Marie you’re incredible! Smart, charming, sweet, and gorgeous! I have been watching your channel for years! I thank you for giving us recipes directly on the channel! I’ve made these bars and they are amazing! You’re an inspiration for many! Bravo
I would love to see a conditioner bar to go with this shampoo bar or something matching the other rice bar you made. I love all that you do and you make formulating look so elegant and professional.
Hi! Are you thinking a conditioner bar that contains rice, or a conditioner bar in general? If it's the latter, I've shared several over the years ❤️ ua-cam.com/video/7mNg3f8m-Vo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/zpAirUKJ0Xo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/4ER-QJkD8KQ/v-deo.html The videos are older, but the formulations are still good!
@@HumblebeeAndMe I tried using your cranberry orange bar and swapping out the cranberry oil with camilla oil and using hydrolized rice protein instead of the water but I think the way I mixed it was wrong it came out gritty and seperated. Thank you for responding to my comment. Right now I am a hobbyist in bath products and your site and you tube page has been so helpful and inspiring.
Yet another fantastic recipe, beautifully presented with a partener blog post. A constant stream of tested and practical formulatioins for both the home crafter or the buisnesses out there. You really don't need to go anywhere else.
I can't thank you enough, I learned how to make my first lotion watching one of your videos a few years ago. I have been watching you for a long time! You are truly awesome! Thank you!!
I made this again and I love this formulation. It comes together very quickly and is easy to press into mould. My SLSa is a bit more grainy so used some extra strach. I could have grinded it, too. My shampoo bars (including this) are often preserved with cosgard & phenoxyethanol & ethylxexylglycerine. I used new-to-me fragance, frangibani EO, which I adore! ❤
Easy and excellent recipe. I love it.❤❤❤ I made changes to the recipe (I added Kolin clay and Sweet Almond oil) and my hair looks much healthier and shinier.🎉 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, you are the best. ❤😊🥰
Can you talk about what to do if I have frizzy hair and want to make a shampoo that don't make my hair more frizzy 😊 What do I put ekstra in it...? Big hugs from Denmark 🌹🥰
Hi , Thanks for the formulation . I made and it turned out beautiful with lots of lather .I add Liquid Germall plus instead if optiphen ,hope thats ok .Can i add Neem powder or other Botanicals instead of rice powder .. Waiting for your reply .Cant wait to try with different ingredients .Thank you ❤❤
I am a newbie.I LOVE this shampoo bar and the #2conditioner. The less ingredients,the better I like it and it seems to be helping my scalp issues. I love in Mississippi so I knew from the beginning it will take longer for my bars to cure. Just one question: Is the bar supposed to be grainy? If it is, then I'm doing it correctly. If not, more oil? or better mixing? Thanks! (My whole family loves the body butter!)
I made these, they are wonderful, my hair is so soft!!! Thank you. Is there anything I can add to make them more firm? Is there a way to make them cure quicker and not feel wet, I let them sit a week. Thank you for sharing
I'm so glad you're loving them, woohoo! Re: hardness... is there any chance you used SLSa from Amazon? So far, every single time someone has reported the bar stays soft, that's been the problem. You want to use LATHANOL® LAL SLSa (sold by DIY supply shops and linked in the free partner blog post).
Hello Marie, I absolutely love your channel and all that you do! Just one question. Can SCI noodles be added to this formulation without removing any of the SLSA? 😊
Hmm. I'd probably try swapping 0.25% of the rice flour for goat milk powder and see how that goes. My main concern here is spoilage; milk at room temperature is not known for its stability :)
I doubt you'd notice a massive difference since this is a wash-off product, but it's certainly an easy thing to experiment with :) I'd just recommend keeping things on the cheaper side since the oil will be going down the drain quite promptly. I recommend giving this awesome post on hair & oils a read: science-yhairblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/oils-which-ones-soak-in-vs-coat-hair.html. Happy making!
Excellent. 😊 Hi Marie. I was wondering is there a way to put additives on this formulation and how? Can i replace the rice powder lets say seaweed powder?
Marie, I actually wound up changing the way that I make my solid shampoo bars because of you. With this new formula, how hard does the finished product become? The way that I’ve been doing it now for years is the cold process method, no heat involved for melting your SCI. They come out like bricks. This is the hardness that I need to achieve. Will this formula do that?
These bars are really hard, but I have learned through troubleshooting with a patron who used a cheaper Amazon SLSa that you can get a softer bar if you do that. I used LATHANOL® LAL POWDER from Stepan Company and that worked really well :) I'm so glad you're enjoying the cold process method for shampoo bars-I was 100% sold after trying it, too!
@@HumblebeeAndMe oh, yes, I will never go back to heating up and trying to melt the SCI noodles and get a big gloppy mess. No, thank you. OK, are usually get my powdered surfactants from reputable suppliers online, not from Amazon. Thank you for answering my question. I’m going to try this tomorrow.
