I made my first lotion bar last night which was 3oz Butters 3oz beeswax and 3 oz oils.....no recommendations just amounts. I am so excited to know I didn't mess up with my oils. I used 1oz olive, 1.5 grapeseed and .5 vitamin E. I was so worried about the oils. Shew!!!!

One more question....maybe.... so I’ve found a few recipes that are just Shea, coconut, beeswax, fragrance. There are no “soft oils”. What is your opinion on them? I’m trying to work with ingredients I have on hand, which is minimal at the moment. The hanks for all your soapy wisdom!

I’ve not made lotion bars yet, but have been asked too, so the research is on. I love that you share so many of your recipes. I do still have a few questions. What kind of extracts do you use? Also how much in general, it looked like she just squeezed a few pipette worth in, but it was off the scale. Also, is there a calc in existence like the soap calc to help find a good lotion bar balance? Or do you have recommendations on how to achieve that good balance with different ingredients? I’m still fairly new to the soaping world and the only other thing I’ve made are your bath melts....which....OMG heaven in the bathroom!! I absolutely Love love love them!!!!! Though mine still aren’t as pliable as yours upon putting in the mold they still firm up and seem to work just fine. Anyway.... point! I don’t know what I’m doing.....any and all advice welcome. Excuse my erratic brain probing, instead of sparkly shiny distractions its more like soapy sudsy distractions. May the suds be with you!! Ok, my dorkdom is coming out. Later.
@MrsSoapAndClay3 жыл бұрын
I’m down with the geekdom; welcome to the tribe. ❤️ There aren’t calcs out there to develop a good lotion bar, but a good rule of thumb to start is 60% hard oils and butters to 40% soft. Extracts are all mostly from brambleberry because they’re local for me, and we use them at 1-3% of the total batch weight. Have fun!

Do you help people create recipes or do you have a book? How do you make a soap ph balanced for the vagina? Something like Yoni soap.

@TheLoveweaver2 жыл бұрын
She means holding keeping it hot after it's melted for 2o minutes or some of the crystallized pieces will not fully melt and it will result in a grainy oil. It's not enough to melt the butter, you must hold in in the heat for 20 mins. I hope that helps?

All in ounces - but riddle me this: if you used these measurements but did grams instead of ounces, would the ratios be the same? I mean, you’d obviously get a lot less product, but. Same product? I dunno - I’ve never worked in grams or given it much thought until this exact moment. 😂

@@MrsSoapAndClay that depends. You really need to convert each measurement , ie 7.6 ounces doesn't equal 76 grams and would throw off the measurements wildly if not converted properly.

I made a batch of lotion bars and I thought I was doing well until they were cooled and are so soft you could use as almost a liquid lotion. My question is , couls I melt these down slowly and adjust the beeswax and maybe cocoa butter or kokum butter to harden them or is it better to just throw them out and start over when I am not fighting a bad migraine? Thank you so much for your knowledge and for sharing with us. Some days you just crack me up and that's a good thing.
