thank you so very much for your in depth vid.
@ashg40453 жыл бұрын
When you increase the glycerin, it is more moisturizing, but it also increases how much the soap will sweat.

Hi there , What do you think about adding butters to your soap base in small amounts ? I love mango butter and have sensitive skin so I use sls free soap base and add a small amount to it. It doesn't change my base at all I've tested it a lot but I do wonder if it actually makes much moisturising difference to it or is it in my head because I love using it. Many thanks Laura xxx
@805Soap7 жыл бұрын
Like I said in the the video it makes no sense to me, but go ahead and try it...butters and oils are the same amount 1 tsp per pound. Butters like Mango will harden the bar but you will loose lather if you use too much. Thanks for watching.
@805Soap7 жыл бұрын
You might not be using the right glycerin soap, with that said there are many manufacturers that have different bases, not all bases are drying to the skin...you might want to try them all to find out, that's what I did. Yes you can add 1% to your base but your adding cost to your base & inventory if you don't have the oils or butters. Thanks for watching.
@shuvieify7 жыл бұрын
Would you use coffee ore tea grounds in your base? I read that the caffeine dehydrates fat cells, making the skin smoother. It's also used in de-puffing eye gels as a vasoconstrictor, to temporarily tighten skin and reduce dark circles.
@805Soap7 жыл бұрын
Yes you can use coffee or tea grounds in your base....BUT making claims that it will cure puffy eyes or tighten skin is considered a cosmetic and must be reviewed by the FDA....be very careful if your making claims the FDA is watching. You are simply making soap a wash off product with additives. Thank you for watching if you would like more information google the FDA for soap and it will help you understand.

Hello, I just started watching your videos a couple months ago. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I love watching you. Your soaps always turn out nice and you're very informative. I learn more and more. I started making soaps around 7years ago. I've found that a little additional oil in the melt and pour base isn't bad. You can't put too much though or your soap will feel like a rubber ball and look like silly putty. Once I tried again with a tiny bit of oil I found my soap to be very creamy and lathered nicely. It's extra moisturizing too. You are right about those oats. I grind mine down into dust and then put it in the soap. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.😊