Please tell me !!! 1. Can I use an ayurvedic oil (has a herby a bit strong smell) instead of coconut oil. 2. What amount of distilled water did you used in mixing the dye.
Hello from Hamilton , Ontario. marie, I love this recipe. Looks pretty easy. Thank you for always keeping us happy with you wonderful recipes and your lovely smile ehich brightens even a dab day. have a great summer ahead. FTM ( Forgot to mention) love your top. Looks gorgeous. thank you Marie
Hi Marie thank you so much for this video always so helpful and educational. but I need your help, I want to make diy stuff but I don't know how to use the scale properly as I have never used one before I always eyeball ingredients when cooking so this is new I have tried to make a few things but I always end up making more than I was planning mainly because I think I over weights my ingredients with the scale. so can you please do a video teaching how to measure with the scale. like 0.5g 15g 21.5g 13.1g 50g 100g 0.1g 100g and so on
Hi! You should sign up for my free DIY Skincare for Beginners mini-course-the first project teaches you how to use a scale ❤️ course.humblebeeandme.com Subsequent projects will teach you all sorts of other helpful making skills along with some great formulas!
I've never made a shampoo (bar or otherwise) with SLS. I don't even own SLS! This formulation uses Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa), which is very different from SLS :)
I made this bar on Sunday. I did exactly as it said, had all the same ingredients. It’s day 5 and my bar isn’t dry or much harder yet. I make everything from scratch at home. We use nothing from the store, but for something reason shampoo bars are my weak spot. Help?!
Hi Elizabeth! Did you, but any chance, use Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa) from Amazon? That's been the culprit every time someone has made these bars and they haven't hardened up :/
Why you didn’t use SCI? And what’s the difference between SCI and SLSA? What type of coloring is best for this recipe?can I use geogard or germall plus instead?
Could I use coconut milk powder instead of the rice flour. Also could I try using vitamin e oil. Strawberry seed oil or Kukui (Candlenut) Nut Kernel Oil Organic. Is possible to combine two different oils
I followed your recipe minus coloring and fragrance. I ended up with a very dry crumbling product that I had difficulty putting into the molds. It was so hard, even though I pressed it into the mold it worked the shape of the silicone molds 😮
Is there any chance you used SLSa from Amazon, or used a different starch? That could throw off the wet/dry balance. Try incorporating a bit more water to get a workable dough :) Please read the free partner blog post for more info.
Hey Kevin! Aging + shelf life are covered in the free partner blog post ❤️ You'll also find an entire video about aging shampoo bars linked in the description box 😄 Happy making!
Ugh. Another question...sorry. Can I dub essential oils for fragrance oils? I'm trying to make an Okra and Rosemary bar. I have my reasons lol. Thank you so much
I love this simple formulation! But i do have a few questions. How do i add botanical herbs like hibiscus powder etc and other actives that can help with hair concerns like hair growth, dandruff etc ?
Hi! That ends up being an 'it depends' thing, depending on the particular ingredient, the format it takes, how much is required to be effective, etc. You'd generally be lowering the water, the rice flour, or the carrier oil to make room for it, but you may end up having to make other adjustments, and there are also considerations of compatibility. These two articles are a good place to start :) www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/how-can-i-incorporate-x-ingredient-into-a-formulation/ www.humblebeeandme.com/add-actives-to-lotions/
Thank you for your reply Marie ♥️! Appreciate it. Will surely look into the link you've given and will go with the try and error sessions 😅. But I do hope you may consider to make this an idea for your next video 🙈. But, personally your blogs and videos has helped me a lot on the journey of formulating 😊. Thank you!
Does the rice flour need to be 100% white rice powder? I have tried to find it at 2 grocery stores and all of them have white rice in them but also other ingredients like xantham gum, salt, ect
I think you should be able to, but it will be hard to get it as fine as the stuff you can buy, and that change in particle size can definitely throw off the wet/dry balance of the dough. Be sure to pass it through a fine sieve to ensure you're getting rid of any big bits and do your best to get it as silky and fine as cornstarch :)
So I'm a baby diy . Lol I purchased slsa on Amazon and I was afraid to open the jar, expecting a tornado of dust and didn't even get a poof! Lol upon research I found out there is something called COURSE slsa powder. I followed your recipe but tweaked the water to a smaller quantity and the end product was perfect. I used a moon cake press to form the bars. Not sure if they're going to dry hard or not but I was wondering if u have any info or preferences for the slsa. I hope they dry hard. Its my first try. Thank you for all of your videos. They gave me the courage to fail at first but keep going❤
Welcome to the wonderful world of DIY 😄 ❤️ Brilliant work on tweaking the water amount to suit your larger grain SLSa-that's exactly what you needed to do in that situation :) I hope the Amazon SLSa behaves and your bars harden up beautifully for you! I believe most of the people who've had poor results with Amazon SLSa purchased a fine grain one (one person sent me a link and I bought some to check), so hopefully yours is different from the stuff that definitely doesn't work 🤞🏻 I usually use fine grain SLSa as it's much more widely available, and its smaller size makes it dissolve more readily, which is nice when formulating products like foaming bath salts, but coarse grain will definitely work in shampoo bars :) Happy making!
