How to Make Un-Petroleum Jelly | Soaping101

[@DrBessetteNaturals]

What a gorgeous natural color!!! As a medical doctor and soap maker I truly appreciate your channel. It’s SO important to use natural skincare products!

[@judyevans6074]

I have learned an incredible amount in my 3 years of soaping from your organized, clearly presented, and quite informative videos!! Just came across this one recently and finally made the un-petroleum jelly this a.m. I am deeply grateful for your generosity with information and for the time you spend teaching. Thank you! This came out fantastic and at a fraction of the cost of the wonderful little tubes I've been buying for decades! I made it plain--no infusion--to use with combinations of essential oils for various needs. So much potential! And so easy! Wish I'd thought of it. 😊 I look forward to making infusions for it as well!!

[@soaping101]

Yay, so happy it worked so well for you Judy! This is one of my personal favorites. It it always in my purse :)

[@casandragawlik6185]

Holy cow! Made some of this using dried hibiscus flowers I had on hand infused in safflower oil. Best makeup remover I HAVE EVER USED. I now have a whole list of products I plan with this as the "base" for. Thank you so much

[@patremagilbert8787]

Nice good idea

[@kimsyoutubechannel874]

Casandra - Did you find this to be as "solid"/paste like gel, as the final picture shows, or did you find it to be a very thin gel?

[@steweythecatdog]

Thank you Catherine. I miss your videos. They are all so awesome. God Bless 😊

[@soapsforlove4168]

So many people watch your videos (and they are all wonderful) and it is so important to get people to stop using products that are harmful to their bodies, thank you for putting out this recipe for people to know they can make great products at home and not use horrible chemicals. Good job! Adding a few extra herbs like plantain, etc. omitting the castor oil, they can make their own homemade healing salve like the Neosporin, again with out petroleum. If anyone wants the recipe, I would be happy to put it out there for them.

[@ubiewan]

Thanks so much for this!! I've missed your video's, and I hope more are on the way. Would love to hear you explaining things, you have a wonderful voice!!!

Wow you never cease to amaze me. I love your videos and I'm glad to see you haven't stopped posting. Just doing research I suppose which makes sense!

[@audryscraftingchannel3597]

I love your videos. I'm well versed, but I thoroughly enjoy the sound of your voice and how patiently you teach. Please don't stop💕

[@MsBelleMs]

Thank you very much for this recipe! I have a year old who constantly gets diaper rashes, will absolutely make this! Hope to see your videos more often here ;)

[@Me-ev4ix]

This is awesome!!! Thank you!

[@kellsgreenidge8885]

I'm so happy to have found this video! Unpetroleum Jelly is expensive in my country. I'll have to order the dandelions dried to make this recipe (if I can substitute with another dried floral I'd appreciate the feedback) Thanks for sharing!

[@soaping101]

Any dried herb will be just fine.

[@kellsgreenidge8885]

Great video. Thanks for sharing the process.

[@zarak5055]

Great video. Is there any substitution for caster oil?!

[@lianne2830]

can this be done with other flowers such as lavender?

[@soaping101]

Yes, it can

[@Aniquabeauty]

Omg I can’t wait to make this

[@mariejones2669]

THE COLOR IS NICE & IT LOOKS CREAMY WOULD LIKE TO USE BUT TO MANY STEPS TO MAKE🎉 🥂

[@TessieDobey]

I love this. I make it in 32 ounce containers.

[@mapleflagg7744]

Love this idea. Can't wait to see you at SoapCon in September. Looking forward to that! 😊

Wow not only useful but beautiful

[@ssc4153]

Hi Katherine. Wonderful tutorial. Can this be done wit other flower blossoms, like lilacs, peonies and such???? Gosh I would love to try it.....what do you think?

[@soaping101]

Yes, as long as the flowers are dried.

[@noonaltijany6558]

Love ur videos, very informative and remarkable

[@ldbridgeland3480]

Love your vid What is the pot you heat it in called please ?

[@jackfruth3738]

Thanks for the video. I did have a general soap making question. Im just now starting to get into cp soap making and would really like to develope my own blend using different concentrations of different oils. I know through you about using the internet to help, but my question is: "Do colorants and/or scents change the soap (other than speeding/slowing trace or changing the color)?" Basically if I find my "perfect" recipe, am I going to have to change it all the time because of my scents and color additives? Thank you so much I am glad I am subscribed!

