This one was mostly for me. But we sure pulled SOMETHING from those petals! 😂
I tried this and added rose petal powder on my soap batter. Wasn’t to happy about the color, but this soap feels amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this experiment. Definitely a keeper for special occasions.
A pound of rose petals and a pound of calendula flowers arrived today. Time to play with infusions!
Now I'm thinking about cotton fluff, milkweed, weeping willow fluff, and cattail fluff. 😁 You're killing me with all this thinking stuff! 😂
Let’s just try it all. 😂
@@MrsSoapAndClay if I can get all of this stuff… you bet I will! 😁
Milkweed? The seed pod fluff? That would be interesting because milkweed milk is toxic but the pods have so much silk. Definitely a new use for it!👍🏼 hope to hear about the outcome of you try it.
Oh and cotton wood tree fluff?!!!? Here in the great Midwest every summer that stuff is floating in our pools, catching in our air vents, pooling in the corners of our fences… I am so SO going to try to make something good of all that!!!😂😊
@@anitahalme1917 ah ha! Yes! I knew I was missing something. I’m in SE Michigan… we get plenty of cotton wood fluff. Oh! And the neighbor across the street has a magnolia tree… maybe they’ll let me take some flower petals. And the catalpa blooms. Too bad we don’t have the purple robe locust anymore. Those flowers are so fragrant and beautiful.
I recently did a batch of soap using a rosewater that I made by slowly boiling rose petals in distilled water until all the petals lost there color. The water was a deep vibrant red, and sooo fragrant. My whole house smelled of roses. However when mixed into a lye solution it turned green. And got the same orange oil that wouldn’t mix in my batter. My soap was army green, a cured into a creamier green, very fascinating batch of soap, and none of the rose scent survived saponification. One of my favorites experiments. And I absolutely love the way it performs!
Very happy you did this. I have been wondering about infusing rose petals for a while. Thanks. I am going to try it.
You are basically extracting a rose absolute from the rose petals by using the lye as a type of solvent .Rose absolute dissolve in alcohol and oils but not water so maybe it’s the water content in the batter that is keeping the absolute from completely dissolving into the oils … Absolutely amazing experiment. Try using fresh rose petals the next time to compare batches 😊
Yes, please, do a mushroom one!!!!! I love this idea for hacking rose oil. These experiments are awesome!
My husband occasionally gets hold of some magic mushrooms... a few of those are going to accidentally fall into a batch of lye sometime soon lol. It has to happen. There's no way around it!
I am really enjoying this infusion experiment this week it has been so fun watching all of it.
Gosh I love that chair 🥰🥰🥰 And aren't you becoming so tech savy. Yeah baby!!!! How cool was all that rose petal oil. I just experimented too with rose petals but grounded them down in nutra bullet to more of a gritty powder and chucked them straight into my raw batch as like a slightly exfoliating soap. Still only a week into curing so keen to test it in few weeks. So much fun with all "The Things" as you say lol to see what we can put into soaps. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've put snow fungus in my soap and I loved it. Procuded bars with beautiful slip. I call them my collagen/hyaluronic soaps😊 and love using it on my face.
❤ so much inspiration ❤ i have been wanting to get started for a long time, gathering equipment and recipes, had been thinking outside the box with things like banana peel and then saw your clip on that and that was the moment i felt ready to charge ahead .... I have rose petals drying and because i was collecting them in bud i also collected the pollen granules with he thought they would make a gentle exofliating ingredient.... ❤
It's always fun trying something new ❤️
Oh this is a cute rose mushroom!! 😍
I do like the way the colors came out.
I'm loving it!! ❤️
That outline is everything though! It came out so cool!
It’s super fun, right?
@Soap & Clay Absolutely! I can't wait to experiment with some botanicals.
It’s a toss up between the Pizza Hut logo hat and the leg lamp from “A Christmas Story.” I love the experimenting type videos. Awesome job! 😊
I’m voting for leg lamp.
I Infuse my herbs including roses in my oils. I have a suggestion for you to try because I find it's lovely in soap. I don't know if you tried it. I love the feel of coconut water in soap. It gives it a nice slip and silky feeling to the soap. I stopped putting silk in my soap, I hardly felt a difference with in my soap. I find a great deal of difference when I put coconut water in my soap. It doesn't take much at all to get that nice feel.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. It's been fascinating to go on this journey with you.