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you for responding mama bee😊 I contacted the company and they said it's fine powder.....lol nope! It's been about 7 days and the bars are just now starting to get harder. I signed up for your free course today because I don't even know what I'm talking about hahaha. I still don't know if it was course slsa or fine, just know that I didn't need a mask and the bars would have been moosh if I didn't tweak the water content. They did make luxurious bubbles though. Thank you so much for following your passion and inspiring us. ❤
Hey! I link to all the ingredients I use directly in the free partner blog posts for formulations that use them, so that's where you should look first. If those links aren't applicable for your country, please check out my massive list of places to shop all over the world (humblebeeandme.com/resources). Happy making!
Hey Marie! I noticed in your blog post that you recommended we don’t substitute the rice flour I went to the store and they didn’t have rice flour so I grabbed coconut. Do you think with some modifications it will be okay to use the coconut flour?
Unfortunately no; coconut flour really isn't a flour. It's mostly protein and fat vs. mostly carby starchy stuff, and that will really mess with the formula :(
@@HumblebeeAndMe I did give it a try and your right. It did form but in the end just was really crumbly and grainy. The feeling in the hair wasn’t nice at all. The coconut flour did smell really good but since it’s strong scent it did take over the other added scent. It would definitely be nice in a face mask or a light exfoliating item
Hello Marie! I've learned so much from your website, videos, and book, thank you! I was wondering if it is OK for me to sell the things I create using your recipes at my Crafter's Market stand. Is there a trademark or copyright on this recipe, or others? Thanks!
Hello! If you do, I ask two things :) 1) As I freely share in the spirit of helping people like you learn how to make things, I ask that you credit me for the formulation on your packaging and website. If your potential customers want to make it for themselves-just like you did-they should be able to (they probably won't lol). 2) Please become a paying Patron. Since my business is helping your business exist + profit, please support my business ❤️ patreon.com/marierayma
Compared to your rice shampoo bar, is this one more clarifying or less clarifying? I have dryness prone textured hair, and want something clarifying while also gentle enough for weekly use.
Nice video. I’ve tried all types of shampoo bars and they never work with my hair texture. They dry out my hair even the ones that are meant for dry hair, also I have thinning hair.
Thank you for another great video! I’m so curious how this will work. I will have to find some rice flour. I make solid shampoo bars that you have to melt, etc..This way would be way faster. I do have loyal customers (which is awesome)to what I make, but I would love to test these. Thank you.
I've made melty shampoo bars before, but have fully converted to more doughy ones-the melty ones are so sticky that I just about have a fit working with 'em LOL. I look forward to hearing what you think of this approach!
@@HumblebeeAndMe Yes, they are very sticky. I have to leave them alone for a few minutes and then they come together without all the stickiness, but then I feel I have to move fast. Maybe I can add panthenol to this method of yours. I can’t see where you could go wrong! I’ll make it a mission to find rice flour today. I’m in Chicagoland, so I’m thinking it should not be too difficult. Thank you!

I think you should be able to, but it will be hard to get it as fine as the stuff you can buy, and that change in particle size can definitely throw off the wet/dry balance of the dough. Be sure to pass it through a fine sieve to ensure you're getting rid of any big bits and do your best to get it as silky and fine as cornstarch :)
@HumblebeeAndMe thank you so much for your quick response. I will try 😊
Hi how u!! Great formulation must say ..but can we use goat milk soap base instead of sls ..plz reply
No, you definitely cannot. Also, this isn't SLS! Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa) is very different from SLS. Thanks for watching!
So I'm a baby diy . Lol I purchased slsa on Amazon and I was afraid to open the jar, expecting a tornado of dust and didn't even get a poof! Lol upon research I found out there is something called COURSE slsa powder. I followed your recipe but tweaked the water to a smaller quantity and the end product was perfect. I used a moon cake press to form the bars. Not sure if they're going to dry hard or not but I was wondering if u have any info or preferences for the slsa. I hope they dry hard. Its my first try. Thank you for all of your videos. They gave me the courage to fail at first but keep going❤
Welcome to the wonderful world of DIY 😄 ❤️ Brilliant work on tweaking the water amount to suit your larger grain SLSa-that's exactly what you needed to do in that situation :) I hope the Amazon SLSa behaves and your bars harden up beautifully for you! I believe most of the people who've had poor results with Amazon SLSa purchased a fine grain one (one person sent me a link and I bought some to check), so hopefully yours is different from the stuff that definitely doesn't work 🤞🏻
I usually use fine grain SLSa as it's much more widely available, and its smaller size makes it dissolve more readily, which is nice when formulating products like foaming bath salts, but coarse grain will definitely work in shampoo bars :)
Happy making!