[@karentucker2234]

I love this

[@kimsyoutubechannel874]

I love the feel of this on my skin! Not too greasy and seems to absorb into my skin. However, I'm not sure what the temperature of the jelly was for the final picture, as I've found this will not make a jelly that will stand up on a spoon when it is at room temperature of 72-74 degrees Fahrenheit. Perhaps I'm missing something?

[@mohamadabdou4159]

thanks so much

[@rannydewah8549]

This is beautiful n I hv just subscribed

Hi it is great to watch this, plz tell me why it is called “Un” petroleum jelly??

What do you recommend for a lip gloss? I want to make some 8ve made soft lip balm but cannot get wax ratio correctly

[@laxminaiidu6745]

Thank you for sharing

[@soaping101]

Thanks for watching!

[@Janays]

Hello, thanks for the recipe the consistency looks good. How do I convert the recipe from percentage to tablespoons or ounces ?

[@Diana21Dee]

Jeanette Sargent I don't think you can, generally her recipies are based on weight because they are very specific and tbs. or tb. can be inaccurate due user error. So you can say you will make (lets say 1/2 lb or ~250g) and then measure out your ingredients in percentages of your goal weight.

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Jeanette Sargent, get onto wholesale supplies plus. They have a free batch calculator that will help you convert it to the size you want to make. Using percent like this allows you to make a mini batch or a huge batch. If you are hoping to fill a 4 oz jar you can put that in and it will give you the oz to use

[@Diana21Dee]

Jamie- LOVE U MORE SOAPS doesn't oz on a soap calculator generally mean weight regardless though?

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Diana21Dee, you can go into the batch calculator and figure out the size you are wanting to make in ounces. Then your going to have to go back through and figure it out in the measurements you are wanting. For example, 1 fluid ounce equals 2 Tablespoons. 1 fluid ounce also is equal to 30 ml. 3 teaspoons is equal to 1 Tablespoon, and 1 teaspoon is 5 ml. So depending on which measurement you are wanting to make your batch in, you will have to go through and re-figure it. I hope that helps. If you need more help you can contact me through my KZbin channel or email [e-mail]. I'm not in any way trying to take anything away from the soaping 101 channel, I was just trying to help explain how you can figure out the measurements. I love the soaping 101 channel, she may even have a video giving info on changing these recipes if you can't do it in weight.

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Because this isn't soap, it can be changed and the measurements won't need to be as accurate, however if you were making cold process soap (using lye) I wouldn't recommend changing it into teaspoons or a measurement not being weighed out. Then it's super important to be exact.

[@DreamhopMusic]

well that's interesting!

[@XLTX]

Compliments for the nice video, sorry to have to wait for the next spring for dandelion. Thanks for WRITTING the explanation. I am Italian and I find it difficult to understand the spoken explanation. Dear greetings Lory

[@pauljblukwago4763]

Hello, Your teaching is very inspiring and admirable. My question is about the flowers you use, are they specific flowers or any flowers?

Hello aunty! Are you not producing any new videos lately? Please give me some info about your blender. I have tried two blenders, but none of them turned oil into soap. Please help

[@SARILANKA]

IT S LOOK SO GOOD' WHAT MAKES IT TO LOOK LIKE JELLY?

[@djmakedzana9917]

fantastic thanks a lot

[@ItsMe-ic7on]

Arnold Andrews what is soya? If it has anything to do with soy I would not because 93% of all the soy in the United States is GMO and you don't want to put that on your skin

[@lalenap8407]

What kind of kettle/pot was that?

[@TheMssassyangel]

LaLena E that's one of those chocolate melter for chocolate fondu.

[@lalenap8407]

Gabby Price Thanks 🙂

[@soaping101]

The link to the melter is in the description below the video.

[@beckygyorko6160]

What would be a good alternative flower? No dandelions in the yard right now

[@mischa2643]

Becky Gyorko any dried flower! You can use lavender, hibiscus, marigold-whatever you please. Even willowbark if you're seeking anti-inflammatory properties!

[@Geoffrey454]

What could you use instead of beeswax to harden the jelly? I'm guessing you used beeswax because it's a hard wax... Would soya wax be hard enough? Anyone know?

[@pattiduken]

Try castor wax.

[@patremagilbert8787]

Nice lovely

[@shaikismailbasha3958]

Can I use crysanthemum flowers instead of dandilane.because we have not dandilane here.

[@Amydali86]

Could you use another flower/plant instead- like lavender or pansies?

[@هديرالمصريه]

Should not us bet the final mixture with an electric better?