When the rose pteals are infused in oil. Can you smell the rose in the soap after curing time?
@@catchthis7563 no, there is a slight scent of rose before you mix up with it but afterwards it just smells like soap. My favorite rose scent is Maiden Rose from nurture soap. None of my flower infused soaps smell like the flower I Infuse them with.
The most interesting infusion is hibiscus. It starts out as a beautiful pink then it hits the lye and it turns a vibrant green and then it turns a dingy khaki color.
When I think about it rose hips really don't have a very strong Rose scent. They're really good for you and full of vitamin C but you don't really smell the rose.
@vixenligon1167, do You use the coconut water in the lye solution or add it to the oils ?
I want to try the mushrooms in the lye now! I have a boat load of dried ones, all kinds...my gears are turning...yup I'm going to do it. Thank you for the inspiration and another awesome video!
Love it! Let me know how it goes!
@@MrsSoapAndClay for sure!!
Not even two hours after watching this, I found myself dumping a handful of chamomile flowers into my lye solution😂 but you know what, there was yellow-ish oil on top of my lye solution. These experiments are so inspiring
I’m so glad you’re experimenting! Have the MOST fun.
I put mushroom powders in my soap batter - haven't tried in the lye solution. I found super fine mushroom powders at my local Grocery Outlet for very cheap. Great quality and not at all gritty in the final soap.
I infused fresh red roses in olive oil it turned it a dark brown too it did smell a little bit
I have to show my daughter your Taylor Swift shrine. She’s a major fan 😂 I respect TS but I’m still that 14 year old goth albeit I’m 56. Although I do enjoy me a Celtic Women concert. No idea what I’m talking about. Ok rose oil. Something I can’t plunk down dollars for. Full strength anyway.
Ha! Check out Taylor’s Folklore/Evermore albums. Very beautiful.
I use a jasmine rose herbal tea in my lye solution but I brew the tea first and strain, now you’ve got me wondering what would happen if I dumped the tea into the lye solution…. This will be happening this weekend
How cool! Does the lye have to be hot, or do you think the same results can be achieved with master-batched (room temp) lye solution? The rind at cutting was interesting. I'm guessing that it spread to the rest of the bar?
Book notes??? Did my heart just skip a beat???
I would LOVE a mushroom soap video. I love mushrooms and somehow found myself with about 10 different mushroom powders and um… that’s too much 😂 I need to do something with them
That’s a lot of mushroom powder. Sounds like you need to put it to use!
@@MrsSoapAndClay I use several in powdered face masks or even add some to smoothies for added benefits. Would love to see how they perform in soap but I’m always scared to waste product if things go left lol
I have bags of rose petals I have been experimenting with I infused the oils and tea for water never thought of putting petals into lye cool
I recently did a chaga mushroom with nettle soap infused the oil and tea for water made a very hard bar I'm thinking it was the oils and butters I used causing such a hard soap with that being said it took forever to trace
I have been surprised by the amount of oil that the rose tea made when applying that way
That mushroom soap sounds delightful!
Corn silk would be a great substitute
I live in corn country and I have used corn silk. Works well
I read about it being a good substitute but I have not try it yet lol 😂 I live in Oklahoma so I know I can find it here
Oh I was like ... WAIT THATS ME LMAO
Ha! It was YOU! ❤️
Try corn silk😁❤
Ha! I got it, it’s coming. 😂
WOAH we're in the office today. Woah.
Everybody panic!!!
how about fresh petals have you tried that
What do you do with all the testing soaps you make?
A lot of them are soaps that make it into my line, others are in gift sets for the Sudsers, others get tossed or turned into cleaning products.
interesting it looks like an icecream cone.
But does it smell like roses?
Hey! I used a rose fragrance so it sure does!
I think it's better to make a "rose tea" and then use that with the lye🤷♀️.
Also infuse the oils with the petals.
Yeah I’ve mostly worked with teas, and never tried it this way. The bars and experiences were wildly different, and I was impressed by the sheer amount of oils that came from the petals in the infusion. Definitely different, but I would never be arrogant enough to say that one is better than the other. 😂
