I have 'thinned out' many shower gel recipes when adding fragrance oil. However, I have a tip: Create a Slurry separately of the thickened gel & fo THEN add it to the main amount... Perfection! 👌 everytime!
Hi Corey, what if you would add Polysorbate 20? Mayby it would (partly) prevent the soap from thinning out. Mix it with the fragrance before adding it to the recipe. It also will increase the transparency of the shower gel
So creative! I've been looking for natural ways other than xanthan gum to thicken gels and this is such a wonderful option! Thank you so much for your heart for teaching!
You are on a roll with these body washes!! Last night I made the transparent shower gel and it’s just perfect 👌🏾, I have lots of sea moss so will be trying this new recipe, I’m most excited 🙌
Great video! I want to make this. I only drink alkaline water, and have plenty of it. So can I actually use alkaline water instead of the distilled water to make this?
Is the first surfactant that you used natural and free of chemicals? It can be used for face washes for sensitive acne prone skin? Also where did you got your dye from?
I’m having trouble finding some of the ingredients like the (SLES) and L betaine ..could you perhaps provide a website where we might be able to purchase those items?
Hi thank you! Yes using more sea moss water would thicken it up, however, it may have a but of a slimy texture. I have often thought about experimenting more with this.
I absolutely love this shower gel, I tried it 3x with different fragrances. I was only successful once and it feels/lathers amazing the other 2 were a fail. I may just put them in a foaming container. 😪 (Definitely a tricky soap but when it works it’s amazing!)
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany I did & it thickened up at the moment but then it became thin again & changed the color of the soap (went from shimmery blue to downy blue). There was no coming back from that 😞
It definitely is going to break down all of its benefits! You’re never supposed to cook seamoss! This is what happens when people work with ingredients that they have no knowledge on.
@@mkisna can you, yes, should you no! You are the only person in the Caribbean that I heard who heats it. I have plenty of friends and family from many islands that will tell you not to. I get mine from Grenada and the instructions say not to. I’m a herbalist as well and was taught not to you. To each it’s own.
@kim Amelia's Boutique...I am from St Lucia...I harvest seamoss from the ocean...sea moss has been part of our vibe longer than Grenada. We make drinks with it and derive the gel by boiling. You can also soak it overnight and blend it...but the gel is different...either way you use it based on your need. For the soap gel, boiling would be the better option.
Something else that just came to mind Corey was aiming for the collagen and carragenan contained in seamoss...unless you are heating this to over 500 degrees Celsius it is not easily affected by heat.
This is great, so glad I'm a patron. I usually just wash my sea moss and soak it overnight in cool water and it gets super soft, then I blend it.
Me too. I soak with lime

What’s a slurry please,ty

I recently did a Sea moss Creamy body wash. It’s an amazing ingredient
That sounds amazing!!
Hi there Astarie...can you share your recipe for the creamy body wash.
@@mkisna Hi!! I wouldn’t share here as Sunshine Soap and Candles has a tutorial on her channel. You can follow my channel if you’d like though.
@@astarieapothecary sure I can follow your channel...what's it called.
Not to worry...I found your channel.

