Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well. Goodness me it's turned cold here in the UK, we've definitely moved away from summer. I've been making a lot of salt bars recently and I really love them, so thought I share with you. I hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching :-)
you all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Jaiden Sullivan thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@@IDreamInSoap I realized I forgot to put the castor oil in 😭 will it still be ok as far as bubbles go? It came out of the molds fine and it looks great! Would this recipe minus the salt also be for swirls?
Love this video and as a fellow UK soap maker seeing a soap recipe I can get approved for such a discount is great news. Thanks for letting people know about this, there seems to be a lot of sellers at the moment who aren't getting assessments and they could be setting themselves up for a whole load of heartache. Great video as always Lisa xxx
Thanks so much Katrina. Yes there are a lot of unauthorised soaps out there, some where people are fully aware and some where people don't have a clue unfortunately
Seems to me to be just another administrative exercise in ‘extortionate’ Hell for soap makers. More regulatory Control. Thankfully I don’t reside in the UK, nor sell my soaps…despite many requests. Yet, I do find it interesting that those self same Regulations do nothing to prevent the unnecessary use of neurotoxic Additives that are rife through the Soapmaking world…if the many You Tubers’ usage is any indication. And then there’s the Group 2B classified carcinogen Titatium Dioxide….
Thank you for all your time and effort. I personally have learned a lot from you.💐 I made a ombré salt soap this morning, and cut it after 2 hours, pretty happy I didn’t wait longer. Thank you so much for this brilliant tutorial.
I love a good salt bar! I made one the other day and did a "how not to make a salt bar" 😂 I remade it just before sitting to watch this and will be cutting before the end of day!
Tracy, those bars look fabulous. If anyone can make salt bars and still make them look creamy, it's you. Sounds like a wonderful recipe. I will have to try it. Cheers 💕👍💕
Thank you Lisa for the free recipe and for giving us the link to the Cosmetic Safety Consultants. As I am based in Italy I am going to follow the path to the Safety Assessment as you already did. It is a very long and hard way to go .......
I find soapy maths exciting! You explain it all so well too. I've recommended your channel a few times in the last week or two to people struggling with calculations and how to figure things out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain so many soap steps in all of your videos. It has helped me learn in a far better way than just reading books have. I find I understand the books better after watching your videos.
Beautiful salt soap bars. I wouldn't have ever attempted a loaf mold salt loaf but after seeing your beautiful bars I feel confident I could do a salt soap like this. Well made Lisa. Stay safe and well and have a wonderful weekend.x
OMG! I hate maths but you make it look so nice and ease lol I bought this assessment after its been posted on a Facebook group. I love the way you explain the process. Thank you xx
Wow, OK, all that math, was crazy, I had to keep stopping, but its great to know know how to change your recipe and since I never copy recipes from anyone, just inspired by, it's great information I needed, thank goodness u explained it..
I came here from your link, Soap Challenge Support team 🥰. Really enjoyed that one and wanted to see the in-depth tutorial. So happy I did so. This content strengthened what I saw in my first video and reinforced what I learned. Lisa, you’re a fabulous teacher and well, Thank you for sharing your gift. So here’s a little sharing and pssssst-every word is true and what my heart and brain say together. (Sometimes they are like a naughty set of twins. Lol) 1) voice and voice over work: calming and you are careful with word choices. Clear, simple yet not “babyish”. 2) maths and details. Perfection. Easy to follow and for someone who LOVES the technical background-yay. And for someone who is scared of the maths and calculations-it was easy to follow. 3) your working and then using the voice over made it clear. (I find your style is relaxing-not a stressed or worried voice if something happens and you must figure out why. I do know this happens (but I have to say I follow your philosophy-plan for the work and the majority of “things that pop up” either don’t pop up or one is aware and can deal with the issue calmly. 3) Last and to me biggest: enjoy your soaping. Talk to yourself and allow yourself to be happy, frustrated and ultimately smile as the soap walk is done. (Kinda compiled that one from the many videos of yours I’ve watched and loved)
I have just started watching your channel and THANK YOU so very much for all the great information! I would say that you are the best of the best at explaining the process of soap making.
