I grow my own rosmary and would love to try this out! I think I might use a pestle and mortar to grind up the rosmary into a powder so that it doesn't scratch my skin though.
I grow my own rosemary too and LOVE the smell and taste of it plus the benefits it offers but I’ve been told not to use it fresh in soap cause it will last a couple of weeks before going rancid and this effecting the soap too. I’m also a cp soap maker!

Help you smell like roasted lamb. yeah. Non of the natural leaves and spices are beneficial all what you hear from "natural" health guru is bullshit. If it's not concentrated chemical, it has no use topically on your skin or hair. It's just waste of food. I dont' know why it's so hard to grasp this fact for white people. They think green tea will make them live long like Asians. They also think that coffee or eating avocado will make them healthy. The tv is showing people how to be stupid, and turned them into greedy.Specially that tv man is another white man bullshiting like Dr. OZ. White people, if there is something wrong with you, the only thing that work is chemical synthetic drugs. Stop wasting food. You won't live long, or have young face because you heard somebody on tv say so.
@@samlsd9711 do you know that, for example, salicylic acid for aspirin was found first in a plant? This plant can still be used against headaches. You can't use plants for serious illnesses like cancer or diabetes, that is true. But for some harmless things like a cold or headache, plants can actually help.
@@annabolika8919 Lycopene, found in tomatoes, is used to cure breast cancer!!! And, garlic and ginger used to be used to cure pneumonia!!! Saying that "plants only help a little bit" is a severe understatement, my friend!! Also, I believe diabetes doesn't require any cure; all you have to do is eat low GI carbs when you eat carbs, and keep your insulin sensitivity high(insulin treatment requires injections, though, unless you play your cards right with health). Also-also, most cancers can be prevented via eating a plant-based diet and lowering red meat intake; therefore, plants help with that too, in a way.😂 Last thing: I never knew of that plant you mentioned!!!!

