I would not use it in the car since it will be too hot. I think normal perfume oils would work.

I haven’t tried using other, let me know if other would work!

Thank you! ❤️

Yes you can use soy wax instead, soy wax is slightly less hard and will melt at lower temperature. You would need to dry the fresh plants for it to keep its colour before using

It’s not necessary but it makes the tablets harder. To add colour you can use mica powder 😊

I think it will be a bit too harsh for the hair, maybe it will be better to use a combination of oils for the hair instead.

Thank you! Hope the video helps!

It is listed in the video where I went through the recipe on the soap calculator ❤️

I wouldn’t because homemade soap naturally have a higher pH And pH doesn’t make harsh on the skin.

I usually dilute small quantities as I go and leave out the preservative but you can always add germal plus if you are worried

@@TheScraftworks hi so how long will it last once mixed with water if i dont add any preservative and use as i go.

So happy the video helped!

The percentage is listed and it exact quantities will depend on how much of the soap you want to make and the purity of your potassium hydroxide. Better work safe when working with hydroxides! Using the soap calculator will help a lot❤️

What do you mean?

@@TheScraftworks pH 7?

What is your liquid soap pH in this video?

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

From my experience, beeswax doesn’t really have a sweetened fragrance to it. You can repel insects using essential oils that repel insects like lavender.

@@TheScraftworks ohkk thanks for clearing my doubt☺

Thank you

Distilled water

Thank you!❤️

Yes the percentage are there for you to enter it in a soap calculator and the exact quantity will depend on the total amount you want to make and the purity of the hydroxide! Hope this helps.

You mean to prevent it being too oily for cleaning? We kept the super fat at 1% to make it more suitable for cleaning.

@@TheScraftworks Thank you so much for clearing the doubt.

Thank you for your comment.

Thank you! ❤️

I haven’t had that happened! I’m not sure why though.

I’m afraid that sometimes it’s too hot in the car.

I’m afraid it may be too hot in the car.

Yes sodium hydroxide is needed to make soap. You need to freeze the milk or the sodium hydroxide will burn the milk. The soap is good for about one year at leastz

Great that it works for you. I’ve never tried that.

You can keep blending, usually it will stop separating.

I used the soap as it is without adding acid to lower the pH. There’s no actual need to do that since superfatting make it nice on the skin. Thanks

@@TheScraftworks ok, but I'm trying yo achieve a 5.5 ph. At what point of the process should i add acid? Thanks for the reply, and I'm sure what you did is good, but I'm asking for a different purpose

Thank you

As long as you can perform the zap test then it will be good to use.

Maybe the weather- colder weather makes the soap paste harder. Have you used the same amount of water that is in my recipe? Lower amounts of water makes it harder too. As long as it passes through the zap test I think the texture doesn’t really matter. Thank you!

It will probably melt if the temperature goes above 100 degrees Fahrenheit

It’s about 5mm. Thanks you for your support!

I think so since you can make wax melts with it. 😊😊

Thank you❤️

I would say 6 months to 1 year depending on the quality of oils you used.

The percentages are listed to be entered in the soap calculator depending on how much soap you want to make❤️

I haven’t tried adding glycerin but I think you can as it is water soluble, I’ll probably start with 1% to start with and work up.

3%

@@enamk4210 what about acid... How would i know how much to add to get a ph of 4.5-5.5?

You can add both, honey about tablespoon and oats about 1-2 tablespoons. Just soap at a lower temp in case the honey will make it too hot.

​@@TheScraftworksThanks!

​@TheScraftworks I want to try this recipe this week. What type of coconut oil do you use? Can I use virgin coconut oil? Also, I read that coconut oil can be drying and my baby gets dry skin. Can I increase the shea butter amount and decrease the coconut a little, or will that mess with the texture/hardness of the soap too much? Based on some research I did, I was thinking 20% coconut and 10% shea. But I've never made soap before, so...

Sorry not at the moment, I am currently buying from local store.

Thank you for your advice
