Such a straight forward easy to follow tutorial, thank you!
Your method is really simple I will try it…
How much does this lather ? Do u add essential oils for smell ?.
Great video. Question: could the Shea butter be substituted for cocoa butter instead, and the coconut oil with lanolin oil? I’m allergic to Shea and coconut oils. Also can I use a whisk instead of a handheld blender? Thank you
Thanks!!! Yes you can but you need to play around with the ratios. I think cocoa butter is a harder consistency so if you were to substitute it with cocoa butter I would either up the Castile soap ratio or put less cocoa butter.
In regards to the Coconut oil replacement. I don’t know about lanolin oil since I haven’t used it before. But you could replace it with olive oil or almond oil.
And yes you can use a whisk or blender if you don’t have handheld.
Hope this helps 😊
Thank you so much. Happy Holidays!
It does liquify after a while. I wonder why. It never maintains the thickness.
Nice
Hi Maria, thank you for the recipe. Can we also use it as a shampoo? I suppose the ingredients for shampoo are pretty much the same..
Ohhhh I wouldn’t use this recipe as shampoo!!! Shampoos have totally different ingredients
Oh ok, thank you then..
Are you 100# sure it won’t split, solidify or spoil/mould ? I’m confused how both the oil and water mixed together here 💭 🤔
I have revised and improved the recipe over the years. Please read description
Do you need a preservative for this?
Nope you don’t need a preservative for this!
Whats the shelf life for this
I make a big 32oz bottle for the kids and it can last for 6+ months. If you planning on making extra and storing it in the cupboard while you work on finishing one bottle, don’t do it!!
Because this formula is all natural it needs a good shake every time you use it in the shower. Therefore that extra bottle your keeping in the cupboard will harden overtime (if not shaken).
Don’t you add preservative ?
No preservatives. And it will last for months
Your audio is not matching with the recipe you have given written?
I revised the recipe for a better consistency. The written recipe in the description is the one to follow.
Ok...thanks 😊
And if we want to add preservatives for long shelf life ...then what is the percentage to put?
I’ve never added preservatives before. But I make a 16oz bottle and it sits in my shower for over 4 months and no issues.
Ok...thank u 😊