I’m a beginner soap maker, which I started as a Therapeutic journey from my recent 3 orthopedic surgeries within 17 months. I found your channel and I immediately purchased your eBook! I’m now standing up firmly and walking again….so I am able to make soap with my kids. I also started growing my own herbs on my deck to use in cooking, custom tea blending and natural soap making. Gardening is so therapeutic and calming. Thanks for all you share…❤️🙏🏽 🌿
That looks like a great soap recipe. That is something I deffinatly want to try! The small batch seems less daunting too. Thank you for sharing this video. It was very good!
Small batches are far more practical for home use. They're not as expensive to make and if anything happens, you can just start again without too much stress. I hope you enjoy making it one day :)
Th and you for the video. I will look up the recipe. You are a wonderful teacher. Rosemary is one of my favorite scent. Thx again. Love and gratitude 🙏🏻❤️🤟🏻🌎👍
I love your blog and have already tried your neem oil soap recipe (my first soaping attempt and I’m loving it!). Thrilled to find your RUclips videos and am excited to try rosemary one!
Exactly what I was going to make when I was looking up how to make organic soap at home. Because I steeped some in water and used it on my face, it became very soft. So it could probably do the same elsewhere.
Your soap videos are the best! I'm about to start and yes I have seen your begining series. Make some more soap videos please. How about cucumber and aloe vera?
your soap videos were very interesting to watch thanks for showing us how to make your soap your recipes well definitely be a nice gift for the holidays coming up soon
Hi Tanya, I’m not sure you’ll see this as your video was uploaded a long time ago, but I read somewhere you need to be careful with the soap’s pH (must be between 8-10). How do you include this in your recipe? Thanks for your video, I’m only getting started so this was huge help! 🙏🏼 ✨
Please do a video on the purple soap alkanet root i think and lavender, or blue one please. I would love to see more soap videos from you. Thank you for sharing.
I have a tutorial online showing how to use alkanet root to tint handmade soap: lovelygreens.com/rose-geranium-soap-naturally-colored-with-alkanet-root/
Very inspiring and such a beautiful soap and recipe. Your calm, clear tutorial helps demystify the process. How best to clean the utensils? I haven't made cold process soap yet so am not sure about the cleanup process. Thankyou so much for a beautiful tutorial! 🌿
Low water herbs like rosemary are fine, providing they're chopped and you dont have a humid climate. Bacteria won't grow in alkaline environments like soap. The rosemary also dries out as the soap cures.
@@Lovelygreens thank you very much. Do rosemary leaves have actual strong smell in the soap after they cure? Or they are just for color. Did you try lavender leaves too?
Yes, if it's cleaned thoroughly. Lye doesn't soak into materials and doesn't contaminate properly cleaned equipment. I cover this in this in-depth article on soap making safety lovelygreens.com/soap-making-safety-lye/
i don't know how many times i've seen this but this is my first soap making video and made me excited to create my first soaps (not to mention, your garden videos are especially helpful). While sourcing for the ingredients for this, I realized the cambrian blue clay is hard to come by from where I am... is it okay to use other colorants for this, like french clays? what about micas?
Sure, all the time :) I have loads of ideas on my website here: lovelygreens.com/?s=beeswax I also make and sell beeswax beauty products: lovelygreens.co.uk/product-category/beeswax/
The expiration date of this soap is one year OR the closest 'best by' or expiration date of the specific ingredients you use. If you use a bottle of olive oil that expires in thirty days, using it to make soap will not prolong its life. Your soap will have that same expiration date.
Hi from Australia, love your videos and your palm free recipes. I have some doterra rosemary essential oil, (amongst others). If I was to use that in this recipe how much would I use? 4 tsp would use the whole bottle and that would make 6 bars of soap extremely expensive. Many thanks.
Tip. Buy rosemary, snip the bottom off to green part. Dip in some honey or root powder , wrap in cotton wool not tight then plant and water in soil. Hope and pray it takes and voila. Peace
Has anyone tried this? Does this dry out your skin? I find all soaps tend to dry out my skin and I generally have to stick to shower gels. But I do love rosemary a lot
From scratch, handmade soap doesn't dry skin out like mass-produced soap bars do. It's because most solid soap bars that you can buy aren't actually real soap - they're solid detergent bars (synthetic) that strip your skin of oils. I highly recommend that you buy bars of handmade soap to try out before you try making soap, though. In the USA, I recommend Muddy Mint, but there are plenty of other sellers out there, too.
Yes, it’s mainly to allow the water you use in the recipe to evaporate out of the bars. Curing also makes the soap more gentle on the skin. Use soap too early and it can be harsh and not last as long.
hi, i love the recipe and also the castille recipe on your page. do you think i can use the same recipe to make those soap whith the hot process technique???
Thank you for you videos! that's really helpful for newbies like me. however, i had one question. my soaps show very high alkaline content and i dont know what to do to lower it. please help!
It's called soda ash and is harmless. You can wash it off with water or remove it with a steam cleaner. It usually happens when there's a high water content in the recipe or you're soaping in a humid climate/environment. It's lye reacting with the air (carbon dioxide) and forming calcium carbonate.
Hello, I am interested in giving this recipe a go, but can I substitute the olive pomice oil for extra virgin olive oil? Also can I withhold using the sodium lactate? Please advise 🙏
Yes to both, however, the soap may be soft at first without the sodium lactate. Leave it in the mold(s) until it firms up a bit and it will be easier to remove. Could take a week.
Hi Tanya, I'm not sure you'll see my question because you did this video a long time ago. If I have spring water at my home (not city water) and it's filtered and goes through a UV filter too, is that ok to use or does it have to be distilled?

That will probably be fine! The minerals in water can cause the superfat to go rancid over time - causing, DOS (dreaded orange spot) in particular. Make a few small batches and keep some bars back for some months or longer. If you don't notice an odd scent or see small spots that look a little wet forming, then your water is fine.
@@Lovelygreens Thank you for your advice. I'll give it a go and see, and maybe just share the soap with family or friends who don't mind being experimented on! haha.
Thanks a lot I have made lavender soap but when we wash our hands the petals became rotted and changed the colour of soap! So I become afraid to put any herbs or petals in the saop
Once the lye has cooled down there’s no steam. That means you won’t accidentally breathe any in. As always, make sure to mix the lye solution in a ventilated place. Preferably outdoors.
Just wondered how solid the bars have been within a few hours and now I remembered that I have forgotten to ad the Shea butter! By doing this receipt I wondered how much lye could someone add in so less oils 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Thank you! Finally someone who added in some herbs and not just essential oil.
I love the way you explain everything. I have been making soap for 4 years and cannot ever keep in in stock. I make goat milk soap from our goats.🙂
That’s lovely :) Do you name your batches based on goat names?
S F do you have a website?
What preservatives do u used to increase the shelf life of the soap?????
@Welcome's House Oils do spoil
Can u tell me more
I grow my own rosmary and would love to try this out! I think I might use a pestle and mortar to grind up the rosmary into a powder so that it doesn't scratch my skin though.
I bet this smells amazing, rosemary is so fresh.
Oh yes! It smells incredible :)
I grow my own rosemary too and LOVE the smell and taste of it plus the benefits it offers but I’ve been told not to use it fresh in soap cause it will last a couple of weeks before going rancid and this effecting the soap too. I’m also a cp soap maker!

