Yes! You Can Make Soap with Ocean Water! Making a Brine &Salt Combo Soap

[@sharonnickerson9756]

Glad i found this video! My hubby is a lobster fisherman here in Nova Scotia. He bri gs me ocean water for my soap. I just started making soap a few months ago. I use full water replacement.

That is awesome! It's addictive isn't it! Have Fun!! 🤗

Im In NB and am just getting into making soap. i live on the ocean so I was wondering if it will work as well

[@rae9700]

Thank you Rae! 😊 I think he is pretty precious too! 💖

I so enjoy watching your channel! You are so very genuine and REAL. It really makes me feel good to know that we all can just create, have fun and try new things and not worry who is "looking over the shoulder" so to speak. Very glad you popped up in my list that one da😄

He, he, perfect, you made me giggle. Your soap looked fine as you cut it, I cut after about 2.5 hours and it's still really warm, sometimes with a gell ring just like yours, I just stack them back together again. I have an odd routine for mine, I stack them on top of each other, so the weight of them keeps them all snug, drape a tea towel over them and then put a cute bobble hat over the top, to hold it all together, it makes me giggle every time, hmm I wish you could attach photos to comments. I bevel mine the next day and they're fine to bevel then

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

That's a good idea to stack them together - the bobble hat is classic 😂 - wish you could attach a pic too, love it!! Thanks for the tip on beveling the next day - I was just a nervous wreck with doing these in a loaf mold for the first time hehe.

I have often wondered what would happen if I used ocean water....thanks for sharing!! Way to go Dad!!!!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks for watching! - He is the best! I can't believe he dumped a gallon of drinking water just to try to fill it with ocean water !😂♥

[@susanmoyle8143]

It looks great, not muddied at all 😊

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks Susan! 😊 I'm glad you think so LOL

Looks like a lovely soap, I havent made brine soap, but do live by the ocean, so might try it. I have done Himalayan soaps just recently.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

How did you use the Himalayan salt? Did you mix it into your soap at trace? I have not tried using that before.🤔😊

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

I just use it the same as you used the extra soap. I buy super fine Himalayan salt and put it in the soap batter once it has come to a light to medium trace, and then I sprinkle a tiny bit of chunky salt in the top

It's beautiful!!!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thank you Rachel! 😊 I appreciate your saying so ❤

[@NezumiSoaps]

That was funny about your brother making coffee with that ocean water! Lol Your soap is awesome! I love the idea of using ocean water for soap. Very cool 💕

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks so much! 😊 - yeah - I really had a great time hearing that story - I don't do it justice LOL

[@annejuliette4014]

I did enjoy your story about getting sea water. I live in the mountains about 90 minutes from the coast and asked my daughter to get a gallon of sea water…I got a tiny bottle less than half a litre 😂. I will try your recipe at the weekend.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Oh wow! You got less than expected and I got more! Have fun making 😆

[@getsmart99]

Your soap is beautiful Tammy haven't made a salt soap for ages so will get to thx for sharing and by the way your dad was so sweet

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thank you so much! - He is the best!♥

[@rathernotsay8510]

Did you filter the sea water or boil it?

[@suesparkledimndart4309]

Hi from Australia I have three week old sea water is it alright still to use ? New at this 😊

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

I honestly don't know for sure but I think it should be fine. Salt is the ultimate preserver 😆 so I don't think the water will "go bad", but I don't have a ton of experience with fresh salt water - I'm about as land locked as it gets 😂

[@suesparkledimndart4309]

Hi Tammy, made the sea salt soap yesterday , still in the mould after 24 hours still feels soft am I to leave it for longer ? Let it harden up ?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

@@suesparkledimndart4309 def let it harden up - are you sure you used enough lye? I had that happen, this summer actually, and realized I had to have mismeasured my lye - it never got hard. if it does not get hard after a couple of days I am afraid it may not be a good batch. Let me know how it goes, I'm invested in this journey of yours now 😃

[@suesparkledimndart4309]

Hi Tammy left the sea salt soap will cut it today thats been a while , will let you know how I get on .😊

[@annkinney2043]

Funny story!!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

One of my recent favorites LOL - you have to know my brother...he is so funny, I wish they had it on tape 😂😂😂
