WELL DONE ! You have soo simplified the making of whipped soap for us. Thanks so much. I too grew up on Ivory & hated it - the strong burning smell, the film that it leaves on the water, tub, sink. Blech. Have you noticed the borage of Ivory ads lately? They also have a TV comm. balking at fancy soaps to suggest that their good old fashioned basic soap reigns NOT! They couldnt give it away in my opinion. Thanks again
Once this type of whipped soap sets up, it becomes hard. What you may be refering to is cream soap which is made with sodium hydroxide + potassium hydroxide. We will have a class on the cream soap too.
Yes, you can use tallow. Be sure to run it through your soap calc to get the proper lye/water ratio.
did you know that if you microwave a bar of Ivory soap it will grow into this spiky strange looking alien soap?
I love watching your video's. I have learned a lot from you and other soapers. I am ready to give it a try. I am gathering my ingredient to try my first batch. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the lessons. I'll keep watching!
We have tried 2 recipes (one with goats milk and lye) for icing some CP cupcakes, and both have worked well.
Your lesson was such a help.
We made whipped lye (lard) soap today. will unmold Wed. and cut Fri. Will let everyone know how that came out.
We are thinking of creating a line of 100% whipped soaps forkids.
Thanks again,
Ashley & Mark
Thanks for watching :)
Absolutely!
Yay got it to work. Thanks for the lesson. One of my favorite sites is Nizzy's Whipped Soap. He makes some fantastic creations from whipped soap, and has a great photo gallery. X Linda
Thanks April!
I am now smarter than I was yesterday! I grew up with Ivory soap, as did many of us I'm sure, but never stopped to think why it floated. The peeps are adorable!!
Haha I like these lessons! and they are jam packed with exactly what we need to know with a tiny dash extra :)
very cute! thanks so much for posting this .. love the videos i'm learning tons!
So, cute! what a pleasure to watch your videos..
Thank you so much for sharing this. I enjoyed your video.
Yes, absolutely.
Super-easy! Thanks for showing this.
What a great video! Thank you for showiing it! Love it!. I suscribe!
I love your tablecloth!
Love those peeps...you are the best!
It takes longer to cure because it does not gel. Allow 4-6 weeks.You should be able to unmold in 24 hours.
Hello, I love your video and I can't wait to try the recipe. Can you or anyone suggest an alternative to using Crisco?
I'm a newbie and was wondering how do you do clean up? How do you store your lye and other supplies? Awesome videos. I just haven't had the courage to do any cold process yet.
since this was cold lyle how long do you have to let it set up before you unmold it. Also does it take the same amount of time to cure? I love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
The lye solution should be cold but the oils should be at room temperature. Pretty sure you can't over whip them. What oils did you use?
Just wondering would it make a difference as to which oils are used, I use 100% olive oil recipe for my grandaughters soap and this would be so cute to have her floating duckies...
Those were too cute. Can't wait for the cream soap class. ;0)
Wonderful I love the story of Ivory a mistake that made a company millions/billions...gotta love it! Thanks for sharing I'm going to have to try that one soon...questions:can I put the whipped soap in a loaf mold and make slices of soap will it still float? Love the peeps so cute. Thanks for all that you do on yt, Louise
whats the difference between whipped soap and cream soap?
I think I did a couple of things wrong. The oils were cold - for hard oils I used palm, coconut, Shea butter and Apricot Kernal and my liquid oils were Castor and Olive. The other thing was I used a fragrance oil which just completely seized. I've tried the same oils again but with a different fragrance and it was much more successful, but I think again my oils were too cold. So batch 3 today, and hopefully more success!
I understand every step of this process except this one: 0% Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) Amount 1.493oz. What does this mean? I am using Crystalline Lye, so how much lye and water should I mix to get the correct liquid lye amount? And why is it 0% Lye? I would appreciate if anybody knows the answer to this question.
I just noticed your answer about palm oil to other member of the blog...!! Too late for me...... Again..What could be the best replacement for the shortening.?
No blog but we have a facebook page, soaping101
Do you need to cover the whipped soap over night? Like regular CP soap? Or can you let it sit out to cure? I am just worried soda ash will form
Great advises! Do you have a blog too?
Hi Catherine , I have tried already twice this formula and actually the second end up worst than the first! I cannot find crisco or any other shortening in Greece (where I'm at the moment) so I decided to replace it with more palm oil....the mix became hard very quickly! I Only did one cupcake!!! I noticed the disaster and placed the rest on molds...any other recipe I could try without shortening? Any other reason why this could be happening ? Help!!!
Will this discolor the same way as regular cp if you use a vanilla scent? Thanks
I had a go at doing some whipped soap, using 80% hard oils and 20% liquid oils, but it set really hard within a few minutes - I'm not sure if I overwhipped the oils, as my mixture was much stiffer than you show in your video - should I have beat it less, or could it have been a problem with the fragrance?
I will add this to my list :)
My question is what product do you recommend to get a true lipstick/Christmas red in CP soap? Also which vanilla fragrance product do you recommend to use with that will brown the soap the least amount? I know they all will brown, but I'm looking for one that maybe doesn't brown as much as others.
One more question - I'm still struggling to find the best way to keep my batter as liquid as possible while pouring with multiple colors in order to do swirls. What advice do you have?
I can't watch this on my IPod, so will have to wait till tomorrow, darn. Linda
i have another question regarding whipped soap; can anyone answer my previous question and my other question is, if i use tallow, do i replace it with the shortening?
@kangakangaboi Tattle Tail...hehe. yep I was down at the harbor fishinging and caught the jackpot fish( see it on FB) so I had bragging rights and flurting with the fishermen..lol
Have the gold star hidden and running with it home..hehehe
Humm, I would keep the palm at the lowest %. Crossing my fingers for the success of #3!
If I add the whipped soap to a cp cupcake soap that has already saponified, how long do I need to let it set before I can use it?
And since it does not heat up more, how does it finish?
quick question, what can you use to replace the soybean oil??
Hello can you make a video on making cold process soap for food coloring if it would work or no?
can the whipped soap be used other dessert options of soap
how you know how to make all this stuff?
if you didnt let the whipped soap cure before attaching it to your cupcakes you have to let the whole thing cure for 4-6 weeks its still uncured soap and it cures much slower than cp so you dont want to give any1 soap that might hurt their skin
I would like a how to project to learn bubble bath without oily rings. I've seen some fizzie stuff and huge bottles of liquid but the bubbles are the most important thing to me.
@elohelreh correction: "primarily exists in animals and not significantly in plants"
Some how around 5:17 your video is hung up! Do you think this is a utube problem?
Peeps are my favorite candy of all time!
You may want to double check your recipe. Too much lye in a batch can cuase it to crumble.
i enjoy making whip soap, will have to try this recipe; however, i usually place my complete batch in silicone mold and have the hardest time getting a clean cut on the bars! Why is that? I take notes and will cut 18-24 hrs and it still isnt a clean cut. Help!
I thought of something else: can i use milk as a liquid?
It's a peep!
Cool
Good
I'm not trying to start a animal fats v. veg oils fight but what makes animal fats so good for soaping? it disgusts me to think of using animal fat in soap - rubbing supperfatted soap with animal fat on my skin? i guess it's just not for me. i don't care what other people do, however. i wonder if it's the cholesterol in animal fats that make them so luxurious in soap since cholesterol only exists in animals and not significantly in plants.
you made it look like it had fat rolls
:)
