  • Some have asked if I could make a video of my shampoo bar using the cold process. Here it is and I added shea butter and lavender oil. This is an easy recipe and is great for dry hair. It has amazing lather too. Please feel free to leave comments. I would love to connect with you.
    Shea Butter Shampoo Bar (Cold Process)
    12% Superfat
    Coconut Oil 76 degree 6.40 oz.
    Shea Butter 2.40 oz.
    Olive Oil 7.20 oz.
    Distilled Water 6.08 oz.
    Lye 2.16 oz.
    1 tsp of sodium lactate
    1 tsp Rose Clay
    .50 oz. Lavender Essential Oil
    Weigh distilled water
    Weigh lye
    Add lye to the water (always add lye to liquid)
    Add your teaspoon of sodium lactate to your lye water
    Weigh your oils and put them in your larger container
    Take 1 tbsp of oil from your oil mixture and add it to the teaspoon of rose clay (set aside for later)
    Take the temp of oil and lye water
    Burp oil to remove air bubbles by tapping your blender in oil
    Slowly add lye water by allowing it run down the shaft of your stick blender
    Now blend your oils with lye water to a light trace
    Add your rose clay
    Add your Lavender Oil (optional)
    Blend for a couple of seconds to make sure everything is evenly combined
    Pour into molds
    Allow soap to sit in molds for at least 24 to 48 hours.
    After 24 to 48 hours gently remove soap from molds and lightly spray them with 91 or higher percentage of rubbing alcohol.
    Put soaps away in a cool dry place and allow them to cure for 6 to 8 weeks.

    I don't understand! How is this shampoo any different from regular CP soap?

    • @TheGingerOptimist
      @TheGingerOptimist  Месяц назад

      @axolotllifeaquatics4492 A shampoo bar differs from regular cold process soap primarily in its pH level, as shampoo bars are formulated to be more acidic to match the natural pH of hair, while cold process soap is typically more alkaline and designed for cleansing the skin; additionally, shampoo bars often include specific ingredients that nourish and condition hair, whereas cold process soap focuses on cleansing the body with a broader range of potential ingredients depending on the recipe. Hope this helps!

    If l may ask
    Can we put KoH instead of
    NaoH
    Thanks

    • @TheGingerOptimist
      @TheGingerOptimist  4 года назад

      Thank you Reem Hijazi for watching. If you use KOH instead of the more common NaOH you will end up with soap but it won't be a solid bar. Therefore, I don't recommend it. It will be more like a soft, putty consistency. Hope this helps!

    Is it essential to add the sodium lactate?

    • @TheGingerOptimist
      @TheGingerOptimist  7 месяцев назад

      Hi @NYsavvy! That’s a great question. You don’t absolutely have to use it, but it does help cold process process soap to harden quicker. I do recommend it. Thanks for watching. ❤️