Hola! Desde Puerto Rico, me encanta su teabajo; este video está subtitulado mil gracias! Entendí muchas técnicas ya que estaba al español. Excelente muy bien explicado. 👏
Hola, perdón por la respuesta tardía, ha estado muy ocupado aquí. Estoy muy contento de que los subtítulos ayuden. Intento ponerlos en tantos videos como puedo
@@IDreamInSoap Hola! Gracias por contestar. Estar ocupado es bueno. Me encanta su canal. Pregunta? Porque muchos jaboneras le añaden a la lye azúcar? Espero saber de usted.☺️
@@ibeccolon8374 Hola, agregar azúcar aumentará las burbujas en su jabón, debe tener cuidado de no agregar demasiado, de lo contrario, el jabón se puede sobrecalentar. En mi traducción también apareció como limón, me pregunto si estás preguntando sobre el ácido cítrico. Si es así, se usa para detener la espuma de jabón que puede obtener, especialmente en áreas de agua dura.
Thank you! I've been afraid to try this but I think I can do it for gifts this holiday! I love watching your videos you tell it like it is! Have a great weekend!
I absolutely love you and your tutorials. You explain in such detail and it makes ot so much easier to understand. i just watched your other tutorial with the large Himalayan salt rocks. As soon as i get home im gonna make them. You are an amazing soaper. You are an absolute inspiration. 💜💜💜
Very enjoyable video. Lots and lots of helpful information and advice! And a beautiful bar for sure. I like that you include all the math you do. It adds something to your video that other soap makers don't include. Awesome job, Lisa 💕💕💕
I'm so glad I came across your channel. I really love the full detail you give and the clear and concise instructions. I love the simple soft colours of the salt bars and can't wait to make my first batch. Thank you
Lisa you are a fabulous teacher ! Wonder if you are a teacher in real life.🤔..if not, you missed your calling 😀 I see now my mistakes in my salt bars not lathering enough. Thank you for that concise, well explained vid, and your kindness in sharing with us...much appreciation from Jamaica.
Wow! You sure do pack a heap of wonderful tips and valuable information into these videos! Loved learning all about salt bars, and seeing all the variations you've achieved with the salt bar recipe. Thanks heaps Lisa! 😊
@@IDreamInSoap it went very well. Thank you again for being so generous with your information. I was able to cut at about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I added coconut milk, cane sugar and powdered goat milk, hoping to enhance the bubbles.
I absolutely loved this video/ tutorial. Ive just started making salt bars and doing all the wrong things Now i feel more confident after watching you. Can't wait to make them now.
Oh, Lisa, you are a fantastic teacher! I enjoy your videos so much and always learn new tips and tricks. You are so nice and concise with your information and as soon as I say, "Hmmm...I wonder why..." you answer it! The detail you give will make me want to try this one, too :-)
Dearest Lisa, I love your videos, and yes, I will be making a salt bar later today! Beautiful bars, all of them! Thank you for your inspiration, for sharing your talent and time with us, much love❤️🙏🏼
@@IDreamInSoap they actually did! Followed exact same recipe and also made an ombre soap, and followed all your instructions. After a couple of days I tested and the lather is already very good. Now curing time😊 thank you again so much for the fine teaching 🙏🏼
Hi Lisa! I love this video. I really want to try this recipe now. As a newbie to soap making I found it very difficult to make a small batch of soap with a stick blender and not go beyond trace. It set up too fast and then I was left frustrated and the soap wouldn't turn out the way I wanted. Someone- maybe you was using a milk brother and I decided to try that to mix in my lye water. It saved the day. My milk brother allows me to make my soap batter and I have time to muck around with it. Thank you for all of your videos. Your a great lady and I hope you continue on for many years.
P. S. In my first attempt at a Salted Soap soap, I very bravely decided to do a salt sole and salt combo with a dropped swirl into the middle of each poured individual soap = (: 0. Thankfully they turned out beautifully. Whew! 😀😀
Hi Lisa, thank you for sharing! Today I will try this recipe with some kelp powder. I already measured out everything, just waiting for the lye solution to cool down.
Really enjoyed watching this and learnt a lot as I am a new soap maker. The way that you explain things are so clear and informative. May I ask where you purchase you Essential Oil from?
I can’t wait to try it! Specially bc living in Hawaii it intrigues me to use our native salt or even water right from a clear spot on the beach? 🤔 writing it down on my “Lisa’s inspired ideas” notebook LOL
@@IDreamInSoap 2 quick questions.... are you able to stamp your salt bars? I assume you might be able to at the beveling stage or right after unmoulding?
@@Mrsnatyg You can do it, but I've not had much luck, if you do them when you unmould they van be too soft, at the bevel stage I find them to hard to get a good impression without damaging them, so I tend not to bother as they never look great
Hi Lisa, thank you so much for giving so much detail for making these salt bars. I’ve been having a problem when I’m curing salt bars & then storing them. Even if I use only 10% of salt in relation to my total oil batch,they sweat & feel slightly wet to the touch. I just don’t want to make them for that reason. Do you have any tips or tricks in that regard.
