Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, magnesium brine oil is different from the flakes. Different in composition and purity. For this recipe, I would stick with the flakes and try and find a formulation using the brine oil.

@@SelinasAesthetics I used extra virgin olive oil.

@stephanierobillos And I had to be the first, lol. 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@mayflylife Ironic update! HAHA. I FOUND molds on some ginger I just bought this morning! It was from an organic store and looks like it got wet a bit (but it was the only one left). When I got home, I inspected it again because I just watched your video haha. Lo and behold, there it was- MOLDS! Thank you again for making this video- you saved my ginger bug batch today!

@dctarrant5 Thank you for your question. I had the same issues when I made them for the first time. Continuous mixing and drizzling very slowly is the key. I know it can be a little frustrating, but it does the trick. I hope this helps.

@@Josphinegodspower I've never used a regular cooker, but you could always try. It must be a low heat so as not to burn the soap, but hot enough that it would cook the soap. The problem is getting the right temperature.

Thanks

@Josphinegodspower Thank you for your question. I would advise against using Shea butter. Beldi soap is made from olive oil exclusively, and Shea would change the consistency completely.

@@SophiaFrangias I store mine in a glass jar once they have hardened.

@@mayflylife do you freeze them or how long do they take to harden? Do you have to put something in the jar to keep them from breaking apart?

@old_girl657 Yes, it should bubble slightly throughout the process. If it's bubbling a lot, add very little amounts of liquid at a time to the dry ingredients while continuously stirring.

Thank you very much​@@mayflylife

@TheDivera Hi Vera, you do understand that this is an African Black inspired soap, right? In authentic African Black Soap wood ash is used, which is, in fact, lye. As most people in North America don't have access to actual wood ash, lye is a replacement to recreate saponification. Reminder. I said this was an African inspired Black Soap.

@mayflylife Thank you. Long time ago, people in my country use to make soap from ash 😊

@LadyGoza The whole premise of this particular recipe is to create a bar style shampoo. Oils and butters that are used provide different properties, like moisture, softening, etc. Where the dry ingredients could strip some or all of the natural oils, leaving the scalp dry. That being said, I encourage people to experiment and make this recipe their own. The only way to truly discover if it works is by trying it. Give it a go and see what the results are. Best of luck.

@@daveg1052 Recipes vary, but the average temperatures are 300⁰F to 375⁰F for about 3 hours. Your dry beans should be soaked overnight to rehydrate them. Slow cookers are low and slow, but a Dutch oven casserole will be somewhat faster. I'd set the oven no higher than 375⁰F for a few hours. More steam will escape out of a Dutch oven than a slow cooker, so keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn or dry out.

@@mayflylife Thank you

You should be able to pick them up at any healthfood store. Check Dollar stores or order them from Amazon.

Yeah, it can foam really bad if the liquid is poured to quickly. It needs to be incorporated very, very slowly.

@@mayflylife i waited for the next morning and it turned into agel,ly and grainy.. i used it anways and it was nice.. do i need to dishwasher salt with this recipe.. thank you very much for answering..

Thank you for your question. Yes, you still need a rinsing agent.

Hi Maureen. I usually make small batches and place in a jar and store in the fridge. I will fill a toothpaste tube and have it used up within 10-14 days. I'll go back to my jar in the fridge and refill my toothpaste tube. The refrigerated toothpaste can last for a while, but I won't go longer than a few months. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. I prefer to use dry rice and then rinse with water later and leave to air dry. If your mortar and pestle instructs you to use wet rice, that’s fine. Not sure why they require wet rice. It come down to preference and this is the most popular method.

You are so welcome. ❤️

Bentonite clay is a great detoxifier and it absorbs like crazy, which means it will soak up the sweat. It shouldn’t cause any issues, but could be a little abrasive for delicate pits.

I experience some whitening, but not overwhelmingly so. You can cut back the amount of oxide if you’d prefer.

Thank you for your question. The 10% super fat means there is 10% more oils or butters in the soap recipe.

It’s not a dumb question at all. Yes, it’s made for men and women. Including a few drops of Tea Tree essential oil to the formula will help reduce the bacteria that causes the odour. It should last the day, but I’ve never tested it in extreme physical activities. The only thing you can do is test it by seeing how much activity it can handle. Sorry I can’t give you a definitive answer on that.

Although vitamin E is an excellent ingredient with some similar properties as castor oil, vitamin E doesn’t provide the slip that castor oil does. If you want to experiment, give it a try. If you are happy with the results, great.

@@mayflylife thank-you.

Thats very strange because for me this recipe left a horrible white film all over my dishes. I am still searching for something that works.