Is it best to use dried rosemary as opposed to fresh, will the soap go off quicker using fresh? Looking forward to making this 😀

You're very welcome, Robert!
I love your videos. You explain it very well. Easy to understand.
Can you put fresh herbs in the soap? I thought they should be dry to avoid bacteria and contamination
Low water herbs like rosemary are fine, providing they're chopped and you dont have a humid climate. Bacteria won't grow in alkaline environments like soap. The rosemary also dries out as the soap cures.
@@Lovelygreens thank you very much. Do rosemary leaves have actual strong smell in the soap after they cure? Or they are just for color. Did you try lavender leaves too?

Clay from Russia, best clay what I try. Amazing for face, just mix with water and apply on face till it’s dry
I don't know what is more lovely.......you or the soap!
Can you reuse the strainer in the kitchen for food purposes after it touches the Lye?
Yes, if it's cleaned thoroughly. Lye doesn't soak into materials and doesn't contaminate properly cleaned equipment. I cover this in this in-depth article on soap making safety lovelygreens.com/soap-making-safety-lye/

love this video, you make me so optimistic :) What other recipe do you recommend for acne and clearing acne scars and blackhead? thank you
For how long we need to let it dry complete until is safe to use for skin please!
Is there another clay you could suggest for substitution of the one you use? Just in case we cannot get the one you use. Thank You!
You can use most colored clays for this recipe 🙂 Make sure they are cosmetic grade though
Can you use fine chopped rosemary to make bar soap scrub. Medicine causes extra dry skin need scrub soap bar. Would like rosemary if possible

Soap making looks kinda like hard work but also so much fun :O
Hello from London. Really good video. Perfect explanation. What it the PH level for this soap? Thank you so much. Have a lovely weekend 🙂👍
So when you finish making the soap, you have to wait for 4 weeks to use it?
Yes, it’s mainly to allow the water you use in the recipe to evaporate out of the bars. Curing also makes the soap more gentle on the skin. Use soap too early and it can be harsh and not last as long.
Hello thank you for your videos - we do not have blue clay here,could,I use the white,or,green clay ? Thanks
Yes, take your pick!
Will the soap last long as it has fresh rosemary??? won't it get mould.

Thank you for you videos! that's really helpful for newbies like me. however, i had one question. my soaps show very high alkaline content and i dont know what to do to lower it. please help!
All soap is quite alkaline and most are between 9-10. Don't sweat it if your recipe is accurate 👌
Great video. I have white film/layer forming on the top of my soaps? Any idea why?
It's called soda ash and is harmless. You can wash it off with water or remove it with a steam cleaner. It usually happens when there's a high water content in the recipe or you're soaping in a humid climate/environment. It's lye reacting with the air (carbon dioxide) and forming calcium carbonate.
I wanna know where you got the mixers from especially the tiny one it was so cute
Hi this soap looks amazing but I’m a bit of a novice would it come out exactly the same if I doubled up on everything? 😊

Hi Tanya, I'm not sure you'll see my question because you did this video a long time ago. If I have spring water at my home (not city water) and it's filtered and goes through a UV filter too, is that ok to use or does it have to be distilled? I was able to find one place in southern England that sold it online cheap but it still wasn't a very big bottle. We're still isolating so I'd have to buy it online. Lots of other questions but I'll start with that one!

That will probably be fine! The minerals in water can cause the superfat to go rancid over time - causing, DOS (dreaded orange spot) in particular.

I have made lavender soap but when we wash our hands the petals became rotted and changed the colour of soap! So I become afraid to put any herbs or petals in the saop
Thank you for the video. Newbie here. Was the strainer metallic? What did you do to prevent inhalation of the lye?
Once the lye has cooled down there’s no steam. That means you won’t accidentally breathe any in. As always, make sure to mix the lye solution in a ventilated place. Preferably outdoors.
Thank you for the information. You certainly have a lot of interests. Much like my wife and daughter. Great job!
I do! They mainly centre on GROWING first and then either eating or making :) I love being involved in the full cycle of making.
Just wondered how solid the bars have been within a few hours and now I remembered that I have forgotten to ad the Shea butter!
By doing this receipt I wondered how much lye could someone add in so less oils 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Thank you tina
hi, great video, can you make natural soap without lye? Doesnt sound natural
All soap is made with lye. Without it, all you have is oil.
Thank you for the great video!
Is this soap for the whole body too?
