I watch this video yesterday and then when into town today and just made 2 soaps thanks my dad wasn’t very happy that I wasn’t helping him with the cows but he liked it in the end. Thanks
good!
How’d they turn out?
Followed direction to a T and went off without a hitch! In the mold now, can't wait to see the cut!
Yay! So glad you tried it and it went well!
I usually add my pine right when I'm ready to pour, but I'm going to try it your way. Thank you.
If you can remember. How did it turn out?
Dr Squatch pine Tar was my first bar I've used and it's the best.
I just made my first batch. I think I put too much tea tree oil in it, it's quite strong, but I'm stoked nonetheless as with your help I was able to do something I had never done. I can only improve from here. Thank you for doing this video!!
You are welcome! I bet you'll find the fragrance fades a bit and you'll love it!
Tell me, did it smell nice? Pine tar out of the can is foul. But Pine Tar dr. Squatch is lovely.
I just made this! I just poured it in the mold but I think it's going to come out really good! I'm so excited! Thank you for this recipe
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
How’d it go?
Wonderful! ❤ I just made my first batch and it came out beautifully. God bless.
I really need to start doing this . Dr. squatch pine tar is phenomenal
Good to know about that pine tar product I just saw it on walmart's website too.. I was wondering whether it's a better deal to get into smelling like Dr. squatchs pinetar soap... I'll research to see if there is a safest pine tar on the market for skin application.. So far we know it shouldn't containt creosote and 1,4 dioxane, and that pine tar should be closed-kilned. ChatGPT says that I'd rather extract it's scent into any care products I want, which is very easy, and it gave me the steps on how to do it 😅
I can't believe I've never seen your channel before!!
I make this soap hot process but don't add the pine tar till is fully cooked. It works out great, thank you😊
FYI According to ChatGPT Pine tar soap has been used for centuries and can be a natural remedy for certain skin diseases. However, not all pine tar soaps are created equal, and some may contain toxins like creosote and 1,4 dioxane. To avoid these toxins, it is important to read labels and look for products that are creosote-free and do not contain certain chemicals like PEG. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid soaps made with open-kilned pine tar.
While all of this is true in this case, it should be noted that chatGPT is an unreliable source of truth. There have have been many instances where the AI presents fictional information as reality. Always fact check and vet information by reading multiple sources. ✌️
@@annatyburski6506 Yes, I know about biases. The way I use it is take huge articles and make it read through them. Then give me a VERY BRIEF answer of what's learned from them. It's like a shortcut through ponderous, days and days of reading in less than a minute. one time I learned everything I needed to know about Shakespeare without having to read his materials, I knew well what people learned from him. AI's are awesome extensions for our minds.. They're somewhat antidepressive too!
Great job gonna try this
Thank you for sharing, I’ll have to give this a try as I use and absolutely love DR. SQUATCH
Great video, thanks for uour time and effort. How cost effective would you guess it is to make these on your own. Is it worthwhile to buy everything i need to make my own or is it near the same price to just buy them at $6 a bar?
I'll answer my own question based on your blog
"I calculated the cost per loaf. My mold holds approximately 32 ounces and if I cut it properly I should get 8 bars of soap from the mold. If my math is correct the cost per bar is approximately $2.50. So there is actually quite a savings if you make this yourself versus buying the bars at $6 each!"
If you click through to the blog post I have a breakdown of the cost. I cannot remember off the top of my head.
I will be trying this I love pinetar
One of my friends got me a bar of soap from etsy that uses yogurt, eucalyptus, tea tree oil and mint, would you mind trying to make that one ?
LOOKS awesome
i love it
Hi love the idea how to make homemade soap always wanted to try it I was wondering would you know how to make that dr. Squatch wood barrel Bourbon
Great video
Where and how do I store this soap after cutting? Thx for the video. I definitely want to try this
I let it cure on a rack with good air circulation until it is completely cured 4-6 weeks. Then you can store it however you like. In a bag or a basket, or stacked on a shelf.
Lovely Pine tar soap!
Is there a way to make this but in liquid form? Like with potassium hydroxide?
Thank you and amazing video ❤
*Don’t mind trying to make a* *homemade Darkside scrub soap i’ll be very interested*
Can you do their jukebox soap as well
Looks like an awesome soap and I like Dr Squatch soap. I can't wait to make this soap, thank you for the recipe. Where did you buy the activated charcoal powder?
I added links in the description to most of the ingredients. I got the charcoal from Amazon
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 thank you. Another question on the 2 oz of essential oils, is that 2 oz each orange, pine and cedar? or 1/3 each of the three essential oils (.66 oz each)?
@@johnnybstuddd4482 The majority is pine, I don't remember how precise I was this time, 1oz pine and then split the other ounce between the two.
