Keep up the awesome work Ashley, your soaps are stunning and ignore the negative nancy's because theres always one! I love your content and pretty soaps.
It means you use less water either because you want your soap to cure more quickly, or because you will be adding some other kind of liquid to the soap later in the process. You must use at least as much water as lye in order for the lye to fully dissolve.
I think she works at a grocery store so she gets about 10% off. Don’t worry I’m sure you can still make this soap without having to work at a grocery store lol jk I think she means the heating process? 🤔 as heating it up would make the water reduce a bit. 🤷🏻♂️
@@Username-es1iyokay..so, water discounting is not the same as a coupon discount at the grocery store🙄water discounting is withholding a portion of the water from the recipe for some other kind of liquid like milk etc. or to make the bar harden faster. you can buy tallow on its own, just like lard. “The heating process” is the chemical reaction of lye & water. Youre not heating it on a stove you dont need to. The lye heats up super quick to almost 300f & melts all of the solid butters. Thats what us in the soap business do to melt our solid butters with the chemical reaction from the lye & water mixture.
If I want to add coconut oil and castor oil to this recipe, do I take the 35 oz of tallow and reduce it by the number of oz of coconut and castor oil I want to add? i.e. 20 oz tallow 10 oz coconut oil 5 oz castor oil?
Do you retain the aroma of essential oils in soap made with beef fat? I made soap and after I cut it into bars, the aroma lasted for 2 days. But then the aroma disappeared... is this a feature of beef fat? I tried the same essential oils in a recipe without beef fat and everything is fine, the aroma is persistent.
I did both and it works amazing. But the herbal tea will only give you a light color and no aroma. There is a small ratio of water to other ingredients so it does not show much. For milk, i used goats milk and it work fine but you really need to make sure you freeze it before because lye will make it heat and it could smell really bad.
Hi and thank you for the video. I made a bar using your water discount and it's been 24hrs. I removed it from the mold and the bar is not very hard. In fact some areas are very soft. I decided not to cut the bar yet. I mixed everything till it was starting to get firm. My receipt was 15oz tallow, 15oz coconut oil and 6oz caster oil. I put in turmeric, honey and some essential oils. I used you water to lue mix. Will my bar ever harden and do you have any ideas why this happened? Thank you again
If sodium hydroxide is added to make the soap and that chemical can burn the eyes. When you use the soap, wouldn’t that then burn the eyes? Also adding petroleum to the mixture. Doesn’t that defeat the object of having tallow soap, as tallow is good for the skin? Love the video anyway, despite my questions 👍👍
I make a tallow soap they last for ages and is very mild not bubbly but creamy. A tallow and milk soap is great for creating a cream lather adding sugar to the lye mixture will help create bubbles.
my great grandmother used to make tallow soap...I am sure they all did back then. But, she was blinded in one eye because the lye splashed up into her eye, so please be careful everyone
I used the 10 oz of water and my soap set so beautifully, thank you for the recipe!
Just letting it cure!!!
Love the hard bar!!!!
tallow make the best bar of soap the lather is great!!!!!
It is so great!! My favorite oils are the ones that produce really hard bars like tallow:)
Hey!! How much turmeric and essential oils do you add?

Thank you so much!!! This is so true, it doesn’t matter what you say or do, someone will always have something to say! I truly appreciate you🥰

What do you mean by water discount?
As always no one answered

She added less water to this recipe then she normally would have. She cut the curing time, basically in half by doing this.

Hi, what's a water discount? New to this and would love to make this
water discount is using less than a 2:1 lye to water ratio for different purposes like taking it out of the mold easier
What are the measurements
How could u add aloe vera to your recipie
Great work!
Thank you!!
Hello girl , how much EO and turmeric?
Thanks will make my first batch.
How do you know when to use a water discount
I’m curious will the turmeric turn your skin orange?
When you say « 7 ounces of water », are these liquid ounces or weighed ounces?
Lovely soap
Followed the recipe exactly and the soap is not tracing?
Can i use sheep tallow?

Did you use the same essential oil for both batches? Because some essential oils don't leave a scent in soap as much as other essential oils do.
Could I use herbal tea or milk instead of water for the lye water mixture?

how was your dish soap for dishes?
Love it!!! 🧡💛💜🧼🫧
how many ounces of soap total does that mold hold?
Have you made the soap with tallow and KOH? If so, what was the texture?
How much scent did you use?
What brand essential oils do you use? Im having a hard time finding a brand that will sell to me in bulk
😅
Mountain Rose Herbs, Or New Directions are both great places to buy Essential Oils.

This is such a perfect recipe. But can you explain how do I calculate this recipe recipe if I want to make a smaller batch
use a soap calculator
Thank you for showing me a water discount. ❤
Beautiful 😍 🎉
Thank you🥰
What happened to the sound. Do you have this written somewhere

as the soap sets the Hydroxide is neutralized and is no longer in the soap.
@@kerrikolby6124 ahhh I understand 👍
Nice vid ty
How long do these bars last? I can't wait to buy the stuff to make it

@@marygunning5121😂 you still didn’t answer his question 😂
@@taffythegreat1986 it depends on how frequently you use it.
I guess I added to much natriumhydroxide, my "soap" is crumping, smelling like caustic and doesn't feel good on the skin.

This seems to be way too much of a water discount, I made this and feel super itchy from it
This level of water discount will not cause that, is it possible you incorrectly measured the lye? Or used too much of an essential oil?
Why such a huge water discount
I like you already
