Homestead Soapmaking TikToks Inspired This Video (Making My GLITTERIEST Soap?)

[@eryana9437]

As a chemist, I appreciate the good safety practice you insist on. And please, for the love of all that is good, use goggles/ eye protection when working with hydroxides. Having taught undergrad lab courses at the university, we have had hydroxide solution splash and even melt a plastic pitcher once due to the strong exothermic reaction when e.g. sodium hydroxide is disolved in water. If that stuff gets into your eyes, it may take your eyesight if not treated properly and swiftly. I once has to basicly drag a collegue to an eye wash and it is not fun when you are wrinsing and wrinsing and praying that you got there in time.

[@suzykennedy3559]

As someone who sat at an eyewash station for half an hour please wear safety goggles!! Ps I was wearing protective gear, I was knocked over in chem lab, glasses came off a little and I got a few drops on my face. Was 30 min excessive- maybe but prof said better safe than sorry

[@As.Meow.Deus2080]

Fellow chemist here, so much this!! Even with PPE accidents can happen, and I'm a ~great example~ Storytime: I was in full PPE - lab coat, gloves, safety goggles, fume-hood, etc... Pouring a solvent into a graduated cylinder. I went to get eye level to the meniscus to read it when I nearly knocked the grad cylinder over. I stabilized it a little too abruptly, which caused some of the solvent to splash out. SOMEHOW, by some random chance, the splashed solvent went OVER the top of my safety goggles and right into my eye. I wasn't even that close to it! My eye is totally fine by the way, it was just a drop and eyewash stations are very good at their jobs. Learned two things that day: 1) Eyewashes are REALLY freaking cold and 2) HR does not like when an incident report doesn't have a good 'this is how we can prevent this in the future' action item. Legitimately just sheer random chance. (For those curious: The solvent was 1:1:1 acetone:pet-ether:DCM. Could have been much worse, luckily it was only a drop)

[@saraa3418]

TBH, watching Katie's videos when I was wondering about taking up soap making as a hobby convinced me that I did not have the mental or physical space to take that on right now. I would not be able to keep children or cats away from the kitchen and the kids behave unsafely even when my usual cooking and projects are taking place. I don't have confidence in my ability to secure the soap dishes from the food dishes. So when I want to make soap, I do melt and pour. It's not worth the risk to me.

[@jacquelynsmith2351]

I majored in chem, and my bf knows that if I tell him to stay upstairs, he better stay upstairs (the cat has arthritis, so she doesn't come downstairs). If he comes down anyway and sees me with safety glasses and a mask on, he knows I still have my dyes out, so the kitchen is off limits. I usually have some metal going in my ears, so I don't notice him shouting from the stairs when it'll be safe 😂

[@lemonmintcat4269]

I can also back this up, ppe is super important, as well as proper storage of materials and a clean/open environment. I don't work in the lab anymore but seen way too many accidents and near misses. Especially chemical burns on wrists from not having gloves and sleeves match up. I even had a serious allergic reaction to 14 M ammonium hydroxide, touched the exterior of a bottle that had drips. I always appreciate when safety is talked about in hobby/craft videos even if its not so entertaining.

As nurse who has worked in an specialist eye emergency room thanks for highlighting the need for eye protection. Caustic burns to the eyes are really nasty and even a small burn can cause long term problems.

[@Rose-jz6sx]

Even just reading the phrase "burns to the eye" makes me feel queasy! The worst injury of my life was 2nd degree burns (scalds but you know) on my thigh and crotch after an old hot water bottle burst. It was... awful. But thankfully there was no lasting damage. But a burn to the eye!?! That's my nightmare.

[@Wonkavator83]

I love that you are a Holo Taco fan! You and Cristine are both so concerned with quality and we, the customers, really appreciate it!

[@NeedlessExposition]

I love the soap but the commercial is definitely the highlight. You and Caleb should definitely do more skits if you’re able to. Both of you looked like you were having fun and it was incredibly endearing and entertaining to watch!

[@janetd443]

Yes

[@emilyeliasen1446]

I love how protective you are about safety with chemicals! My great grandmother lost an eye from lye and my family has always been super cautious because of it!

[@carolynkid216]

It's funny you mention safety today. I watched a soaping vid earlier today, and their small child who was face-high to the counter, was right there where raw soap was being whipped up. I cringed and said out loud to no one....get that child out of there! Thanks for all you share. I have learned much from you. God bless.

[@spicy.scribz]

I'd personally love to see you make a video on tallow soap, I'd love to see how different the process is!

[@p5a87bpsj]

Seconded!

[@Abutado]

Tallow soap really isn't much different. I render the fat down from local ranchers and use that tallow in almost all of my soaps (except vegan soaps). It reacts similar to Shea Butter in my soap as one of the fats. I still need to make a 100% tallow soap but again, the process isn't much different. Added: but I agree, watching Katie make a tallow soap and give info on the process would be very entertaining as all of her videos tend to be.

[@hyldrklein451]

I think the only difference (or rather the extra step) is purifying the tallow if you are rendering your own fat. IIRC, this is done by melting down your tallow in a large pot with mostly water, like 70% water 30% tallow and letting it simmer for a bit. The impurities/leftover meat will separate from the tallow and mix with the water. Cool it in the fridge to harden the tallow and scoop out the solidified fat. Repeat as needed then proceed with the usual process of making cold-process soap.

