Hello Anne! Am amazed at the green color you get from blending indigo & very orange annatto! I imagined the result would be a khaki olive - but instead you got the a nice bright green! Your videos are always fun to watch!
@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany3 жыл бұрын
Thank you Cathy. To be honest, the first time I made this soap the colour surprised me too! I think it is because I added a slightly higher ratio than usual of Indigo, which in turn made it come out this way!
@Kinotaurus3 жыл бұрын
I would describe the colour as "pea green".

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the natural GREEN made by mixing Annatto infused soap with INDIGO --- I had no idea! I love the shade of green! Instead of using powdered indigo with infused Annatto oil, I mixed infused Annatto oil with infused Indigo oil .. it came out great! I just want the green! I can't stand the orange Annatto oil by itself, I don't like orange soaps, but I am always lookign for natural greens. Thank you so much.

You did well, because you actually used all natural colourants to achieve your green whilst Anne used a ‘dye’ called Undigo. Albeit it looked more of a cobalt blue to me 😊

Beautiful soap! Here in America, it's a stereotype that we are all crazy about beer, football and burgers... I hate beer and football, and although I will eat burgers (they're ok), they are not my favorite. But I actually DO like tea and cucumbers. Granted, via DNA and family tree research, most of my immigrant ancestors were from England, lol.

@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany3 жыл бұрын
Hi Sally, Indigo dye and Indigo powder are different to each other. Indigo powder gives more of a blueish/grey colour in soap whereas Indigo dye gives a really bright, vibrant blue (and is much more expensive). Both are natural ingredients derived from the "Indigofera Tinctoria" plant :-)

Maybe that's to do with the way in which you brew coffee in the US. No disrespect, but it's like dishwater. Try an Italian espresso after a nice meal, with a bit of sugar to take the edge off the bitterness. If it's evening, treat yourself and add a splash of brandy, too.

Hi Michelle and thank you! I am trialing a few shampoo bars at the moment which seem to be coming along quite nicely. Unfortunately conditioner bars are another thing entirely!

We are still hunting around for a recipe we can trial and if we ever do come up with one we will probably post it on here for everyone to see :-)

@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany3 жыл бұрын
Hi May. We use the quick infusion method for our infused oils, which involves placing the infused oils into a slow cooker filled with water and turning on to high. We leave the oils in the slow cooker for around 6 hours and then turn it off and let them cool. This is what helps us to create these really vibrant oils really quickly! Yes, our main focus is on natural colourants as I love them! That said, we do have a couple of upcoming videos in which we are experimenting with mica just to add a bit of variation into our channel and soap range! Coffee is even worse than tea in my opinion! A long time ago I worked in a well know coffee shop and every now and again they would ask us to taste the new coffees so we knew what they were like if customers asked. I always used to get disapproving looks from the area managers when I refused to try them!

@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany3 жыл бұрын
Hello Estera. It could be a number of things (such as your recipe, the temperature that you soap at etc) but I would say the most likely cause would be your fragrance oil or essential oil choice. I would recommend making your soap without any scent at all to test and see if it pours ok or if it still thickens. If it does still thicken then it may mean that you are soaping at a temperature that is a little high or that you aren't using enough water in your recipe.

I live in the southern United States, I can't stand black eyed peas, collard greens or pork and beans which you call baked beans. (Here in the States baked beans are made with ketcup, vinegar, brown sugar and generally molasses. ) Why do you soap so warm in the UK? I soap at room temperature here. Typically between 76-85 degrees. I love cucumber sandwiches and tea!
@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany3 жыл бұрын
Hi Jill! Baked Beans are in my top 3 of most hated foods! I don't even like people cooking them around me as can't stand the smell of them either. I tend to soap at different temperatures depending on what I am creating. If it is a Goat's Milk soap I will soap at room temperature but I do go higher for other soaps. The reason for this is that because I use natural colourants I like the soap to go through gel phase and soaping at a higher temperature helps this to happen. I also find I get less soda ash if I soap at a warmer temperature. It does come down to personal preference though and I know of a few UK soapers who soap at lower temperatures than me :-)

A stereotype of Russians drinking loads of vodka and dance with bears on the streets of Moscow is false. According to the latest sociology, Russians drink beer more than anything else, which they produce many types and variety.also, the tendency among the younger generation is to be tea total..Speaking of tea, Russians drink more tea and longer in history than British. Cucumbers are vastly consumed not in sandwiches but in salads. So there!!!
