Hi Lisa, thank you so much for giving so much detail for making these salt bars. I’ve been having a problem when I’m curing salt bars & then storing them. Even if I use only 10% of salt in relation to my total oil batch,they sweat & feel slightly wet to the touch. I just don’t want to make them for that reason. Do you have any tips or tricks in that regard.

The salt bars do not tend to be exfoliating, they are actually pretty smooth, as long as you use a fine grain salt

Can you add the salt to the water first then add the Lye to the water? Or does it have to be added in after like you have done? Please and thank you from NZ

[@IDreamInSoap]

I don't think you can add the salt to the water in such an amount. To be honest I've never done it. People do it for brine bars but the salt percentage is much lower

[@my6crazykids]

@@IDreamInSoap ok thank you we will just try your recipe 😊

[@meikalaszlo9902]

I'm sure I missed it but how do you determine how much salt & clay to use? LOVE your videos!!! Thank you!

[@elainem7722]

It's in the Soapy Maths section of the video. Her mold holds 91% of the original recipe amount, so all ingredients were multiplied by 91%. If your mold holds 50% of the original recipe amount, you multiply the ingredients by 50%, which would be 200g salt and 5g clay.

[@dragonpai9202]

Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for all your explanations, you are such a good teacher :-) I am just concerned if I discount the 15 gr of water to mix with the clay, this won't be enough water to dissolve with the lye? Thank you!

[@IDreamInSoap]

As long as you have at least as much water to lye in weight you will be fine

[@Jan-23]

Hi Lisa, a great video once again. I made some salt bars but they were soft, I think I didn't mix them enough. It has been a few months now and they are still soft. Question: can I rebatch them or shred them and add to new batter?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hmm are you sure your quantities are correct? that would be my only concern. Did all the salt sink to the bottom, if it didn't then that would imply that they were mixed enough but maybe a quantity was wrong. I've never seen anyone rebatch salt bars, I guess you could, but you'd need to be happy that the contents were OK 1st

[@janlee-buxton857]

Thank you so much for this video. I watch it every time I'm going to make a salt soap! Can I ask, how did you manage to get the cat embed to survive when cutting the soap loaf? Just confused about the timings, considering how quickly the loaf needs to be cut, surely the cat will have become a solid block since it will need to have been made a little way in advance?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Jan, aw so pleased you find it useful. It's quite precise timings with eth embed. I make the cats and then unmould very carefully after about 1.5hours, at that point I am ready with everything prepared to make the main soap. I pop the embed in the mould and quickly make the surrounding mould. I then cut the whole lot after about 2 - 2.5 hours, so far the cats have always been ok.

[@janlee-buxton857]

​@@IDreamInSoap Lisa, thank you for the advice. On the back of that, I wondered if putting the embed in the freezer would work and also make it easier to unmould? I know salt can delay freezing, though, so maybe not putting salt in the embed portion would be ok, and therefore adding the embed's portion of salt to the rest of the soap?

[@IDreamInSoap]

@@janlee-buxton857 I have no idea, I never put any soap in the fridge / freezer, but I can see your logic, maybe try it with a small bit 1st

[@NashipurSinha]

Beautiful soap. How long do you cure salt bars before they are ready to be used /sold?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi, I tend to cure all of my soaps for at least 6 weeks, but the people who developed this recipe said they are good to use/sell after about 3 weeks, so I guess that would be the shortest time, I still prefer a slightly longer time though.

[@NashipurSinha]

@@IDreamInSoap Thank you 😊. I had read somewhere that salt soaps are best after a long cure (6 months to a year) so wanted to confirm about it. I too prefer to cure my soaps for at least 6 - 8 weeks.

[@tanyacollins6517]

I have a question. With salt bars. Whats the benefits. I made some a few months ago and oh my gosh, its the best soap ive ever made. It stays hard and the soap has loads of bubbles and when put back in the soap dish hardens and dries super fast. But i just wanted to know whats the other benefits other than what ive mentioned above. The only negative thing ive found is that after a few months ( as mine dry in the cupboard) they seem to sweat. Is that normal. Im worried about the soap wetting once ive wrapped them. Any advice.💜💜💜

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Tanya, I never really like to discuss benefits as legally that's a no-no, also with soap being a wash off product any actual benefit from anything is unlikely to have an effect, therefore if people make claims about their soaps they are unlikely to be true. The salt bars are wonderful for all the reasons you say. I must admit I never have the moisture or sweating, I think it's due to a humid environment. I know some people use a dehumidifier if they live in a humid area.

