Thank you for saying how/why the temperature rises when dissolving the lye and for explaining what the 'trace' is. No one in any of the other video's did this. It all becomes clear.
when I lived in California, everyone wanted vegan soaps and was grossed out by tallow or lard. Now that I live in Texas, everyone loves tallow soaps, lotions, and balms.
I made a basic lard soap because I had not made soap in decades. I gave it to some coworkers. Two of them had eczema, and extremely sensitive skin. No adverse reaction. I had no idea, they were severely sensitive!
That’s because pig cells are very close to human cells…the body works less to heal ❤
I love tallow soaps, beef and bison as well. Your soap is so beautiful 😻. I use ice cubes or frozen milk or AloeVera juice to dissolve the lye and avoid the fumes and the waiting time
Thankyou, that was a really good clear concise instructional lesson x you made it a pleasure to watch and learn.
Glad it was helpful!
I just found your channel! Thanks so much! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Such an interesting process. You’re a great teacher Michelle!
Thank you so much!
Simple and beautiful!
This is SO HELPFUL, very grateful!
Beautifully done and presented.
Thanks for taking step by step. I think I can do this. I'll let you know how it turnes out. You made it look so easy. I am going to use some muffin pans instead of buying soap forms. Just in case I never do it again
Very good teacher.
Thanks so much for this! I think I’m going to try it for Christmas gifts. 😊 I will definitely purchase soap from you as well. 🥰
Thanks so much! Good luck - I think they will make amazing presents 😊

Hello, and thank you for that step by step, did you have to cover your soap loaf while it was curing for those two days?
عرض موفق بالنجاح الدائم استمر 👍👍👍
Great video. Do you ever use spikenard oil in your soaps? Thanks
Thank you for making it simple and clear. But does tallow soap lather very well?
Thankyou for saring advis making soap how to get you gridding
Anyone know if the flower pedals have to be dried?
🎧🤪🎙️🫶 Thank you so much for sharing 🙏 I wishing you a beautiful day to you and all your viewers. Much Love Thierry ❤️˘◡˘❤️
If I want to add one ounce of essential oils can I just do one less ounce of olive oil in this recipe so I don't have to reconfigure the lye solution?
Beautifully white. I would have thought the olive oil would make it a little green.
Extra virgin OO would make it greener, but processed olive oil doesn't have as much color!
Boa tarde tudo bem eu ja cheguei , pra acompanhar o seu trabalho,
For this recipe how much essential oil would you recommend
Im concert with the harder of the soap. Love it when is realky hard. Can you comment abaut that?
I just followed this recipe and my soap came out yellow. I did put some essential oils in it. Wondering if that could have changed the color.
Can you please help to create mass awareness using natural resources like soap nut bio enzymes preparation without using chemical products
Where’s your link to buy soap directly from you please? 🙏
It's groundedhavensoap.etsy.com ! :)
What could you add to make it exfoliate?
Poppy seeds are great for exfoliating
When is it safe to use it? how many days or weeks after making it....
Takes 4-6 weeks to cure
Should it lather as you do clean up? I followed the precise measurements and your fantastic directions, but clean up was still greasy, so to speak.
It is a bit of a messy cleanup process. I usually try to wipe up whatever i can with paper towels before washing with water, and that helps a lot!
It takes a couple of days for the raw soap to cure enough for the oiliness to be emulsified, after which any soap remnants remaining in the mixing bowls or on utensils will lather a bit when washed with water. It took me a little time to realize this but once I did, it was a game changer! Since I was making only enough soap for my family, I had time to set my mixing bowls & utensils aside in a storage room for a few days before washing them to make cleaning easier. Once the soap remnants have aged a little, you can wash the utensils with plain water since the utensils are already coated in more than enough soap to clean them. And yes, it will produce some lather at this point, though not as much as when the soap has fully cured. An added benefit of waiting to clean the utensils is that the longer you wait, the milder the soap will be on your hands. Raw soap is very harsh on skin, but the longer you allow it to cure, the milder it becomes. Hope this helps.
How come that glass did not break at such high temperature?
How much water and how much lye?? You didn't give the measurements for use with your oils....??
the recipe is in the description box
This class is incomplete since you didnt state the measurements of the water and lye as well as the quantity of the tallow.
all measurements are in the description box
@@GroundedHavenHomestead Thank you so much for this video. I found it very informative. I'd very much like to try this recipe. Thank you also for the lye calculator.