[@Abutado]

@@hyldrklein451 yes, the purification process is a bit time consuming and can honestly make your house/workshop smell like tallow for the whole process - it usually takes me the initial cooking down plus 2 cycles of purifying, 3 total cooks(I use a crockpot). This makes it odorless and pure white. I'll also add salt to help all the impurities sink to the bottom. I scrape the part with crumbly bits and use that for cooking eggs, the clean is saved for soap. I do store it in the fridge because it's much easier to handle when firm for weighing it all out. There's a few great tutorials on this process online, I haven't really found a good video on the entire process, so Katie providing one for the inexperienced would be excellent 👍

[@hyldrklein451]

@@Abutado Agreed. I'd love to see her take on the process, considering thats not the norm for her. A professional's take on a different process, if you will.

[@Emmibean77]

Katie thank you so much for always speaking up! You know it is the right thing, and I admire your adherence to your personal compass. You set such a good example to the community and all of the information you so freely share benefit us all! I know you hope we see your good intentions, and we surely do.

Glitter !!! Maybe an orange sparkle with like a sunset vibe

[@daphnereal3129]

Almost every time I watch UV resin pours I cringe because /they're never wearing UV-blocking glasses/ so I feel your pain. I just want to reach through the screen and protect their eyes. I appreciate you always making sure we're safe.

[@Rebecca-hm6pw]

i just like watching artists be positive and supportive of each other and be creative and make cool stuff! royalty soaps is a great channel for that

[@Bellessentials]

I’m almost 16 and have and have been making cold process soap since I was 9 (with my mom) and safety was literally the first thing we went over. It shocks me what I see others do online 🫣 Thank you for speaking out🫶🏼 Love you and love this fun soap!😍

[@TealCheetah]

Thank you whoever taped up the sides of the mold

[@Seoulsearch616]

This is one show where I loved the "commercial" just as much as the show! 😍😁🥰

[@kalieris]

I’m delighted that I clocked your polish as Holo Taco! It was a perfect choice both for your glittery shadow and for the soap. Honestly, there’s something super comforting to me about watching soap making, wood turning and other crafts. I enjoy seeing the same process repeated, and being able to eventually guess what comes next. I also love watching the art and design that goes into it.

[@katherineacts7974]

As someone who grew up on a farm and had a mother who would make goats milk soap whenever she could I really appreciate your love for the homestead art of soap making your videos remind me of my mom so much despite the different styles I know she’d love to see all of the creations you make 😊

[@Alan-zq1og]

i actually loved the color of the green before it set... id love to see more soaps with grey toned greens and more natural colors in general.

[@amandam2553]

I think a rose gold/brown/bronze mix of glitter would be a really good fall mix! I definitely think this makes perfect Easter soap! Also Love the ad! 😁

[@saracooper6187]

We watch because you are such a kind, lively & lovely person, Katie. It’s like spending time with a friend & in such uncertain times, watching the slow, predictable process gives us a sense of normalcy. Your videos are joyful & positive. A medication against the negative & the worries of the times. Thank you, Katie 😊😊😊

[@bjdefilippo447]

Katie, thanks so much for talking about safety and PPE. I used to teach soapmaking classes back in the day (before KZbin), and was lucky enough to have studied ChemE as an undergrad, so I understood more about the potential issues than most at the time, and I was shocked at the fact that safety equipment and adequate ventilation weren't always the default at places that had hired me. The fact that you demonstrate the use of that equipment and safe practices is wonderful, but explaining in words may call people's attention to things they might not have noticed while swooning at the beauty of your designs. On a completely different topic, I made a fun soap that some folks might like to try. It was coconut based. I used coconut oil and coconut milk, but I also burned the husks and let water leach through the ashes as an alternative to lye water. I probably won't do it again, and I ended up adding salt to harden the soap, but it was a great experiment!

[@annmareeofoz]

In Australia we have an ice cream stick called a "rainbow paddle pop" and it's very similar to these colours, I love it!

[@funkway]

omg that ad I love it 🤣 I think any sort of rose gold/pink gold glitters would be gorgeous, maybe paired with a pale blue or mint green or yellow gold soap

[@florencetheunicorn]

Mauve Majesty and Dragon's Delight are gorgeous! I think it would be neat to see a soap centered around one of those. Also, thank you for making this video! PPE is so important and recommended for a reason! I for one, didn't know that soap could burn until I started watching you.

[@altariia]

I completely agree with all the homesteaders... its really frustrating to see and I've tried commenting in an understanding but concerned way bit unfortunately have been met with defensiveness. I just don't want them to be blind or to get hurt, it's really important.

[@macieparmenter4544]

My favourite colour is grey and I know that in glitter form that's usually silver but I'd love to see a glitter that was a darker, gunmetal colour but still sparkly of course!

[@SD-bf6hk]

Since you did your safety video I always look for your sleeves when you start mixing lye. It’s so subconscious now but I always notice your sleeve and how awesome they are. And protective. Can’t forget protective.

Goggles with side protection is a must. My oldest worked in the physical plant at college and was wearing her safety glasses while cleaning something and the cleaning chemicals splashed behind the safety glasses and got in her eye. Luckily they had an eye wash station close by and she used it and was then rushed to the local hospital for further treatment and a narcotic pain reliever that she definitely needed for at least a week. She has fully recovered but it could have been a lot worse. Needless to say they updated their safety protocols to include goggles with full side protection.
