In Part Two of a Seven Part Series, we are formulating a whipped soap scrub from soap shreds. In this example we will use a 100% coconut oil soap with a zero percent super-fat. We will also talk about how you can adjust your recipe, the importance of glycerin, and all the soapy things.
Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

Pop quiz: why is glycerin important in these recipes? Leave a 🛁 below if you know!
🛁
Hydrating
🛀 🧪 🛁 🧪 ... It's a humectant and draws moisture to the skin and within the cells of the epidermis... To moisturize the dermis, add water to the skin before adding any type of moisturizer and the lower level, drink more water ...
Stretching the fatty acid chain making it easier to whip?
It acts as a surfactant, right? Also aids in binding the additional stuff with the soap.
Yeah, you can usually suss out those that learned strictly through cliff notes. Well rounded problem solving is rarely their game! Awesome series! Lovin' the science of it all!
Spot them from a mile away. 😂
@@MrsSoapAndClay I applaud you for answering some questions with great decorum.
I have been here since day 1. I LOVE the your channel!! Sorry I can’t afford to join. I’m a maker but have had to put all that on hold to work 60+ hours a week so I can move. My savings was dismantled from my cancer bills.
I hope to see you in the discord soon!
Just thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and explanation of the chemistry behind it. You are an amazing person!!!❤
I can tell you, you make this so easy for new soapers to have a recipe that actually works!!! It is also cheap to make. Far more so than the one I created as a skin care formulator, lol! However, mine is for use on faces really, not that you can't use the recipe you gave on your face, but is probably a better body scrub! I always love coming here to learn new things. I've never taken the time to think of using soap shreds for this purpose. I have a couple hundred different products to formulate with is my problem. So I don't always look at the simple way to get something done. I spend hours doing complicated crap that nobody gives a hoot about. Until they use a product, then they want to know, lol!
Like I said I love to come here yo learn, and your a great, easy teacher! You don't fail anybody, and I love that!
Have a good night Chantine!

A HUGE Thank you ! to Mrs. Soap & Clay for sharing ALL your very intensive knowledge of Soap, various ingredients & especially how all the various ingredients work together . You are a treasure trove of valuable information. Your background in Chemistry definitely shines through in each video & helps to increase my knowledge around so many aspects of formulating not only soap but other products as well .
Sharing all this information is truly kind of you .
Best wishes & bubbles

