My first batch of soap paste, I followed your video…sort of… but didn’t realize it was an hour cook. I did it for ten minutes, stick blended & stored in between, then 5, and then 5. It turned out just fine and has been a wonderful blend that I’ve used for so many things. I didn’t wait for all my oils to melt, I just blended in the lye water. This time I did it the same way. It separates the first blend, but after stick blending and stirring the next two times it was kinda jelly and exactly like last time. So it took about 30 minutes max. So I don’t think I’m going to do the long mix at the beginning or cooking it for an hour because it worked out just fine. Makes a beautiful sugar soap scrub, liquid soap, etc. I’m going to try the shave soap next. Just wanted to let you know. You were totally right in the first video. You really can’t screw this stuff up. Thanks again for the recipe! ♥️
Coming back to comment 2 years after my original comments. Your soap paste is awesome. I've made it several times. I have another full time job or I'd probably have to make a lot more to keep up with demand. The only preservative that doesn't seem to deflate the scrub to a disappointing degree is liquid germall plus. But I've only tried 3 preservatives so far. I might experiment with some others. I haven't used clay in my whip yet, but I'm doing that very soon. This is so much less expensive than a whipped soap base. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I like that you bring the water to you and not fade away to the sink. For some reason i always feel like they've changed the soap. But not with you, you have it right before my eyes. I like the way you do things. Thanks again for this video. Yes, I'm binge watching ALL of your old videos.
I've got some paste (unfortunately not your recipe) I'm gonna try to see if it will work. Thank U so much for your time and effort. Love every video you made! I listen to one everyday to work! Lol! Of course not watching it as I'm driving😂
Also, what preservative do you use? Or do you not put preservative in this specific formula? I used your recipe for whipped sugar soap scrub recently and used Optiphen & it seemed to deflate the soap a bit. I really didn't get quite the volume you did.
Hello, thank you for sharing these videos. So I made the paste, but I think I didn't cook it enough time. According to me it looked cooked LOL...so when I made the whipped soap sugar scrub there was 0 lather, hahahaha, I mean it feels good, but no lather. Something told me it was weird because when I melted the paste with water and stearic acid, there was like a thick mashed potato thing and part of the soap didn't melt, so I had to add a bit more water, even then....I love it, learning in the process.
Hey there, sweetie I have a question. I’ve made soap paste several times and it is by far my favorite project. I’m not a seller. I’m just an old granny that likes to make projects with my granddaughter. This time I made up a big batch and for some reason, it is dry and crumblylike powder I’m so disappointed. It was the last of my lie. Is there anything I can do fix this so that I have paste two years over the next several months?
Absolutely love your tutorials. I followed the other soap paste video which said cook for 10 mins then 5 mins…it got to the ‘mashed potato’ stage and is now cooling overnight…this is the same recipe but says to cook for 1hr plus 1hr?. Did I not cook mine long enough? Can’t wait to see how it turns out tomorrow 😃💕
Hello I've been following you and your recipes from year one and find yours to be the best. I do have a question? I'd like to make the clarifying shampoo using the cream soap but I'm finding it hard to figure out when it passes from soap paste to cream soap?? Help
Hello again!!!!! Good news. I made your paste 😉 it was easy and fun. I did go ahead and buy the KOH and I used that along with the NaOH. I’m excited to make the next project. Do you have another social media that you use so that we can share the project you’ve inspired us to make?
TY Mrs. Soap and clay for all your hard work and showing us all these beautiful creations!!! That being said I made the paste and all the things…. Made the whipped soap and it’s amazing! The only issue I am having is that when I add sugar the consistency changes😭😭 What am I doing wrong???!!!!
Hey! You can really run with any extract you’d like; buckthorn is good for hair softening, aloe and chamomile are good for skin repair. Loads of others would be great in this too, though!
After you heat up the paste, add the water and steric, do you allow to cool before starting the blend to add glycerin and such? Also aprox how much clay? I would like to give this a go but do not want to add to much clay and it be to dry. With that said can it be a blend of clays such as bentonite, or French green, or even a blen of clay & and col. oatmeal?? Mica? Would Dead Sea mud be an allowable replacement ?
Do you have a favorite soap calc ap? I find some will not give both options. One will not even allow me to change the weights after adding in percentages. I have several on my phone, but looking for a full purpose ap if you dint mind sharing that. Thanks a bunch!! If you do write a book on all of the sciency things, I'm in!!
Technically the pH isn’t conducive to bacterial growth so no, but in general I recommend adding a preservative to liquid soaps or scrubs anyway to ensure the end user has a good experience.
@@MrsSoapAndClay You're AWESOME, thanks for clarifying :) It's all new to me. Made first batch of soap in my life last night. Picked hot process, two colors, marbled granite looking, 3 essential oils and I ROCKED IT ! Thanks for all you do and your good juju! Dual lye soap paste on today's list 👈
@@MrsSoapAndClay BEST part of it???? I studied EVERYTHING you've shared and that I watched in your videos and I did NOT use someone elses recipe. I picked my oils, percentages, fatty acid profiles, calculated lye, superfat @5% and sister lemme tell ya, I unmolded at 6 hours, cut BEAUTIFULLY with a knife and soaped up like Mr. Bubble with a test piece. Can't wait to see what it does in a week!!
I made your soap paste recently and had little weird dark brown firm thready chunks that I felt like I had to pull out. Did I cook it too hot? Is something potentially wrong with my oils? Or lye? I've never had this happen before with soap. However, I mostly do cold process and this is the first time I've done dual lye anything.
I love watching everything you make!! every time I have an Idea, (because im a beginner), my mind wants to make everything I can think of and you always have a video for it!! cant we be neighbors?
It is smart that you stop when you do… at that loose “applesauce” consistency, otherwise you can easily burn up your stick blender for no reason. (ask me how I know!😂) R.I.P. countless stick blenders! I have burned up cheap 😊ones and expensive ones in that “mashed potato” stage, too. It is the main reason I don’t do hot process more often. I’ve been thinking of getting a more heavy-duty stick blender. Anyone HPers out there know of a wattage level/brand/model that would be a good investment?
Thankyou so much for this video. Exactly what I was searching for. Just a couple.of questions Im in Australia and it gets quite warm in summer here would this cream withstand the heat? If I were to sell these would I need to use a preservative? Trying to keep my products natural. Thanks and love your videos.
Hey! I’m weirdly on my video to check a recipe because I’m doing an update to this whipped soap in a few weeks, and saw your comment. Not the point, sorry. I’ll focus. Yes the cream holds up in the heat, and preservatives are not required in the US - the pH of this soap will not allow beasties to form, but you’d know your regulations in Australia better than I would, so double check those!
@@MrsSoapAndClay thankyou for the reply. Happy to hear it will withstand the heat. Excited to see the updated video. Love this recipe and you're amazing as always. Thanks 😊
@MrsSoapAndClay if I wanted to add a preservative do I do it at 1% or .5 or .05 I can’t find anything that helps with percentages. Help Please!! Lol. ❤❤
@kasiemcclure7289 with preservatives, it depends on the system you’ve selected. You’ll need to select a preservative that works in a high ph product and then go by the manufacturer’s specifications for said preservative.
Awww thank you! It’s a dress. So many years ago, when I first opened the shop on The Ave I shared the space with a dress shop, and she specialized in 50s and 60s attire. I spent a lot of money on her side of the shop. 😂

