Melt and pour soap has also chemicals and tons of preservatives, some of them contain SLS and SLSA. If you really want 100% natural soap, better make your own base at home using Lye.
Nivedita Mitra The lye converts the fatty acids and creates the soap during saponification. So the final soap has no lye in it. 😊 Melt and pours have way more chemicals in them. Pure homemade soap is always best. 😉

Sophie Uliano im about to attempt to make it now but adding lavender ans its for my mother inlaw - I will email or share to your Facebook page how it turns out. Iv decided to use Bentonite Clay and calendula oil :)
You can just mix it with 91-99% rubbing alcohol (3 TBS). The whole point is to simply turn the clay into a liquid that can be mixed with the soap. As the soap dries, all alcohol evaporates and none is left in the bar.
Hi Sophie, I have always been told that by people when I first started making DIY beauty products. Here is one article I found and another that had directions to not use metal utensils. Sorry I can’t link them, having issues with my phone. Rose Clay mask is perfect for a brighter, softer, more glowing skin. It encourages cell renewal, and improves skin elasticity. It is suitable for all skin types, as both rose and white kaolin clays are gentle on your skin. The rose petal and chamomile powders both have anti-inflammatory properties and soothe irritated skin. Notice how incredibly soft your skin becomes after a weekly rose clay mask. INGREDIENTS: White Kaolin Clay, Rose Clay, Organic Rose Petal Powder, Chamomile Powdered Extract. DIRECTIONS: Use ½ to 1 tbsp. of clay mix. Add water, a few drops at a time, to form a smooth paste (thin if needed). Apply to face, avoiding eye area. Let dry. Rinse off. Apply moisturizer. Note: Do not use metal utensils or containers when preparing a clay mask: When the clay is activated by water, it acts like a magnet, pulling metals and toxins in.

Hi again, Sophie. I just wanted to add that I absolutely LOVE your videos. I’ve tried making a few of your products and I love them. Thanks for so generously sharing your recipes.😊
You can. I make soaps all the time, melt and pour and cold process. I prefer goats milk for the melt and pour, its hardens well and makes tons of bubbles.
Hi Sophie, I'm from Guatemala and I like and enjoy your videos, OMG the soap looks delicious like cookies, a big hug for you. !!!!

hi your soap looks lovely could eat it lol, one question does adding the extra oils will not reduce the larther in the soap?
They do not! Add away!
natalie stewart no more than 1 Tbs per lb on soap. more than that and you risk messing with the base too much and it may not lather well
They do after 1 Tbl per pound.
LOL @ the eye roll around 4:01... Heeheee!'
Hi Sophie..nice soap recepie...but please tell if adding natural ingredients like oats wouldn't grow bacteria or fungus in the soap.
No - but keep it out of the shower stall in between use.
How do u start your own business from this??? 🧐🧐 .. tips please!!!!!
How to make soap base for melt and soap?
Melt and pour soap has also chemicals and tons of preservatives, some of them contain SLS and SLSA. If you really want 100% natural soap, better make your own base at home using Lye.
And lye is also a chemichal. Better use fuller earth as substitute of soap. Soap always contain a minimum amount of chemicals.

Hi !! Nice video and how can I make a coffee soup bar for body.
Just add ground coffee in the mellted base and pour in mould.
Why didn’t you use the glycerin with the second part of the soap mixture??
The glycerin was used to mix the clay into a paste for easier mixing
Can you use goats Milk melt and pour
Can I use bentonite clay or diatamecdiatomaceous Earth Clay and sweet almond oil with the vit e oil
Sure!
Sophie Uliano im about to attempt to make it now but adding lavender ans its for my mother inlaw - I will email or share to your Facebook page how it turns out. Iv decided to use Bentonite Clay and calendula oil :)
In regards to the rose clay is there an alternative to the vegetable glycerin ?
You could try aloe vera gel
nice, thank you :)@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen

Is this bath soap or can use for face wash?
YES!
You should not use metal utensils when mixing the rose clay. The metal deactivates the healing properties of the clay.
I didn't know that! Do you have an article that backs that up?
