I had purchased some of your Solid Dish Soap and I absolutely love it! It cleans so well. I leave the tin sitting on my sink and scrape the scourer throught it, so easy :)

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 so pleased you like it.

[@zhajoura1987]

I am here to thank you for all the orientation you offer. Today I sold my first bath salts and milks and I used your recipe (without natrasorb, I still can't find it in ly country, but I'll keep lokking for this startch)

[@SoyandShea]

I'm so pleased to hear that 🧡

[@gemd2541]

Great video Keeley. Haven't tried the recipe yet, but looks go and love the bubbles you get. Keep up the great work 😍😍💖

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡

[@kezru1581]

Love it! Another awesome video thanks Keeley

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡

[@vernahrris5601]

this is an awesome video and makes so much sense

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡

[@CowlesRyan]

Had the Patreon recipe forever and *finally* made this for my home. Even the clean up was a snap because it was instantly bubbly and perfect. It’s so good!!! Question: When it’s cooled, will it be hard like a bar of soap, or will it be a bit soft? Harden more over time? Thank you!!! 😊

[@SoyandShea]

It will have a soft texture. If it's too hard, it's hard to get a good lather. If you do want it harder, you can increase the stearic acid by 1-3% and decrease the powder surfactant

[@letstalkaboutlife493]

WoW, sounds like a great recipe. ive been making a homemade bar soap for doing the dishes and bar laundry soap too.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡

[@jesssheteron902]

Wow. Thank you so much everytime you share with us i have to thank you you have helped build my confidence in my retail aspect. I dont do a lot of bath products im pretty much soap and candles, I have picked up ston carving I know thats a bit different! But fun! I make my own essential oils and hydrosol for my soaps, still organizing my converted horse barn into work shop! Thank you for all your tips tricks and how toos.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for supporting me 🧡 I love making hydrosols. My pots not big enough for essential oil production but maybe one day 😆

[@daydreambeliever6603]

Solid dish soap is such a great product.

[@SoyandShea]

I'm so glad I came across it. I find it less wasteful than liquid which is easy to overuse

[@makeit2649]

Thank you for sharing this! One question: other sites recommend against storing this product in aluminum tins as they will react with the washing soda, turning the aluminum dark. They also recommend not using the paste on any aluminum pans for the same reason. Have you had any issues with that?

[@SoyandShea]

I've not had any of those issues. You have to make sure you have good quality tins and without seams. Cheap tins will rust from water. I refill my tin in our home kitchen and it's still fine after a couple of years of refilling.

[@makeit2649]

@@SoyandShea That's great. I have a lot of tins and would love to use them for this, so thanks very much for your quick reply.

[@MacLeod15921]

Also, can you use this on clothes. It would be nice for camping since it's completely natural

[@SoyandShea]

I have used it as a stain remover by rubbing it onto the stained spot. I don't see why it can't be used but best to do small test patches on different materials

[@nataliestewart6706]

i wish i could get the recipe but its locked in a vault. mabe one day you can sell those recipes that is in your vault on your website so that we can purchase if we mist them.

[@SoyandShea]

I am working on getting the recipes available for sale on the Pimp My Soap page. When on Patreon, they come out as a recipe only and then supporting posts through the month but when they go for sale, I need to put all the information into the document which means I am having to rewrite them which is taking time.

[@nataliestewart6706]

@@SoyandShea OK I understand because I bought some formulas that you use from DIY Bath and body and each of them has plenty info on the formulas and that takes time to do.

[@hilaryquinn8673]

This looks great. What size tins did you use here?

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you. You need to puck a size that best suits your customers and budget. I sell as a 140g dish soap

[@hilaryquinn8673]

@@SoyandShea True. I’m thinking the 8 ounce tin might be just right. It would hold less than 8 ounces, probably. Thank you.

[@SoyandShea]

@@hilaryquinn8673 sorry, I don't work in ounces but when ever I'm looking for new packaging I always just buy one to try before committing to a bigger number

[@tinaadams4136]

Have you had feedback re the use of the tins, given you use in plastic? I find that they rust over time and the plastic is the better option

[@SoyandShea]

Although inhave plastic in the studio I use a tin one on the house and it hasn't rusted on me yet. You do have to be careful about the quality of the tins you purchase. Sadly they're not all made to the same standards.

[@lisagarrett1330]

Can you glop these into molds? Will this mixture get hard enough to keep a shape?

[@SoyandShea]

I have tried moulding it have never been happy with results. It hardens where exposed to air so it doesn't fully harden in the mould.

[@DarkusZarvix]

So ironic that I was planning to try something like this tomorrow for the first time too! Instead of using Sodium Coco Sulfate, could you use SCI? And if so, how would you tweak the recipe? I know you don't want to give the recipe away obviously, but would it be an even 1 to 1 exchange you think?

[@DarkusZarvix]

PS - I did just join your Patreon as I've been watching you for a while and really liked how your recipe seemed to work.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for joining. You'll see on the post with the recipe my thoughts on using alternative surfactants 😉

[@DarkusZarvix]

@@SoyandShea Got'cha. Haven't gotten around to reading too much on there yet. Will do though!

[@SoyandShea]

@@DarkusZarvix make sure to read the post too as it talks about it there

[@MacLeod15921]

Do you ship to the USA?

[@SoyandShea]

Yes I do. 🧡 international shipping I expensive though 😥

[@shanthinandakumar]

Hi..Love from.india...Where can I get the recipe??thankyou

[@SoyandShea]

I explain how to get it at start of video and in description box
