Love love love your videos, so informative and what a great teacher you are. Thank you for all that you share with us. Your such a joy to watch and learn from. 🌺
oh tanya, you create the 'soap making' process so comfortably and i really want to get started...but, i'm such a chicken...ha ha ha...thank you for another wonderful video...the backyard patio looks sweet...have a wonderful week...
Love how knowledgeable you are will the chemistry and soap making, please please please make a video of soap with anti bacterial purpose but still smell nice, given the current situation. Thanks
Happy to watch you making soap with carrots......I make soaps with lots of additives, and I made carrot soap twice. It's really good for skin. I always search for videos of soap making to know more about additives. Mostly people name the soap as per the fragrance they use but no additives..... I enjoyed you video. Thank you. Regards, Yellow Rose Homemade Soaps.
Hi,.. Yes Rye flour has skin and hair benefits too. Magnesium present in rye grain is capable of detoxifying the epidermis and keeping the skin clean and clear. People suffering from allergies can take the help of rye. This grain is a good source of various minerals, including Calcium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. All these minerals play vital roles in easing the various signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes etc. The antioxidants of rye combat the free radicals. You can add cornmeal, Moringa, Oats, Rice bran and the list is endless. Thanks for the reply. 💕💕💕
I would like to know more about the additives or herbals you use in soaps from your place. Waiting for your soap making video with something new ingredient ☺☺🌼
First video of yours I've seen and I'm fascinated!! I'm making some soon. I always love gifts from others of soap and now I can make my own!! Thanks I'll be sure to check out the series on your website as well.
Great video! I made a lemongrass EO CP soap with carrot purée a couple weeks ago. I also did a swirl with red clay. The soaps came out ok however the batter got really thick so I had to plop it into the mold.
There are a lot of factors (swirling, water content, temp, essential oil) that can make soap head into heavy trace quickly. Keeping soap recipes simple, like this one, will help you as a beginner.
Lovely colour 💛 great video 👀 I only use herbs, essential oils and purées in my soaps. Castile is my favourite. So simple. This looks easy too - coconut & castor oils at a guess. 💗 Carrot juice in a bottle from shop would be handy too.
Hello Tanya... How long would you leave these to cure fter cutting... ? Thank you.... I always enjoy watching all your vidoes - gardening and soap making... I find you very informative to watch.... Thank you once again!!! ❤
Love your website/blog too. Just a question, does the puree or plant ingredient get harmed in anyway by adding it straight to the Lye? In an effort to retain some of its nutrients, could we add it later in the process? Just curious, thank you!!
Another lovely recipe from our lovely Tanya. I'll be making ton of batches for sure. Does increasing the amount of carrot puree alter the recipe. 2) Can I infuse Annetto seed in the oils? If so, what amount of seeds can I use? Thanks
Wonderful video thank . I do have a question would you still be able to use the soap if you didn't allow the temperature of the Lye and the water to be cool enough what happens and would you still be able to use the soap?
Another interesting and informative video, but I have to say that my eyes popped when I heard you say one of the ingredients was caustic soda! Blimey, this can be very dangerous stuff. I used to use it for cleaning my oily old Triumph motorbike and I always wore rubber gloves and goggles. BTW for many yeas I've grown my main crop carrots in a raised container. It's about five feet long, a foot across and a foot deep and is placed well above the flight path of the carrot fly. I use these carrots right through the winter. Now to try to make that soap...
Soap making is chemistry, albeit pretty safe chemistry. Caustic soda breaks oil molecules apart and combines with them to make soap. It’s its own compound. In the past people leached caustic soda from wood ashes but nowadays we use a safer type - and yes it’s the same stuff used to clean steel and clear pipes. Don’t worry though, handmade soap is cleansing and gentle and no longer contains caustic soda. All soap is made this way which is a real eye opener for people.
Thank you very much for sharing. What is the corect time for curing? 4 weeks or 6 weeks? Is there any experiment to make sure it is fully cured and safe to use?
Great video, have you used carrots for foot creme, my daughter gave some Burt's Bees to my mom yrs ago, mom said it was just Wonderful. Thanks for sharing the how do's. Always enjoy your videos.
Morning I make a batch of soap the first one was perfect the second batch I couldn't take it out of the mole it was so staff what do you think was the problem
Hi. Awesome recipe. I've been afraid of using lye because of its dangers. Can you explain how to clean up the utensils and equip? Is it necessary to use vinegar to neutralize the lye?
Hi Tanya, I loved all your videos so much that I have started my own cold soap making. I request you to send me recipes for oils such as Safflower oil, Sunflower oil, Ground nut oil, coconut oil and sesame oil since these are the oils readily available to me locally. I will be grateful to you if you can share some recipes for the above mentioned oils. Thanks, Vijay
Hi, if I wanted to use a mixture of coconut oil/lard and sunflower oil instead of olive oil do you think that would still work, if not, which soap calculator would you recommend for someone who needs the exact weights?
Do we need to immediately pack it once it has been hard enough during the curing process? Or we need to keep it unpacked in open place until curing period (4 weeks ) are completed ? @lovelygreens
Hi do you count the purée as part of the water weight? So if you're using 3 tbsp of purée do you deduct 3 tbsp from the water that you'll add to the lye? Thanks for the video. And please let me know. I really want to make this soap.
Hello, I loved this video and plan on making it my resource, as I am beginning to make soap. One question: What is the composition of May Cheng Oil and where can I get it. I live in Switzerland. Thank you so much and best regards, Marie-France
Yes refer to an Aussie soap maker who gives great free tutorials too Elly’s Everyday Soap Making on you tube. I learnt to make soap from her free tutorials she has a carrot and turmeric soap video
It’s most likely because the soap is lye-heavy. Double check that you’re using the correct ingredients. You should also measure every ingredient down to the gram - twice to make sure. It’s chemistry, not cooking, and has to be exact.
Oh My God!!! I can belive how many people ask you the same question, in your place i would be so mad. Doesn't anybody read the answers you provide so far?

