Thanks so much for this, Catherine! My Dad just asked if I could make him some. I can't wait for next week either. I love shampoo bars!

[@soaping101]

The sand I used was from my parents private beach that is continually tested for e coli contamination levels. You can view the results at barnstablecountyhealth (dot) org.

[@Yasmine1962]

I love your videos and I'm learning so much. Thank you for the time you're taking to share your knowledge! :)

What a great pumice soap Catherine ! Really looking forward to seeing the shampoo bars. Stay cool!

[@joesoap920]

Brilliant - my first free ingredient!, thank you for a great video.

[@popeye1283]

Can't wait to see them!

[@baysword]

Wow there is still so much to learn and try.

[@soaping101]

Great news Linda!

[@raybirdful]

Love this channel

[@popeye1283]

Loving Monty's shorts and sneakers, see you in the exercise class later. Rene x

[@MsVcraft]

Great Video...Beautiful soap :D

[@boysrus2]

You soap base is so light colored and looks perfect for adding colorants. Would you mind sharing which oils you use to attain such a light base? You don't have to give exact amounts. Thanks. I've really enjoyed watching your videos!

[@catherina2611]

I don't pay for crushed volcanic rock (pumice). My holiday house is a 2 minute walk from a surf beach so the sand there is particularly small-grained. I just wash it a lot before using it... excellent exfoliation. I also have an apricot tree and tried crushing the pips for the same purpose... but it killed the blender lol.

[@soaping101]

Fantastic, please let us know how it turns out.

[@popeye1283]

Glad it made you smile. So are we doing this MOUSEWASH next week? x

[@soaping101]

This I have to see!

[@Thebodystop]

Awesome!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

[@soaping101]

Thank you :) :)

[@Wisewax]

Please may we have a tutorial on hot process soap? Thank you again for the videos. They are the best!

[@wdbreezy]

Thanks, CB!! Makes sense. I was thinking more about swimmer's itch from snails (we get quite a bit of that around here). Yep, don't eat the soap! :-D Making peeps this weekend - are you going to be around if I get into trouble? xx MMM

[@soaping101]

Please see my reply to cherylynnessoap below. If your sand has potential contaminates, it can be pre-washed in bleach water then dried before using.

[@soaping101]

Thanks :)

[@popeye1283]

Thank you for this brilliant tutorial, I have some ground pumice so I will give this soap a go. I've brought my sneakers Teach, what time is the exercise class? Rene x

[@joesoap920]

Is the sand you use regular sand off the beach, or special sand? I make a gardener's bar with pumice, but I live right on the beach, so have a great source of supplies if it's ordinary sand!

[@soaping101]

I agree :) But some people have weakened immune systems + as soapers we always have err on the side of caution.

[@vjvicki]

I am very interested in your e-book. Concerning the pumice addition...how much pumice per lb, usually? I am making my first batch and not quite sure. Thank You for your comprehensive delivery.

[@soaping101]

Have fun with it :)

[@soaping101]

The dirt scent takes a bit of getting used too :)

[@wdbreezy]

Very cool !! So how do you clean or sterilize the sand..or does the lye do that for you? Everyone has access to sand of some kind!! xx S.

[@soaping101]

No offensive taken... it was a great point to make to the class. However, it is important to note that e coli levels vary by location + the danger of e coli comes primarily from ingestion. As the sand it mixed with soap, washing with it makes the bacteria associated with e coli nearly non existent. After all we are not eating the soap :)

[@soaping101]

Pumice is great. I think you will love the soap. Exercise class has been cancelled due to Monty stealing my sneakers :)

[@soaping101]

Yes, it is sand from the beach :)

[@soaping101]

I love free :)

[@soaping101]

Perfect timing! You will have to show us how they come out.

[@soaping101]

Really glad you think so. I always want to be thought of as brilliant... hehehe

[@RedneckAngel98]

I am trying to find out how to add stearic acid to CP soap or adding sodium lactate to CP soap can you tell me about it please.

[@Yasmine1962]
