[@HedgeWitchCabinet]

oh my god finally someone who explains this well enough for me to get! I tried it and it worked! All these years I never understood this process of adding salt and now I can have thick soap always

[@moonlitsky9321]

This video is exactly what I was looking for since last year! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@NatalieWarren13]

Thank you for this!!!! I am going to start making my own soaps and hate how they are so thin!

[@RedStingBlogs]

Such a quick easy and super helpful video! Thanks!

[@lowe-quay-shush]

Amazing. Simple. I fast forwarded to what I came to see but worth it.

[@daynawhitehead7611]

Thank you!!! I’ve been trying to figure this out!

[@RavenVargas27]

Thanks I always wondered and finally found someone who did this

YES!!!! Thanks so much for this clear reassuring demonstration.

Great idea thanks...question,does the salt have a bad effect on your skin?

Thanks so much for sharing this brilliant info. So simple.

Excellent demonstration. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Meleeman011]

i think i want to try pure salt now

[@mystical_enchantress26]

Thank you for posting this informative video. I made my first batch of liquid soap and it came out too thin for my taste and I remembered adding salt could thinking soap but I was too scare to add it without some type of validation. You have provided that and then some.... THANK YOU!

[@trenten33]

yes please make more soap videos . love your videos

[@BarbAFB55]

Brilliant! Thank you for the best nugget of soap knowledge ever!

[@lizn9324]

Thank you for this helpful video because I want to use Castille soap but it is so runny! Does it matter what type of salt to use? Another video said to use Kosher Salt. Also, would you mind providing specific measurement for the salt water recipe?

[@Mrs_Guac_and_Glock]

This is so useful, thank you! I have a question though, will this last for a while or will the soap thin out when it sits?

[@hephzibahkabod6418]

do you add a preservative?

[@CutieRingoJoy]

OMG! Nice , I want to use a soap I’ve not use for a long time as toilet freshener, and has those hang over toilet freshener you can put soap inside but last longer if it’s thicker soap

[@MsFoxxiLadii]

OMG!!! thank you so much for this!!!

[@judithaviles1478]

Can’t wait to try it I bought store soap and it’s too watery and my husband hates it can’t wait to fix it

[@notyourginger]

I understand that you probably misspoke when you said 2:1 of salt to water so instead of 2 parts salt to 1 part water, I weighed out 2 parts boiling water to one part salt (I used fine sea salt) and it just seems to be way too much salt for the water to hold. Despite using freshly boiled water from the kettle and stirring vigorously, there are so many grains of salt left in the water. After some experimenting I know what can happen if there are grains of salt in your salt solution and it mixes in with your Castile soap so I tried to add bits of water until the salt full dissolved. Then I spooned out some of the water into my soap and mixed. And of course it’s not working, I guess my salt mixture is too watery now, but I had to add more water for the salt to dissolve. My soap is not thickening at all, it’s just making it whiter. I am using Dr Bronners citrus liquid Castile soap (I’m adding the salt water to just that, nothing else is in the soap). What on earth am I doing wrong? Why won’t my salt dissolve in a 2:1 ratio like yours did? I’ve already wasted so much expensive Castile soap tonight experimenting 😭

[@maraivana6782]

What are the measurements of water and salt to thicken up Castile soap for a face wash?

[@zoranasp9922]

great advice BUT... how to dissolve 2 part salt in 1 part water? its just not happening...

[@jimmylovesbikes]

Thank you! Also, a comment below answered the mystery of my last batch of watery thin soap: too much essential oil. And finally, I believe salt dissolves faster in cold water than hot water.

Any tips for when your homemade liquid soap has a slimy texture?

[@monicam9454]

Thanks a lot! So it is two parts water to one part salt, right? Is it distilled water? Or it doesn’t matter. Blessings❤

[@isabelmsivadjian1330]

When you say 2 to 1 ratio is it 2 salt 1 water or 2 water 1 salt?

Thank you much! Trying this right now. Is that 2 part salt to 1 part water right? Thanks! :)

[@metalpractor5150]

How important is it to dissolve the salt in water before adding? The shampoo I made already has a lot of water as part of the ingredient.

I'm making some liquid soap for the first using Pears soap and this looks really helpful. Thanks!

[@nancypuvel5799]

Thanks for this! Question: you said a 2-to-1 ratio of salt to water, but is that by weight or by volume?

[@ThreeLittleGoats]

I’ve always done by volume.

Thank-you for asking this!!

[@vasanthinarasupalli3933]

Thank u so much.it works

[@lindagordon981]

Hi: I'm interested in thickening up some very thin store bought liquid soap. Iheard the ratio of 2 to 1 ratio but what exactly does that mean? I would appreciate clear measurement directions. How much salt and how much water? I have a 32oz container of liquid soap that I'd like to thicken up and would like to do it all at once instead of small cups at a time. Example: 1 cup of walter to how much salt??? 1 gallon of water to how much salt???

[@awaisdar8228]

Wonderful

[@warpig03]

Will this work to thicken homemade laundry detergent as well?

[@samanthafulton824]

How much would you suggest for a 2.5 gallon container you've already made?

[@Mona2003A]

Hi I have a question about Liquid soap again, please. I watched your and other videos online on how to make liquid Castile soap thickens by adding salt solution. When I do this to a certain extent, like 12 tbsp per liter, I get a thick liquid like sauce, but it doesn’t thicken further. It doesn’t become a paste like the video. Why does this happen? Another question, do I have to leave the Castile soap for 2 - 3 weeks to cure before I use it? Would it behave better if I do? Or shall I use it from the second day? Thanks a lot.

[@kg8063]

will this work for a DIY hand soap? I used castille soap plus water, a few drops of essential oil. But my family is complaining that it feels 'too watery' comapred to store bought.

[@peepla7]

Can this be done with bar soap that has been flaked and reconstituted...too loose?

[@christinamomoh2700]

I used caustic soda in my liquid soap and it's so watery 😭😭😭. Please what do I do?

[@karinemery]

thank you for this demonstration, does this method only work on KOH liquid soaps...or should it also work on NaOH liquid soaps?

[@JG-ix5xr]

Karin Emery koh for liquid soap

[@agoogler3466]

Koh makes liquid soap, naoh makes solid soap. Adding salt (NaCl) thickens liquid soap because the sodium starts competing with the potassium to form soap.

[@saharsaddiqui7170]

Thanks for the demonstration finally got the solution.. Great job.👍Love you dear ❤️

[@awaiskhan9329]

Can i apply the same method to dish washing liquid? Its think and i wast to make it thick.

Can you use any kind of salt or does it half to be table salt or can it be pink Himalayan salt

Is that regular table salt?

[@aylaaci]

Is there a certain type of salt we need to use or avoid? ls sea salt would be ok?

[@ThreeLittleGoats]

I have used both regular table salt and sea salt and they have both worked. As long as it will dissolve in warm water, you should be fine.

How do i make liquid soap at home plus stain removal

[@Werewolf0216]

I bought some fantastic smelling liquid hand soap on Etsy ...the scents are for guys, so very cool because it's hard to find soaps with masculine scents. However, though the description said it was a thick gel, it arrived very watery. I added salt, but it seemed to only make it thinner and now it doesn't lather as good. I bought 8 bottles, all different scents, 8 oz each. If I added Cocamidopropyl Betaine would that help? Thanks.

It does help but only temporary I've been using it for my homemade body wash and it gets back liquidity after awhile

Whatever amount you use, just make sure it’s 2:1 ratio of water to salt. However I found I needed a bit more water to dissolve it.
