Tammy, you make it look relaxing and easy. 'Slow & steady wins the race'. It seems everything goes much better when you aren't rushed and endeavors are undertaken around everyday life. I know working has its own category. Mine was 12 hour shifts. I will be using that code. Can't wait for the next video. Cheers & Blessings 👍🤗
I found that very interesting and I've been looking into making liquid soap for a while now. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and joy of soaping. Your success has spurred me on to trying to attempt the process. 👏👏😍😍
I have been debating on purchasing the ebook but now I think I'm gonna juat have to take the plunge. I keep getting asked by my kids for liquid soap for the bathroom instead of a mini bar. Thank you for sharing💕💕
It is an intimidating read that is for sure! - they put so much work into it. I still don't understand all of the chemistry parts of it 😁 - let me know if you get it - and if you need any help!💖
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique I got it. Holy Cow!!! That's a huge book. Hehe. Just through the 1st chapter and a half and was like , no wonder the book is a little pricey. Haha. Worth.

Tammy , they look great! I have been toying with doing liquid soaps but the dual lye thing always made me think...yeah...maybe not. I am going to give this one a try.... This is more my style! lol Thanks again!! ~ Michele
I am new to liquid soap making and have a question, can these recipes be used in the foaming pump bottles? Do you need to do anything different than what you showed on here for these types of foaming pump bottles? thanks
Hi Lianne, no need for anything different - if the soap is thin after adding a fo then all the better for a foam dispenser, if the soap is to thick just add more water (make your soap concentration lower - I think I used a 65 water to 35 soap paste in this recipe, you could make the same recipe and use a 80 or 85 water to 20 or 15 % soap.) You will just need to make sure you are preserving the final product appropriately for however much water you use! -- good luck!!😀
hello tammy. Salam dr Malaysia ! is this recipe still need to cure ? sorry for my bad engliah i tried buying the recipe from the link you’ve given but couldnt find the column to key in the disc code
Hi Kebun!! (no worries on english) - I let it sit for a week or so, Also if you add the ebook to your cart there should be a box that states "add promo code" right under the money (it is green for me). then a box pops up and you can add that code there. I hope that helps!!
Hi Ashley - My thoughts here 🤗I don't think technically you need a preservative. Much like cold process soap - the pH on liquid soap is high - 9-10 usually. That high of a pH is why people say you do not need a preservative. Also, it is hard to find a preservative that will work in such a high pH environment. When I started I did not add a preservative. But when I really started to sell I did add. This was maybe an added step and expense, but I just felt that I should do what I could to ward off the nasties. I never had an issue with my soaps when I didn't preserve them and if I was making for myself only I would not. But selling - yes I do. Hope that helps some! Good luck this weekend!
Woo-hoo! Thanks 4 this! I bought the book long ago thanks 2u & messed up the 1st & only recipe that I made. So I'm reading the book but I'm not done. I desperately want to make the dish soap one but came out too liquidity idk why😅
oh, I don't remember the dish soap one- I'm going to look for that one! - sorry yours didn't turn out! Let me see about making a video on the dish soap one and we can figure out what happened! - some formulas need thickened and some don't - I found the 30 min ones usually do not but the longer process ones usually do.
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique Oh no is ok plus last night you encouraged me to try again & I think I made it! I read in the book that all coconut oil soap they need less water to dilute & longer cooking time (pg 471-473) if I'm not mistaking. I'm not fine reading the book yet but now that I'm done with nursing finals from this semester, I'll do just that. Oh and the "Coconut oil Dish Soap" is on page 475. I think I started with a hard recipe negate the process for this one is a bit different from the others. Sorry for the long text but thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. 1 more thing..I learned that to have a good paste recipe it's great since it would be a very versatile item. You can make whipped soap, scrubs, whipped cream shaving soap which I would like to make next & who knows what else you can make lol
@@Nina-2311 Thanks for the info on the dish soap - I will def check that out! - and no worries with long text - I don't mind LOL The paste into whipped soap, scrubs and what not is not something I have ever seen before. I have heard that you do that with a cream soap - which I have been meaning to try for a full 3 years now LOL.
Hey Tammy, thanks for the coupon code. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this yet, but I think I'm going to get the ebook, so that when I'm ready I'll have it.
