Hi Araiane, I love this video! your soaps are a work of art..do you have a tutorial for CP soap with fresh blueberry?

[@tiffanymantovani9500]

You can get the hanger swirl tool from any hardware or home improvement stores for way less than brambleberry. It’s called a, “GEAR TIE”. I got a pack of three (different thickness) for about $5.00. I like brambleberry but their products are way more expensive than most other supply stores and the shipping cost are crazy expensive and longer to ship than most others. Just saying.

[@aprilnovember6777]

[@sundaycaradine3478]

Ariana how does the purée work in the soap? Does it ever go bad how long does it keep? Is this like a beauty bar or cleansing? I really enjoy watching your videos the designs you come up with are beautiful and I could listen to you talk all day long. One day I would love to buy something you made I live in the states

[@indraecosmetica]

Thank you so much for the video! Im wondering where did you get the triple cutter? Im really interesting!!

[@PrettyAliceNight]

This soap sounds great! I’ve made an avocado soap several years ago. The essential oil blend sounds nice too! I can’t use soaps or anything with fragrance oils because I’m allergic and my skin will break out.

[@amandathode4540]

PrettyAliceMoon I made an avocado and Himalayan salt soap. No colors or fragrance. But everyone says it smells like a fresh earthy smell.

[@PrettyAliceNight]

Amanda Thode that’s cool. I don’t remember what essential oil I used in mine. Probably lemongrass though because it’s one of my favorites.

[@amandathode4540]

I am horrible at fragrances! I never know what they smell like. I just know a few from bath and body works. And like 3 popular colognes/perfumes from the 90s. I get a little fragrance happy trying them all out.

[@ladyazaz26]

[@summerbreeze1955]

I found it interesting that you placed the soap in the fridge and that the oil didn't separate. I have always insulated my soaps, but who knows, I have learned something!

[@TammiP2182]

She put it in the fridge to keep it from overheating. 😊

[@Soul.7]

Something you do when using ingredients that tend to raise temperature whilst saponifying. Sugar, honey, milk, foods you don’t want scorching etc. Refrigerate.

[@marialuisaperez5475]

do you do a water discount for the coconut milk and the avacado?

[@tiffanygregson4750]

Where can I get ( Palm done Right) Palm oil? I want to get in the movement

[@marypalmer9385]

Hi, I have been making Avocado soap with coconut milk for over 4 years now. My experience has been that in order for the soap not to get dark from the avocado I freeze the batches for 24 hours. I live in florida and Avocado and coconut are very available. I love using the fruit, but I have only had great results by freezing it because when the temperature increases as it goes through the normal process the Avocado which is considered a fruit it turns dark. Have you experience the same by not freezing your soap?

[@dayaoliveras7050]

Hi Ariana I really like watching your videos, how do you do so that your soap does not overheat when you use fresh foods such as avocado and coconut milk ,what percentage of the total soap mixture do you use?? I await your reply, thanks!

[@Soul.7]

Refrigeration! Join her patreon, that’s how you get the recipe, percentages etc.

[@palomam.9302]

Question: if you had let the batter set a little, would you have been able to develop stronger definition of the various colors?

[@jeffreym68]

In my experience, the colors don't change, but they are less likely to blend together with thicker batter. So if that's what you mean by definition, yes, I have found that to be the case.

[@mrsyona3113]

[@maritza5625]

Where to buy your soap?

[@eldhosevarghese5054]

Hi this is a really nice and informative video. I really want to start a home based soap making business can you give me some advice on it....

[@Soul.7]

Start by making soap! And perfecting your craft Give yourself a year or more to create your own unique solid oil templates/and soap recipes. Testing them in friends & family. Depending on where you live in the world you may be expected to have your 8 soaps (16, 24 etc) assessed by a chemist. You pay them, they test & certify when your soaps pass their standards. Sell in local markets, farmers markets, fairs, festivals, events, in local shops that will host your products, online website, social media etc etc. You’ll need to start buying your soap materials in bulk. You got good soaping equipment? Some seasoned soapers say give yourself at least 3 years before going into business as a soapmaker, to start selling, build your brand, get noticed, and start making profit, as it takes time for people to find you, and to expand your experience on all aspects of soap marketing. Hope this helps. x

[@jdog321123]

The palm oil is still grown where Rainforests should be going. Sure, it’s better I guess, but we need that land to be rainforest.

[@LadyGecko]

Jessica Lagoo - It’s being grown in other places too.

[@carolineleiden]

Once a place is a plantation, it is not going to return to being a rainforest. That is gone. Better turn that plantation into a sustainable one and just not cut down any more rainforest. The yield of oil per square meter is highest from palmtrees, as opposed to any other oils. There's a lot of human beings on this planet and they all need vegetable oil. Not just for soap, but for eating too. Want to save nature? Reduce people. And lo and behold: the vaccines are doing just that. And this is just the allergic short term reactions. Just wait until the auto immune diseases start developing.

[@tomyyoungerself7449]

Do you think the colors would have been more vibrant if you had allowed the soap to gel?

[@ArianeArsenault]

To My Younger Self the soap did gel. The total water discount when you input the coconut milk and avocado was 10%. I only placed in the fridge 2-3 hours to prevent over heating. It definitely gelled still.

[@ladybug6450]

[@unnikrishnan31]

Yes...you can...

[@qwsnaturals2888]

Can I mix the avocado and coconut milk with a melt and pour soap

[@ArianeArsenault]

qws naturals I wouldn’t recommend this as this would mean adding a lot of fresh food in a soap that is already saponified. In Cold Processed soaps, the reaction with the lye preserves the fresh additives.

[@Silencio.Voluntad]

Ariana, hace you study chemistry? I love in Central América and I Will love to lean to do soaps but i am concern of I am supuse to study chemistry por if I can lean with pasión?

[@kellywhitley3516]

Try putting it on it's side to peel the silicone liner off. I've seen another soaper do it with similar molds. It seems to work for her and she does embeds on top!

[@ArianeArsenault]

Kelly Day yes I know, but this way works well for me as I don’t often do high tops and embeds

[@kellywhitley3516]

@@ArianeArsenault Love your work! & your kind spirit!🥰

[@ericlemelin3215]

Why you don't have gel phase?

[@heatherdefoor1575]

Gel phase only happens when your soap gets hot, she refrigerated these to prevent any over heating. A good way to force gel is to set your oven on its lowest setting while you make soap, then turn it off and place the soap inside with the door cracked open just a bit.

[@mansardmanor3869]

Do you need a stabilizer for the avocado, any spoiled mold or bad curds? New viewer, and hopefully you don't take offense to the question 😒