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you for responding mama bee😊 I contacted the company and they said it's fine powder.....lol nope! It's been about 7 days and the bars are just now starting to get harder. I signed up for your free course today because I don't even know what I'm talking about hahaha. I still don't know if it was course slsa or fine, just know that I didn't need a mask and the bars would have been moosh if I didn't tweak the water content. They did make luxurious bubbles though. Thank you so much for following your passion and inspiring us. ❤
Can u plz plz make video on how to make flaxseed shampoo bar..
When can we use this bar instantly or after 3/4 weeks????
Can I get the website to all the ingredients that you listed to make this shampoo
Hey! I link to all the ingredients I use directly in the free partner blog posts for formulations that use them, so that's where you should look first. If those links aren't applicable for your country, please check out my massive list of places to shop all over the world (humblebeeandme.com/resources).
Happy making!
I love the background
Yo te admiro y me gusta como trabajas y como explicas muchas gracias , pero en este caso no hago productos solidos
Do I need to add preservative to make the soap last longer?
This formulation includes a preservative for exactly that reason :)
Quick question. Can you use silicone molds or does it have to be the vacuum mold like the kind you used in the video
Hey Marie! I noticed in your blog post that you recommended we don’t substitute the rice flour
I went to the store and they didn’t have rice flour so I grabbed coconut. Do you think with some modifications it will be okay to use the coconut flour?
Unfortunately no; coconut flour really isn't a flour. It's mostly protein and fat vs. mostly carby starchy stuff, and that will really mess with the formula :(
@@HumblebeeAndMe I did give it a try and your right. It did form but in the end just was really crumbly and grainy. The feeling in the hair wasn’t nice at all. The coconut flour did smell really good but since it’s strong scent it did take over the other added scent. It would definitely be nice in a face mask or a light exfoliating item
If I have a dry preservative instead of the wet, what do I do? Add more water?
Hello Marie! I've learned so much from your website, videos, and book, thank you! I was wondering if it is OK for me to sell the things I create using your recipes at my Crafter's Market stand. Is there a trademark or copyright on this recipe, or others? Thanks!
Hello! If you do, I ask two things :)
1) As I freely share in the spirit of helping people like you learn how to make things, I ask that you credit me for the formulation on your packaging and website. If your potential customers want to make it for themselves-just like you did-they should be able to (they probably won't lol).
2) Please become a paying Patron. Since my business is helping your business exist + profit, please support my business ❤️

Could you replace rice flour with arrowroot?
If I don’t want to use the rice powder, can I replace it with something else
Is all these ingredients non-hazardous?
Is it possible if we replace the sls with other ingredient that way more safe?
Compared to your rice shampoo bar, is this one more clarifying or less clarifying? I have dryness prone textured hair, and want something clarifying while also gentle enough for weekly use.
I am allergic to coconut. What can be used instead of coconut?
Nice video. I’ve tried all types of shampoo bars and they never work with my hair texture. They dry out my hair even the ones that are meant for dry hair, also I have thinning hair.
Color safe?
Where can I find the plastic mold and the respirator? The SLSA
We want you to make aloe vera water at home, please
Boy oh…BOY!
Seriously, you are amazing

Thank you for another great video! I’m so curious how this will work. I will have to find some rice flour. I make solid shampoo bars that you have to melt, etc..This way would be way faster. I do have loyal customers (which is awesome)to what I make, but I would love to test these. Thank you.
I've made melty shampoo bars before, but have fully converted to more doughy ones-the melty ones are so sticky that I just about have a fit working with 'em LOL. I look forward to hearing what you think of this approach!
@@HumblebeeAndMe Yes, they are very sticky. I have to leave them alone for a few minutes and then they come together without all the stickiness, but then I feel I have to move fast. Maybe I can add panthenol to this method of yours. I can’t see where you could go wrong! I’ll make it a mission to find rice flour today. I’m in Chicagoland, so I’m thinking it should not be too difficult. Thank you!
@@HumblebeeAndMe Quick question. I have brown rice flour. Could I use that?
I don’t recommend it. It will probably throw off the wet/dry balance and could also be gritty from the bran.
Thank you for this video. Would jojoba oil work as the replacement oil?
Yes, absolutely
What is proper Active Surfactant Matter for a shampoo bar? Any input is appreciated. Thanks
