You are most welcome. It is a very basic recipe that you can play around with different oils and butters, glad you like your first batch 😀🌷

It is all my pleasure. Every essential oil has a different usage rate. You can find most on the www.eocalc.com Lovely calculator where you choose your blend of essential oils, enter your batch size and what type of product and it will calculate the safe usage rate for you.🌿

Jong die canner het my ook geintimideer, ek was vrek bang vir daai ding tot my man dit in perspective geplaas het. Ons pomp n kar band tot op twee bar, ons can net net oor een bar druk, daai canner gaan nerens heen ontplof as jy n halwe ogie oor hom hou nie. Whatsapp my en vertel waarmee jy sukkel dan kyk ek hoe ek kan help.

Hello there. I doubled or trippled the recipe when I made it so it will look more. Apologies if it seemed misleading, although I did say that I'm gonna make a larger batch and give the measurements for a 100gram batch 😉 The reason I give 100g recipes is because it directly translate to % for those who like to work with a formulation instead of a recipe. If your dish soap make the mix too wet it could be that I'm maybe using one that are a bit thicker (less liquid more thickeners) than yours, just start with only half the dish soap, mix and see what the texture looks like, if it holds everything together you are good to go, if stil too dry add little by little until you get the perfect amount, it's basically just the glue in the recipe. Make notes as you go to have a record for the next batch. 🌿

Oh ok I understand now! I apologise I must have missed what you said at the beginning of the video. Thank you!

Welcome Adam. Glad to have you 🌿

2%-3% is a good place to start for a nice skin feel, Cetyl Alcohol also thicken lotions, so just keep that in mind. Here is a calculator in my fb files that will help you with the formulations. facebook.com/share/p/6esZ4JXZRYy9fU6H/

@@saponify6677 thank you so much 😊

You are so welcome! If you have questions and can't find the answers on my channel, just comment under a video and I'll answer you or even get some great inspiration for a new video. Blessings Ansa

Hi there. I make 100gram batches meaning 1gram will be 1%

Hi there. Both processes ends up the same, I prefer cold process because I can use less water, meaning it will be harder faster. Here is a video as well where I discuss the two methods. ua-cam.com/video/hnrgFqE96G4/v-deo.html

Hi Shonna, weirdly I thought you would be someone that would also find it interesting. I must confess I also just about get to youtubr to post every second week, haven't seen any of your videos recently either. Hope you are doing well. It's good to hear from you. 🦎 🌸🌿

Definitely unusual 😄

Dit is wat dit is 😄🤷

Hi Rachel. You can definitely do that, after 20 soaps your hand can start to cramp up holding onto something so thin. I just like to throw the card in the soap scrapes tub after use... less stuff to put away, and I know where to find it :)

Hi Alicia. Oh, what an honor to get a "review" of my review video of your book. I'm glad you feel I did it justice 😄 It's still the favorite on my shelf, I think you've covered everything a beginner need and more, the second edition was already great. Thank you for your time knowledge that you shared and for your message, I appreciate it. xoxo

Dankie Maureen 🌷

Groot plesier Tertsia. 🌿🌼

Dis makliker as seep maak, maar ek waardeer jou ondersteuning. 🌿

Welcome to the channel, I'm glad the information is helpfull and thank you for the kind compliment. I appreciate you 🌿

Jip. Tot die katte loop agter my aan 😄

Hi Judy. Nee ongelukkig nie, byewas is wonderlik in balms en kan in klein hoeveelhede in room gebruik word om die vel teen vog verlies te beskerm maar dit is nie n emulsifier nie. Emulsifying wax is n spesifike soort was waar die molekules se twee punte een hydrophobic (lief vir water) and lipophilic (lief vir olie) is en die water en olie in n stabiele emulsie vashou. Byewss het net lipophilic kante en hou net aan olie vas. As jy water en byewas meng en jy het die perfekte verhouding en temperatuur kan jy die water tydelik tussen was molekules vasvang en dit lyk of dit n emulsie vorm maar sodra die was warm word, of geroer word as afgekoel het skei dit weer in olie en water.

Hi Sue. The free version only alows you to save one or two recipes online but you can use it as many times as you want. Here is a way how to save your formulated recipes offline on your computer, a good habit even if you have a paid membership. ua-cam.com/video/ZJpD7_bx-hA/v-deo.html

Hi Nadia. I used 90% Tallow, 10% Coconut oil. (For laundry soap like in this video 1% superfat, you can use this as bathing soap as well, then I increase the superfat to 5%) the duel lye is 90% NaOH and 10% KOH. 🌿⚘

Groot plesier Stephan, my ouma het ook beesvet gebruik vir seep, skaapvet het in die wors ingegaan en varkvet was gebruik vir braai en panne uitsmeer, sy het regte plaasbotter gemaak. Ek dink die hoofrede was/is dat bees niervet nie eetbaar is nie, dis soos was, dit plak aan jou tong en tande vas, dis net goed vir seep en kerse maak , so hulle het toe maar seep en kerse daarvan gemaak enbdie ander vet vir ander goed gebruik.