[@shabbyhijabi4344]

No need to use an electric mixer. Stir well and pour.

[@jantecson7630]

hi, after put in the small container it should put in the referigator? or just room temperature ?

[@soaping101]

Room temperature

[@susananderson1071]

Would like to know the benefits and how to use the product please.

[@soaping101]

Dandelions contain magnesium and zinc

[@shaikismailbasha3958]

What is the self life of this cream.

[@muhammadasghar-hg9zs]

how to white phenol please explain

[@teresaolofson8187]

Catherine can i use orange or grapefruit rind in place of dandlion?

[@soaping101]

You sure can.

[@sandragambino2278]

Is that 62 % castor oil?

[@shaikismailbasha3958]

Is it usefull for hairs also.some one told me .

[@angem8320]

❤ this..

[@zeeshanbahadur7201]

can we use any other flower?

[@soaping101]

As long as it is dried.

[@EdensSecret1]

How interesting Cat

[@corduroy99]

Do the dandelions are essential? I think it could be done with the oils and wax only. Also amma try to do it with candelilla wax see if it works (vegan version)

[@jeal4311]

corduroy99 i heard dandelions have some kind of benefits on skin

[@corduroy99]

Yes, yes for sure. But I was wondering if I can do it without them. There's this recipe for under eye puffiness that calls for petroleum jelly that I have been meaning to try, but been reticent because I only use natural ingredients in my products. :-)

[@jellybeansbud3610]

corduroy99 I was also wondering if the dandelions were for more benefit than just the color.

[@corduroy99]

yeah me too!

[@Me-ev4ix]

I'm really interested in how yours comes out using the candelilla wax!!! Can you post a response if you try it?

[@recymercado1160]

What flower is that

[@mischa2643]

They're dandelions (dent de lion, or "lion's teeth"). They're a daisy cousin!

[@mischa2643]

They're dandelions (dent de lion, or "lion's teeth"). They're a daisy cousin!

[@mischa2643]

Most folks think of them as a weed, but the whole plant, flower, green and root, is edible and has medicinal properties as well!

[@haricotvert3904]

But you used Olive oïl ! You a cheetah !

[@elihauser1840]

why dandelions?

[@littlemissmakeup075]

not 100% but can be use any flower/s that u chose

[@soaping101]

Dandelions contain magnesium and zinc

[@Latebird24]

If I don't have an infuser, can I put a small pan above a larger pan? Could you also help me understand 33%. Is that 1/3 cup? Thank you. I love this idea!

[@eufimercedes8638]

Kerry it would be 33% of your total amount so yes if you are only gonna make a cup 33% would be 1/3cup. But you would have to make sure all the amounts add up to your total desired amount of product if that makes sense.

[@OzarkSoaper]

Use the soap calculator and pick your batch size , enter your ingredients in % then calculate it will give you the correct amounts you need.

[@Latebird24]

Thank you!

[@soaping101]

You can use a double boiler on your stovetop.

[@bythenature795]

Mane video nyee

[@michellelynn2172]

this is great but would be so much easier if you just told us how much. like 1/3 cup ect. I was able to find a recipe that has measurements and will be making this! adding some rose petals to it too.

[@leee.8937]

Soapers work in percentages bcz we change the size of batches often. Also, we use the metric system for accuracy. If you're planning to really work on your craft you should consider doing so to prevent miscalculating

[@michellelynn2172]

@@leee.8937 thank you and will do

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

an easy salve ratio to remember from Mountain Rose Herbs is 8 ounces oils (infused or not) to 1 oz (or approximately 2Tbsp. beeswax, weigh before grating or use pastilles. This makes it easy to scoop without digging your nails in and easy to rub in. This makes enough for a half pint canning jar plus a small lip balm or cream jar for your purse. It's also creamier if you stir while cooling your mixture, but it isn't necessary. In the video it looks like she used less beeswax, but with the amount of castor oil used it would naturally be thicker to begin with. I personally like more dandelion oil because my skin loves it :-) HTH

[@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa]

This is not petroleum

[@pattiduken]

That's why it's (Un) petroleum, because it's an alternative to real petroleum. :)

Recipe is excellent but using plastics and you use plastic spoon and cups it's not. Why on Earth you wear gloves ?! Then oil. Good quality oil doesn't come in clear plastic bottles, never. I will try your recipe but use safe, organic stuff. Please people , this jelly should be for your skin. Everything what we pot on our skin goes into out blood. Thanks for the video.