3:52 for everyone
Thanks for sharing, can you share the percentage of eo please, that you used.
Fun!!! Thank you for the video.
What size loaf is that?
It's 32 oz I believe!
THX ❤🎉
Good evening. I'm Travis. I love pine tar soap as well. So I decided to give it a shot in making my first soap. I followed your instructions and ingredients. The only thing I did differently was I mixed everything but the lye and didn't use ice. After mixing well and Keeping the mixture around 90 degrees. Then I added the lye. The temperature didn't rise fast at all. Took nearly 10 minutes to go from 90ish to 115 degrees. 120 degrees was the highest temperature. I noticed the lye took forever to dissolve. I'm not quite sure the lye was 100% dissolved. After 20 minutes or so it started to trace. I have a question for ya.
Should I mix the lye in just water? I think the lye will fully dissolve much quicker.
You should always dissolve the sodium hydroxide in water if that is what you are asking. Even if you don't freeze the water you should use the amount called for in the recipe. Is that what you are asking?
Can you do Fresh Falls?
I wonder oiling your pine tar bowl would make it easier to get the pine tar out
yes, I think it might
Hello! What could I use to add even more grit to this? Rock salt? Coffee beans? Any ideas appreciated. I love this soap
Hey there, I had the same issue with the soap, I found for the really tough dingleberries using a harbor freight sandblaster works great! Great soap besides that.
I would just add more of the pumice, or maybe don't grind the oatmeal as fine. Feel free to try any of your other suggestions as well.
Hello! Thanks for the video.
Question - in the video you say “fragrance oil” but in the written recipe you say “essential oil.” Which did you use? Thanks!
I used essential oil, but you could use fragrance oil
What % is the tar of the recipe?
Also, would the pot be safe for cooking food afterwards?
If you wanted a brown soap, would you just leave out the charcoal?
You can leave the charcoal out yes
How much did all the ingredients cost and about how many bars of soap does it make? Just getting into making my own soap and was wondering how cost efficient it was.
I break it all down in this post. theeverydayfarmhouse.com/pine-tar-soap-recipe-dr-squatch-copycat/
Really cool video! I should try this myself.
One question though why is there lard?
Because lard is readily available to me as we raise pigs. It makes a great soap too!
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722can you please tell me a good substitute if we are avoiding it? Thank so much!
@@nunyabiznass4702 You would need to run the recipe through a lye calculator for any changes that you make, you could probably use palm oil instead but be sure to double check the amount of lye needed if you change that ingredient!
@@nunyabiznass4702some substitutes for lard would be butters like cocoa butter or shea butter, or palm oil, or a combination of these
does it smell like pine if you would not have added the essential oil from the pine tar? ive never smelled pine tar
No, the fragrance from pine tar is more like a camp fire
Why would one add sea salt to a lye solution? I'm new soap making and I haven't seen that yet!
It's supposed to make the bar harder
Hey, how long did one block end up lasting? Cheers, love the soap 😁
It just depends how many bars you cut it into and how many people are using it!
Is this all natural?
love your work! im planning to make my own as well,
i am substituting lard with a mix of palm oil 55%, shea butter 30% and olive oil 15%, whats your thought on it? and for essential oil its 2oz of each essential oil or 2oz of combined essential oil?
Run those numbers through a lye calculator first to make sure you have the right amount of lye. I have definitely made lovely soap with those ingredients just always double check with a lye calculator any time you change a recipe!
IF YOU COULD PUT CEDAR SENT ALL SO,,,,,,IT WOULD BE A MILLION DOLLAR SENT,,,I promise you that!!!!
I been using Cremo's Blue cedar and Cyprus bodywash for years it's my favorite. It's the closest soap I've found that smells like a fresh cut cedar board.😂
If I want to make it a different smell can I just not add in the pine tar and add in what ever fragrance?
Yes, use whatever fragrance you like. The pine tar has a bit of a smoky fragrance.
Stupid question but are all the ingredients denoted in ounces by liquid ounces (measuring cup) or were some or all done by weight (precision scale)?
All by weight with a scale
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 thank you so much. I made my first batch of soap following your easy to follow instructions and they turned out wonderful.
their new maverick musk uses Saponified Oils of (Sustainable Palm, Coconut, Olive), Naturally Derived Fragrance, Shea Butter, Horsetail Extract, Sand, Brown Iron Oxide, Kaolin Clay, Sea Salt according to the ingredients.. do you think the horsetail extract is giving it that smell? not sure what they are adding to do "naturally derived fragrence".. thoughts? think I am going to try using your other copycat as the basic receipe..
