Stone Soap Rocks Cold Process Soap Making | Soap Challenge Club

[@hollysoapmaking]

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well! ❤️Thank you so much for watching! I forgot to mention in the video that I dissolved a little salt in the distilled water (before adding the sodium hydroxide). The salt helps the soap harden a bit faster, so I can unmold them sooner/easier. If you're interested in how I used the salt, I put the details in the description box under the video. The soap got a bit thicker than I wanted, and I really wish I'd used more light gray colored soap instead of dividing the colors evenly. I think both would have helped the soaps look more like real rocks. Maybe. LOL I know I'll make more of these because I loved doing the little in-the-pot swirls with each soap. :)

[@lakolako2143]

great videos can you share the measurement for 10 kilograms of soap how much naoh is added in grams/kilograms and how much coconut oil should be added in grams/kilograms and how much palm oil should be added grams/kilograms

Thank you for posting!!! I have learned so much from you!! You are easy to follow, without a lot of complicated math. Everything makes sense and I can expand on your ideas to suite my own tastes. Thank you and looking forward to more videos!!

[@sparkybish]

These look like they would be pleasing to wash your hands with. Neat to see the new patterns come through as the soap is worn down.

[@firdowskruger9896]

Thanks again, Holly for another great creation but most importantly for so unselfishly sharing all the information. I love the moulds on Amazon. They ship to South Africa but the shipping cost is usually 4 times the price of the item. So it ain't worth it for me. Such a pity though. Stay safe😘💐

[@hollysoapmaking]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that. I hate that about the shipping costs. These probably aren’t the easiest molds to find locally either. 😊💕

[@lauraleite9060]

Hello, Holly! Your work is amazing! I've heard a lot about individual molds making it harder to keep the heat needed in saponification. What do you think about it? Have you ever had any trouble like this? Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@hollysoapmaking]

Thank you! I find individual molds definitely don't hold heat like a loaf or slab mold and make it more difficult for the soap to go through gel phase (if at all). As a result, saponification will take a bit longer and it can be harder to unmold the soap until they sit for several days. Saponification generally takes 24 to 48 hours, but a non-gelled soap can still be soft and need to sit longer (depending on how much water is used). So, to make sure they gel (faster saponification and harder sooner), I will almost always use an oven process (preheat the oven to it's lowest temp, turn the oven OFF, then place the soap inside and leave over night - leaving the oven light on for about 4 hours). I usually cover the soap with a towel, too, just to hold the heat around the soap. With these rock soaps, I placed them on a steel baking pan to keep them level, covered them with a towel, and placed them in the warm (but turned off) oven.
