Happy Halloween from the Soap & Clay family!

[@Kat-fi9ys]

I was not prepared to start crying in the first few minutes of this video! sisterly love!!! your daughters sound amazing and have an incredible mom! Thank you for sharing tender moments of your families' lives. Thank you for educating us! Thank you for being YOU!!!!!

[@royalsbeautyshopstore]

Omg thank you for this. I made a evoo and coconut oil soap Sept 22nd and it's like a clay texture 48hrs later. I'll just have to wait longer I guess. 😩

[@LivingCoast2Coast]

Congratulations to your daughter protecting her sewing skills. Fabric is my weakness. I safe all scraps however I do make crumb quilts of all sizes with the scraps.

[@katelillo1932]

Crumb quilts! What an adorable and whimsical sounding name for a blankie 🥰

[@kelseyyates8812]

I worked at JoAnn fabrics... My fabric hoard it pretty epic

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

I would have not done well working at Joann. Never would have come home with a paycheck. 😂

[@kelseyyates8812]

@@MrsSoapAndClay my main weakness was the remnants... I could plan a project with any one them. I still have 3 large totes full after 20+ years.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Time for all of us to make a quilt together?

I know one thing 💯 olive oil soap works good for i am a heavy line mechanic do a ton of engine work and my hands get dirty i make olive oil soap with either crushed walnut shells or used coffee grounds in it and it gets the grime off and cleans my hands better than the shop soap or even dish soap my hands were always dirty looking until i just got the idea to make it one day i think it makes a good garage sink soap but about it i do agree it's too slimy and don't like it for any thing else

[@cheryl42002]

LOL...pull your stick out and inspect it.....and good times will be had by all...made me crack up

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Dirty. 😂

The kidlets are creative like their mama!

As far as I know, castille soap is made of at least three different type of ollive oils, including pomace oil.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Interesting; I’ve never heard that and didn’t find that specified in research. It would make sense that all purity levels of olive could be used in Castile however, as this would be a much more cost effective way of making it and all types of olive oil impart the exact same benefits in soap, so they’re interchangeable.

[@Traditional_Soaping]

It is very difficult to make 100% olive soap using the cold process method. Still, I think you're great for making this soap and talking about it. When I made 100% olive soap using the CP method, the soap was too soft and did not foam well. So I am making 100% olive soap by salting out. Salting out can remove some of the excess glycerin from the olive soap, resulting in a very hard and matte result! But I can't make perfect olive soap with the cp method.😭🥰

[@pasrol]

In Spain is been more a recycling soap. We use lots of olive oil and sometimes you end up with a big bottle of oil which you have used, not good for eating, not bad for spoiling. It's a priblem to deal with it, you shouldn't throw it off through the sink because it's poluting, you couls go to an special trash can, but they are not easily available. There are companies that pick it up, but again it's not that easy. I end up doing some recycling soap with the olive oil. I made some research and someone advised adding at the end a 15-20mls of glycerine. I use 1l oil, 1l water, 135 grams NaOH. After mixing oil and lye, I watm it up in an induction plaque to 400w, very low heat but speeds up the emulsion, and once I am in medium trace I add the 15mls glycerine. It is a bit floffy the firsts 6 days, I unmold after one week or so. The leather is not the best one, but much better than the traditional castilian soap. It dosesn't let that oily, limy skin, it's clean and moisturizing. Althoug If I want to do a soap from scratch I wouldn't do this one, but is a good option to worth your slightly uses oils and have one soap to use every so often

[@CabbagePatchSoap]

I keep reducing my fabric hoard only to replace the empty spot with more fabric lol. I keep the scraps because I definitely can use it for something later :) The first time I made 100% olive oil soap it took so long to get to trace I thought I did something wrong lol. I used to use olive oil pomace in the past and never noticed any issues, but I also kind of don't care about acceleration and don't notice it unless it gets out of hand. If you want to get those bars out of the mold without waiting so long, stick it in the freezer overnight. That might help them come out easier :)

[@shalonmayberry9435]

Great video! I love your sense of humour 🤣❤️

[@gods-anointedcook462]

What kind of lye u use and we're u bye

[@danielleecko4154]

Some SCI, is it possible to be added in this soap? For bubbles?

