Well done Keeley. Like you, I have been looking at making this type of soap for ages.... but the research and seeing how many others had troubles, really put me off. So thank you for being brave and proving that is can be done without all the hassles. Soap turned out lovely, well done. 🎇🎇💖💖
I am so glad you decide to make pine tar. It’s one of my best seller and my daughters favorite soap for her face. I make a comment long ago on another channel about never having problems with my pine tar or 100%tallow soaps and the comment were nasty referring to me like “ which the exception of that person that said she never has problems. Anyhow , for me is keeping the temperature very low and adding the pine tar to the oils like you did and mixing it very well. I use it at 18% on my recipe and 50/50 lye to AloeVera ratio. Love the swirls! Thank you for sharing
It's a lovely bar of soap and has become a great seller. It's definitely working out what works best for you when soaping as it all revolves around oil choice, environment and much more. 🧡
Those are definitely benefits of pine tar and it has been used in skin care for centuries for its benefits. You just can't make claims once it's mixed with other ingredients 😉
My pine tar is pretty pasty and sticky, I think I will try the microwave to heat it up and then put it in the oils first before adding the lye solution, as you've done. I'd love to put swirls into this plain but beautiful soap!!! Thank you, Keeley.
Nice! I wish my pine tar sold better because I really li!e it and usually nab it. I do put swirls in it (I'm not partial to plain, one tone soap, either), but it doesn't sell well. But I am happy to try the recipe and I will make a one pound batch for me. Cheers 👍😊
Even though you can't get the same brand, I know Pine Tar is available in the US. I was inspired to try this style of soap after seeing many US soapmakers make it. 🧡
@@rossydv The pine tar is still such a strong colour that I think it was affect any colour. You can see the TD goes a light brown colour. This is going to affect other colours too. You can always try it and see what results you get.
@@SoyandSheaI may try this today, except not use TD. I may prorate the lye mixture so I can use a portion WITHOUT PT but WITH colour. The challenge will be timing due to PT accelerating trace!

You may not be able to say but pine tar works great on horses hoofs to help moisturise them and i to love the smell
Those are definitely benefits of pine tar and it has been used in skin care for centuries for its benefits. You just can't make claims once it's mixed with other ingredients 😉
Love it.
I’ve just tried my first two batches of soap. Still remarkably green but looking forward to attempting a pine tar.
Have fun with it 🧡
You made that look sooooo easy! I can’t wait to try and make some.
Let me know how you go 🧡
Looks great!!! Thanks for sharing...Blessings!!!
Thank you for watching 🧡

This was so satisfying to watch, and it went sooo smoothly, well done, Keeley! I wish we could have smelly-vision, it looks so good👏🤗
Thank you 🧡 I was stunned the first time just how smoothly it went
I love the smell of pine tar ... and your lovely swirl 😁
i never smelled pine tar before but if it’s got tea tree oil then it must smell super nice i have to agree the swirls are amazing in this one
Something we both like 😆 it's such a unique smell and I find it so calming.

I must admit I was surprised at how popular this soap is 🧡 usually this type of soap takes a while for me to sell.
Good job! Unfortunately here in The USA we can’t get that specific pine tar as it’s not available. Thanks for sharing

This was a really interesting soap. I am allergic to pine so I wouldn't ba able t use it but this is cool.
That is such a shame. I love Pine Tar soap as it reminds me of the Coal Tar soap we had when I was a kid 🧡
@@SoyandShea what is coal tar soap?
@DawnShipley1977 it's a soap commonly found in the UK that was made from coal tar. Both coal and pine tar are made with similar processes
4:41 next stop, titanium dioxide!! Could you then have more fun and add another color? Ie neon blue? Yellow? Green?
4:51 fragrance or essential oil?
You could try other colours but the Pine Tar is a strong colour and would override them. I used an essential oil blend.
@@SoyandSheaI mean after adding the titanium oxide, can a color be added?
@@rossydv The pine tar is still such a strong colour that I think it was affect any colour. You can see the TD goes a light brown colour. This is going to affect other colours too. You can always try it and see what results you get.

Would you share your pine tar % ? I use 13% and it does move fast!
To be fair to those that have joined Patreon to get the recipe, I can't reveal the % I've used but it is a little less than you have used 🧡
9:14 What’s a cure rack?
8:53 I see an ultrasound.
A cure rack is a shelving system to put soaps on to allow them to cure.
@@SoyandShea I meant why is it different from placing them anywhere?
Looks like wood grain.
I really must try that technique one day 🧡
