- After a few requests for a Tradies Soap, I thought it was time to get my idea from paper into a soap mould. This tradies soap is also great for gardeners and mechanics. It is filled with Pumice, Poppy seeds and Apricot Kernel powder along with Buttermilk powder and Fuller's Earth Clay and scented with a fresh blend of Eucalyptus & Peppermint.

Thank you. This is going to be my Christmas present to my mechanic neighbours
Enjoy 🧡
This is a great idea. Let’s not forget hard working hands. Thanks.
I agree, hands and feet often get forgotten yet work so hard ❤
This looks like it would be divine on your hands after playing in the garden all day
Thank you 🧼
I've been using the scrap piece and it feels so lovely.
Excellent! I've been watching your channel for awhile now. My wife soaps too. Actually she'd kill me for that.... She formulates skin care products of which soap is one item, lol! I always get in trouble at craft fairs for saying something I shouldn't. Mostly telling people what an ingredient does. I think it's rediculous that there are so many rules on what you can claim. I use my wife's skin care and I know what it does for my skin! I'd never go back to store bought anything! My skin has improved greatly. I'll have to get my wife to formulate a "tradie" bar of soap. I am a gardener and we have several horse's. My hands stay dirty 80% of the time. Great video and I love watching!
I try to watch your videos when I can. I think its wonderful that you work as a team. Hubby tends to leave me be so he doesn't get in trouble 😆 I think it's such a shame we can't really promote our ingredients especially when they are commonly known benefits
Wow, those are some standup ingredients. I bet those tradies wile be all over that soap. Great job!
Thank you 🧼
Not only do you sound like a lovely person, but the way you care for others and your work shines through. Great lady, great soap !!
Thank you for your beautiful comment 🧡
Awesome!!
Thank you 🧼
I love this one. Simple and I'm sure it does exactly what it's intended for.
Thank you 🧼
As always, beautiful and full of goodness! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching 🧼
Looks great! !
Thank you 🧼
That soap looks perfect. I love everything you put in it. I bet is awesome 👏
Thank you ❤ I've used some of the scrap ends and it feels lovely
💖💞Some very wonderful benefits from this bar with all those impeccable ingredients! So lovely and nice!
Thank you 🧼 the scrap bits feel lovely
Good Morning!! I love a good gardeners soap. Beautiful
Thank you 🧼
O wow. That’s got all kinds of goodies In It. Good stuff!
Thank you 🧼
Great soap and ingredients!
Thank you 🧼
Wonderful soap for so many! I appreciate your sizing for a Product you intend to be used as a hand only soap!
Thank you 🧼
Going to make this today. My exfoliating ingredients arrived this week.
Have fun making 🧡
Beautiful Keeley, fantastic recipe
Thank you for 🧼
Just want to say that you are amazing. I could listen to you talk all day haha. Thanks for sharing videos with us
Thank you for watching 🧡
Beautiful and simple soap! I've been wanting to make a gardeners soap for some time now. I always forget to do so until I need it....like now...Fall is our best planting season where I live and it's when we do most of our outdoor work on our farm. For now some salt scrubs will have to do.
Thank you 🧼
You could always hot process one 😊 HP do benefit from a cure, but can be used straight away too
Great job! I love that you chose something else for fragrance than traditional orange
Thank you 🧼 I hadn't realised orange was the most common fragrance. I was almost tempted to do unscented
I love this soap! I haven't tried poppy seeds in my Mechanics Soap, but I use pumice and my nephew is a big rig mechanic and loves it. He likes the woodsy fragrance I use. Your bars will do well. Love how you cut them. Such a perfect hand size! Well done 👍
Thank you 🧼 I love the feel of Pumice - not a fan of scratchy ones.
What a great soap! Bet the tradies & gardeners etc will be swarming to you market stall for these, especially after trying it out the first time :) Thanks for all your great videos Keeley
Thank you 💚 it's definitely a popular soap
Great video...thank you .......this is very similar to one I make but as mine are vegan friendly I use coconut milk powder and I also use bentonite clay as well....same fragrance....almost same colour too ... I could be cheeky and say great minds think alike....lol..
Yours sound lovely with the coconut milk. Definitely great minds 🧼
I really like the color of that soap and the visual texture of your exfoliating ingredients.
My nephew works at a powder coating shop and I had given him some soap and one of his co-workers saw it in his bag and asked if he could try it. He was really impressed with how well it cleaned his hands and arms and didn’t leave him smelling like a girl (it was unscented). So I’m ordering some pumice and making a small batch for the guys to try out, going to leave it unscented.
Thank you 🧼
I was almost tempted to leave this unscented as I couldn't settle on a fragrance but love the freshness of peppermint and eucalyptus. Pumice makes such a great exfoliant without being too scratchy
Soy and Shea - Most ‘tradies’ as you call them in the US use either Lava Soap or one of those orange based hand cleaners; both do the job, but they are pretty harsh on the skin, very drying.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching
This is an excellent idea, mechanics and gardners and anyone working in a dirty job want hands clean but not so dry they flake and crack.
