I don't know, but very disappointed!

[@kimglenn5647]

Awesome!Thanks!

[@gardengrlz]

Awesomesauce! THANK YOU for showing how you clean your equipment. So, do you dump that soap water down your drain? If so, do you worry about unsaponified soap solidifying and causing clogs? Or do us use some sort of grease trap in your plumbing...like restaurants?

[@TheSoapGal]

Good question, I pour lye down my drains monthly and I have been doing that for 5 plus years and not issues.

[@nvdirtfreakful]

Tea tree gives me a migraine :( so I do make AC soaps but without tea tree. I usually opt for a citrusy fragrance

[@deborahtaylor9929]

Where have you gone there's been no videos

[@MUSICLOVERGIGGLES]

Joanna, just curious where do you get your activated charcoal from? Beautiful soap and great video.

[@denisem1632]

Hi thanks for sharing

[@Sinnomen1977]

Is it necessary to line those molds? I would imagine that it world just fall out? Like in a silicone mold? I hate lining molds that's why I asked

[@evaedmonds3498]

I am so excited for this series! The AC bars are great for sure, people love them :) Thanks for the hard work!

[@nadyaweekes1669]

Can I ask where do you get the 36 pounds square mold ?

[@pattimessenger6214]

She did a video about her slab molds, and the link for her mold s in the description. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJLQiZ6Ld7CdorM

[@lynnscholes1617]

Please can you explain soap maker 3 is? Newton soap making xx

[@quiverfullmomma137]

When you say 50/50 lye solution, do u mean equal amounts water and lye? I'm kinda new and still learning how it all works

[@TheSoapGal]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bV6weHWCm7KcgtE

[@TheSoapGal]

Yes, I use a 1 to 1 solution of water and lye that I make ahead of time. Them add extra liquid as needed to make a soap depending on oils used. Soap Maker 3 software helps me with this alot!!

[@quiverfullmomma137]

Thank you so much

[@msztax]

@@TheSoapGal ; according to the SM3, using the 50/50 solution. say for instance, it has premix needed: 27.78oz and extra water: 20.18oz. Do you substitute the Aloe Vera Juice as the extra water of 20.18ozs. Or do you add the Aloe Vera Juice in conjunction with the extra water of 20.18oz. And if so, how would you know how much of the Aloe Vera Juice to add since it's not calculated under the Additives section.

[@joannsumner1960]

Cool

[@gardengrlz]

Another question...I noticed that you seem to have a lot of waste/trimmings after cutting your slabs, do you do anything with those or toss them?

[@TheSoapGal]

Yes, I donate them to local homeless shelters. I also sell scrap sacks at seasonal markets. But mostly donate.

[@HeritageSoapCo]

Is Lulu on Etsy? I have one but I want to try a new brand

[@roselinederonvil1064]

you should sell the slap mold and the cutter.

[@kimwitulski4356]

What % of essential oils do you add? Is the Aloe and water mixture = amounts? Cant wait for your slab mold to come out. Do you use freezer paper to line it?

[@TheSoapGal]

Yes on freezer paper. I use .5 oz per pound of my base oils

[@susannminall7456]

Question: You don't mist your soap with alcohol, why?

[@TheSoapGal]

In blocks I do not because the top becomes scrap, but in Artisan slabs or loafs yes I do! Great question!!

[@Sun-ocean-beach]

How much aloe?

[@dr.w.octaviamalveauxdent1315]

Joanna, why is your soap such a beautiful black? when I use activated charcoal, I get a dull grey. Please help.

[@TheSoapGal]

I use fine ground coconut activated charcoal you get deep black color very time.

[@dr.w.octaviamalveauxdent1315]

Thank you very much for responding. My follow up question is how do I calculate the amount of activated charcoal to use in a recipe--what do you recommend?@@TheSoapGal

[@buttermilkbaysoap9416]

The Soap Gal you said bamboo activated charcoal.

[@smjsmj6948]

The beveler is from Lulu do you have her site? I like the way it cuts.

[@christinageller1649]

How does the activated charcoal not stain your skin

[@billionairegirltobe]

It's a colorant or it's not a pigment. Think of it in terms or sugar, sugar is white but when you put it in food it doesn't make them white

[@boop7313]

😳40% coconut oil! That will dry the skin out.

[@TheSoapGal]

The recipe is balanced with olive, castor, and shea :)

[@boop7313]

@@TheSoapGal My dry skin and I will have to respectfully disagree with you Soap Gal lol! I'm an artisan soapmaker and from experience that soap would be very drying and uncomfortable for me with 40% coconut oil and a 5% SF no matter what other oils are in it. I realise it's an activated charcoal soap so it's probably designed for people with oily skin not people with skin like mine. Please don't mind my comment, I was just a little taken aback.

[@wildcatsoapsco]

@@boop7313 I also use Hemp Seed Oil in mine, along with Coconut Oil and other oils. I have psoriasis and it helps to moisturize my skins and lessens how much medicated lotions I have to use.

You should put music on while you blend and why do you yell at the camera when you speak? And your shirt looks filthy, I don’t expect your clothes to be glowing,but I kinda expect you to look a little cleaner Plus shouldn’t you have scraped your essential oil blend out of your jug

[@doll777nz]

Goodness, this lovely lady is offering assistance to anyone that is interested, to help them expand their home businesses, and you are rudely commenting on her appearance and volume? She is working with oils constantly and working very hard so its expected she would get some splashed on her during the day. I think she's awesome and her soaps are marvellous. She is also giving her recipes for free so maybe cut her some slack.

[@alwyngreen7205]

@@doll777nz when making videos there is expected to be those that disagree on some things. I never said she was a bad soaper.. I was only giving tips myself and if you read my comment I said I don’t expect her clothes to be glowing. And I said Shouldn’t you have scraped your jug not you should scrape your jug.

She’s so sweet and I think she does a great job at explaining and entertaining. Life isn’t perfect, People aren’t perfect, and I like that she’s “REAL”, not fake. I enjoy her video’s. PS: I”m a mom, homeschooling and new soap maker, (For my own family). I don’t care how young , pretty and in shape you are. She is REAL..that’s what we really look like. Power to you lady!! I love your video.

[@pattimessenger6214]

Maybe comments like this are the reason that she hasn’t posted for so long! Soaping is messy, oily business. Liquids splash. She probably has a few shirts that she wears to soap in because everything she wears to make soap I gets ruined. This shirt can’t be ruined. It is already ruined. Would you expect a house painter to dress in his best clothes for work?