[@Abutado]

Huh 😳 not sure I'd like a 100% olive oil soap either, the lather just doesn't look pleasant (obviously not an insult to your abilities, especially with how pointedly you are about not liking 100% oil soap). I love balanced soaps too, and I love my additives. I use pomace and evoo (whatever is cheaper at the moment in which I'm shopping) and I don't notice a difference at all in my soaps, not with trace, performance, anything. Maybe if working at higher temps there's a difference??? I don't know, I don't have time to make soap right when it's all warm still - I Masterbatch while kids are occupied, then I do the mom things, then when they're distracted again (which is sometimes not until the next day) I make the soaps, so it's all room temp by then.

[@Abutado]

I hate noticing typos after my comments get a ❤️ and because I'm neurotic I must correct it and it takes my ❤️ away lol 😂

[@kattaylor9294]

I want to buy a not bedazzled plushie for my small dog. How can I do that? I know this video is old, and maybe S&C kidlet has moved on from plushies. Just putting this out there...

[@r.thomassen6285]

I have read in a book from Anne Watson that it is best to make 100% olive oil soaps using dual lye (to increase bubbles), hot processed (I don't remember why, but I think it has to do with reducing or eliminating slime) and cut with a crinkle cutter (again to increase bubbles even more). I have not tried this method, so I don't know. But it makes sense to me.

[@lduddy01ify]

Does that slimey feeling go away after time in a balanced bar? I'm thinking about pulling back on the EVOO but everyone seems to use it as a staple. Guess I'm gunna play a bit more on the calculator.

[@paigegray5776]

Every soap I have made and bought that's mostly olive oil has that slimey feel. It's put me off.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

In a balanced recipe, you shouldn’t feel the slime. I haven’t found a 100% olive oil soap that loses the slimy feel, regardless of cure time.

[@waynegross2113]

I don't use olive oil in my soaps at all! I prefer sunflower oil! It makes a gorgeous bar of soap and has lots of beautiful vitamins in it for your skin. Jill

[@MJ-cc4uf]

I've seen a recipe that adds baking soda and sea salt to the lye water with to help combat the slimy feeling. The recipe also calls for a 1.7:1 water/lye mix and 0 superfat.

[@danalin7627]

So so so much fabric 😅 use all of the olives🥰 so so so long of a cure time. I actually felt the slime.... I use tea with the 100% pomace and a ghost swirl to get through the pour and cure (my grandmother loves this soap so I have had a batch constantly on my curing racks for decades). Bothersome

[@kremendousisadore9839]

I love your video as I am new to soap making and started with MP before using lye solution. I want to learn the CP and you explain it where I can understand. The soap calculator was overwhelming. Do you have onsite classes?

[@waynegross2113]

I'm sorta like you. I dislike Olive Oil soap! It is slimey and yucky feeling! However, I do like a good Bastille Soap. I make one for babies, specifically. I believe in a balanced bar. My base recipe just happens to have 6 oils in it. I understand that after 5 oils it all becomes kind of convoluted. However, I think the 6th oil I use really makes a difference. I also refuse to give up castor oil in my soap, so 6 oils it is, lol! I rarely stray from this recipe, only for my Bastille soap, my Aleppo soap, and a 4 oil soap that I do as a request from a client. She is allergic to Coconut oil of all things! Crazy I know, but true. So it is sunflower, palm, castor and cocoa butter. She is an awesome client so, I think taking the time to do it for her is worth the effort. She buys the whole 5# batch and my entire facial skin line. So yeah, keep the customers happy!!! Hope you and the Soap & Clay kidlets had an awesome Halloween. I think it is very sweet that they are great sisters, and do things for each other and together. I think to many kids these days aren't taught to be caring and kind to each other. These two have a great advantage over kids their own age when they are displaying affection, caring, and sharing! Yeah for them!!! Jill

[@sam-spooniesoaps-8382]

It took me an embarrassingly long time to catch the innuendo. Which is sad because my 5 year old brain lives in the gutter 🤣 So I have had some weirdness using pomace. Usually it’s just in the way it effects the final color and it has varied from bottle to bottle which I wasn’t too surprised to see. But when I’ve used pomace in my usual recipe in place of regular olive oil I hit trace a good 25% faster and it reacts to some of my fragrance oils in ways they haven’t in the past. How much of that is because of temperature differences, variances in fragrance batch manufacturing or some other variable like fake OO, I don’t have any way of telling for certain. I can see why people say not to use pomace outside of castile soaps though if they have a similar experience as mine. I personally don’t use it outside of castile soaps because I don’t want it to morph the color of any micas I’m using.

[@101kurtj]

Blessed Samhain!!! 100% OO soap is not my thing either. The snotty slimy lather gives me the feeling of doing dishes after stuff has had a chance to form a film. Lol I cannot. Just cannotttttt do it.