Hi Michelle💖, I was very intimidated by liquid soaps, and actually through out several batches in my early days. I don't know if it was the ebook or just experience but I really don't sweat it when things don't go my way anymore - it's all fixable. When you are ready I will be here to help you with any questions (although I don't feel I am in any way an expert) - I have emailed the writers of the book for help and they have always responded - that is a plus!
Hi Nona, technically no you do not need a preservative, but if selling it is recommended. The pH in liquid soap is pretty high so the chance of growth is low. But some people will add water to their soaps to make it last longer and adding a preservative will help that, at least a little LOL
Thanks Tammy...that was fun! I don't think I'm ready for liquid soap making, yet, however, I will definitely look into this recipe. *You were already 'legit', before the discount code❣
ummm, I don't think so Carolyn. I had one separate out on me this year for the first time and I'm not sure why or how that happened. I do think warming up your base is the best thing to do to help incorporate the fragrance. Have you tried warming it up since this question? I would try if you still have it and see if the fragrance blends in and dissolves. Good Luck! Let me know if that works!💗
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique weeeeelllll, I added a bit of the fragrance to a bit of liquid soap ( warmed up) gave ir a few stirs and when I checked it the day it was ok, I will heat up every time now I guess....it was off-putting for sure and I noticed it as I was stocking my shelf at the shop I sell at. That only happened with that scent and not the other. Dang I hate surprises lol.
Doooodddd, I wanna make liquid soap just to play with the squishy! I only got my 1st batch of facial cream done this week. Not very productive of me I admit but I pinched a nerve at work and I can barely stand for longer than 15 minutes. It's brutal! And the odd thing is it hurts way down into the inside of my knee. 😳 Who knew that was possible? So I'm waiting to see the Chiropractor on Monday. 😬 Now I know some don't believe in chiropractors but he really helps me and he's really good looking so yeah, Heal me Doctor! 😏 I have a few questions about liquid soap, can you color it with mica's or dye's, and why did you check the ph balance on liquid soap and we don't do that to cold process soap? Thank you for another great video! It made my day seeing your smiling face! 💛💛💛💛
Oh I hope you feel better soon! That is weird that your knee hurts, but the spine does weird things. I hurt my lower back once and to turn my head was excruciating🤷♀️ - I think chiropractors (especially cute ones 🤣) are good doctors - you go and get that cutie to fix you LOL You can use dye's (not really mica) to color. I have a green one, but mostly don't color them. I check the ph because there is very little superfat in liquid soap and it will tell you if it is lye heavy or not. Anything over 10-10.5 I would have to fix. I haven't had to do that yet though. Have a good week and feel better!! 🥰
Hi Tammie! I meant to say which recipe I was following and kept calling it the green aloe instead of the name 🤦♀️ It is the Cocoa Creamy or maybe Creamy Cocoa...one of those!
Tammie! I just realized that I told you wrong! The video I am editing now is the cocoa creamy one, this recipe is the Green Aloe Butter on pg 478 - sorry!!!
Hey, life before work, lol! I'd rather spend time with my grandkids. So, if it took you a week, so what! You got it done...that's all that matters in the end. Cool discount code! 15% is nice, I'll have to check that out! I make facial washes, but would like to make a foaming hand wash that goes in a foamer top bottle. Because that's the only bottles I have,lol! Don't want to buy new one's and have to try and find the right pump tops. I'm still having supply issues with certain jars, containers, lids, etc. How about you, are you finding yours ok? I'm curious what others are doing out there! Have a great weekend, Tammy! Jill
hey Jill! Hope you are doing super well this fine day! I haven't tried the foamer bottles but I hear ya with the supply issues. I will tell you my secret...www.usplastic.com/ that is where I am able to find in stock packaging. I am down to my last 18 oblong bottles from SKS and they are on backorder...(my jars I purchased are still on backorder from almost a year ago😡) I'm not sure what I am going to do for my liquid soaps from there. Maybe the foamer bottles 😃 - I do like that you can buy 1 of an item, (super fast shipping) and then see if it will work for your purposes. Have a great week ahead!!
LOL - You sound like me when I'm hungry! Um, as far as thicker, not really - once they are room temp that is where they are at. I just finished another recipe from the boot (video coming soon) and it was so thick I was worried that it wouldn't pump, but the FO thinned is out perfectly...and that was not adding Anything to thicken it! It's that craziest thing with those 30 min formulas! Most are thick enough that I don't do anything to them.😁
