Sorry to ask ma ...can i prepare my soap base with the black soap,herbs and other soap like ozone,anti pimples soap,ball soap? Mix them and use as my base for this recipe?
@@annacrystal3023 Hello...I have seen videos where different soaps are combined. I personally don't use any of that. I only use African black soap. You may want to do some more research if you want to add other soaps. Herbs are usually ok depending on what you want to add. Hope this helps
You are one out of a few that strained the liquid African Black Soap from the impurities (or particles ). Yay!! You know what you're doing. Awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the update about the sunflower. I was trying to figure out how to omit it and keep the same consistency. Also, thank you for one of the most detailed and best videos for liquid black soap. I think you're the first one I've seen that added a preservative. 🙂
Thank you for sharing your recipe, I did not see any measurements for adding guar gum liquid with the glycerin and the liquid Germell plus please advise. I have been liquidizing black soap for about twenty years. I find that there is always something new to learn.
Just stumbled on this video which I thoroughly enjoyed and have subscribed to your channel. I gained more insight from your response to several comments. Thank you.
@OceNatural I tried this recipe and even used a smaller quantity of guar gum. It was well dissolved but kind of formed gelled up specs in my liquid soap? What could have happened?! I’m just going to purchase from your website now!
Awesome video,thank you for sharing 🤗. I do have a question, I have liquid black soap, how does that work in this recipe? Would I still need to add the distilled water?
Hi! Yes it can . I make my own citric acid solution because you can’t buy it in liquid form . Here is a video showing how to make and use citric acid solution ruclips.net/video/t4EyaJwVcYA/видео.html
Hi! You can use a converter from wholesale supplies plus and it converts from grams to %. Here is the link it gives directions how to do it www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/calculators/Percentage_Calculator.aspx
For some reason the soap isn't foaming up for me. I did two different 2oz samples and it's extremely slippery and no foam/ lathering. Do you know what could be wrong?
The skin on the face is more delicate than the body and black soap has been known to be drying on the skin . This black soap wash can be used on the hair ,face and body but my recommendation is for the body it’s just my personal preference . If you don’t find black soap drying you can use it as you like . Hope this answers your question.
@@onlineblockrosary9606 you can add extra oils to moisturize. What we make should be good for our face and body since it’s all connected. I wash my face with black soap. In that case there would be no need for diy videos showing us how to promix black Soap. Again, just add extra oils to keep your skin moisturized. I made a black soap and Tumeric scrub, it came out wonderfully. 🌹
Unfortunately you can’t lower the ph to that range. Black soap is alkaline and when you lower the ph to that range it is going to lose its ability to cleanse the skin as it has already gone through the saponification process .
@Llovee Riley, it can be used as a shampoo, just add extra oils to moisturize. I made some shampoo from Sandra Burnett’s video and it worked well. I also added a thickener. I added my infused fenugreek oil and some other oils.
@@CougarLyfe Awesome. I always formulate my shampoos differently than the body washes. For this recipe its a body wash recipe as I have other hair shampoo recipes. Glad your recipe turned out great!
Hi . Yes you can use emulsifying wax too but I don’t like the way the consistency of the black soap . I no longer use emulsifiers in my black soap wash only Xanthan gum
@@chinyzurc9790 please refer to the description box for the updated notes . I no longer use emulsifiers in my black soap . If you want to please refer to the usage rate for emulsifying wax from the supplier as they all have different rates .
I want to make a large quantity and I messed it up bcos I didn't have a good measurement for the guar gum, so bcos the guar gum didn't really give me the thickness I wanted after adding and adding I was advised to add some thickening chemicals, during mixture again it became too much and when I used it on the hair , it's not foamy and it's has this tingling feeling that is really uncomfortable Please I want to start over again please give me a measurement for more bigger production like 10liters to 20 liters, I mean for guar gum. Thank you in advance I will appreciate if you reply me.
I would not recommend that for the black soap . If you were making a regular body wash with surfactants then yes. You can either skip the emulsifier and use only a thickener like Xanthan or guar gum for this black soap
@@OceNatural I'm glad i always scroll through comments cuz' i just asked this question a short while ago because i have ewax...so I'll just go ahead & purchase xanthan gum

Thanks for the video. I'm in need of this type of DIY, videos because I am not trusting the big companies are making quality products anymore.

I made your formula and it was amazing. Bye bye harsh soaps. 😊
Please can I add Cetyl Alcohol and emulsifying wax in my black soap

Great video, thank you so much.. The particles go towards exfoliation. Optional to strain.
You are welcome . Thanks for watching
Sometimes the particles might have splinters which might tear your skin...so u have to be careful