I think their base soap is pretty much the same for most of their soaps. There are some really nice musk oils out there. I'm suspect of things that say "natural" you just don't know what that really means.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜
Is the lather dark? Does it leave a residue in the shower?
Yes and yes, it does make the shower messy, that I don't care for!
I am just learning how to soap. What is your water to lye when you put it in soap calc. I am ratio and grams girl so I have no idea how to put your recipe in soap calc🤪 I suppose that’d be a percentage?
What was yours? Thank you!
I'm sorry, I'm US and function in ounces. My understanding is 1 oz equals 28 grams. You could do the math of multiplying each ounce amount by 28. That would give you the grams. Also if you search there are some cheat sheets that give you the amounts already. I hope that helps!
Does this seize up as fast as when adding vanilla essential oils? I swear that is the FASTEST soap I have ever made.
I haven't tried that, but it's pretty quick
Are all the ingredients weight or fl oz?
weight
Could u make more of the doctor squach senses😅
Man dvck Dr Squatch, too damn expensive !!
MUCH ❤ 4 THIS RECIPE 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just out of curiosity, is it cheaper to make this or just buy the real thing from store? Never made my own soap so have no idea.
If you click through to the blog post, you can see the breakdown. It does come out to be cheaper but you will have an initial investment of materials and equipment. Hope that helps!
I don't know a thing about making soap let alone doing something more advanced like this, but... my brain makes interesting connections and I have to ask your opinion because I have a feeling future me will want to know the answer... would it work to infuse the pine tar into the castor oil before making the soap? Of course the infusion process takes a while... but ... I am remembering a video about pine pitch and how sticky it is.. the lady, April of She Is Of The Woods, showed that using a little bit of oil will have that pitch off your fingers in no time. Then saw you holding the castor oil and pour it in... with the pitch that got left behind in the bowl right behind your hand.... and then I remembered another of her videos where she was infusing the oil with pine pitch (and some other things)... so I got to wondering if an oil infusion with pine tar would work for soap making..... ??
I really don't know, I have never tried that!
you had "2 oz Essential oils (pine, cedarwood, and orange)" is 2oz each or a percentage of 2oz each?
2 oz total, a bit of each
Where do you purchase your pine tar from?
it is linked in the description
Just wondering how similar to the Squatch PT was it? I've made PT soap before but I went with a lard based recipe.
Hi! We found it to be very similar. I also used lard in my recipe although Dr Squatch recipe uses palm oil.
Silly question from a newbie - Could you use goats milk instead of the lard?
@@kelleyquigley4668 Nope, you could use milk instead of water but you would want to freeze it first. Oils can only be replaced with oils and you must recalculate the lye with a lye calculator.
For the fragrance- how close is it to the Dr Squatch brand?
very close!
Would this be cooking lard? I know this may be a dumb question but I’m new at making soap
Not a dumb question at all! Yes, you can usually find lard in the cooking section with other oils!
Can you buy super fine ground oats or use oat powder, or do you grind them yourself?
Either option works!
What can I use to substitute the lard portion?
If you click through to the blog I believe I give the amounts if you want to substitute palm oil
What kind of olive oil did you use for this? Olive Pomace or just regular non virgin olive oil?
just plain olive oil
thanks @@theeverydayfarmhouse8722
What is the ratio of essential oils? I may have missed it if you mentioned it.
2 ozs
How long until it’s ready to use?
I should cure for 4-6 weeks
Sorry i’ve never made soap before but my husband loves this particular Dr Squatch so I want to try and make it. Do you cure it before cutting?
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 thank you!
@@pauahi01 4-6 weeks
@pauahi01 I cut before fully curing, or the loaf can be hard to cut through
Hey can i make other types of soap, like take out the pinetar and replace it with other things like black pepper or cocoa butter?
I have not tried that. You really should just reformulate the recipe. Removing the pine tar will also not cause trace to happen quickly so you would need to use a stick blender.
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722ow do i reformulate it, and how many bars did this batch make
How much lye and sodium hydroxide please?
recipe in description
I did something wrong, but not sure what. There were "pockets" of liquid that were clearly lye solution in the bottom of my soap. Everything else from 1/2" from the bottom to the top of the soap was great - tested an 8 pH level, but the lye solution was caustic. There was probably a total of 1 tsp lye solution harbored in pockets at the bottom of the soap when I took it out of the mold after 24 hours. Any idea what I did wrong?
I'm sorry it didn't turn out. My best guess without seeing it personally would be that it just wasn't thoroughly mixed. It can be challenging with the pine tar because it wants to set up so quickly.
Hi dear
I added the lye to melt shea butter and cocoa butter but they still hard and they separate , what can I do in this case please?
