I'm a lavender grower and in the middle of product testing; your video was very helpful. I will be doing a side-by-side testing of your whipped base versus a pre-packaged option. BTW I will be using jojoba oil as opposed to rice bran oil -- it's an oil that I really enjoy working with. (My testing will also be "soap" and "scrub" option -- )
I went to your website butbi can trind where ro download yoir recipes. I see you opened yoir shop this year!! So exciting 🎉 i wish you the very best!!!
Yay! Thank you SO much! Here are all the formulas: www.thefluffybubble.com/formulas More coming soon, including more freebies & ways to work with this base formula!
Hi! & thank you!! 🩷 Are you referring to Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA)? Either way, yes Sodium cocoyl isethionate (SCI) is a different ingredient. SCI is derived from coconut and very mild with a soft skin feel while still being very bubbly. I hope this helps!
I live in a very cold, snowy climate. Can I make this outside on my porch, as I'm concerned about cooking this inside my home with the vapors, etc. I dont want to breathe it in. Does anyone have any suggestions. I really want to make this on a regular basis.
Ola sou do Brasil e consegui comprar sua formula. Posso substituir o óleo de farelo de arroz por algum outro? Espero sua resposta para por em pratica essa maravilha. Obrigada
Oi! E obrigado pela sua compra! Sim, você pode substituir o óleo de farelo de arroz por qualquer óleo que desejar. Você também pode substituir qualquer uma das manteigas ou óleos da fórmula! - Usei um tradutor para digitar isso. Então espero que faça sentido. Muito obrigado!
Hi & thank you! Yes you can! It'll be a shaving "soap" cream because it does have a high concentration of surfactants. But it's super thick and creamy! You can add additional glycerin if you want to play with the consistency a bit and give it even more slip for shaving.
Yes, you will see number 5 in the formula ingredients in the description box here and in the formula packet I've listed face masks and a respirator. You do need to wear a face mask or respirator while handling SCI powder. I forgot to mention it in the video, but I wear a face mask and handle SCI powder delicately so it doesn't fly everywhere. You can alternatively use SCI noodles which do not require a mask because it won't disperse into the air. However, the noodles will take linger to melt during heating. Thanks for your question! 🫧
It's extremely bubbly and has a wonderful lather. Especially with a loofah or shower puff! I haven't had any issues with deflation during hot or cold months. It's very thick and more dense. It's not as airy as many whipped soaps so it's very stable.
Hi! I appreciate you asking questions, thank you! I don't refrigerate it. I just leave it at room temperature to cool. I typically wait about 3-4 days to use it for whipped soap, because it does soften a bit over time making it easier to whip.
Thank you! Yes you can get any of our formulas right here: www.thefluffybubble.com/formulas This Bubble Base Formula is the first one when you click that link.
It shouldn't throw anything off. But I always make a smaller (200 g - 300 g) batch to test anything new out. I recommend replacing some of the water in the formula with aloe juice to see how that works. Thanks for watching! 🫧🩷
Yes! This formula is a "blank canvas" type of formula. You can definitely use it as-is. But you can also had a decent amount of additional glycerin, oils, butters and other additives. The formula includes 1% preservative. So when adding water-based additives especially, make sure you add additional preservative at 1% of what you're adding to keep your final product at 1% preserved. For example: If you add 30 g hydrosol also add 0.3 g additional Optiphen (or your preferred preservative).
Thank you so much for this demonstration and and I made sure to purchase the recipe on your website. My only question is, how do I know the expiry date of this base? Thanks again. (new subie)
Thank you so much! I made the first batch of this specific formula in 2020 before I even thought of selling products, and I still have a jar of it. It still looks how it did the day I made it and smells great. That being said, I haven't gotten microbial testing so I always recommend using it within 6 months & I make it to order for The Fluffy Bubble. However, there's pretty much no chance it will actually expire in that timeframe. Your best bet to be the most certain, without official testing, is to go by the expiration dates of your raw ingredients. Suppliers list the expiration date of the ingredients on the packaging. As long as your final product is properly preserved with an effective preservative, your product should at least be good through the raw ingredients' soonest expiration date. I hope that helped! Thanks for subbing and for your question! 🩵🩵