Hi Lisa! I wish I had seen this video 3 weeks ago when I was trying to figure out my recipe for my salt bar. (Maths are my worst subject). I had trouble bevelling it. I believe I used too much salt. (Himalayan Pink). I wish I could post a pic to show you. Your work is spot on as usual :)
Hi Lisa, fantastic video and what a great assessment this is, I am going to apply for this assessment too now, so thanks for sharing the details. This is a really nice recipe. Look forward to your next video as always, be safe 💐🌈
I adore this process. Thank you so much for breaking it down. It’s working beautifully and now I just need to find out how to control soda ash. Suggestions?
So pleased you like the salt bars, to reduce soda ash reduce your water and keep your soap covered for a couple of days - that's for normal soap, for salt bars you have to get them out of the mould and cut. Salt bars do sometimes end up with a different type of ash ' efflorescence' . Efflorescence is the migration of a salt to the surface of a material, where it forms a coating. The essential process involves the dissolving of an internally held salt in water, or occasionally in another solvent. The water, with the salt now held in solution, migrates to the surface, then evaporates, leaving a coating of the salt.
Before I moved from one coast to the other...I went to the gulf and got some saltwater and seaweed to make soap...as a test. I absolutely love the bars!! Just for my own use cause I doubt they’d pass the cheeky regulations 😱☺️😱☺️😱😬😬
Oh gosh could you imagine asking 'I've picked up a load of seaweed from the beech, I think I got all the bits of sand and things off of it, how do I write this on my assessment' :-)
What a great tutorial on salt bars. I appreciate you and the time you take to explain things for us new Soapers. I’ve made quite a lot of “regular” soap using many different oil combinations and now introducing different additives to my loaves. I want to make this recipe, however I don’t think I’ll be fooling with the hombre look with salt. :-). I will however attempt that hombre with one of my recipes that stays thin for some time. I do want to know though, how long must these cure? Is it the same as other soaps, 4-6 weeks?
Great video! It's lovely to see more information about the assessment process in the UK/EU. I've never made or used a salt soap before, so I'm curious to know how this soap feels when lathering it up. Does the majority of the salt dissolve? How exfoliating are these bars compared to ones with other exfoliant types?
Thanks Emily. I use fine salt so in fact they are super smooth and not exfoliating at all. If you used bigger grains then they would be, I was surprised how lovely they felt the 1st time I used them
Lisa, thank you, for sharing your time and gift of soap making. The salt bars look amazing. How long do you let them cure before using them? I am just respectfully learning this artistic medium and your teaching gift shines through!!! I have some chemistry experience in my past and find this intriguing. Hope to try making some soon. Blessings from USA.
HI Linda, thank you so much. I let all my soaps cure for a minimum of 6 weeks before I sell them. 4 is actually good enough, but the longer, the better. Also you can keep on letting them cure and they will keep on improving (although most of that is done earlier on)
Graças a tradução legendada pude acompanhar seu ensinamentos nos mínimos detalhes amei cada palavra obrigada por nos ensinar de Balneário Camboriu SC Brasil 🇧🇷
Thanks for this great video. You’re an excellent teacher! It looks like the soap you made will have exfoliating properties, although I don’t know for sure. Is there a way to reduce exfoliation in salt bars?
Hi, I always make subtitles for all of my video, it takes me about 3 hours to do them, but I translate into 8 languages, are your settings on correctly
I’m very thankful for your very clear and helpful explanation in your videos! I have used the salt bar recipe today and made it based on your information in your video. It worked perfectly and the soap is resting tonight until tomorrow. My question, and maybe I missed it, is how long this soap needs to cure? Thanks much in advance, Susanne
Wonderful! I'm so pleased you gave it a go. Minimum cure time should be 4 weeks, but they will just keep improving after that, so longer is fine, but not necessary if you want to start using them.
Wow you had a long time to work! Last time I made a salt bar I could barely mix the salt in and had to plop and push it into the individual cavities I was using.
May I say I really enjoy your video’s. I’m a beginner and you have expanded it so I can understand it so easy. I do have a question. How long does this salt soap have to set up and cure before using?
You are such a terrific teacher. Thank you for all your hard work on these videos- I know it's time consuming to edit so meticulously.
Thank you so much, ooh yes the editing does take ages, so it's lovely that you noticed :-)
👏

I made this soap an hour ago. Mine stayed nice and fluid to do the ombre pour. Can't wait to see what it looks like. Thank you!!