I love all of your videos. You have truly inspired me to venture out and try making soaps and stuff.
you are welcome! Thank you for watching!
Yes indeed. I will definitely be adding this to my collection.. TFS 😍😍
Just found you and ordered the sea moss body wash. I have been needing something like this. Thanks.
Thank you so much! I hope you love it!
Great video! I want to make this. I only drink alkaline water, and have plenty of it. So can I actually use alkaline water instead of the distilled water to make this?
Is the first surfactant that you used natural and free of chemicals? It can be used for face washes for sensitive acne prone skin? Also where did you got your dye from?
That color! 😍😍😍
just made my own formula using coco glucoside and I LOVE IT 🤩
It’s a really good formula!!
I’m having trouble finding some of the ingredients like the (SLES) and L betaine ..could you perhaps provide a website where we might be able to purchase those items?
Amazon for sles I still can’t find the other
Can you use this dye in your bar sea moss soap?
Needed this! I can’t wait to put this to use! Thank you ❤️❤️
You are welcome! Let me know how you like it!
You are the goat! This is amazing!
Thank you! Why is a preservative not needed? What's the shelf life?
She added liquid Germall Plus at around 13:00.
I love your recipes and tips! Thank you. Do you think if you used more of the sea moss water, then you wouldn't have to thicken it up. Just wondering.
Hi thank you! Yes using more sea moss water would thicken it up, however, it may have a but of a slimy texture. I have often thought about experimenting more with this.
Hi I have my own soap recipe but I wanted to know do I take away from the water % or add it as a addition the seamoss gel
Is there a another surfactant other than lauramidopropyl betaine that you can use it is not readily available.
I absolutely love this shower gel, I tried it 3x with different fragrances. I was only successful once and it feels/lathers amazing the other 2 were a fail. I may just put them in a foaming container. 😪 (Definitely a tricky soap but when it works it’s amazing!)
Thank you! I’m so glad you love it! Have you used salt to thicken up the thinner ones?
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany I did & it thickened up at the moment but then it became thin again & changed the color of the soap (went from shimmery blue to downy blue). There was no coming back from that 😞
Hey Can Please Help Me out.??
How to make sles Suspending..want to add jojoba beads to facewash!!
Can’t wait to try it 👍👏👏
thank you!
Brilliant. Thank you
What if I wanted to use liquid African soap? Would that replace the sles?
I cannot WAIT to formulate with sea moss now!!!
it is so fun!!
Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to try!
greetings, can you use cocamidopropyl instead of the lauramidopropyl?
Yes you can!
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany thank you. I love how you teach. Awesome 👌
@@itazcare1628 thank you! I actually used to be a teacher :)
Where did you get the SLES and Lauramidopropyl betaine from.
Did you find out?
Is there any other natural ingredient that will also thicken the gel back besides salt?
You can use guar or xanthan gum
I love, love the look and sound of this 🚿 shower gel but I can't get the Lauramidopropyl betain anywhere in Australia, so frustrating.
Can you use citric acid in the recipe to lower PH?
Yes you can!
This is beautiful!! 😍 do you mind me asking, what would be the best type of body wash for babies? ♥️
Can you use this on the face or do you have a recipe for liquid face sea moss soap?
Thanks! It looks amazing.
What was the preservative that was used?
Hey what’s the shelf life on this recipe ? And my skin reacts terribly to salt. Would you recommend an alternative like xantham gum or something
Anyone know the measurements? Also, will epsom salt work as well?
Hello, this formula is available on my Patreon campaign, the link now in the description box. I am not sure about using epsom salt to thicken.
Can l replace the SLES ?
Looks nice
Loved the video. How many ounces were the bottles?
I love your tutorials but what do you use if you don't get that base can you use something else
Can you use SLSA
I'm wondering if you have a recipe book that we can purchase. Thanks!
What about the salt makes that happen?
Please say the name of the company that makes the dye again.
Omg! I love it
When will this recipe be listed on Patreon? I can’t wait to make this!
Hello, can this be used as a feminine wash?
No, however, stay tuned, I have a tutorial on a feminine Wash coming out this week!
Can sea salt or pink salt be used?
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. Is there a shelf life?
Thank you! This will last for about one year from the time it is made.
When iis he sea moss shower gel shower be available to purchase? Thank you.
They are on my website now!
hello, do you give this recipe in percentages so we could batch size it?
Hi there, yes all my recipes contain percentages.
Thank you for sharing!
I have read of people complaining about the smell of sea moss.Does the boiling process you showed get rid of that smell?
when you first take it out of the package in dry form, it smells strong like sea weed and sea water. Washing it helps a lot to remove the smell.
What can I use instead of sles that's Sulfate free ?
Love it. Thank you😍
Great information!
Hi Corey can I use sea moss powder to make the body wash?
Hi! I need to look into this. I have not
Tried it, but if it is water soluble it should work!
Hi Corey, I'm so excited about this project. I have not seen the dry sea moss, Can I use the sea moss gel from a health store?
Hi there, you probably can use sea moss gel from the store. you probably will need to warm it up and get it thinned out.
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany thank you so much
Looooove! Another one I can't wait to try
Can you add oatmeal to this shower gel
Will essential oils evenly disperse in this ??
Yes, I think you could use essential oil in this recipe.
You are the best
Thank you!
Yessssss😍😍😍
Can I just buy the sea moss shower gel recipe
Please I need some raw liquid soap
Make plz SLES free product
Nice!
Thank you! Can you do a body butter/lotion 😀
Yes, this is on my list!!
Lol I'm watching on silent at a restaurant but just in case is this hypoallergenic? 🤭 still a little new
Want a recipe. How much?
It definitely is going to break down all of its benefits! You’re never supposed to cook seamoss! This is what happens when people work with ingredients that they have no knowledge on.

Actually you can boil seamoss...we have been using it like this in the Caribbean for decades.
