Cool- I am looking forward to trying out this method for my soap making. I have had a couple of times when the oils were too hot and burned my goat's milk so I am hoping that by using this method, I can be more successful with my soaps!
I just made my first heat transfer method today, and I found it easier for me. Thank you for sharing your video on this method. I am a disabled veteran with Epilepsy, so anything that makes it easier on me is great.
Thank you for sharing the heat transfer method! There are very few videos with this method and because I am a beginner it helps me because I only do the heat transfer method because it works best for me.
Hello Drue. I am very glad you find it helpful. The heat transfer method is very practical in deed. I have a playlist for cold process soap, if you are interested to watch. hugs ruclips.net/video/obdwL3jpPHI/видео.html
This is so satisfying to watch. I enjoyed it. I can see how much dedication and hard work you poured into it. I can't wait for more videos to come. Good job to you.❤👌
I could watch you soap for hours at a time. Your voice and music combine into a hypnotic melody. I would love to make this soap with goat milk (it’s what I have on hand). Would the percentages for goat milk work out equivalently in this recipe that you have posted? Thank you for sharing! Absolutely beautiful color combination also.
Thank you for such a great video. What temp is the mixture when you are adding the oils to the lye mixture? I can't get the batter to stay nice and "fluid" like yours is. It starts to harden before I am adding the colors. I just ruined 2 batches. What do you think I might be doing wrong? I can't get it the batter to stay nice and loose. Also did you cover the soap to let it dry overnight? Thank you again for sharing such a great video.
You are very welcome. Try increasing the ratio of liquid oils in your recipe. Also avoid stick blending too much and just mix in the fragrance with a spatula. This should help.
My question is at what temperature do you add the lye to the butters. I make big batches and my lye water is usually at 206F. I really want to try this method. Thank you in advance :)
Hello, thank you for the video. Does it matter what the temperature of the liquid oils is when you add them to the hard oils? My recipe has a high percentage of olive oil, so I imagine the temperature of the lye and hard oil solution would be hotter than what yours was.
Sara, every time I try the heat transfer method my soap accelerates. Sometimes I can't get a swirl out of it. I do have more hard butters in my recipe and less oils. Could that be the reason or am I doing something else?
Hi Crystal. Good to hear from you! Hope you are doing great. Try to increase olive oil (or soft oils) 40% olive oil 30% Coconut 20% Palm 5% Castor 5% Sweet Almond oil Let me know if this helps. Also maybe take a FO that doesn’t thicken up like love spell. :)
I’m a beginner and I have tried every method there is with cold process soap and the best method that has not only worked for me best but it also slows down the acceleration and gives me more time to work with the soap! It is a much more relaxing method because I can take my time. Sara is right as always! I would increase my olive oil. I use olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil and Shea butter! I has messed up many times before getting the recipe correct but once I did it is the easiest way to make cold process soap for me.
@@Lola-wb3vh very true dear Drue. Soaping very cool helps and increasing the liquid oils. Also what helps it to work with emulsion instead of stick blending to trace. Another thing I like to do is to blend in the fragrance just with the spatula. If you can use a fragrance oil that moves slowly that's a bonus. Typically florals are a fast mover. Love Spell types usually make the batter more liquid. hope this helps. have a great day
@@sarassoapSara thank you so much for your information! I just love watching your youtube channel! You are so very soothing to listen too and of course too see your creations is awesome as well!!!! You have a day great too!!!!!
@@georgiagem7689 you don't need to make them hard. But unless you have "no stir" palm oil, you will want to melt the entire bucket of palm oil and stir it really well.
Hello Mariah, very good question. This type of soap takes 4-6 weeks to cure. But the longer it sits the better it gets. (a bit like wine :) Are you starting out with soap making?
@@mariahlove7541 this is awesome. i have a very basic video that might be helpful for you. let me know if it helps. ruclips.net/video/BFj5KH3tkEw/видео.html
@@pamgolabek8104 ok here is a good one www.brambleberry.com/calculator?calcType=lye you just type in the recipe and it will calculate lye and water amount. hope it helps. have a great day
It’s a game changer in terms of saving time. I didn’t try with cocoa but the melting point is around 38 Celsius and the lye solution is around 90 initially so it shouldn’t be a problem. Hugs Karen
Oh I forgot to mentioned an FYI, I clicked on the link to purchase the blender that you use. However, it is no available on Amazon; and there is no indication it will be restocked.
I see. My experience is that those hand mixers with sturdy whisks are generally ok. The thick whisks that will make it through the still relatively hard ingredients. Hope this helps. Hugs

Here is one on donkey milk ruclips.net/video/Idqwm8eAfaE/видео.html
And yes i use the same recipe for the goat milk soap. I just replace the water with the frozen milk

lovely swirls, but they smell wonderful
Thank you so much. Yes this fragrance oil is amazing

Hi Eliane, you are very welcome. My soft oils where at room temperature but i added them later. Hope this helps. Hugs
@@sarassoap Thanks for your reply. Do you mean you waited for the lye and hard oils solution to cool a bit before adding the liquid oils?
Sara, every time I try the heat transfer method my soap accelerates. Sometimes I can't get a swirl out of it. I do have more hard butters in my recipe and less oils. Could that be the reason or am I doing something else?
Hi Crystal. Good to hear from you! Hope you are doing great. Try to increase olive oil (or soft oils)

Dear Sara, do you refrigerate the palm and coconut oils in order to make them hard?
no I don't. Here in Switzerland it is hard at room temperature, Unless during a very hot summer the coconut oil can get liquid.
@@sarassoap Thank you. I'm in Georgia in the US, so I will probably have to refrigerate them to make them hard.
@@georgiagem7689 you don't need to make them hard. But unless you have "no stir" palm oil, you will want to melt the entire bucket of palm oil and stir it really well.
I made this but i made the mistake of covering it up, so it cracked down the middle! I learn the hard way!
that is a good experience and will help you. Are you living in a hot area?
No the uk
How long does the curing process take for this soap?
Hello Mariah, very good question. This type of soap takes 4-6 weeks to cure. But the longer it sits the better it gets. (a bit like wine :) Are you starting out with soap making?
@@sarassoap hey yes im new to cold processing soap I’m trying to get the basics down before I try and make it and thank u

What is the measurement of lye? How much water to lye?
Hi Pam. It depends on what water discount you are using. Do you have a lye calculator?
No, I do not
@@pamgolabek8104 ok here is a good one www.brambleberry.com/calculator?calcType=lye
you just type in the recipe and it will calculate lye and water amount. hope it helps. have a great day
Ow this the cold methode you use lye
Yes it’s cold process soap
Beginner here
Anyone know the grams of lye and water for this recipe?
You need to run the recipe through a lye calculator
I've never tried this method, always scared that it won't melt the cocoa
It’s a game changer in terms of saving time. I didn’t try with cocoa but the melting point is around 38 Celsius and the lye solution is around 90 initially so it shouldn’t be a problem. Hugs Karen
