I use cold process shampoo bars all the time, and I definitely want to give this recipe a try. For the hard water in my area, I am going to add some chelators, and since I love scents, I'll add some essential oils too, my favorite being lavender, tea tree, and a tiny bit of mint. 😀
I'm obsessed with lavender and rosemary these days! So much.... that Ive planted them this summer in the yard. I think Im entering my old lady era ......
@@_Diana_S hahaha! Do you remember the rose from Crabtree and Evelyn? My grandmother used to send me their rose toiletries. You’re so right!!! Hahahahs!
@_Diana_S Yes a vinegar rinse is a very well known old technique..... The water would probably rinse any acid away from the vinegar and leave you around 7 again. What eve touches you last will be your ph.... its usually water.
@@ThermalMermaid Thanks a lot! I made it today, and it was the first time when i was using my blender for more than 5 min, and the soap was still liquid . Usually i suffer from the opposite problem ). I decided that it has at least emulsified, (not sure if to went to trace,) and poured it into a mold. Will keep it there for a week, just in case. Can't wait to use it. Thanks again!

Great idea ,but things made with lye can't be used right away .we need to wait 6 weeks to cure?

Thank you for all your lovely tips..... Just curious about PH and it's affects. As now it's like only use PH 5-6
Ph 5-6 is more acid. A typical bar of soap will be 7 with a leaning toward 8-9…. Are you saying you want 5-6?
My grandmothers and even some aunts were rinsing their hair with a quart of warm water with a spoon of vinegar in it. Maybe, this is what you can try?

@@ThermalMermaidwhen the coconut soap strips the skin then why not use coconut oil afterwards instead of lotion..?
I will definitely try to make this bar, thanks for sharing! How long do you need to cure this bar?
Two weeks are you’re good…. Four weeks is better.