@@TheFluffyBubble Awesome! This was very helpful! Loved your recent video on how to make your body cream. I hope to try that next but I will be attempting first the soap base this weekend. Excited! ^_^
It depends on the batch size. Melting time can vary because SCI takes a little while to melt, so when there's a lot it takes longer. I'd definitely check on it after an hour, give it a stir and if it's not melted check on it every 15 minutes or so. You want it to be totally melted which means no grit in the texture. With your gloves, you can carefully rub some between your fingers to feel. @@noryscorner
Is this like traditional whipped soap base ? I like to purchase this formula 🌼🌼🌼 But have a question ❓ if I use less stearic acid to make the texture less harder? Is this okay?
Yes, definitely! I've made it both ways. I just personally prefer not babysitting the double boiler since SCI powder takes a little while to fully melt.
That's totally up to you! I'd start out adding an additional 10% or so and seeing how that goes. The formula has a high concentration of surfactants, so you should be able to add a decent amount of extra oils and butters. With the additional butters/oils you'll have to decrease in other areas. So keep that in mind when thinking about how you want your final soap base to perform. Too much could begin to impact how much it lathers, the skin feel, and cleansing performance. So, it really depends on what your goals are for your final product.
@@TheFluffyBubble Also, I noticed your whipped soaps on your website also contain 2 more surfactants? Would you recommend this? Does it visibly improve the product? 🥹
It's really up to you depending on what you're trying to achieve. I'd probably start with taking some from the surfactants. But, I prefer the formula as-is. So, any changes are really to your preference and you'll have to experiment to figure out what you like.
Hi! It's cheaper (but not necessarily cheap) for me to make what I actually like and what to use on my skin and sell. I don't like any bases I've tried so it's definitely more expensive if I buy it and dont use it. 😄 So it's not all about the $, but also about the quality and the ingredients that I'd prefer use (and not use) on my skin. This formula creates a more moisturizing and better cleansing experience than I've had with any store bought bases I've tried. Also, SCI does get cheaper when purchased in bulk. The site links I use are in the formula download. I always keep an eye out for supplier coupons and deals too. Every little bit helps. Thanks so much for watching!!
No it doesn't. It stays soft as long as you keep it in an airtight container. For scrubs, I usually add at least 7% more oils to the mix which makes it softer as well.
I tried this today and this base is amazing!!!! My hands weren’t dry after use. I made a sugar scrub. I’m about to try the shower and report back 😂 🎉 #happycamper
Hi! This is a whipped soap base formula. There is no fragrance oil added. You'd add the fragrance oil to the whipped soap (or other product) that you make using this soap base as an ingredient. For an example, check out our Blueberry Lemonade whipped soap recipe tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/7ks_9O0-n9U/v-deo.html Use the code in the description box to get the formula printout free!
Thank you!! And yes 😄. Kind of a long explanation below (sorry!😆). I started out making whipped soaps with formulas that had a lot of glycerin and water in the base formula. While I liked them ok. I didn't like the stickiness (glycerin) or how super fluffy it would get, because I couldn't get a lot into the jar since it was so airy and it would sometimes easily deflate. So, after a lot of experimenting I realized that additional glycerin and water can be added AFTER the base is made as long as I also add the appropriate additional preservative. Having that flexibility with a base formula can help you create the right amount airiness and the right texture for your final product, without needing to make a whole new base batch every time or trying to figure out how to change the base formula right away. You can just add more in your final whipped soap, foaming scrub, shaving soap formulas/recipes. -- Hope that helped! - Dominique
I was able to make this and it came out bomb. Light fluffy. Thanks so much
Nice! Thank you!