Thank you for this lovely tutorial and for your efforts!😍
I would like to know the percentages of lye (KOH /NaOH) for this recipe if possible.🙏🏻
Hello I've been following you and your recipes from year one and find yours to be the best. I do have a question? I'd like to make the clarifying shampoo using the cream soap but I'm finding it hard to figure out when it passes from soap paste to cream soap?? Help
Would this work for a beard wash? Would the ph be too high for a healthy beard? Thank you! This looks amazing!

Hey! So glad you had fun with the making of the things! You can tag me on insta so I can see it!
at what % of other ingredients/additives do we add in adter the paste is cooked. ki dly guide. tqvvm
Have you ever used soapmakingfriend instead of soapcalc? For me it's a lot easier for dual lye soaps. Thx for this video...great tutorial
No but I’ve heard good things!
TY Mrs. Soap and clay for all your hard work and showing us all these beautiful creations!!! That being said I made the paste and all the things…. Made the whipped soap and it’s amazing! The only issue I am having is that when I add sugar the consistency changes😭😭 What am I doing wrong???!!!!
Hello! What extract would you suggest to use with this recipe? I'm going to gather up ingredients to try and make this! It looks amazing 😁
Hey! You can really run with any extract you’d like; buckthorn is good for hair softening, aloe and chamomile are good for skin repair. Loads of others would be great in this too, though!
Gonna go order this now! Im also still in love with the red clay face bar, but I gotta try this cream soap! It's calling my name lol.
Oh, you should wait a minute before you do that - you’ve got two giant boxes of stuff heading your way this week! 😂
Aye Aye Capitan! 😄
Great tutorial! Other cream soap batches have left my skin sticky. Any suggestions?
After you heat up the paste, add the water and steric, do you allow to cool before starting the blend to add glycerin and such?
Also aprox how much clay?
I would like to give this a go but do not want to add to much clay and it be to dry. With that said can it be a blend of clays such as bentonite, or French green, or even a blen of clay & and col. oatmeal?? Mica?
Would Dead Sea mud be an allowable replacement ?
Oh no… I’m so confuse about the 2 lye calculations …😅 would you mind explaining it a different way please? So sorry my brain…😳
Do you have a favorite soap calc ap? I find some will not give both options. One will not even allow me to change the weights after adding in percentages.

Thank you for this recipe, it looks amazing. Question please?? Reconstituted soap paste with distilled water, it needs a preservative yes??
Technically the pH isn’t conducive to bacterial growth so no, but in general I recommend adding a preservative to liquid soaps or scrubs anyway to ensure the end user has a good experience.

Hello Mrs Soap and Clay. One of the ingredient is Shave croux? Did I hear that correctly? Can you explain please? Thanks.
Hey! So this product is called a shave croap. It's a combination of shaving cream and shave soap.
@@MrsSoapAndClay Thank You so kindly. I’ll do some research. I love your videos and have been following along. Thanks again!!

Do you need a preservative for this recipe??
Is the extract a must?
Is it possible to make this with a handheld mixer?
What temp do u put your crock pot on? Thank u!
Do you need to add a preservative to this. I didn't see you add any
Not for this one, but you can add a preservative to nearly anything if you’re more comfortable!

You are welcome ,amazing cream soap and you look beautiful on that dress? blouse?
