That was very interesting. Thank you for the math breakdown and how to make the rice milk. Thank you for this video. I seriously learned a lot. Keep up the great videos!
Honestly, rice powder has no effect on skin especially in a soap form, and it doesn’t lather up the soap in my experience. I’m a soap maker in Japan and rice is our national crop. For thousands of years, our ancestors especially nobles used rice bran powder (must be organic as bran is notorious for accumulated pesticides). And not for soap obviously but as a mask and scrub. This was because they didn’t have better ingredients thousands of years ago. Nowadays if you want rice in the beauty routine you should be using rice bran oil (with super vitamin E and plenty of plant sterols, which is scientifically proven to have health benefits both in consuming and for skin) in soap or Kojic powder in cream or rice extract in serums etc. That refined rice powder is just cooked rice which is powdered. It does nothing to the skin nor increase bubbles IMHO. We use RBO in soap and you can make body balm using RBO as well as other skin care products if you want to incorporate vitamin E and plant sterol benefits and unsaponifiables. I’ve seen some false claims from developing Asian countries mistakingly think rice powder does something to the soap but this is not true. Many of those countries actually consume endangered animals even to this day based on superstition and similarly there is no scientific evidence that refined rice powder soap or rice milk soap does anything to skin. Putting silk does actually do something in terms of texture and for leave on products like peptides but not refined rice powder or milk. Just put refined sugar there if you’re going to use refined white rice powder, you would get bubblier better quality soap.
Well, I've used ricemilk (from cooked rice) and RBO in my soap and they turned out absolutely lovely, with great bubbles and with perfect slip and a great feel on my skin!! No silk added and yet it performs and feels better than my soaps with silk. I'm currently using a bar, almost 3 yrs after the making and am seriously considering making a new batch just because how great it is.
I did a couple soaps with flaxseed “milk” and flaxseed that I had ground in a coffee grinder. The ground flaxseed gives a little exfoliation to the bar since it wasn’t ground as small as a flour would be.
Hmmmmm! What a great idea! Think of all that mucilage, did it make the soap bar more slippery? I’m gonna try it myself, thank you. I love the flaxseed, so good for us in many ways, for the gut, the colon, the skin, the brain, improving our essential fatty acid profile as well. ☀️✨
Perfect! I've made a rice soap a year ago and it was fun, but I forgot to write down the steps. This video came at a good time, and will attempt to try it next week. Thanks for the great video and information. Have a lovely day!
Loving all these variations Lisa. It’s brilliant, you’re answering questions I have in my head and haven’t even asked yet. Looking forward to tomorrow’s shop update too. I want to add a few last bits to my basket!
I used rice milk several times with my activated charcoal and rose clay soap. I never know if it makes a better soap or not but it’s fun to add it in hoping it does.
Ooh that sounds nice, I think it does add something in the feel of the soap, but like you I'm always a little sceptical about the many claims people make with things like this
Definitely going to try this recipe. What if instead of rice powder (or flour) you just "rough blend" up some dry rice? Would that give the desired effect? Would that cause you to have to change up the recipe? I've been wanting to make a fermented rice water shampoo bar so this would be a good start to practice developing a good recipe. 💙💙
I've never done it, so I can only give an educated guess. If you use dry rice then you would not need to discount your water, make up your lye solution as normal. I would then add the ground rice to the oils as I did with the rice flour. A couple of things that spring to mind to watch, so maybe do a small tester 1st. If you don't get the rice ground up very small, it may be sharp and scratchy, rather than just exfoliating, but you can test this by grinding and then rubbing between your fingers. Also id there are larger parts I'm not sure if it would attract moisture and then mould as the bar gets wet, as those parts may absorb water. I have no clue if this would happen, but just a thought
That was so interesting, Lisa! Thank you very much ☺️. I actually didn't know how to make rice milk, and you always explain things so clearly. And now I know not to bother with the rice flour, but I think I will try a batch with rice milk (just the thing for panda soap!). Your soap came out beautifully -- so white and smooth!💗
Hello I am also a soap maker and enjoyed your video. Very informative. Did your soap stay that beautiful white color after curing time? I'd love to incorporate this into my line. Thank you for the video
Rice milk imparts a whitening effect to the skin It leaves a gentle glow on your face It helps to even your skin tone when used regularly It helps lighten scars and other dark spots on your face It makes for a good skin moisturizing agent. It seals your skin with good moisture and helps eliminate excess oil secretion Rice milk cures dark lips, if you use it regularly It soothes your skin from sun burns
Hello Maam Im teying to make this after watching this video but ask another favor How much essential pil do I used ? Is lye water used for food can be used ? Thank you for the ans. in advance
Hi, I only use a maximum of 3% essential oil, that's 3% compared to the amount of oils used in the recipe, not the total recipe. Also you need to be careful and check the usage rates of essential oils, some are not safe to be used at that rate, so you need to understand the essential oils you are using. For lye you should use sodium hydroxide that's at least 99% pure
When you don’t use your alternative liquid to make your lye solution, you can just incorporate it into the oils or add it after your batter has reached emulsion.
