Hi, been to soaping for 3 months and ur an inspiration.God bless u more.
Fantastic!! I was struggling so hard with colorants. This answers alot of questions. Especially why my sandalwood vanilla bars kept turning brown!!
It's funny isn't it coz food wise everything vanilla is white, not in the soap world
Thank you for this! You answered some questions I had (and some I didn't realize I had lol). I've been obsessed with soapmaking videos for the last year, and I would like to try my hand at making some one day when my life is a bit more settled. This was very helpful. 💗
You're such an amazing teacher :)
Thank you this is so nice and clear! I bought your book too, very nice instructions!

My wife and I got a Holiday Gift from an Employee this year, she bought from a Soap Maker ( ETSY ) in Sacramento .We Love Barbara’s Soaps. I bought 12 Bars and Lotion . I sent some as a Gift t my cousin visiting from West Africa in Minnesota. She happens to be passionate Soap Maker back home. After reaching out to Barbara ,She suggested my cousin watch you videos . I have shared your video to Follow you.
Thanks for the information in this video. I have a question, can Oxides and Ultramarines be used in things that are completely oil based? Like a body oil?
When you are mixing your color into oil, are you using the fragrance oil?
Which one do you recommend to use for body butter? I’ve used mica in my body butters but it has like that shimmery glitter effect when applied to the skin. Would that be harm to the skin with the shimmer?
Can micas be used in body butters and body scrubs and used to sell

Which is best to use for semi permanent hair dye formulas?

Hi, when doing body scrubs and body washes can I just mix pigment once all products are together?
Which is best to use for body butters?
Plz plz plz answer my question... i took 200 gms of melt and pour goat milk soap base to which i have added fresh tamarind pulp... can you please tell me which and how much preservative i should use???
I could use some advice. I have a problem with the colorant I am using not dissolving in the bath water in my bath bomb. The colorant is just sitting on top of the water. Would you mind giving me some tips of solving this problem?
Can I use this powder for body sprays??
Thank you so much in advance!
How do I know which one is best for scrub, whipped butter, whipped soap
can someone help me out. if we sweet almond oil / avocado oil isn't in our soap recipe but we still want to use those carriers to dissolve mica, do we still need to somehow incorporate that amount of carrier oil in our recipe? would it affect our recipe? im not sure if we are supposed to "borrow" oil from our soap recipe to use it to dissolve the mica?
Hello can you make lip colorants for making lipgloss?😩
i am leaarning so much
I've always been confused about mixing the oil with the mica. I don't understand if you have to recalculate the recipe or if the oil you're mixing with the mica is already part of the recipe. For example if the recipe calls for 9 ounces of olive oil would you just subtract some of that amount to mix with the mica?
Can you use colourants in perfumery?
Can i use a white mica powder to make a body butter more white? my butter is a natural eggshell white.
Excellent information
Thank you for these educational videos!
Can you use eyeshadow powder to color soaps?
You will want to verify the other ingredients in the eyeshadow to ensure they are safe to be added. If there are non-recognizable ingredients we would not recommend using them.
@@bramble-berry thank you so much for responding back to me ❤
Can you use soap dye to color body butters?
Can I use mica in a shower gel?

Hi my name is Hinda I am new soap maker i like you all your soap decorating and how your anwer all questions I made melty clear soap but after I cut it, it started sweating. I'm not sure if the recipe is the problem. What I shall do? Thank you
7:12 do u take the oil from your measured batch or add extra oil to the mica? If extra oil how much and what kid should you use? Thanks🙂
We use a little extra of a light carrier oil, like sweet almond oil, to disperse the mica. For cold process, we like to start with mixing 1 teaspoon of mica with 1 tablespoon of lightweight oil.
Hi..can micas be used in facial serums?
Does your polysorbate 80 contain any animal fats? The one's I've found being sold in sweden (where I live) are not considered vegan.
Mica is mined in India by children as their family doesn't die on in poverty. But there are charities that try to stop this. But there's a huge demand. Need to check for fair trade.
Some micas are mined in unsafe conditions using child labor. Ours are not - we confirmed that with our vendor before bringing any colors in.
Is there a way to prevent mica that is out in soap from coloring wash cloths?
We have found that keeping your usage rate at 1 tsp of dispersed mica per pound of soap will help prevent the color from bleeding from your lather.
Have you looked into using phycocyanin for your soaps? I have a friend who mixed it with glycerine to make a nice dark blue bar of soap. You can reach out to me if you want to know more.
Can you use food coloring?!
Can you please teach me the calculation of each Ingredients
Where do i get this in Egypt ??? Please Answer me

If I use micas will my handmade cp soaps still be considered natural?
It depends on which type of mica you use, like she stated in the video. Also she stated her company sells natural micas.
Some micas will contain ingredients that are not naturally derived. If you have questions about a specific colorant you would like to use our customer support team is available to assist via chat or email on our website, www.brambleberry.com.