You need to follow the instructions completely, it clearly shows that you are to melt the hard butters first before combining with the lye.
Why the salt?
Are the essential oils 2 oz of each scent or 2 oz total in all 3 essential oils?
2 oz total
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722so how many oz of each scent is used?
What does "come to trace" mean? I couldn't tell a difference when you said it's starting to come to trace.
I'm sorry that wasn't clear, coming to trace is when the batter begins to thicken so that when you lift it up and let some run on the surface of the batter it leaves a little lifted trace. Essentially it is thickening.
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 oh ok thank you.
Can I make this with melt and pour ? If so what are the ingredients I would need to use instead? I really want to make this but I have a lot of melt and pour that I have to use.
I have no experience with that but I would imagine you could and just add all of the extras
In MP, you can only do 2 tbsp of additives before you start diminishing the cleansing bubbles. You can use a triple butter base or the hemp base, even mix them up! I used to use those and they always come out perfect 😊
What percentages did you use? Trying to run your recipe through soapcalc
I don't have the percentages off the top of my head. You should be able to put the ounces in the calculator as well.
I bought that same pine tar to make a balm and it had no scent. I didn't mix it since I sent it back. Is the scent at the bottom or past the lid?
The scent of the pine tar is kind of smokey, and I could smell it once I opened it. It wasn't overpowering or anything.
Im confused on the measurements are they by weight for oz and volume for tsp
I weigh using a digital scale for all the ingredients with the exception of the essential oils and the clay and other additives.
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 that's what I thought, I just made a batch, curing right now
what is a substitute for lard?
palm oil could be used in place of lard but you would want to run it through a lye calculator first to see how much the lye amount changes
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 thank you!
can i use betonite clay in place of kayolin
Yes, you sure can!
I hate how gritty the Dr. Squatch pine soap is. I figure leaving pumice out would fix that?
My husband doesn't care for the grit either, while my son loves it. To each his own. If you eliminate the pumice that would definitely cut down on the grit. The oatmeal if left in will give a softer grit but it will still be a rougher bar. I am working on my own recipe for a pine tar soap without any grit, hopefully in a month or so!
What can I use instead of lard, and the quantity I should use ?
Typically ingredients can't just be swapped out. You can use a lye calculator and swap out different fats and see how the amount of lye would change with each fat. Try something like palm oil in the same amount as the lard and see what changes. the-sage.com and brambleberry both have good lye calculators. You also want to make sure that the fat you use has similar properties to the lard.
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 thank you, I’m new to this and confused as hell with calculating and swapping etc. I’ll have a look.
It's a lot to learn with soaping!
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 I’ve emailed you, could you reply ?
Also what do you mean by soaping ?
@@adamcornwell9930 soaping is the term for making soap.
I made this soap yesterday and went to unmold after 24 hrs but it was gooey on the bottom. How long do you wait before unmolding.
Interesting, you could wait 48 hours and try again. Usually 24 hours is good but it does depend on the temperature and humidity in your home. Unless it wasn't mixed well enough. Did it come to a thick trace?
It was a thick trace. I unfolded and cut at 40 hrs. A few spots were a bit soft and some of the tar stayed at the bottom of the mold.
@conniesommerfield4191 if you make it again, mix as much as you can with a whisk or spatula to keep the race light. It will give a little more time to mix in the year. Try adding the year when you're ready to pour and avoid the stick blender.
Where can I get the pine tar? Do you got a link? I can’t order here in Germany.
The link for the pine tar I purchased is in the link
I mean the description!
It was very difficult because I Germany they don’t sell these but I finally found it . Thanks
Where did you find your pine tar
I got mine on Amazon: amzn.to/3XY2rp3
You can also check you local farm supply stores. Just make sure it is creosote free
They don't make their own soap. They buy it from the soap guy wholesale lol
But they Sell a ton with their Ads and commercials.
What to replace lard with? I do not use animal products.
You would have to run it through a lye calculator but look at palm oil for an alternative
Are you selling your soap?
No, not at this point!
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 That would be awesome if you started selling your bars i would definitely buy.
nice! try diamond g pine resin next time. creosote free pine tar is the color of blonde hair. not black or dark brown.
Interesting, the company claims it is creosote free...
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 maybe they have a different definition of creosote than i do. to me its the black carbon left over from partially burnt wood. when you extract tar directly from a live tree without using fire it doesnt have any of that in it. just pure resin.
Dr. Squatch is nothing to brag about. It is about the worst soap company out there. Their pine tar soap is junk. Total junk.
It made my acne go away ✌🏽
You are definitely wrong Dr Squatch is the best I don't know what your smoking.
I love this soap. It makes my nether regions smell like the handle of George Brett's bat.