[@helenabme1197]

Are salt bars exfoliating?🌷

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Helena, they can be if you don't use a very fine grain salt, but with the fine grain they are really very smooth

[@abrarameen88]

Where did you get 1625 from? I didn't understand how you got it

[@IDreamInSoap]

I started the calculations by saying take a soap mould that you normally use and start with the oils you normally put in that mould, mine was 1625, I then show you how to adjust the recipe for your mould.

Seems to me to be just another administrative exercise in ‘extortionate’ Hell for soap makers. More regulatory Control. Thankfully I don’t reside in the UK, nor sell my soaps…despite many requests. Yet, I do find it interesting that those self same Regulations do nothing to prevent the unnecessary use of neurotoxic Additives that are rife through the Soapmaking world…if the many You Tubers’ usage is any indication. And then there’s the Group 2B classified carcinogen Titatium Dioxide….

Great video! It's lovely to see more information about the assessment process in the UK/EU.

How exfoliating are these bars compared to ones with other exfoliant types?

Thanks Emily. I use fine salt so in fact they are super smooth and not exfoliating at all. If you used bigger grains then they would be, I was surprised how lovely they felt the 1st time I used them

I understand this uses clays. If you were using charcoal would you mix with water a few hours earlier in the same way?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Gary, you can do. I always have my activated charcoal dispersed in a light weight oil, the same as my TD. So I have a bottle of it ready to go. AC doesn't tend to suck up moisture like the clays do, but it's definitely worth dispersing it first (even if just before you add to your batter) as it can speckle in your soap and will require quite a bit of mixing if you add it in dry, which with salt bars and the speed the batter thickens may not give you enough time to get it mixed properly.

[@lindaballard]

Blessings from USA.

HI Linda, thank you so much. I let all my soaps cure for a minimum of 6 weeks before I sell them. 4 is actually good enough, but the longer, the better. Also you can keep on letting them cure and they will keep on improving (although most of that is done earlier on)

Hi I have just started making soap and was wondering if you knew of any good fragrance suppliers as I’m also from the UK……. Your soaps are absolutely gorgeous you make it look so easy. Beautiful work

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi, I typically say where I get my fragrances from in my videos. We do have some good suppliers in the UK, but you still need to buy small amounts 1st and test in your soap recipe as all fragrances behave differently, so you can't just presume that fragrances from one place will all work well. Also if you're looking to sell your soap in the future you need to makes sure your supplier xan provide all the necessary documents for your records otherwise your soaps will not pass assessment and you won't be allowed to sell them.Some places I use regularly are Candleshack, craftovator, Scents soaps and candles, Sensory Perfection. Supplies for candles, Gracefruit. Sell the Smells. I hope this helps

Great video as always, everything explained crystal clear. Your salt bars look amazing 😍

That's so kind of you to say Hilary , thank you so much 😊

Hello Lisa! Love your videos and have learned so much with you. Awesome content!! I`m ansking for your help because I made two batches of salt soap in cold process and made the big mistake of cutting them too much time after. The inevitable happened, and they all crumbled. So, is there any way that I can still use all of that soap? What do you suggest? Maybe rebatching it? And if so, how may I do that? Thank you in advance! Best regards, from Portugal!!

Lisa, thank you once again for sharing your brilliance with us and helping my bad math brain by helping with the numbers! xo

[@IDreamInSoap]

He, he, I hope the maths helped you out :-)

I always learn something Thank you

Hi @laurephaco1366 thank you so much for your very kind comment 😊

How long would this salt soap take to cure please?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Typically it will be about 4 week, I always cure all my soaps for a minimum of 6 weeks

I made this soap an hour ago. Mine stayed nice and fluid to do the ombre pour. Can't wait to see what it looks like. Thank you!!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh excellent, I hope it came out well.

[@kelwrg]

@@IDreamInSoap I realized I forgot to put the castor oil in 😭 will it still be ok as far as bubbles go? It came out of the molds fine and it looks great! Would this recipe minus the salt also be for swirls?

What are those red this holding down the silicone liner?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi they are little liner clips that I made

[@karjaable]

Thank you for the great explanation. I have a question related to the products: where do you buy the sodium hydroxite from? Thank you in advance

[@danakatzir4901]

is there a reason to cut them soon after and not wait to cure?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes. They will get too hard to cut if you leave them more than a couple of hours
