Hey Ellen what a great video. Can you please advise me as to whether Hamamelis Water (macerated witch hazel in 0.17% Benzoic Acid) would be a better alternative (no alcohol into lye), or do people not use it because the distillate is weaker, and therefore it's affect less potent? I was hoping to make a rosehip, witch hazel, hemp seed and olive oil soap maybe with some essential oil. I find the Ice bath a useful suggestion! I also wondered whether using at trace would preserve some of the anti inflamatory or astringent make up of the the witch hazel than adding it at the beggining? :) Old video, so I hope this finds you. Thanks for the content. Jack
Yes, witch hazel without alcohol is the best for soap making. Your soap plan sounds wonderful! I don't think adding it after trace would make a huge difference because it's still got to saponify.. You could try doing a Hot Process and adding after gel phase that way...