You are most welcome Sue, thank you for your support all the way from Australia 🤗 It is so nice to hear where you all are from 😎

Thank you so much Roxane. I appreciate your support on my channel 🌿

@@saponify6677 I have a daughter that only uses beef tallo on her skin, so with getting ready for my first market of the season here , making emulsified body butters is a must and I live in a farming community so my hopes that it is big this year. It’s my first year selling my soaps and lotions.

All the best with the market, or the next if I'm too late for this one. Our marketers have a saying here. May you return home with full pockets and empty baskets. 🌿

You will have to find a cosmetic ingredient supplier. I have listed a list of Amazon links in this video if amazon might be an option for you. ua-cam.com/video/oli8418i34Q/v-deo.html

If you are in South Africa - essentially natural (online shop)

@@lunellevanniekerk2987 Thank you, and I am in South Africa

Mmmm 🤔 I'm not sure, It might very well be, I do have some lanolin, I'll compare the fat and lanolin and let you know in the next comparison video. Thank you for the pointer because it's been bugging me, because It is a familiar scent. 🌿🌻

I wanted to come back to you regarding the Lanolin fragrance and you are spot on. It is just a very soft version of Lanolin. Thanks for helping me out on this one.

@@saponify6677 You're welcome! I'm learning so much from your videos, so I'm glad I was able to reciprocate in a small way.

Thank you, The soap comparison video will be Coming soon (next month after curing) 😁

@@saponify6677 Thank you very much

Thank you for your support and kind feedback ❤

In Afrikaans we call it niervet "kidney fat", it does render less smelly, I think its because there is less blood and beefy bits that can turn into crackling. The colour depends a lot on the animals diet and age. Before I discovered Maureen I bought fat from different sources and even though it was all organ fat the colour varied from pure white to light butter yellow but are always hard, the suet fat is much softer (squishy) and almost liquid at room temperature, and very prone to Saterday BBQ fragrance

Thanks 😅 I thought it was "Very vague" 😂

Maureen's Tallow is a true blessing, I used to render my own beef Tallow but this is a great time saver and a great product. I bought from other suppliers before that smelled terrible.

Thank you so much. They sometimes takes just as long as making and editing the videos 😁🌿

Castor oil is great for a nice creamy lather but being a unsaturated oil it will not contribute to hardness or longevity at all, if you use more than 10% castor oil in a formulation it can start to negatively effect your soap in the sense that it becomes leathery and sticky before you get to the point that it really softens your soap. Canola and sunflower oils are lovely oils to soap with but they are also high in unsaturated fatty acids (Linoleic and Linolenic) and in high concentrations can cause rancidity (DOS - Dreaded orange spots) Between the two I would rather use some Canola than Sunflower, both will result in a softer soap. For longevity you need to use something high in stearic acid or palmitic acid like, palm oil, shea butter, tallow or isolated stearic acid or soy wax in small quantities 10%

Glad you find it interesting, I don't mind sharing information that could help someone else. Life is way too short to make all the mistakes ourselves😄

Great suggestion Jaco! Will see where I can fit it in.

​@@saponify6677schweeeeet!

Hope you are going to like it!

Hope you enjoy, an please give feedback how it works for you, I'm always curious to hear back from people who might have a different quality of water from mine.

Ek gaan die een beslis geniet. As die plaas saamspeel record ek die eerste een môre en sal hy in die volgende week gereed wees. Watch this space 😉

Ek is saam opgewonde oor die een.

I'm only familiar with Beef Tallow and love it. It seems like I might find a new love or maybe just another. Let's see if I agree with you. 😎

Thank you so much, it does make things more stress free.

Overall my only " dislike " is still the schlep to clean under the 4 blades after soapmaking. It's noisy in the level of stick blender noisy but nothing excessive, the speed controll is a nice feature and I found that I blend most on the lowest speed. It stood up under some heavy batches without a problem, and I chopped quite a bit of herbs for oil infusions with the chopper unit. All in all it's performing well so far.

Thank you for the quick reply back😊. Got it today and already put it to use. Very satisfied with it. Grateful for your video. Baie dankie!

I hope it serves you well for many years.

I tend do divide my life into compartments apparently. Even with Life coaching, I'm either a life coach or a friend but chances that I'm gonna coach you or even just listen for limiting beliefs over a cup of tea propably never gonna happen. For some reason it never occurred to me that youtube and HerbOil could overlap 😄 or that people who want to lean how to make their own products would be interested in what I sell. 🤷

There are so many herbs seen as weeds, but I don't think it's declared as invasive. I grow my own Broad leaf Plantain (Plantago Major) but I do know the Plantago Lanceolata (narrow leaf plantain) grows in abundance wild along the west coast, Dannabay, Mosselbay, Kleinbrak all the way inland to George, and I've found some on the sidewalks in Pretoria/Centurion and Pietersburg as well.

Way too long 😄

I think it's because they can use the pork fat in sausages but the beef organ fat is yucky to eat and propably gets discarded if not sold.

I agree, although for some reason I prefer working in inches when sewing, maybe because it's printed larger and I can read the measuring tape without my glasses 😄.

Dis n vooreg om jou friendy te wees. ❤🌿