What skin type can use these soap
Love this where is your patreon
Is this also used as a shampoo? Also could Crothix be added to thicken as well?
Didn't see the quantities in the description.
Great upload ♥️
How did u make the citric acid solution please???
Thanks so much. Here is a link to a helpful video that shows how to make it. ruclips.net/video/WcXGTTM3esg/видео.html
What is the normal pH for bathing soaps and wash
Love your video. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed!
Thanks so much . Welcome 💕
Please Ma'am after melting the butter/oil.... should the black soap water be heated as well or should it be at room temperature ???
I don't reheat my black soap water it is at room temperature when I add in my oils/butter
@@OceNatural Thanks alot💗💗
Thank you for a very helpful video! Learnt LOADS!!! Blessings 😊🤗😇
Awesome ! Happy you found it helpful
I really like the idea of his recipe. Thank you so much sis. If i don’t have lecithin what other substitution can I use?
Thanks so much . You can try polysorbate 20. With black soap you can use the Xanthan gum if that’s all you have and it should be sufficient .
This is interesting, thank ma, please I need the description
Please check the description box
Alright ma thank you so much
Awesome video,thank you for sharing 🤗. I do have a question, I have liquid black soap, how does that work in this recipe? Would I still need to add the distilled water?
You are welcome thanks for watching . Yes you still need to dilute the black soap with the distilled water . You would use 96g of liquid black soap .
Hello, can the powdered citric acid be used? If so would I just add it to my oil phase? I cannot seem to find a liquid citric acid solution
Hi! Yes it can . I make my own citric acid solution because you can’t buy it in liquid form . Here is a video showing how to make and use citric acid solution ruclips.net/video/t4EyaJwVcYA/видео.html

@@OceNatural Thank you so much you are amazing!!!!!!😍😍🥰
For some reason the soap isn't foaming up for me. I did two different 2oz samples and it's extremely slippery and no foam/ lathering. Do you know what could be wrong?
And if you do not lower the ph level ? What going to happen
Can you use aloe vera powder instead of gel?
Yes you can
Is it always best to check the ph balance before adding the preservative to the mixture?
You can add your preservative when making the wash and then adjust the ph as needed or you can do it at the end after adjusting the ph
Hey my love, how long does the guar gum take to thicken up in the mixture?
Can i use stearic acid for thickener
Can i also use ewax as an emulsifier
This just what I needed!!
Awesome ! Glad you found it helpful
Why not recommended as a face wash? What is the difference from face wash?
The skin on the face is more delicate than the body and black soap has been known to be drying on the skin . This black soap wash can be used on the hair ,face and body but my recommendation is for the body it’s just my personal preference . If you don’t find black soap drying you can use it as you like .

@@OceNatural ok. Thank u. Any recipe for face wash?
@@onlineblockrosary9606 you can add extra oils to moisturize. What we make should be good for our face and body since it’s all connected. I wash my face with black soap.

What can I exchange for the aloe Vera gel?
Awesome video. Can you also use african white soap to make this. Thanks again
Thanks so much. Yes you can
Can I use polysorbate 20 or 80 instead of the sunflower lecithin?
Did it separate after standing for 24 hours
If you don’t use SL what are you using? The recipe below has 5g of it in there
For my subsequent washes I make I don’t use SL in my black soap . For the recipe in this video it has the SL but I have since stopped using it .
What can be used to replace the distilled water?
You can use aloe vera
Can I use arrow root powder instead of guargum please?
You can try salt if you don’t have guar gum
Can you add anything to this to produce more lather?
@@TheOfficialEssential I think Coco betaine can be added
Can you lower the pH to a range between 4-5 and will that affect the efficacy of the product?
Unfortunately you can’t lower the ph to that range. Black soap is alkaline and when you lower the ph to that range it is going to lose its ability to cleanse the skin as it has already gone through the saponification process .
@@OceNatural Thank you, I appreciate your response 😊
is this ok as a shampoo?
Its a body wash

Hello, if you can’t get sunflower lecithin, can you use normal emulsifying wax for lotions?
Hi . Yes you can use emulsifying wax too but I don’t like the way the consistency of the black soap . I no longer use emulsifiers in my black soap wash only Xanthan gum
@@OceNatural to substitute SL for emulsifying wax nf we add The same amount used the sunflower lecithin? Or it has to be less or more emulsifying wax?
@@chinyzurc9790 please refer to the description box for the updated notes . I no longer use emulsifiers in my black soap . If you want to please refer to the usage rate for emulsifying wax from the supplier as they all have different rates .
@@OceNatural so if you use the xanthan gum does that mean you won't need an emulsifier
Is it possible to put this in a foaming bottle dispenser or is it too thick to foam? Great recipe!!!!
It’s going to be too thick . If you want a foaming wash remove the thickener. Thanks for watching !
@@OceNatural thank you!!!
So Sunflower Lecithin acts like emulsifying wax? (Binding oils nd water 2gether) ??
Yes it does
@@OceNatural incase i dont have it
Can i use any other wax like pola wax
@@kyriedavid5667 Polawax is best for lotions and creams. You can use Xanthan /guar gum or any other thickener instead .
@@OceNatural oh thanks
@@OceNatural you said u no longer use the sunflower stuff in ur black soap wash ...and now it in the recipe..how??
I want to make a large quantity and I messed it up bcos I didn't have a good measurement for the guar gum, so bcos the guar gum didn't really give me the thickness I wanted after adding and adding
I was advised to add some thickening chemicals, during mixture again it became too much and when I used it on the hair , it's not foamy and it's has this tingling feeling that is really uncomfortable

Grams
@@OceNatural Thank you!!
I read “thick and creamy” and automatically clicked on the video
I made liquid ABS from Crumbles. As soon as I added optiphen it thickened up a lot! Have you experienced this?
I haven’t experienced this . You have to look at all the ingredients in your formulation. But I personally haven’t experienced this .
Yes I noticed it thicken up so much ....
Is this ok as a face wash?
I would recommend as a body wash .
What if I'm using an emulsifier which is solid at room temperature?
I would not recommend that for the black soap . If you were making a regular body wash with surfactants then yes. You can either skip the emulsifier and use only a thickener like Xanthan or guar gum for this black soap
@@OceNatural I'll try that out. Thank you.