Ooh excellent, I hope it came out well.
@@IDreamInSoap I realized I forgot to put the castor oil in 😭 will it still be ok as far as bubbles go?

Thank you for all of your videos. Your a great lady and I hope you continue on for many years.
Thank you so much Tami, I'm so pleased that you have started to have success, that's excellent news.
Oh Dear! Spell check got me again. I don't know what a milk brother is but a milk froth-er is used to make foamy milk. How do I teach spell check?
I like the video very much, You do a very good job at explaining everything.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful soap, am new to this and your video is very informative, many thanks xx
That's so kind of you to say @karenhaley1429, thank you so much 😊
Thank you 🙏 for your very informative & detailed presentation👏. I’d love to see your Salty Cats video...if you did one 😊
P. S. In my first attempt at a Salted Soap soap, I very bravely decided to do a salt sole and salt combo with a dropped swirl into the middle of each poured individual soap = (: 0. Thankfully they turned out beautifully. Whew! 😀😀
yippee, that's excellent
Beautiful colors
Hi again Karol, thank you so much :-)
I love this video ,you explain everything sooo clear .Love it xSubscribed
Thank you so much Paula`s Beauty World, and welcome new subscriber, I'm so pleased you have subscribed. I hope you enjoy my channel 😊
Hi Lisa, thank you for sharing! Today I will try this recipe with some kelp powder. I already measured out everything, just waiting for the lye solution to cool down.
Ooh how exciting. I hope it goes really well for you
Really enjoyed watching this and learnt a lot as I am a new soap maker. The way that you explain things are so clear and informative. May I ask where you purchase you Essential Oil from?
Thank you Glenis. I typically buy my essential oils from Mystic Moments (In the UK)
I can’t wait to try it! Specially bc living in Hawaii it intrigues me to use our native salt or even water right from a clear spot on the beach? 🤔 writing it down on my “Lisa’s inspired ideas” notebook LOL
Ooh that sound fabulous, I hope they go well
@@IDreamInSoap 2 quick questions.... are you able to stamp your salt bars? I assume you might be able to at the beveling stage or right after unmoulding?
@@Mrsnatyg You can do it, but I've not had much luck, if you do them when you unmould they van be too soft, at the bevel stage I find them to hard to get a good impression without damaging them, so I tend not to bother as they never look great
Excellent tutorial! Thank you. The ombre effect is so pretty too :)
Thank you for leaving a comment Nekisha CD Lewis I'm so pleased you liked the soap ☺️
Great soft color! Thanks for the recipe 🧪🙃
HI again Micol. Thanks very much :-)
Thank you for such a detailed video.
Thanks a lot Pam, so pleased you found it useful :-)
Hi Lisa, thank you so much for giving so much detail for making these salt bars. I’ve been having a problem when I’m curing salt bars & then storing them. Even if I use only 10% of salt in relation to my total oil batch,they sweat & feel slightly wet to the touch. I just don’t want to make them for that reason. Do you have any tips or tricks in that regard.
Hi Lisa! I wish I had seen this video 3 weeks ago when I was trying to figure out my recipe for my salt bar. (Maths are my worst subject). I had trouble bevelling it. I believe I used too much salt. (Himalayan Pink). I wish I could post a pic to show you.
Your work is spot on as usual :)
Thank you so much Sharon, you can always email me at info@idreaminsoap.co.uk
@@IDreamInSoap Thank you so much! Xo
Hey, thanks again for the soap Lisa... they smell lovely, look great 👍 keep up the good work 😎 #44
Thank you so much 🤗 so pleased you like them
Hi Lisa, fantastic video and what a great assessment this is, I am going to apply for this assessment too now, so thanks for sharing the details. This is a really nice recipe. Look forward to your next video as always, be safe 💐🌈
HI Tracey, thank you so much. Ooh yes it is a great assessment, have fun with it :-)
always learn something from your video! thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you so much :-)
Merci beaucoup très bien expliqué.
I adore this process. Thank you so much for breaking it down. It’s working beautifully and now I just need to find out how to control soda ash. Suggestions?
So pleased you like the salt bars, to reduce soda ash reduce your water and keep your soap covered for a couple of days - that's for normal soap, for salt bars you have to get them out of the mould and cut. Salt bars do sometimes end up with a different type of ash ' efflorescence' . Efflorescence is the migration of a salt to the surface of a material, where it forms a coating. The essential process involves the dissolving of an internally held salt in water, or occasionally in another solvent. The water, with the salt now held in solution, migrates to the surface, then evaporates, leaving a coating of the salt.