Lovely Greens Thanks. I think it was most likely the temperature was a little too high.
For us soapmakers, May Chang is the same as Litsea cubeba.

What to use to make the soap soapy and hard
So lovely weldone 💟💟
You are an EXCELLENT instructor!! Very enjoyable. Would the carrots impart Vitamin A to the skin and be healing in some way?
As a beginner can I use SOap base instead coastic soda

Love it. Thank You 🙏🏾
Thank you very much for sharing. What is the corect time for curing? 4 weeks or 6 weeks? Is there any experiment to make sure it is fully cured and safe to use?

Hello you are amazing 🌹 i have questions what is discount water ? When and why we should do this to soap !?
It’s called distilled water
Thank you for sharing your recipe, is there another substitute we can use for lye? Something for sensitive skin without irritation?
All soap, even sensitive soap, is made with lye. You cannot make soap without it.
Thank you for this video. If I wanted to make a larger batch of this recipe . How do I increase the measurements? I’m new to soaping 🧼
Great video, have you used carrots for foot creme, my daughter gave some Burt's Bees to my mom yrs ago, mom said it was just Wonderful. Thanks for sharing the how do's. Always enjoy your videos.

I have an article on how to change and customize a soap recipe. I think that you'll find it useful: lovelygreens.com/change-customize-soap-recipe/
@@Lovelygreens thankyou, I'll check it out 🙂
Hello lovely!! Do you make a discount on the amount of water from the lye solution because of the carrot pouree?
I love yourvideo

Hello, love all your recipes, already done this one. I wonder if you have any recipe of mauve soap. thanks
Do we need to immediately pack it once it has been hard enough during the curing process? Or we need to keep it unpacked in open place until curing period (4 weeks ) are completed ? @lovelygreens
I dig it !
If I use alovera instade of carrots ..Than it is okaya
Hey great video! why do we need to boil the carrots? what is the way to get the brightest yellow possible?
Hi do you count the purée as part of the water weight? So if you're using 3 tbsp of purée do you deduct 3 tbsp from the water that you'll add to the lye? Thanks for the video. And please let me know. I really want to make this soap.
Just make the recipe as I show and you’ll be successful. Full recipe is via the link in the video description
Lovely Greens did you do a water discount? That's my question .
If it's used by a lightening person, will the person still maintain her color?
How many days we should have to leave this soap before we applying on our body
At least 28 days.
Thank you very much dear. I will try this recipe.

How I determine carrot purée for my soap
is it safe for the face??
Yes, perfectly safe :)
I just ordered your book from amazon! (Can't wait) I just wanted to ask, would I be able to add tumeric to this and lemongrass ess oil?
Yes refer to an Aussie soap maker who gives great free tutorials too Elly’s Everyday Soap Making on you tube. I learnt to make soap from her free tutorials she has a carrot and turmeric soap video
Tanya, do you use forget-me-nots in soap making?
Interesting idea!
What is the duration of curing?
Four weeks
where do you get the EO you used and could you give me the spelling thank you
I mainly order and use Naissance essential oils (UK brand)
When I make soap and use it .
it becomes tender, I don't know why, even though it has been left for more than a month to cure. Please help me

@@Lovelygreens thanks for your reply
Can I use Citric acid due to ash ?
I can't work out what your question is about. If it's about soda ash on the tops of bars, citric acid won't have any effect on that.
@@Lovelygreens I wanted to know is it safe to use on the skin Citric acid with lye in soap making
What is quality of ingredient
Can I just use carrot juice from my juicer?
Yes you may 🙂
