[@Jazzhelena]

I find it really helpful to tap it down in between each layer I find the air bubbles tap out better that way.

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Good tip . We are always learning great tips. I find that it all depends on how air rated it is too

[@jadeitetellurian]

You should try using meringue powder to help the whipped soap keep its shape and you don't need very much. I think I used a 2 teaspoons for half lb of bath whip, kaolin clay, E.O./F.O., colorants( I lightly color mine for a more earthy pastel look.) And yeah (:: I hope the meringue powder peaks your attention enough to research and experiment ^__^ Love your content btw! ✨

[@jadeitetellurian]

Peaks your interest*** 😆

Thank you. I have researched in the past but i did not want to add it in but who knows i may in the future

[@levispinks2458]

This is a fantastic and very informative video, thank you!!!! I love that I’ve found someone that’s in Australia too! How are you supposed to calculate how much of the percentage of fragrance is needed in a recipe? For example if the fragrance said 15%, how do you calculate that?

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

The beast example is work on a 100% ratio and that means the whip is say 80% base, then 5% fragrance then 15% oils and they add up to 100. In Australia you are not really allowed to use more than 5% fragrance in body soap products but check the fragrance recommended usage rates

[@kerrytaylor4637]

That was very helpful again Rhonda, I was wondering about making my own base but I just read some of the comments below and am taking your advise. I will go with a premade base I think. Thank you again, they look so light and definitely like meringue mixture.

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Thank you. I’m not interested in making my base. I have a recipe but fir the work it’s not cost effective for me with timing

[@antheafewquandie7979]

You would not believe it. I’ve finally managed to fix it. So I will pop them on Insta soon

New subscriber here! Really enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing your expertise! Question: I recently ordered (but have not received yet) Stephenson's Foaming Bath Butter. Is it the same thing as Foaming Bath Soap? I sure hope so because I would love to try your project with it.

Thank you. You should have a tracking number. All Orders have gone out. We hats your name in the invoice

[@MusicGirl114]

Hello I love your channel! I have one quick question: Can you use Preservative Eco/Geogard ECT as a preservative in the whipped soap? Thank you.

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

You would need to check as all different preservatives have different PH levels . I generally use the ones I’m used to

[@MusicGirl114]

@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you. Are you able to tell me what preservative you use? If not, that is completely okay. Thank you!

[@paigegray5776]

Hi Ronda, Just wondering if you think the pre-made base is better than the Etsy recipe you can buy?

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

I do own that recipe to but honestly for a cost point it’s easier to just buy the base. Not much difference I think and similar ingredients .

[@Lovelyhandz]

Hello Ronda, I know the pre-made base has a preservative in it, but would you ever add an additional one to your mixture?

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

You can if you want. I don’t but if you do sugar scrub you may want to as you would be adding 500 grams of sugar. I don’t as my clients don’t want it. You are adding a very small amount of oil and no water so oil does not need presservitives hence why there’s lots of oil based recipes

[@Lovelyhandz]

@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Thank you so much for your quick response, I honestly don’t want to have to add an additional preservatives, I’m trying to stay close to being as “natural “ as I can possibly be lol...again I appreciate your professional advice and love that you’re super transparent! Keep up the great work! 🙏❤️

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

@@Lovelyhandz honestly you don’t need it and like I said I don’t use it. I get a lot of comments now and I answer them all so I’m always in the phone. I’ve had jars that have been in the shelf a few months and no issue.

[@CubNan]

Do you find the soap base to have a strong smell? I find I have to use a lot of essential oil to combat it. Any suggestions. (For personal use.)

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

No I’ve not noticed a smell much at all but it may be the brand. I think stephensons is a stronger scent . Try a different blend maybe.

[@kathywilson8005]

Where might we find those cute plastic containers in the US?

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Hi Kathy . If you email the supplier I’m sure they will give you a link or assistance as to where to get them from. I actually got these from a plastic supplier that sells food containers so even a large plastic and paper food container company . In Australia a lot of our containers come from USA suppliers to start with

[@elleskye8564]

How do you work out the measurement from recommended percentage?

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

so if the percentage you want to use is say 8% of the oil then the formulation is the amount of product (egsoap whip base) you are using then time by the % you want (this should be the suppliers recommendation for body products) then divide by 100 and thats the anwer.

[@summabarling7886]

Do you have the ingredient amounts if you were to do 5kg whip soaps? Thank you

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Hi there just times it all by 5 as this recipe is a 1kg and that’s all your ingredients . 5 kg whip base 5 table spoons avocado oil 10 tablespoons jojoba oil 1-5% fragrance but check supplier recommendations as per the fragrance you choose

[@chloeireland7609]

Can you make this using body butter base

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

You can make it but that would mean you use it for body butter instead. I use amber jars for my body butter so they are not clear

[@chloeireland7609]

@@NelsonInteriorSoapery oh okay thank you. This will be my first time and didn't know the difference haha

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

@@chloeireland7609 hi Chloe. Sorry I did not realise. There’s a big difference. This soap whip is basically soap that you wash off and body butter is a moisturiser that you massage into the skin and leave in. I will in time be bringing a moisturiser that has what’s called a water phase to but that’s quiet advanced to understand

[@tsh5127]

how do you keep it from not squeezing out of the top of bag? I seem to get this issue when I've tried making whipped soap, I don't do it anymore because it's just a mess and waste of product. note: I clearly don't bake so don't know that secret lol

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

It’s ok. You are adding to much at once. You can wrap it in cling wrap first and that stops the mess but it’s still messy

[@deborahkeevers5600]

Can you just whip the soap and do all except add the sugar.

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

I don’t think I added sugar. If I added it at the top it’s just decoration but yes you can simply whip and add oil of your choice. Without any oils it will go very think and hard once it sets

[@deborahkeevers5600]

@@NelsonInteriorSoapery i shouldnt have commented before reading your description, u had the sugar bag there but i kept wondering did i miss you add it but of course u didnt, i have got my delivery of the base yesterday. Where are u located. Very few australians on youtube.

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

@@deborahkeevers5600 it’s ok. I’m located in his land Melbourne Victoria .

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Also if there’s sugar, sometimes I make a sugar scrub so you would add the sugar to the whipped soap if your makibg that and it’s 50% of the whip so 2kg whip and 1 kg sugar