Hi Tania, no, if you leave enough water to make your lye you then add the alternative solution to the oils, it saves any problems with milk scorching or getting funny little spots.
@@IDreamInSoap I made a lovely loaf yesterday and cut it this morning. Am so very pleased with how it came out.I used one of my recipes that I use for my son’s product line and adjusted the amount based on your excellent instructions. Thank you!
What are the benefits to using rice milk soap? To me it seems like just a filler or a fad type of soap. Thank you for the lesson!! I learned soooo much!!
Well, apparently it had a whole host of benefits, I'm not sure how many are actually 'real' as lot's of things get quoted about additions to soap. I tend not to go through supposed benefits as no-one is allowed to make claims on what their soap can do unless they have had it scientifically tested. But a lot of the things claimed about rice milk soap are: It can help give whitening effect to the skin It leaves a gentle glow on your face It helps to even your skin tone when used regularly It helps lighten scars and other dark spots on your face It makes for a good skin moisturizing agent. It seals your skin with good moisture and helps eliminate excess oil secretion Rice milk cures dark lips, if you use it regularly It soothes your skin from sun burns
I am Japanese and live in Japan where rice is our national crop and rice farmers are protected by the government and we do use rice in soaps too but not this kind of rice. In order to get benefits for skin, you need to be using rice bran oil (unrefined) and brown rice powder if you want, not white rice. White rice does nothing to the skin as ALL of the nutrients are removed and there isn’t much except simple starch. You might as well add white table sugar if it’s just for sugar as there’s nothing left from the goodness of rice by using white rice or rice powder (which is used in confectionary in Japan and has no nutrients whatsoever other than starch). Our ancestors, especially those nobles who were wealthy used whole rice powder in their beautify routine and rice bran powder to exfoliate their skin and and that rice bran powder has LOTS of nutrients, that’s what rice bran oil is made from. It has so much vitamin E and longevity plant sterols that the Japanese government puts official stamp meaning “vitamin E fortifying oil”, so the rice bran powder is what you should use. And honestly, for soap, nothing would happen even if you use rice bran powder. If you want nice skin by using rice, you need to be making a mask with rice bran powder (not refined white rice powder) and leave it on skin for 20 min. Then scrub using the mask gently. We have traditional pouch (cotton bag) filled with rice bran powder and you soak the pouch for 5-10 min and we scrub our body with it with the cotton bag. That’s traditional Japanese beauty routine, not many people are into those but that’s what nobles used and some people still use that. And you need to be using organic rice bran powder as pesticides are accumulated in the rice bran part. Otherwise you would be slathering concentrated pesticides laden rice bran powder on your face and your body. But soap has no effect even if you use rice powder.

@@IDreamInSoap hi Lisa, is there a concern that because of the rice in the water, the water discount would be higher ( ie you could end up with a lye heavy soap)?
I think its about the receipe not about the milk rice or powder rice.Yhe soap does not mske so nice bubbles so I suppose its more conditioning in the soap calc than bubble or creamy.If it was a nice receipe with bubbles and creamy on 25 it was very nice Otherwise,your receipe its not good.Thumbs down.
You’re not missing out on anything by incorporating rice milk or rice powder in soap. I am Japanese soap maker living in Japan and this is nothing but superstition that refined rice does something to soap. Refined rice has nothing but starch and not a good starch. Put table sugar and you would have bubblier soap. Soap containing rice bran oil is nice or making mask or scrub with organic rice bran powder but putting rice milk does nothing. It’s superstition I have seen people from developing Asian countries say these things which aren’t scientifically proven.
