Brilliant video for beginners 🤘
Thank you for this video and for sharing all this information. This video covers everything. Thanks again! 😊
You are so welcome!
Love this! Thank you for explaining these techniques for making soaps. I did recently stop using dried flowers in my soaps because they became rancid after a short time.
I didn't know Simply Earth did soap. Nice.
We have other natural product aside from essential oils. Check out our shop, simplyearth.com/pages/products
LOVED HOW YOU EXPLAINED IT ALL.. I HAVE WATCHED OTHERS AND YOUR THE BEST!! I WANT TO KNOW IF I HAVE TO MEASURE WITH MELT AND POUR SOAP?
😊thank you for this, i enjoyed listening to you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic! You thought of everything. Thanks. This was super helpful. I have just started researching soap making and I haven't heard about the rubbing alcohol on any other video. Quick question: Does the clear (glycerine) soap lather well? If not, is there anything I can add to it ? Thanks
thank you very much🧼
You're welcome 😊
How long does it take to dry and where do you leave it go dry .. put it in the fridge or on the counter ? Do you cover it to dry. Would of take 30 days to dry
Can you add vanilla beans that have been sitting in alcohol? (Left over from homemade vanilla extract)
What type of warnings do I need to put on melt and pour soap to sell it
Do you recommend a certain silicone pan insert or something to keep pans from being ruined with left over soap? OR - how do you clean the pans?
We just reheat the pan, wipe the soap residue, and rinse it with water. 😉
Thank you for this informative video. Is it safe to add fresh lemon juice to a melt and pour soap? If yes, how long can the soap be used?
It is safe but it's not a very good idea. The acid of the juice would neutralize some of the lye and the its citric acid content would make the pH of the soap lower.
@@SimplyearthThank you very much for your answer. ❤ I've been watching so many soap making videos and wonder whether they do it right/safe or not.
So is this only for lemon juice ?
Can carrot juice be used ?
@@Simplyearthhow much essentials oil per 1 lb soap base?
I was adding some aloe vera juice to my glycerin clear soap base, and it won't set. I didn't know what went wrong, do you have any suggestion. Thank you so much for your explanation.
Unfortunately liquid additives don’t work well with melt and pour soap bases, they can only be added in very small amounts. You could remelt the soap and actually add more water to create something similar to a shaving soap product like this recipe ua-cam.com/video/cpVnwWjgzJk/v-deo.html
Would've been nice to see more examples of the different types of soap made.
Hello. We have lots of soap recipes! You can check them out here in UA-cam or at blogs.simplyearth.com.
I overheating my soap on the stove and am also wondering if it is safe to inhale. I may just have panicked but I feel like I may have inhaled something I shouldn't. Should we wear masks when heating? It was a natural melt and pour base
Safety is always our priority! 😊 While natural melt-and-pour soap bases are generally safe, it's best to ensure good ventilation when heating the soap. If you are particularly sensitive, wearing a mask for an added layer of safety is a good idea. We hope this helps. Please take care while crafting! 🛁✨
How do I know how much fragrance oil to use in my soap 🫧🧼⁉️
We recommend about 2 teaspoons (0.3 oz) of essential oil per pound of soap base for a subtle yet captivating fragrance. If you prefer a stronger scent, add 4 ½ teaspoons (0.7 oz) of essential oil per pound of soap.
My coconut soaf base is not mealting. I am new, pls suggest me.
While we have yet to try a coconut soap base ourselves, many crafters highly recommend it for its moisturizing properties and creamy lather. If you're having trouble melting your coconut soap base, try using a low heat setting and stirring frequently to help it melt evenly. Remember, patience is key! 🌿✨
How to get more lather from m&p soap thx
Great question! 😊 To get more lather from your melt-and-pour (M&P) soap, add a bit of extra glycerin or a natural liquid soap base. Both ingredients enhance the lathering capabilities of your soap. Using a foaming agent like castor oil can also help boost the suds. Experiment with small batches to find the perfect balance. Happy crafting! 🌿✨
I’m new at making soap. I have been using melt and pour soap and very disappointed that I can’t do many of the gorgeous designs. My soap hardens too fast. I reheat it over and over but I’m still limited as to what I can do. Very frustrating.
What really helped me. I do a separate warm water bath for each soap. So while you’re working have your mixture in the water feel free to reach out to me ❤
Does the Soap base expire?
Our glycerin and shea soap bases have a shelf life of 3 years.
Do we need to spray alcohol first on the mold?
Other videos I’ve watched say that you should spray the molds first with alcohol then pour and spray alcohol again to get rid of air bubbles that form. . This is the first video that says that the layered soap won’t stick together if you don’t spray it with alcohol.
No need to spray on the mold. 😊 Take your time and pour slowly to avoid any unwanted bubbles. If they do pop up, spritz with alcohol. Spritzing your soap layers with alcohol before pouring your next layer on top will help "glue" the two layers together and keep them from separating. Happy crafting, and enjoy creating your perfect soap! 🛁✨
Id like to sell my melt & pour soaps but i find it so unappealing when it sweats in the bathroom. People dont want the inconvenience of wrapping soaps after use and removing it from their shower to place elsewhere to dry out.
The sweating you notice is due to the humectants in the melt & pour soaps. Humectants attract moisture from the air, so your soaps might develop condensation when left in a humid environment like a bathroom. While this might seem unappealing, it's important to note that it does not cause any harm. Humectants play a crucial role in providing the best soap experience by helping to moisturize your skin. They draw water from the air into your skin, keeping it hydrated and smooth. So, despite the minor inconvenience, the benefits of having these ingredients in your soap far outweigh any drawbacks.
