Wild Backyard Soaps
United States
Приєднався 17 сер 2022
😁 Hi, I'm Rachel! 🌱 This is not your average soap making DIY channel. I bring the outdoors into my soaping and a unique spin on many projects. I provide recipes with exactly what I've used and try to keep things all natural with botanicals & essential oils - many even harvested from my own yard & garden!
I got started making cold processed bar soap in 2022 and have been enjoying this journey where science, nature, & creativity collide. Much of my inspiration comes from my wild backyard in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
With my teaching background, I love to share cool and helpful tips I've learned (sometimes the hard way!). Thank you for joining me on these adventures! I also take requests for future content ;)
👍Subscribe, like, comment, share! It really helps us UA-camrs grow. We put a LOT of time into making quality and valuable content for you to enjoy.

The recipe I used: Enter into soapcalc.net for your size mold.
1.8:1 distilled water:lye ratio (I did about 40% frozen goat milk cubes in place of some of the water)
5% superfat
0% fragrance - I calculate this in eocalc.com instead to find safe usage rates
35% olive oil
32% coconut oil
10% shea butter
10% cocoa butter
8% avocado oil (or some other luxury oil such as hemp or sweet almond)
5% castor oil
Optional: 1 tsp sodium lactate / lb of oils to help harden bars
Botanicals/colorants: French pink clay, madder root powder, rosehip powder, and dried wild rose buds
I added in some colloidal oats and local honey as well.
Fragrance/essential oil blend: 50% palmarosa, 40% lavender, 10% geranium
Note: I make these videos for your entertainment (and my own!). Please make sure you understand safe handling concerning sodium hydroxide lye before attempting any soapmaking projects. I am not responsible for the results of your soap making. If you would like more information, I have several beginner soap making videos in a playlist on my channel. :)

Even though you have a powerful citrus smell, does ANY apple scent come through?
@leeward4353 The cider is more for the fall catchy name and the sugar in it boosts lather. Not really for the scent ;)
Hi, I'm opening a small shop. Can I order a few samples?
@ChefDinaReyes Wish I could help, but I'm actually in the process of moving so I sold all my inventory and won't be able to make more for several months. Sorry!
Ooooh I’m going to try making these!
@@kmcsciguy Everyone's hair type is different. Start with a small batch and see if you like them first.
i need scales it looks like.
@@rickt1866 For accurate measurement by mass you mean?
you are not concerned about about splinters in your bum? hmmm
The camera missed the packaging entirely, would love to see this part.Awesome otherwise, thankyou
@susanfletcher6370 Yeah, that's my amateur camera abilities LOL. Sorry! I've made a lot of improvements since this video. Really need to share another one.
I tried using the EO calc for this recipe. Unfortunately, they do not have balsam fir or plain peppermint. I want to make a #5 batch of soap. Can you tell me how much of those 2 oils I would need? LOVE your videos!!!! :)
@joyvegerano9992 I think they have peppermint and balsam on there. Maybe not exact same name but it would be close enough :)
Absolutely stunning 😍
What kind of string are you using?
@corinnameans3021 I used twine, but any kind of string would probably work, maybe even better than twine.
If I don’t have juniper, do you think it’ll still smell good if I increase balsam to 20%?
@anitakusmulyana6566 Any kind of woodsy EO blend would work. Just be careful of safe usage rates - you can check eocalc.com to give you some ideas. I've made these in the past without juniper. Mostly used scotch pine and cedarwood with a bit of rosemary and balsam.
Absolutely beautiful!
Hi, another question if I may…did you use liquid coconut milk or powdered? What brand is your go to or works best. Thanks again
@shoogiegirlm3031 Either would work fine. Obviously if powder is used, it's a lower moisture so just make sure to account for that. I don't have a favorite brand. I've used several.
What % do you super fat please?
Just re watching as popped up. As you have an international audience Soap is regulated in many countries like Australia, UK and Europe
@@tassiegirl1991 Thanks! Yes, as I've gained more experience, I feel it would be good to post an updated video and mention some stuff like that :)
🌹🌹🫶🫶😊😊🎉🎉
❤❤🎉😊😊
You really helped me nail down what I want for packaging. And how to do it! I’ve been stagnant bc of this and now I feel like I can break thru
@blondescorpion8940 Awesome!! So glad that was helpful for you. I've made a few changes since this video was recorded but still happy to share :)
How long do you let it sit before cutting?