I have to take time to say THANK YOU! I have been wanting to make the soap paste and then sugar scrub since you first showed us how. I never did. Today I decided why not try this soap shreds version and see how it turned out. It was easy, worked well and will be made again. I'm sorry that your process was questioned by others but also grateful that you took time to clarify. For me personally hands down best whipped sugar scrub I've made or used.💕👏
YAY now i can make mine! I am doing a boogie here in my seat now i can make my coconut oil whipped body scrub! you are awesome!!! :)
No you!
YOU ARE GOD SENT💜 I have tons of soap shreds I didn't feel like rebatching. I love your channel, your personality and presentation is a rare commodity. Some others can be so boring 😴 thank you so much for your time and chemistry.
I’ve never had a problem with your recipes! You are so kind to shared your knowledge with us. I will definitely tried this because I have tons of shreds and will share the results ! God bless you!
I have to say, for as long as I have watched you, I love your no bs kinda get to the point. I also feel everything in your intro is spot on. I have tried many many of your recipes and loved them all. Also if it isn't exactly what I want, I use GOOGLE key words that fit, rather than bash any tuber because I got my knickers in a knot. You are awesome.
You’re great at teaching!
Thank you for going over this. Hope you have a good day.
Thanks so much for posting these new videos!
answered so many questions, over a year later. Bless. YOu just saved me so much formulation time and money. Thank you!
I am SO happy I found this video!!! What a great way to utilize soap scraps.
Glycerin is a humectant for the skin but acts as a mixer or solvent in recipes. In whipped sugar soap scrubs for example, combines with the base and helps desolve the paste to make the whip.
That's the way I understand it. 🤷♀️
Damn! I even answered that before I watched this video! 😂
Angel. Thank you.
I did it! Thank you so much for your great videos. I watched them before, during, and after. I used bars of soap that I made 3 weeks ago. They didn’t look great but I loved the smell of the lemon balm essential oil I used in it. So instead of rebar hung I made this sugar scrub and it is wonderful! I still have a lot of paste to use after making a test batch but I’m sure it will be fun finding uses for it other than sugar scrubs. Thanks again!
I can't decide if I wanna try this yet
Always killing it with the videos! I’ve learned so much from you.
You mentioned turning the shreds into melt and pour. Is that really possible?
How would I go about it?
Melt the shreds with water, cook the water out and then add glycerin 🤔 or cooking the water is not necessary. Just melt, add glycerine and pour it out in a mold.
Can coco betain be used as part of the water replacement ?
Thanks so much 😇
Questions
1. if glycerin is a by product of cold process soap why do we need more?. Thank you for all u do. I've made 1 ugly batch of coconut oil soap At 25% sf and u gave me the courage 😭. I do formulate my whipped soap with cocoabetaine and sci but want 2 try ur recipe.
2. Shouldn't the recipe be reformulated for account for the preservative and sugar? for ex
Ex. 20% shreds
20% h20
5% glycerin
4.5% stearic
50% sugar
.5% preservative
I work best in %s
Based on ur recipe just whipped soap %
Is
35% shreds
35% h20
17% glycerin
13%stearic
3. Is low sf soap= add higher amount glycerin and high sf = add lower amount glycerin?
Can wait to try experimenting.
Oh my gosh, this is such a fantastic video! I just shredded up a couple of fugly batches and will be making some sugar scrubs! I also happen to have about 25lbs of M&P base that I inherited from another soaper. Not being a fan of M&P bar soaps, do you think it would work to add your recommended additives to the melted M&P base, without first having to let them harden into bars and then shred them? I realize the M&P base already includes those additives, so I'm not sure how all that would play out.
Thanks very much soap & clay for this recipy, can you add preservative to this pls
As a baker-Watching you fill the piping bags is killing me.
I really hate to see her struggle so . 🤗
Oh, y’all got jokes. I’m good at other things. Probably.
@@MrsSoapAndClay I know you’re awesome at a lot of things! 😁
As a not baker, I appreciate the struggle cause that's what it looks like when I do it 😅. I could just climb into the washing machine after and kill 2 birds, 1 stone
@@jjaded9984 😂 aw. Maybe I’ll do a YT short on filling piping bags.
Hello! So if someone used some of their regular cold process soap they made for this recipe instead of the 100% ,would the amounts still be the same or would the composition of that soap change the amounts? Thank you in advance ☺️
This may be a dumb question but I didn’t see it addressed. Do you ‘cook’ your shred paste similar times to the original double lye paste?
Btw-I love this idea for using shreds differently!
Will this formula be okay to add an oil to because glycerin makes me really dry. Yes, I'm that weird 1% that has a weird reaction to glycerin
Can we add emulsifying wax instead of stearic?
Can you use MP shreds for this?
Do you melt the steric acid first ,?
How long does it take to melt everything down? In the crock pot
Thank you for all you do!!! Question: I want to create a scrub that holds its shape but is a little squishy. Same basic recipe with the shreds, glycerin, sugar.... I'm wanting like a cube that stays a cube until I squish it, sort of the same texture as a soft bubble gum, like bubblicious gum! And obviously once wet and squished it would spread on the skin like yours did😊 what are your thoughts??? What would I do to this recipe to tweek it for those results?? 🤔
Thanks for your help!!
Hey! I would increase the solids (so the shreds) and consider adding a xantham gum or the like for a more gelatinous feel to keep the shape.
@@MrsSoapAndClay thank you!!! 😊
Okay so you might have said this and I just missed it - can you use things other than water just like you would when making the base soap, or are they more prone to spoilage because you’re adding them after the saponification has already occurred?
Things like aloe juice, plant milks, juices.
Good question! I would include these in the paste or soap you turn into shreds for the reasons you mentioned.
Sap Nation is member only, phooey. I wanted to lurk 👀
You don’t wanna be there. I promise. All of the soap forums are so freaking toxic these days it’s sad. I’m bummed that these catty despots with too much time on their hands finally beat Amanda into submission and took over the cool thing she created.
@@MrsSoapAndClay that’s such a shame ☹️
I’m a member of saponification nation, and yes it’s toxic, was my first group, sometimes people will discouraged you from making soap! Some members are mean and will attack posts from every single little mistake that we do! But it’s another group Ultimate guide to beginners soap making, this is a great group! 😁it’s more to exchange tips and help each other! ❤️
Thank you for the video. If adding oils is it 10% of the weight of the paste or of the whole recipe including sugar. I’m trying to add some oils and/or butters but a little confused. Also, would it be the same amount of oils for the soap paste version? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Hey! Adding oils or the like would be based off the weight of the paste alone. Have fun!
So using the formula from the video it would be up to 0.6 oz? And I think you said to adjust the glycerin and water if adding oil. What would the numbers look like? Do you like the consistency of the usage scrub more with the shreds or paste? Sorry for all the questions 🙈
What size jars would you recommend to use?
I use 8oz containers for my big ones, and 2oz for my sample sizes.
I'm anxious to see which piping tip you are using lol.
Ha!
Would using soap scraps from cleaning up bars work as well?
Absolutely! It’s a bit of a crap shoot as to what your end product IS if you use loads of different oils in your recipes, but if you use the same three or four oils exclusively then it makes it easier for labeling purposes.
@@MrsSoapAndClay Awesome! I use the same recipe for almost all of my soaps. I'm going to try it out. Also going to try adding clay and no sugar for a shaving soap.
Questions Pls
Can i replace some of the water with decyl glucoside
Can i replace some of the water with castle Soap
Can i add 2% Salicylic Acid and 1% Malic Acid
Can i add 2% Proplyn Glycol
Thank You
The propylene glycol you should be able to add, but I don’t know about the others.
1) yes
2) no
3) only yes if you’re familiar with the destabilization of both and are familiar with how to do so as it’s an advanced technique
4) sure but there’s not any benefit to it if you already have glycerin in the mix. Have fun!
@@MrsSoapAndClay
Sorry i meant castile Soap
Can i replace some of the water with castile soap. I want it very foamy.
Yup, I assumed you meant Castile. It’s still a no as a replacement of the water; will do weird things to the batch without making other adjustments.
If i did this right in % this is how much you used in this? 32.6% shreds, 32.6% water, 21.8% glycerin and 13% stearic acid? I find recipes in % easier to use and scale, Is my math right before I try this out?
Sounds about right I turn the oz to gr then divide each by total batch weight.
I got 35% shreds
35% h20
17% glycerin
13%% stearic
Use 3oz h20 if ur soap isnt as cured. Per the video
Sorry but I didn’t get the ratio of sugar that is safe to use? Can you tell me the %for sugar to use?
I’d imagine it’s 50%
Can I ask the % of stearic acid you used in this recipe please.
13%