Thank you 🧼 Its definitely a problem my dad had as a mechanic - the soaps always dried his hands
@soyandshea Hi Keeley, great idea. May I suggest that for the Tradies and Mechanics, leave as one colour, but for the gardeners, use the same recipe, but do a drop swirl. Love the final product. :)
Thank you 🧼 that sounds like a great suggestion
I don't have Fuller's Earth Clay nor Buttermilk powder. I do have Coconut Milk Powder and Moroccan Red Clay. I just got my order of Pumice Powder from WSP and I have Poppy Seeds. I can get the Apricot Powder from a local vendor so you know I'm going to try my hand at this one! Loving it! Thanks for sharing. 🔥♥️🇹🇹
Have fun with it. Those additives sound gorgeous
@@SoyandShea thanks
Hi, So satisfying to see you adding those additives .. Enjoyed. TFS

Hello, I was asked today about a gardeners soap, so I am grateful for a fellow Aussie who is going to help me. I just need to work out the quantities as I am still new at that. Would love to keep in touch with you. Where in Australia are you? I am in Melbourne. Cheerio Marleen
Scrubby soaps are always a good seller. The amount of scrubby bits is dependent on the size of the soap you're making and how scrubby you want it. I'm halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Thank you for sharing. Is there a total standard amount of additives you can add to soap batter ppo ie, pumice, clays, apricot kernels.
Thank you for watching 💚 some ingredients have recommended usage rates like clay but for the most part there is no standard amount for many exfoliants. It's a personal preference
Off topic, but what kind of dog do you have? I like hearing about your life down under! This soap looks awesome, love the color.
Thank you 🧼
I have two dogs. My old girl (almost 13yrs) is a Springer Spaniel. The one you sometimes hear is only 4yrs and was meant to be a staffy rescue but at 42kg and almost half meter high, there is not much staffy in here 😆 if you follow along on Instagram I often post pictures of them in the stories
I am so excited for this soap. When is/will it be available on your website?
Thank you. This will be ready by this weekend 😊
this looks lovely, and I bet it smells great! Do you find that using exfoliants can damage your soap cutter?
It's always a popular bar. I don't find it damages the wires at all.
Exfoliation heaven and Fullers for the win... Never heard the word "Tradies" before you. Bonus on the turquoise color! ~ Curious, if you don't mind my asking: Why you selected fragrance vs essential oils?
I never really consider that "tradies" was a very Australian term. We like to shorten words here so it's short for tradesmen 😆
I mainly use the fragrance oils as I find they hold better in the soaps and also give me a price point that my customers are happy with. Occasionally I use Essential oils if I want their qualities in a soap but often the bars are smaller.
@@SoyandShea Thank you kindly for taking the time to respond. This soap is a beauty along with one of our favorite accents, yours, even if you shorten words ; P California adults, in our Boutique and online lean towards essential oils so was just curious. ~ Happy Soaping!
I am going to try this soap. It looks great. Is there a usage rate of the additives you added or is it subjective? Thank you.
It really is subjective to how scrubby you want the soap and which exfoliants you use. I usually always aim for 1-5%
@@SoyandShea thank you.
What would be a good substitute for palm oil as I do not have any?
Most people swap between lard and palm. Otherwise you need to play with a combination of maybe Rice bran and cocoa butter but make sure to rub through soapcalc
Have you used Bentonite clay in place of the fullers earth clay?
I have used bentonite in other products and others may use it in this style of soap. Personally I would use Kaolin if I didn't have Fullers. From my research, bentonite clay may help draw toxins and oils from the skin so would be better in products designed for people with oily skin. The Fullers and Kaolin absorb oils so may help to bind the oils built up from working and wash away easily.
I love this soap! My husband is a mechanic so I really want to make. Would it turn out if I don’t add the clay? I don’t have any and where can I get the powder. I really like your videos
Thank you. Which powder are you referring to and where are you located?
@@SoyandShea I was wondering about apricot kernel powder and fullers clay, also the buttermilk powder. I live in Canada and I'm not sure if I can get these. Is the buttermilk powder something you could get in the grocery store?
@@brendacruickshank9953 You should be able to get all those ingredients. I was first put on to Fullers Clay via a recipe from someone in the US and they gave resources for Canada too though I never kept that information sorry. Buttermilk powder can be obtained from grocery or health food stores. It's not as popular here in Australia but still readily available. If you use Google, I am sure options will come up for you on all ingredients. I had a quick look and easily found Apricot Kernel Powder on Amazon CA.
@@SoyandShea Thank-you this was really helpful. If I ever get back to Australia I'm going to look you up.
Hi. I make melt and pour soaps and id like to know if this type of soap can be made in mp
Hi, I don't see why not 😊 as long as you are keeping your ingredients under the recommended 1% for each of them. The only ingredients you may need to play with is the powders but you could get around that but using a milk based melt and pour.
@@SoyandShea Great thank you. Im going to try and play around with this and get a few friends to test it out.
And what kind of clay did you say again; Fullers?
Fuller's Earth
I used Fullers Earth clay🧼
How many grams of these each ingredients? Please.
This depends on you mould size. Percentages are in description
What is a tradies soap or a "Tradies" in general?
Tradies are people that work a trade like mechanics, builders, or other trades which involve getting hands dirty and greasy. They usually like an exfoliating soap that will get the dirt out of the hand lines.
@@SoyandShea oohh ok makes sense thanks for the explanation.
Hi Keely
Thank you 🧼
