Shalebrook Handcrafted Soap - Yogurt Soap, Bare Necessity, by Valerie Mosher

Bare Necessity, A Yogurt Soap, Hot Process - Formula by Valerie Mosher
#1 Always make sure you put through a Soap Calculator before using! I Soaped this formula at 35% lye liquid and Super Fatted at 8%. (5% upfront and 3% after the cook) Used Sodium Lactate at 5% of oils. This was a 2lb batch.
Sweet Almond Oil - 11%
Babassu - 10%
Castor Oil - 15%
Kokum Butter - 5%
Lard - 25%
Murumuru Butter - 3%
Olive Oil (100% Pure) - 11%
Palm Oil - 10%
Tallow, Beef - 10%
This will give you numbers of: 38 Hardness, 10 Cleansing, 59 Conditioning, 24 Bubbly, 41 Creaminess, 61 Iodine, and INS of 139. The lye liquid amount for this 2lb batch, at 35% lye liquid, was 11.2 ounces of liquid. I used 5.2 ounces of water to mix my lye, 2 ounces of cooked/strained oatmeal liquid added to the oils before the lye, 2 ounces of coconut milk mixed with 2 ounces of yogurt and added half to the cook and half after the cook (but next time I will save all the yogurt to add after the cook)…I also added another heaping 2 tbsp yogurt (room temp) after the cook.
2 Tbsp sugar mixed with 1.5 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar, completely dissolved and added hot after the cook. 5% Sodium lactate added warm after the cook (1.6 ounces & not discounted from the total liquid amount), SL is used as a hardener in this, but a bonus is that SL is great for aging skin and is a lovely humectants. ! Tbsp honey/1tsp Lanolin/1tsp Vitamin E oil / AVJ mixed well/warmed up and added after the cook when the temp was around 175F. 3% Xtra SF was with Perilla Seed Oil.
Enjoy!

Hi Valerie! I haven't soaped in 2 years and you are a welcome sight!! I made your soaps twice 2 years ago and they were the best I ever made!! Your recipes are researched and very complex to me, lol! I learned so much from you. Your generous sharing of recipes as well as your educating us, one step at a time, means so much to me! and...you're so humble and honest! You are a true light and star in the youtube soaping community!! Thank you so much.

Happy new 2020, may blessings of 365 days of love, health & happiness. Love your vids, you inspire me. I make h/p yogurt soap regularly however I add it after the cook, it comes out great, I use it more for the face area, I observe less pimples smooth, soft & even tone skin in the hot/ humid climate I'm in. It's really great for the skin. Thanks for sharing💗

[@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907]

hello Robbierohn123, thank you so very much for those kind words and I appreciate you! So glad you are enjoying the yogurt in soaps and so glad to know how it has helped your facial skin, things like that are always good to know! I love adding it after the cook too! big hugs and thank you for stopping by!

[@ellenblack5376]

Beautiful!

[@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907]

thank you so kindly Ellen!

[@ritakehl7660]

Thanks for all of your great videos. I've used your recipes and loved the results. Have you ever thought about writing your own book on soap making? God Bless.

[@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907]

hello Rita Kehl and thank you ever so kindly for those lovely words of encouragement and compliment as well, how very thoughtful , I appreciate "you" and i'm so blessed to know that you like the videos and especially the formulas! I've never thought about writing a book, there are so many people writing books out there today, and for me personally I just wanted to help and share and encourage others to make "great for the skin" soap...the other issue is that i'm always learning, even after 6 years and God willing if im making soap after 10 years, i'll still be learning i'm sure...thank you again so very kindly, and big hugs and love in Christ !

[@hammashiacksoaps1550]

I watched a young lady she made a pretty big batch and her great grandmother I believe taught her to make soap with really only yougurt to loosen it up. And it worked but dk how pretty the soaps came out. Anyway thank you for sharing Valerie. My last batch I did a water discount with wine @ the end of the cook and actually got to.do a hanger swirl. Yaaaaa. Haha

[@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907]

Hey! that sounds wonderful, I saw a lady way back when make the soap with yogurt and I was loving that she did that and how good is was ! So glad you did the soap and were able to swirl! way to go!

[@ddsisson]

Love watching your videos as well!! ❤️❤️❤️ LOVE your apron too! Where did you get it?

[@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907]

Hey there Debbie and thank you ever so kindly, I appreciate it! My hubby purchased that apron for me about 5 years ago and he found it online somewhere and has no idea where, but maybe a search would show it up and if we do find out where in the meantime i'll be sure and let you know! big hugs

Hello Lori VA, thank you so kindly and big hugs dear sister in the Lord!

[@janel7533]

Like ur videos, but no hes not..only way, and ur not better than any other religion.

[@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907]

Hello Jane and thank you for stopping by -- Jesus is not a "religion", Jesus is a relationship for all who would come to Him -- and you are so right, I am not better then anyone or more worthy, but my Lord is and He loves you! John 14:6

[@evehsv5556]

Jane L Jane that was very rude to Valerie you need to apologise, at not time did Valerie say she was better with anything that was totally uncalled for, maybe you should reconsider watching Valerie’s channel if you don’t like her content.

[@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907]

@@evehsv5556 thank you Eve, big hugs and big hugs and much love in Christ to Jane as well.
