Love this!!!

I use Sea Salt. I dissolve it in my lye water. 2 tbls in my 2 pound mold. It also depends on your soap recipe. If i have butters in it i use 1.

Thank you for this video.

[@blackhands301]

Of course. I’m happy you found it useful

[@ecpapa3]

This is helpful. I am really not wanting to use SL because it’s synthetic. But I do appreciate how your video shows that with some designs, maybe SL is just the way to go

[@blackhands301]

I let my batter get too thick. Another video will be released soon using the table salt and good designs. I’m still switching to salt.

[@OfficialLadyDarkSky]

you can use table salt however only advise is not to use the idodized unless you want iodine in your batches.

[@blackhands301]

Okay thank you

[@teecee3143]

sweetie I've been making soap for years in Australia using salt - no difference and definitely cheaper than sodium lactate

[@blackhands301]

Thanks. Does your salt dissolve in your lye solution?

[@teecee3143]

@@blackhands301 yep you have to keep stiring - it will dissolve (and if it doesn't all dissolve, it's not the end of the world 🤣

[@blackhands301]

@@teecee3143 thank you

[@ecpapa3]

@teecee3143, what ratio to pounds of oil do you use for the salt? And, can you swap regular table salt for fine pink Himalayan do you think? THANKS!

[@teecee3143]

@@ecpapa3 hello luv, I've never measured my salt, - for roughly a kilo, I use a heaped tablespoon of what we call here in Australia "cooking salt" (personally I don't think there's any difference between table and cooking salt- must be some marketing ploy here ). I've never tried Himalayan salt before. But I will tell you there is an Australian soaper who uses sea water to make her soap (she lives by the coast in the tropics so the water is pristine).

[@Southphxgal2023]

I’ve been using regular salt for 10 years now saving a lot of money I also use regular sugar

[@blackhands301]

That’s great. I haven’t been using anything lately but I like the salt.

[@blackteaandhoney]

This was a good comparison video. I’ve only used table salt in times where I wanted to unmold my soap the next day. I dissolve it in the water portion before adding lye. Never had any adverse effects when using it this way. I always wondered does it speed up cure time🤔

[@blackhands301]

I’m new to the table salt world lol but I like it more that the lactate. Thanks for the useful information

[@qualityshea]

I've never used sodium lactate. Only salt. I dissolve my salt separately then add to the oils.

[@blackhands301]

Good to know. I’m leaving the sodium lactate in 2023 and using table salt this year.

[@dianehedricks7860]

Thank you for this trial!!!!!! I have alwaysssss wondered the difference in behavior!!!! You rock! I wonder if maybe half the table salt would help it from getting thick? This was just awesome!

[@blackhands301]

That’s an interesting question. I will have to try this. Thanks for watching.

[@dianehedricks7860]

@@blackhands301 thank YOU for sharing!!!! Please let us know if you do try it? It will be much cheaper than Sodium Lactate!🥰

[@michellefrancis9266]

Hi dear lovely video but when you say pound does it mean oils or all the ingredients combine

[@blackhands301]

Pound of oils.

[@aishayusuf5894]

Please how can measure powders,salt or liquid to add to oils example if I use 100g of oils ??

[@blackhands301]

I don’t make batches that small but I think 2% of your oils is reasonable. With powders it depends on the type of powder or the hue of color you want. Liquids as in water can be calculated on a soap calculator. You can use milk to replace all or some of the water. Did that answer your question?
