I love these kinds of videos. I have made soap since late 2020 and have whittled it down to 4 soap recipes. Since the cost of coconut oil and palm went up so much, I add 15% lard to my body soap. In my unhumble opinion, I think it made the soap better.
New to soap making. I must say this video is very informative. I love how you tested each bar. I made my first bar a few weeks back it was a goat's milk bar. It was such a amazing bar. SoapCal is awesome. It's such a great tool to use. I realized this once I got over the intimidation and learned how to use it, lol.
I get so excited when I end up with a full bar or just a regular sized something I make. LOL. My bathroom is like a haven for girly girls and I don't use half of it.
Usually I don’t get soda ash and I am a low temperature soaper but I always use 50/50 lye/ liquid. If you do a water discount you don’t get soda ash. The only time I get soda ash is with my activated charcoal soaps. Also I use corn silk instead. It’s vegan and cheap ( free for me) and has the same effect
Soap and Clay on UA-cam is a GREAT place for all the soap and body stuff!
thanks for sharing!
I so needed your energy this evening!! Stay happy n keep soaping. Fellow soaper and follower.
Thank you! You too!

i only use 3 oils and then use my elvish butter for my HP ( hot prosses). if people don't like palm oil they can use 15% soy wax 415.
Hi Daniel! Thanks for your comment. Yikes! I don't know that I would use that in a soap. I don't believe it is approved for skin use.
@@earthglow soy wax 415 is safe for soaps, lip balms and more
@@danielbolger25 I believe Brambleberry has skin safe soy wax
@@cliviascreations any candle suppliers that have soy wax 415 it is skin safe
Great video! Try a all coconut soap😊
That might be a little too cleansing for me!! ha ha ha!! I'd probably superfat it at 20% or so.
@@earthglow yes! Superfat at 20% and it’s a great bar!
G R A T I D A O por ser contribuição conosco amei essa experiência ❤🇧🇷👋
Are you going to be selling your soaps? I googled Earthglow and was able to locate your candles, but not your bath and body products.
Hi! I currently sell them in May via livestream on Instagram but in the future I hope to have the listed on the website. Thanks so much!!
Tip to stop soda ash add Beeswax or soy wax to your soap recipe.
Hi Daniel! Soda ash is usually created from soaping at a low temp and pouring at a very thin trace.
@@earthglow adding beeswax or soy wax reduces the change of getting soda ash. even when your soaping at a low temp.
