Hi @sueburns6988 this is what I bought but it doesn’t seem to be available at the moment amzn.asia/d/6uZJ380

They all behaved really well, except for Benzoin, that can accelerate trace. The funny thing was I had to replicate Australian Sandalwood without using Australian Sandalwood 😂 we eventually matched it with an EO blend, but it was quite a process. Certainly more cost effective then straight Sandalwood EO 😉

My favourite was the Alpine French Lavender. Our customer loved the straight French Lavender 🥰 the differences were subtle but I think the Alpine Lavender is a bit more mellow 🙂

Thanks so much for watching them Holly 🥰

😂😅 not exactly the direction we’d hoped for but you do the best you can with what you’ve got 😁

Hi @pepamassih1508 this is what I bought but it doesn’t seem to be available at the moment amzn.asia/d/6uZJ380

Thank you 🥰 I love your videos! They’re so calming and helpful ❤️

@@ivorycreekhandmade aw thank you ☺️ that's lovely to hear 💕

@coconutluxenaturals Hi Katherine 👋🏼 it’s so lovely to meet other Australian soap makers 🥰 thank you for the kind words. I purchased the kindle version so have to wait until next week hahaha I’m glad you’ve got your hands on the book and are enjoying it ❤️ I love your soaps! They’re gorgeous 😊

Hi @marisolvalez4719 you sure can 😊 I’ve used the base recipe for piping roses in the past.

@@ivorycreekhandmade I really like that your soap is all natural..I purchased my stick blender today and my scale so I'm going to see how it goes 😂... I tried making soap like three years ago and it came out so weird I ended up throwing it away ..So I'm giving it another go ..Thanks for sharing your knowledge on soap making the healthier version

@marisolvalez4719 that’s fantastic news (the giving it another go bit, not the all went to poop the first time bit 😁)! I hope it all goes well for you second time around 🥰

thank you 😊

@@ivorycreekhandmade You're welcome!

Hacemos lotes pequeños, así que solo 8 barras de este 🥰 Espero que el traductor de google no me haya desviado😁

Thanks 😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and for reaching out with help to improve 🥰🥰 I’ll definitely look into improving the audio.

Hi Tee Cee. The soap recipe or the colourants?

@@ivorycreekhandmade the soap recipe please

@teecee3143 sure 😊 38% Olive oil 30% Coconut oil 30% Sustainable palm oil (RSPO certified) 2% Castor oil 1 tablespoon of colloidal oatmeal 1 tablespoon of honey (dispersed in hot distilled water than let cook down before adding) Goat’s milk

Hi Jamie, yes that’s the good thing about soap…even ugly batches still get you clean 😂 The rebatched soap turned out lovely and had the bonus of floating so my little one loved it 😁

@@ivorycreekhandmade cool! 🥓 ☺️

Hello 👋🏼 380g olive oil 300g Coconut oil 300g RSPO certified sustainable palm oil 20g castor oil Water:Lye ratio 1.5:1 You’ll need to put the oils through a lye calculator to get the measurements for lye and water. Then I just split the batter off by eye. If you’re not familiar with the fragrance you’re using, put it in last and maybe consider upping the water:lye ratio to 1.8:1 to give yourself some extra time. Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks for clearing that up 😊 I did look at the ‘milk, bovine’ option in soap calc but wondered if goat’s milk fit that category. I also wondered if it was like pine tar, you pick it but it doesn’t actually change the lye amount. Now I know ❤️

@ivorycreekhandmade I wasn't interested in joining in the u tube tribe, but I was getting know where fast trying to reach out to people with high profiles. I did put up 2 examples, HOT process, to prove my point last week...money where my mouth is..a recipe is included, you also know what milk is actually adding, Laurie,myristic, etc not just a creamy lather...thank you for not dismissing me, also works with buttermilk...

@@JustNanJustSoap thank you for taking the time to watch my video and to share your experience with me 😊 it would be interesting to see the results of your recipe in a cold process soap 🤔 I think your method of adding the goats milk and the milk in oils method are the same, but you’re saying it should be added to the recipe as a saponifiable rather than an additive (essentially the methods the same but your method is accounting for and adjusting super fat, whereas the additive method doesn’t account for the extra super fat)…is that right? I wonder than if goat’s milk has a different SAP value to bovine milk? I think I read somewhere that cows milk has approx. 1.5% fat and goats milk has about 4% 🤷🏻‍♀️ no idea but definitely food for thought ☺️

Thank you ☺️

As the oils and lye solution mix together the chemical change starts to thicken the ‘batter’. You’ll often hear soap makers refer to ‘trace’ which is when you dribble the batter over itself and it leaves a trail. Some additives can speed this up e.g. fragrances, clays, alcohol, micas, etc. By far the most fast moving additive I’ve used is pine tar!!! It accelerates so much you can actually get away with just using a whisk instead of a stick blender 😁

That sounds like an awesome soap! Would love to hear how it turns out ❤️

Thanks so much, Susan 🥰 I’m happy to stand with you in the soap-on-a-stick club 😂 it certainly helps teach you how to pivot hahaha I now always have a plan ‘C’ 😁

That’s a shame :( something for me to be more mindful of in future videos 👍🏼

Thank you so much for the beautiful comment 🥰 I’m glad you liked it.

Thank you ☺️

Thank you 🥰

Thanks, Amy ❤️ I’d never used a slab mould before and wasn’t use to working with the smaller batter amount. I over blended it and changed my mind about the pour at the last second haha not quite what I wanted but ran out of time for a second attempt 🤦🏻‍♀️ My daughter gets very grumpy if we cut our soaps without her help 😁

Thank you! 😊

Thanks! 😊 what was the worst fragrance to accelerate on you?

Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to watch it 🥰

Thank you! 🤗

Thanks, Amy 🥰