@@IDreamInSoap Ah Ha! That explains it. It felt very grainy today when I beveled the edges. I imagine there’s no solution to it. Again, thank you 😁
Thank you for sharing this with us! I love your videos
Thank you so much Christina
Before I moved from one coast to the other...I went to the gulf and got some saltwater and seaweed to make soap...as a test. I absolutely love the bars!! Just for my own use cause I doubt they’d pass the cheeky regulations 😱☺️😱☺️😱😬😬
Oh gosh could you imagine asking 'I've picked up a load of seaweed from the beech, I think I got all the bits of sand and things off of it, how do I write this on my assessment' :-)
@@IDreamInSoap I think I kept all the sand and bits in😂😂😂 it’s a bit scrubby🤦♀️🤦♀️
What a great tutorial on salt bars. I appreciate you and the time you take to explain things for us new Soapers. I’ve made quite a lot of “regular” soap using many different oil combinations and now introducing different additives to my loaves. I want to make this recipe, however I don’t think I’ll be fooling with the hombre look with salt. :-). I will however attempt that hombre with one of my recipes that stays thin for some time. I do want to know though, how long must these cure? Is it the same as other soaps, 4-6 weeks?
Thanks so much. Yes still the normal cure time, but they get even better with a longer cure
I really enjoy your videos!!
Thank you so much Melody, that's very kind of you.
Great video! It's lovely to see more information about the assessment process in the UK/EU.
I've never made or used a salt soap before, so I'm curious to know how this soap feels when lathering it up. Does the majority of the salt dissolve? How exfoliating are these bars compared to ones with other exfoliant types?
Thanks Emily. I use fine salt so in fact they are super smooth and not exfoliating at all. If you used bigger grains then they would be, I was surprised how lovely they felt the 1st time I used them
@@IDreamInSoap thanks for the information! Are there any salts to stay away from using in salt bars?
@@emilyfleischmann Hi Emily, I only use sea salt and Himalayan salt and make sure i avoid anything that has additives in it
Lisa, thank you, for sharing your time and gift of soap making. The salt bars look amazing. How long do you let them cure before using them? I am just respectfully learning this artistic medium and your teaching gift shines through!!! I have some chemistry experience in my past and find this intriguing. Hope to try making some soon. Blessings from USA.
HI Linda, thank you so much. I let all my soaps cure for a minimum of 6 weeks before I sell them. 4 is actually good enough, but the longer, the better. Also you can keep on letting them cure and they will keep on improving (although most of that is done earlier on)
Graças a tradução legendada pude acompanhar seu ensinamentos nos mínimos detalhes amei cada palavra obrigada por nos ensinar de Balneário Camboriu SC Brasil 🇧🇷
Feliz em ajudar 😉
👍👍👍Thank you very much 🎉🎉🎉🎉
You are so welcome!
Thanks for this great video. You’re an excellent teacher! It looks like the soap you made will have exfoliating properties, although I don’t know for sure. Is there a way to reduce exfoliation in salt bars?
The salt bars do not tend to be exfoliating, they are actually pretty smooth, as long as you use a fine grain salt
Thanks Lisa.
Thanks Yamina
Thank you I love your video.. I am learning making soap and listening English. It will be nice if there subtitles 💝❤️💗
Hi, I always make subtitles for all of my video, it takes me about 3 hours to do them, but I translate into 8 languages, are your settings on correctly
I’m very thankful for your very clear and helpful explanation in your videos! I have used the salt bar recipe today and made it based on your information in your video. It worked perfectly and the soap is resting tonight until tomorrow. My question, and maybe I missed it, is how long this soap needs to cure?
Thanks much in advance,
Susanne
Wonderful! I'm so pleased you gave it a go. Minimum cure time should be 4 weeks, but they will just keep improving after that, so longer is fine, but not necessary if you want to start using them.
Wow you had a long time to work! Last time I made a salt bar I could barely mix the salt in and had to plop and push it into the individual cavities I was using.
Thanks a lot Amanda, yes I do find I get a pretty good working time, which is great :-)
May I say I really enjoy your video’s. I’m a beginner and you have expanded it so I can understand it so easy. I do have a question. How long does this salt soap have to set up and cure before using?
Thanks so much. The salt bars cure as normal soaps, so any time after 4 to 6 weeks is OK, but as with all soaps they improve with age.
Nice upload
Thank you so much 🙂
