🌊 Making Soleseife - Seawater Soap (with simple drop swirl)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 гру 2019
- Among my friends and family, this soap is famous! Everybody loves it. It’s my ‘soleseife’ or ‘brine soap’, made with fresh salt water from the sea, coloured with uplifting, oceanic colours and scented with a beautiful essential oil blend.
I collect the seawater to make this soap from North Stradbroke Island, just off the coast of Brisbane, Australia. North Stradbroke Island is part of Quandamooka country, and its traditional name is Minjerribah. I respectfully acknowledge the Quandamooka people and their elders, past, present and emerging. This beautiful country is my favourite place in the world, and I’ve been visiting the Island since I was a child.
Recipe details
Olive oil, 850g
Coconut oil, melted, 100g
Castor oil, 50g
Fresh salt water from the sea, 225g
Sodium hydroxide/caustic soda, 138g
(1000g oil batch, 3% superfat and 38% lye concentration) - if you’d like to learn more about calculating your own soap recipes or what these terms mean, please check out my video on that subject here • How to Formulate and C...
For the colours you will need titanium dioxide, blue and green micas (or whatever alternatives you prefer).
For the essential oil blend, I used (and it is divine!):
Bergamot, 24g
Patchouli, 8g
Peppermint, 8g
The essential oils in this soap recipe are calculated at 4% of the total soap recipe oil amount - 40g total.
Mould size
My mould used in this video is 37cm long, 7cm wide and 5.7cm deep.
In inches that is 14.5" long, 2 and 3/4" wide and 2 + 1/4" deep.
It holds 1.480kg of soap batter - just enough for this recipe.

Omg im keen to try! Im surrounded by ocean! Ill definitely come back to share with you my findings.thanks for showing me that soaping is doable by muggle ❤🙏
Very good
Enjoyed your video though I must admit I also enjoy your videos when you speak.
Hi Elly...I did it! I made this soap and it came out perfect! Thank you very much for your recipe and videos...keep them coming😁
This is BEAUTIFUL
I didn't think you could improve on using desert sand, but seawater is a whole new outlook, thank you. I'm a home soaper and not used colours, now I'm dusting off the moths, breaking open the wallet and investing in some colours. You are a natural teacher Elly, great UA-cam videos ... inspiring
Elly
I just found you and cannot get enough. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. My husband is making my mould in the morning. I'm so excited❤️
Hi everyone, here's the review video for this soap if you're interested, over a year after making!
Hello! I made cold process soap today with salt brine instead of distilled water, but used olive oil only. It took 36 hours to demold, it is not solid hard but it is very firm. I used liquids at a Lye ratio of 1.7:1 as per Zany's recipe. Now I just wait for the curing time.
Very nice video. I enjoyed it. In Sri Lanka We hv plenty of Sea water. I will try.
Beautiful Sea. Lovely colors in your soap, I bet it smells divine, I love anything with patchouli.
Lovely, Elly! You inspire me to continue on my soaping journey-I’m just getting started. Now you’ve given me another reason to get to the beach. 🏝 😊
YAY! Thanks. I will be collecting water in the Atlantic Ocean off of Cape Cod (Massachusetts, USA).
With alll the turmoil in this world, I found watching you make this beautiful soap so peaceful. It is gorgeous! And so is your soul! Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing
I went to the shore with my daughter & granddaughters & we saved some ocean water from the beach in Ventnor, NJ. My granddaughter's eyes got big when I told her I could make soap from it! I am cautiously optimistic that this will be beautiful! It looked good going into the mold so fingers crossed! Thanks, Elly, for sharing your talent & knowledge!
Hi Elly. Thank you so much for this beautiful demonstration. I'm confused about why the batter is not mixed to trace, as it seems in all of your other videos it is. I understand it may be because it sets up fast, but I thought they all had to come to trace first and that's actually a rule....
