In the final part we are discussing the pH table, how it's being misinterpreted, and why I'm tired of people arguing over silly stuff.

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

You know what’s interesting?? When you google if alkaline based products are good for the hair the information you receive is from wella and Redken pop up, they are both well established brands in the Haircare industry.. there’s few information that’s coming from an independent scientific sources.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Excellent and astute observation. What do you make of it?

[@miztropraineraine9923]

@@MrsSoapAndClay it makes me think they deliberately put these information out there to confuse the public so that we’re relying on their products. And as you pointed out before the wars and Industrial Revolution people used to make their own stuff and by doing that they used things that works for them. And now people are so reliant on products for everything being made for them. And in doing so they’ve lost some basic understanding and knowledge because there’s so many conflicting information out there not just in soap making but everything.

Science does not sell, marketing does😢😂

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Thanks for the discourse, Sudsers! See you in a few days for the new Pride soaps! 🏳️‍🌈

[@kattaylor9294]

Thanks for the deep dive! Bottom line, everyone needs to find their own product that works for them. Appreciate you! ❤

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Appreciate you!

[@norawalsh5471]

Every body is different. People just need to calm down. Even agree to disagree, that would be cool! I love all of the info you have given and greatly appreciate it. Do what works for you and your body. Pretty simple. 😊

[@annettebobko4795]

Thank you for being sciency so I don't have to even try. My eyes cross and my mind goes to Mars. And I'm not fighting with anyone! I don't care enough about what someone else decides to do. Why some people put their noses in someone elses business is beyond me. Love and let live! Appreciate you!

[@Twistedtree7]

Thank you for not being a jerk about syndet lol. I agree one is likely not better than the other. Each has its place. I get slack for using synthetics in mine but guess what…they sell, fast, every time! And not one persons hair or scalp had been damaged by them. So there goes that whole theory

[@melanieschafer1297]

I bred fish for a long time so this was an expertise of mine. Considering the fact that fish live the most healthy lives in ph of 7.5-8.5, I am willing to bet that humans would live more healthy lives at a higher ph. In the aquarium world, lower ph means there is more urine, excrements, uneaten or rotting food in a fish tank and they get sick more often with ich, fish lice, fungus, and dropsy. At the 8.0 ph, fish tend to really thrive, although some can tolerate a lower ph better than other types. It is my belief, that humans would thrive at a higher ph as well, get less cancer, illness, skin issues. I am definitely NOT a Dr, but I don’t see Drs do anything but prescribe pills, not healthy living. I think if Drs would encourage healthy living, people would be far healthier. I know better health came to me with higher ph diet. That being said, soap may be a bit different, but I think if you surround your whole being with a 8 or so ph, we would also live healthier lives. I am learning the whole soap world, so don’t bash me, because I am not certain about soap, but Mrs Soap & Clay makes sense to me with her logic. Thank you for this video!

[@gwenbrown8513]

Oh holy moly how did i miss this one?!? Thank you so much for helping me feel better about my cold process shampoo! My mom always talked about washing her hair for her whole young life with grandma's lye soap and her hair is fine 😁. You rock! So glad you sent me looking for this episode of soap and clay!!!!

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

Another great upload, straight to the point no BS, I am fairly new to Soap making and don't fit into your "typical" soap maker mould, it's refreshing to see someone speak based on fact and not some old wives tale, or she said what he said what she said, so it must be true, I was reading so much info that appeared to contradict itself when I started, I ignored most of it and actually researched the subject, which is something a lot of people don't bother to do, if they did, they might be surprised what they learn 👍👍🦘🦘

[@jobo8819]

Love those soaps, very cool colours and design. Thanks for the links and deep dives. I'm a going to wash my hair now lol and agree lets not fight over hair washing.

[@RusticByNature]

I am getting ready to start making soap, I have been using ivory bar sopa to wash my hair and shave my face. I plan to replace ivory with something I make. Thank for sharing.

[@cabinfeversoap1]

Totally agree with you- thank you as always for great content ❤

[@themossgarden9698]

I washed my hair with borax and that has a ph of 9.2, and my hair felt silky and smooth and awesome, and I’m going to make a shampoo bar and put it in and see what happens. Also fun fact, you can take borax as a supplement

[@christineseguin2935]

When I was little my grandmother would clean gook from newborn kittens with borax and water.

[@TracyAnnemakes]

my Dr told me to lick the tip of my finger, dip it into borax and lick it off because I need the boron 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

After my Tiktok reacts, I’m not touching borax ever again. 😂

[@themossgarden9698]

Borax is an ingredient in contact lens solution

[@hbrunet72]

Loved this deep dive ... until watching this I was silently saying that lye soap was best ... today, I told my husband to go out and buy some shampoo from Walmart, because he needs to wash his hair every day due to the work he does ... I can go a week to a week and a half to cleanse my hair, so soap is just fine for me ... I learned a lot from this, so thank you!

[@MtnGrandma]

Great video thank you! Now on to your shampoo videos! I’d love to make my own bar of shampoo….so excited to try that! 😊👍❤️

[@shellybrentlinger7403]

Thank you. I always learn so much from you. You are amazing 😊

[@hammerjammer1]

Oooh love the pastels. Simply beautiful. Loved also the curved bottoms. How??? Love you and your channel as well. You are such a motivator to keep going. Thank you❤

[@NaturalMackie]

This was really good and helpful. Thank you!

[@kezz6146]

❤ your deep dives

[@betsycarrion4716]

Your amazing. Thank you for all the info ❤

[@RobinKnutson-xc2jt]

You are such a breath of fresh air. The FB soap sites are filled with know it all soap snobs who think Pyrex glass is the devil. It’s her so weird. Anyway…..you’re the best

[@Tardisman08]

thanks

[@MsAubrey]

I just love you. 😁❤ What works for one may not for another, but all in all... it cleans. Why does someone care what I use on my hair? 😂

[@debnorton387]

I have been trying to find a shampoo bar recipe for grey hair, or any information on the subject. I am trying to formulate a recipe for myself, as well as other friends and family members who have asked me to make a shampoo bar for our grey hair. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@discokaren]

9.5... OR HIGHER!! love it! 😂😂😂

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

I felt that needed a special level of emphasis. 😂

[@discokaren]

@@MrsSoapAndClay I agree!!

[@nancykelly9712]

Because they "don't give a shit!" 😂 Yep, tell it like it is!! Hallelujah! I hope the syndet shampoo cult followers open their minds on the subject. I'm currently using a syndet bar for some time now but I KNOW my cp shampoo is way better on my hair and scalp! Then if I say I'm doing that then they go banging on about how cp shampoo will enventually cause hair breakage if I keep using it! 😩 It's so tiring to listen to!! Thank you for this video!!

[@MsAubrey]

Can confirm battery acid and NaOH both feel bad on the skin, but don't leave permanent damage. 😆

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Ms A doing the on the ground research for us. 😂

[@MsAubrey]

@@MrsSoapAndClay just your friendly neighborhood mechanic and soap-maker. 😂

[@1karenelizabeth]

What's the pH of soap... takes a drink... ha ha ha! I adore you. 😂

[@TracyAnnemakes]

every woman in my town has been forced to learn that washing hair (and pretty much everything else) every day is unnecessary....probs the only upside to municipal malfeasance, drought and water rationing 🤭😉

[@schellsc]

So do all the things. Gotcha lol

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Ha! Just make it allllll!!!! 😂
