How to Fix Soap Seizing 🤨 Cold Process Soap Making
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 січ 2025
- Hey Sud Squad! Have you ever gone to make your soap and gotten soap on a stick? If you've been making soap for any length of time, chances are you've experienced this a time or two. Soap seizing occurs when the chemical components in an additive or fragrance cause your soap to trace too quickly. The good news is that there are some ways to get your fragrances or additives to behave so that you can still use them without seizing. In this video I demonstrate soap seizing and then show you how to counteract the effects.
I hope you find this helpful on your soap making journey!

Yes. After countless hours of reading and watching I've learned to do this step if I'm unsure if fragrance accelrates too fast ! With trial and error (t&e) I've learned the hard way believe me! Let me tell ya though ive never ever wasted a batch even if it seized, I just added lots of water and turned it into laundry detergent or rebatched cause dang it soap ingredients cost too much money to throw an unfortunate batch away😊❤ i absolutely am still blown away with your story and im so proud of you!! Thanks!
Hi Joana. Can you still use the soap that siezed? Can you cook it? Thanks
Yes you can, you can rebatch it, which is basically hot process soap. Melt it down in a crock pot, add a little more water, any additives you want to introduce, and quickly remould. No need to throw failed batches away - no way do that. Save it, rebatch it.
Very grateful for the whisk tip when using aromas that accelerate fast. Bless ya Soap Gal.
Thank you for your knowledge
Hi Joanna, thanks for sharing what you’ve worked so hard to learn. You’re the best. ❤🎉🕊️❤️
I would never have thought of that
Good evening, Madam. You are truly a beacon of knowledge to emulate, and your work is very, very beautiful. I follow every video on your channel. Thank you, Madam. Thank you for this valuable work.
Such a life …well soap saver! Thanks for this vid🎉
To clarify: just use a whisk instead of an immersion blender once you add the fragrance?
Thank you!
Thanks for that information.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this information. But what do we do if it Rices ans seizes, like Gypsy Rose FO? That one smells beautiful, but oh my goodness, it riced and be ame soap on a stick in seconds. Thank you.
Great question! I will try and cover this topic soon.
@@TheSoapGal Thank you Joanna.
Thank you. This was helpful information to know
You are so welcome!
Hi Soap Gal, love this tutorial here thank you. Only one thing though, and sorry if this is a silly question. You said R & D around six times in this video without elaborating. What does this mean, what does that stand for? You got people all over the world watching from different languages and cultures - why the abbreviation, is the phrase too long to say it? Would appreciate the explanation, then this will be jargon-free lesson in soapmaking. Many many blessings. x
1 hour later!
Okay got it - research and development, spelt out clearly on another of your videos. Cool!
R&D is Research and Development. :)
No problem! Happy to explain. You can also reference "How to R&D your soap bars" This is research and development. I mentioned it here because what I am performing is a test - sometimes you don't always know how your fragrance is going to behave which is why you want to "test" or perform research and development to learn how your recipes behave and test to ensure consistency.
Thank you
I see a hot process rebatch of soap coming right up... 🤣😂 Thank you Joanna Much Love 💖💖
Haha yes! Thank you for being a part of this amazing community!
Beautiful!!! Thank you!!!
Cheers from Sydney Australia
THANK YOU!!!🎉🎉
So glad you enjoyed it!
Helpful information! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Good evening, Madam. May I have a link or the soap calculator program that you are working on? I am one of your followers from Jordan
What if I want to use less than 3lbs of the oil blend? How will that work for a beginner?
Thanks so much for the video. You went super fast. Question…. You added water to the oils the lye water (50/50) to the oils? Or did you add all of the water to the oils then dry lye?
Great question! I added water to my oil, then 50/50 lye solution to that mixture
Awesome thanks so much for responding.
Why did you add water to your oils, mica, fragrance? I’ve never seen this before.
Doing this allows for a smooth base to add the lye into so you can focus on the trace
Whats R & D?
Research and development!
Uh oh, now you have to show how to save the soap after it seizes! 😉
If you watch all the way to the end you can see how to prevent it, but there's really no way to recover it the cold process way after it has seized but you can hot process melt it down. This is why I always recommend doing small test batches before making large batches
Thank you Joanna for your teaching and all you do. I've watched some of your great videos and I love them!. One question though, to do the R&D do I use my type of oils or do I need to use the Trinity oils?🤔 Thank you.
What is R&D?
Not sure as well but basically your suppose to do a test batch of the fragrance to see how it will react. If you really like it you can try the method she showed.
Research and Development
Research and development! This is where you confirm that your recipes are coming out how you want them to and ensuring consistency for your customers
My soap seized without any fragrance. Why ?
It's likely you used too much lye or not enough water!
Blue slushy?
The actual kids frozen sweet?
No that's just the name of the mica :)
This video shows how to AVOID seized soap .... not what to do with seized soap!!!
Thanks Scott! We will change the title. sorry for the confusion!
Seek the Lord Jesus Christ while he may be found everyone. Be Holy as God is Holy everyone.Sin shortens life, because of our sins we are separated from God. Everyone have an expiration date and this world have an expiration date.There is nothing in this world worth going to hellfire for, depart from worldliness everyone. It's NOT about religion/denomination, it's about a relationship with Jesus Christ by praying everyday, reading the Bible everyday, believe the gospel, While you are still alive repent of all of your sins and be born again. Rapture is imminent, do not be left behind. Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, get yourselves ready. This WORLD is TEMPORARY and HEAVEN is PERMANENT, Choose wisely everyone.,
amen!
🙌
Thank you.
