It was one of the smoothest textures. I couldn’t tell a difference on performance or shelf life, just texture.

Great question! Neither lemon juice nor yogurt would alter the pH. The lemon juice has citric acid which would interact with the lye, freeing up more of the fats. So it would increase the SF a little but not alter the pH. The pH of soap is just going to be a little on the higher side, usually around 9-10.

@@JandWSoaps Okay, is there any way to lower the ph balance? I tried using lye soap on my face but was too strong.

@@tricieb.5921 if there’s a way to lower it further, I’m unaware of it. The last time I looked into it, even Dr. Kevin Dunn hadn’t found soap with a lower pH. Soap is just going to have a higher pH. Synthetic detergents can offer a lower pH though and are a good option for many people who need a lower pH.

I go by the manufacturer suggestions for quantities. With mica, you can often use more with little to no bad effects, but it is possible to add too much and cause staining. I’ve never had that problem, but I’ve heard others have in large excess amounts. I use oil reserved from the batch to pre mix them. That way I’m not increasing the SF. Some people use addition oils, which add to the SF some, but it’s personal preference.

Herbs may not provide much scent. Essential oils and fragrances usually provide much better scent retention. I have read where some people make their own essential oils. Maybe that's a possibility for you as well. Just be sure to go by the IFRA so you don't use too much. I think it's an amazing idea to use as much of the animal as possible. No sense in wasting it when you can put it to good use. 😃 Thank you so much for your comment and kind words.

Thank you 🥰

Thank you so very much! 😍

Thanks! It was a great soap to make and use!

Thank you for your response. I used 75% of the oil weight in salt if that helps.

@@JandWSoaps Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback. I use a video editing program and turn the music down to about 30%. If I didn’t do that, it would be very loud. I figured people might still have to turn the volume down anyway. That’s what I have to do frequently when I watch videos with only music.

Thank you so much 🥰

"It's fine! It's fine! Everything's fine!" That was pretty much my mantra through this 😂

You are too kind, soap sister! I need to do this one again and act like I know what I’m doing with the FO next time. 😂

I was absolutely panicking 😅. I figured if it had too many air pockets, I’d make another one that wasn’t so full of holes. It wasn’t as holey as I thought it might be though. The cutter is absolutely worth it. I have an amazing single bar cutter, and I haven’t gotten it out since I got this station. This one does it all.

Thank you so much, Shonna! 🥰

Thank you so much. 🥰 I was hoping for the best but mentally preparing myself for the worst 😅

Thank you 🥰. It never feels like it’s enough, but I guess every bar of soap gifted is still a bar of soap gifted.

Thank you! I wasn’t sure about how it was going to go for a while there 😅.

It's just what I feel comfortable making. 😃

Lots of people do! Each to their own. How do you do yours? I’ve never made a video. Bless these content creators for providing FREE information…💜

Thank you so much! 🤩 It's such a forgiving technique. Even if it's a little thick, it swirls so nicely still. Thank you, again, friend! 🥰

Thank you so much! 😍

I'm glad it was useful to you 😃

I’m still shocked! I can’t believe it still. Thank you so much, dear friend! You’re incredible! 😍

@@JandWSoaps I can believe that!! I was so happy for you! You won because you did an AWESOME JOB! Everything about your soap was SUPER AWESOME! Much LOVE!! 😊❤

@@AromaDelightBeautyCareProducts thank you so much, my dear friend 😍

Thank you 😍 Do you make homemade ice cream? Now I want ice cream😂 You should absolutely try this. It's quite forgiving. It's like the one pot wonder where it produces interesting designs, if it looks like wood or not. The entries are stunning. 😍

@@JandWSoaps No, I don't make homemade ice cream... but my husband likes vanilla and I like chocolate. So I buy vanilla and make my own chocolate, lol. You better go get yourself some ice cream 🍦

¡Muchas muchas gracias! 😍

Thank you

Thank you so much 😍

Thank you so much, soap sister! It’s refreshing for sure. 😃

I do. I haven’t made a single-oil lard soap in a good while, but many of my recipes now contain citric acid. I add the lye to the citric acid now instead of adding the citric acid to the soap batter.

Thank you!

I used 75% of the oil weight in salt. Since this video, I’ve discovered I like sea salt the best, and my husband still likes the Himalayan salt (too rough for me). Here’s some recipes including salt soaps if you’d like: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Ph9uAVtrbMNEVXB3_uh7OERziKavNJCwBXtqaSnkhg/edit

I’m glad it worked for you. I want to follow The Ultimate Guide to Soap’s methods (ua-cam.com/users/THEULTIMATEGUIDETOSOAP) but I haven’t gotten there yet. She makes it look so easy. I’m still working through one of her books, slowly but surely. It’s a great read and comes with 1:1 support. I highly recommend it. 😃

Thank you for your kind words 😍

Thank you so much! 😍 And wow! That’s wonderful what they do for little soapers like me. I’m flabbergasted and can’t form proper words to really express how big of a deal that is to me. Thank you for telling me how you found me.

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you so much! 🥰