Can this base be used to make shaving cream? I love your video on this and the info you gave
Hi & thank you!
Yes you can! It'll be a shaving "soap" cream because it does have a high concentration of surfactants. But it's super thick and creamy! You can add additional glycerin if you want to play with the consistency a bit and give it even more slip for shaving.
I have recently bought 2 formulas include this video and pumpkin scrubs, so do i have to wear poison resistant mask when i use SCI?
Yes, you will see number 5 in the formula ingredients in the description box here and in the formula packet I've listed face masks and a respirator. You do need to wear a face mask or respirator while handling SCI powder. I forgot to mention it in the video, but I wear a face mask and handle SCI powder delicately so it doesn't fly everywhere.

Do you wear a certain mask while working with sci powder
This looks like perfection! How long will this last ?
I always suggest using it within 6 months or so. But it should last at least 3 years.
This looks amazing! Is it super bubbly in the shower and does the fluff deflate if shipping in warm weather? Thanks
It's extremely bubbly and has a wonderful lather. Especially with a loofah or shower puff! I haven't had any issues with deflation during hot or cold months. It's very thick and more dense. It's not as airy as many whipped soaps so it's very stable.
@@TheFluffyBubble Thank you! I purchased the formula and will try it today 🙂
Sorry last question do you put it in the fridge for the 24 hours? I love this texture. I purchased 😊
Hi! I appreciate you asking questions, thank you! I don't refrigerate it. I just leave it at room temperature to cool. I typically wait about 3-4 days to use it for whipped soap, because it does soften a bit over time making it easier to whip.
Hey can i use olive oil instead of rice bran oil? If not, can you please suggest some substitutes for rice bran oil?
Hi! Yes. You can replace any of the plant oils or butters with a plant oil or butter of your choice.
hey wow, love the texture of the formula. i would like to purchase this formula please. could u help. Im from India...
Thank you! Yes you can get any of our formulas right here: www.thefluffybubble.com/formulas This Bubble Base Formula is the first one when you click that link.
Does this separate overtime? Do you need an emulsifier since there’s water and oil?
Hi! No, it doesn't separate over time. Adding an emulsifier will make it like lotion. (Based on my experiments).
Can you use aloe juice as well with the water or will that throw the formulation off I want to try and make my own recipe😅
It shouldn't throw anything off. But I always make a smaller (200 g - 300 g) batch to test anything new out. I recommend replacing some of the water in the formula with aloe juice to see how that works. Thanks for watching! 🫧🩷
Can we add other oil and butters to this recipe?

Can i use alpha olefin sulfonate instead of sci?
No. Not instead of SCI. SCI is a solid not a liquid. Your soap won't have the same texture and wont be solid enough to whip.
can i use the double boiler method for this recipe?
Yes, absolutely!
@@TheFluffyBubble How long do I keep it on the double boiler? An hour?
It depends on the batch size. Melting time can vary because SCI takes a little while to melt, so when there's a lot it takes longer. I'd definitely check on it after an hour, give it a stir and if it's not melted check on it every 15 minutes or so. You want it to be totally melted which means no grit in the texture.

Yes
Can I whip it in my big mixer with the whip attachment? I don’t have a hand mixer wit just 1 attachment
Yes! Using a stand mixer works great too!
Can this be done using the double boiler method instead of crockpot?
Yes, definitely! I've made it both ways. I just personally prefer not babysitting the double boiler since SCI powder takes a little while to fully melt.
Thank you answering my questions and so fast! Ordering the SCI I’m excited to try this! I may order later premade to cut time. 🥰
You've got this! (& I'd be happy to make it for you too if you ever order it pre-made!) Thanks so much. Have a great day!
I want to add some more butters & oils, how much would you recommend to add? Like a maximum?
That's totally up to you! I'd start out adding an additional 10% or so and seeing how that goes. The formula has a high concentration of surfactants, so you should be able to add a decent amount of extra oils and butters.
With the additional butters/oils you'll have to decrease in other areas. So keep that in mind when thinking about how you want your final soap base to perform. Too much could begin to impact how much it lathers, the skin feel, and cleansing performance. So, it really depends on what your goals are for your final product.
@@TheFluffyBubble thanks so much! Is there anywhere you’d recommend removing the extra 10% from? Perhaps the water phase? Or a bit from everywhere? 😅

Do you find it’s cheaper to make your base or buy the pre made base? The Sci powder is pretty expensive.

Does it get hard once u make a scrub with it? That the problem I was having with past scrubs

I purchased this formula and i love it! I did add a bit more glycerin and oils. Is there a reason why you prefer less glycerin? I'm curious 😆