@Kimsigns2 My preference is to wait a couple days before unmolding, but 1 day is fine. It's usually quite soft after unmolding so I tend to wait a couple extra days for it to start drying out and not be so tacky before I do the cutting.
Where did you buy that oval tray?
@@Getmupei much searching online... They're hard to find. I ended up finding one on Amazon
Can you share your EO blend
@@karenurbanski5004 should be in the description.
@@wildbackyardsoaps sorry didn't scroll down far enough. Hope you are back soon. You have some very unique ideas
Being chai is just tea I'm confused which chai is one of your favorites
@MrCervasio1 I'm specifically referring to Chai tea that has the typical spices found in Chai such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Green tea is totally different
Pretty soap! Matching clothes is a great idea!
what format are you using to download out of Canva?
It depends on what I'm printing. I use jpeg or other image formats to upload into the onlinelabels.com Maestro design program for their templates
The only thing is you didn't remove the bottom, that's Aluminum! That and lye do not mix well. High toxicity in that soap.
Yes, I did think about that. I just cut off the end piece and didn't use it, so no worries ;)
No worries, I cut off the end piece and didn't use it. I did think of that but forgot to mention it.
Thank you so much.😊
Very cute.. :-)
thank You so much. It seems like a good recipe. what is the weather in your area though, just so that people like me from the UAE can follow it without itsoftening or melting due to the temperatures outside - like 45 degrees outdoors?
It can get up just over 100F here but also down to -35F so quite the range!
Michigan gal here too!
Haha awesome!
@@wildbackyardsoaps Detroit then Kalamazoo
Thank you so much for the wealth of information for Free.99 😊 You Rock!🥳
Hope it helps!
loving the soaps and your shelf ❤at times I prefer a creamier softer soap
Love your lip balms! Can you make a Dr Pepper one?😍
If I could find that flavor, yes! I prefer essential oils, but the sky is the limit with flavors :)
Love peppermint candies and bet the soap is refreshing!
Yes, some people really like the strong tingle and smell. For some reason I always feel "cleaner" when using peppermint soap compared with other essential oils
I can smell the yummy from here!😍
It's definitely one of my strongest smelling soaps!
The music is beautiful too!🎼
Your soaps are very creative!
Thank you!
Love the title of this soap!
Hehe thanks! Fun to throw a little extra creativity in when I can.
Another soap with the cute little trees! Love it - so much!
Haha I love that tree embed mold!
I love these soaps!!! I had no idea you could do such creative things with soap!
Haha I didn't either until a couple yrs ago!
The soap turned out super cute with the dried lemon slice and straw!
Aw, thanks! Makes me want more lemonade LOL
So pretty and luxurious-looking. I love the smell of peonies! Where did you get your peony essential oil?
I found it on Amazon. Not sure how high the quality was but I wanted to just try a small batch with the scent :)
What did you think of it? Do you think you'll use it again? If so, are you willing to share which one you got in Amazon?
@coffeerocks4764 it smelled nice but accelerated like crazy. I would say probably not worth sharing 🤷♀️ Peony essential oil is kind of rare and a pure oil would be pretty expensive.
Ok, thank you for the info on peony essential oil. I'm enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us in soap making!
This video is SO helpful as someone new to the soap making world! Thank you!!
I'm happy to share any little tips & tricks. As I've gotten more experienced I've made some slight changes but we all figure out our style with time :)
Made it today!!
Wow awesome. How did it go?
@@wildbackyardsoaps went pretty good. Anxious to see how the colors and inside come out. Any new videos coming out? Enjoy how you present your creations
@karenurbanski5004 I still have over a dozen videos that I just need to edit. Been sick and 31 weeks pregnant so very very behind!
@@wildbackyardsoaps OK
@@wildbackyardsoaps cut it already it turned out great
Love that purple soap!Was that lavender?
This was one of my first lavender soaps. When I first started I used mica powders but have been straying away from them since then.
@@wildbackyardsoaps yes I longer use micas . Love all your videos.
