I love your videos !!!!! I know your very busy, as you are a wife, mother, entrepreneur. However I do miss you soap videos. You are one of the few on KZbin that uses natural and organic ingredients your videos are very relaxing and informative.

I enjoy that about Ariane too. I want to learn how to do more natural soap bars.

Wonderful channel and resources! me and a few girls in my family got together and made soap for the first time lol now i can check out all your links below for some more canadian resources!

[@verleneencinas8631]

I love watching your video because you are very detailed about what you do and I’ve learned so much from you

[@NorseButterfly]

As a hairstylist, that's a perfect ph level for hair and scalp👏💜. As long as customers don't have fragrance or allergies to any other ingredient, they shouldn't have any issues caused due to ph. Makes me wish I were a blond again just a bit so I could try one😉

[@patwagner9308]

Bet these smell terrific ! Love that it's a way to have shampoo w/no bottle ! Fun to watch the process, as usual. Thank you, Ariane. Always interesting !! Thank you for sharing about ingredients...I've never heard of some....I enjoy learning about them.

[@solnatalia85]

I have a suggestion that I don't even know if it would work, but you could also make purple shampoo in a solid bar. :) I love your videos

[@ArianeArsenault]

Natalia Herrington I think you are referring to the dark purple/blue shampoo for blond or white/grey hair? Those are salon specialty shampoos for colour treated hair. I do make shampoos for colour treated hair, but not the dark purple yet 😊

Ariane I don't know if you were the first to realise to make shampoo bars with the bath bomb press, but it was genius.

[@ArianeArsenault]

EdensSecret1 Many people press their solid shampoos. About using the Bath Bomb Press and making a video out of it, I think I was first but don’t know for sure. Now that you have a bath bomb press, you can make solid shampoos too!

I have a weird question. Once you're done with those metal bottles do you send them back to the company for recycling, or do you recycle them yourself?

[@aipooalice]

TheFraggler that’s not a weird question 😉

[@roshneedukhande]

You can reuse them to keep your essential or fragrance oil blends... There are various ways they are useful in workshop

[@ArianeArsenault]

I buy bulk essential oils for my most popular essential oils and reuse some of the bottles. 😊 Some I recycle

hi from greece.its difficult to read all this and understand... where can we find the recipes from this lovely lady?

[@XiaVhani]

Hi Ariane... ( Vivian from New Jersey USA ). Question: "Can I add candle fragrance scents to melt & pour or CP soaps ?

[@bubizbubbles8771]

Hi Vivian, I know I'm not Ariane but, I'm pretty social and know your answer so, I hope you don't mind I chime in. Some fragrances for candles, melt and pour, and cold process are interchangeable but, some aren't. I always suggest to check the label or the website to make sure. If you don't you could run into a lot of problems. I am more familiar with the problems on the soap side as a soaper myself but, some examples for soap: ricing, acceleration, and separation.

[@ArianeArsenault]

XiaVhani No candle fragrances are not body safe. Make sure to use body safe cosmetic fragrances. Some body safe fragrances are ok for candlemaking

[@XiaVhani]

Hi @@bubizbubbles8771, thank you so much for replying, I appreciate it. The label didn't offer any info. Searching google proved useless. The only info that surfaced pertained to the use of soap scents in candle wax. Your response was helpful, thanks again.

Hello Ariane, I have a request pretty please. Could you do a video on shampoo cubes and/or conditioner cubes. These shampoo cubes are quite little and you activate them with water in the shower. And you only use as much as you need for each application

[@katerinalasakova4467]

I LOVE your chanell. Soapmakers here (Czech Republic) do not share any know-how :-(. May I ask you why you do not use SCS in solid shampoo bars lately? Thanks, Katerina

[@ArianeArsenault]

Katerina Lasakova I have formulas with SCS and others without it. Some customers prefer the SCI only version. I like using both as ling as the SCS is low in order to keep the PH below 7 ☀️

[@alitzelbueno7769]

Do you make lotion bars? I'd love to buy some! My skin is dry but liquid lotions sometimes feel too slimy

[@evangelineboyles377]

[@raadizon3442]

I don't like the look of the noodle SCI. Can i use the powder form instead of noodle type? What are the good reasons for using the noodle type instead of the powder form?

[@cwood8579]

Rona Abano you can, but you will have to melt the powder SCI with another surfactant as it is insoluble in water. C. Betaine works well to heat and melt the SCI in. If you do this however, the bars cannot be formed with a press, but pushed into a mold because they can be rather sticky. I have used granular SCI without melting it in a surfactant and pushed it into silicone molds with great results. This also all depends on the formula and percentages of the ingredients.

New directions aromatics says to transfer essential oils from the larger metal containers to a different container. Do you find keeping them stored in the original container affects them at all, like the website says it might do? I noticed yours are still in the original containers so I was wondering your experience as I would rather not have to transfer mine! Thank you !

[@ArianeArsenault]

Lauren M I use mine very fast so I don’t transfer them as NDA recommends. I do have a few essential oils that I use less often that I keep in amber bottles in a cabinet. The ones on my shelf are the ones that I use everyday or week. We can go through 1 kilo of lavender in a week 😊

[@ArianeArsenault]

Qonita Mumtahanah yes you can make shampoo bars without a press but this recipe/formula is designed to be pressed. There are other methods that allow you to mold shampoo bars. Just not this one 😊

[@____Ann____]

You will need to 'melt' your Sci. It is possible but they don't look al cute as the pressed ones.

[@Izybuzy]

I never had shampoo bar before, I had tried making it myself because of my curiosity but it doesn't work cause it's too wet, I will just buy from you one day either the shampoo bar or the recipe it self. I wonder if it's as hard as rock? And is it possible to make it without bathbomb press? cause I will just make the shampoo for my family events. 😃 sorry for my silly question.

[@potiepotz]

It's hard as a usual soap bar. There's a 3 part mold available at etsy for this.

[@ArianeArsenault]

I am working on many new formulas that will allow you to make solid shampoos without a compressor type press. Just be patient! I will share them through video and tutorial will be on Patreon.com

[@hedgerow.homestead]

There are many blond shampoos on the market that are blue or purple in colour to counteract brassiness (especially for those who are not naturally blond). I wonder if you could replicate something like that in a solid shampoo bar

[@ArianeArsenault]

Nourishing Parenting this shampoo will help with shine & sheen but is not the type that counteracts brassiness. I have had colour treated blond friend testing it out for me. It doesn’t strip the hair 😊

[@raadizon3442]

Good point there nourishing parenting. I wonder the same thing. Those purple and blue shampoos are a must for chemically bleached hair.
