Great job, looks like a winner and happy customers are the proof. I can't use cetyl alcohol sadly, too drying to my scalp. But I know many folks have no issues with it.
Thank you. That is a shame about the cetyl alcohol. I believe it can be replaced with stearic acid or increase the conditioning emulsifier 😊
I love your videos, You pack so much information in such a short amount of time. These sound delightful, Nicely done!
Thank you 😊 I was worried the video was too long 😆
You are wonderful during your explanations. REALLY really good. I thought it was super cute how you mention how you got your press, and your sensitive puppy.
Thank you 🧡 since then I have had to change to a pneumatic press due to health issues and it's taken a lot of work to get Lucy used to the noise. She still doesn't like it, but she has her comfort spot and I only use when hubby is home with here.
Wow, I am a new subscriber and have been making soap for only about 3 years and like you did make a HP shampoo bar. It was sufficient, but not excellent. I love your extreme thoroughness with this particular process and have several of the ingredients already. Thank you so very, very much for taking the time to explain everything here. I am very excited to try this. I have relatively fine hair and live in a pretty dry environment where humidity is very low. So my coconut based shampoo bars were awful in a humid environment and just weighed the hair down horribly (since coconut oil is a natural humectant, it grabbed whatever moisture it could and it clung to my hair, LOL!). I like the small amount that you use. Looking forward to trying this. Thank you for taking the time to explain it all. :-)
Thank you for subscribing 🧡 I too have extremely fine hair which gets weighed down by commercial products. If you don't want to use coconut oil, swap it for argan oil 😊
I've never used shampoo bars. I've been thinking of adding them to my line, although I make my own bottled shampoo & conditioner that sell well. This sounds like an interesting thing to add for people who travel a lot. Thank you for making me think about a new product!
I love my shampoo Discs and haven't used liquid ones for years. My customers love them too but I do still get some ask how to use them. I have lots of customers prefer non-plastic packaged products where possible.
My brother bought me some and they are WONDERFUL! It’s not true (in my experience) that shampoo bars last longer than a bottle of shampoo from the store, but they are definitely nicer.
As a hair stylist we recommend that the Ph of hair care products should be between 4.5 to 5.5.
I've heard varying ideas on this. Some people can wash their hair with cold process soap which has extremely high PH and it doesn't both them and others can't use shampoo at all. Some rinse with apple cider vinegar, I myself can't tolerate it. We are all so different. We wash our hair with water which is a PH 7. Most other chemicals that are added to hair such as colour, gels, hairspray etc are much harsher to the hair. Since I stopped getting my hair done and started using my own shampoo my hair has been the healthiest it's ever been.
This totally fascinates me. Never heard of these before watching soap makers on CZcams. These look awesome!!
I love using the Shampoo Bars - so great for travelling too ❤
How lovely of you to share. Really interesting info about the press too.
Thank you
Thank you 😊 The press has made life much easier
I have a press and it has changed my production but also it has helped with my muscle disability in my arms. love it!
Very informative. Thank you so much for sharing about the Chamomile/Nettle and Hibiscus/Rosemary extracts.
Thank you for watching
Thanks for taking the time and making these videos. I have started making my own shampoo bars and I find your video very helpful and informative. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you for watching. Glad I can help 😊
Where did you see the amounts?
Wow thank you just what I’ve been looking for.
There’s so much info out that it’s easy to get lost but you’ve really helped
Thank you for watching and happy it has helped 🧡
Thank you so much for sharing so much FANTASTIC information!!! I learned quite a bit! I haven't delved into the shampoo bar yet because, being a Ginger, my hair is finicky. However, after watching this and doing some of my own research as well, I'm thinking I might try this out! Again, thank you!!!
So pleased to hear you are going to give this a go. My hair is the healthiest it has been in years and I can't stand commercial hair care anymore.
Nicely done Soy and Shea. This looks wonderful. I love how much research you have done to create this lovely shampoo disk.
Thank you 😊
Really fantastic video as always, Keeley! I want your mica collection! :D
Thank you Sandra. I am a bit OCD so had to have one of everyone My Mica Obsession stocks!
I appreciate your videos! You share some much really good information. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Thank you for watching and supporting me ❤
Hi Keeley. Just sharing a little hack I discovered last week. I was making lip balms on a cold night. It really bothers me when I start to pour lip balm using my pyrex jug and the last big gets cold on the way out of the spout and instantly sets. So I had a bit of a light-bulb moment. Got out my heat gun and heated up the spout of my jug. Wahlah. Poured in a totally melted stated all the way to the last drop. Thought it may work to use the heat gun to lightly heat the sides of the bowl when making shampoo discs as well.
That's a fantastic tip. Thank you.
Very informative video, thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching ❤
thank you so much for taking the time to share this knowledge and insight!
Thank you for watching ❤
Keeley , I really Loved the video and thank you for the explanation and PH demonstration. All your information was very helpful. I have been interested in making some but it seemed too complicated. You made it seem manageable. Love watching all your videos. Sending love from Canada
I'm pleased to hear it sounds easier to make! They really are. 🧡
@@SoyandShea anlıyorum sizi. Lütfen altyazı seçeneklerine Türkçeyide eklersen mutlu olurum
Very informative video. I’m sold and subscribing. I’m going to order based on you test strips. Very excited!!
Hopefully we can get something sorted on the shipping for you 😊
Really helpful and well explained! Thank You!
Thank you for watching ❤
OMG! I live in Wisconsin! Just looked up Bath Bomb Express. I’m an hour away! Eeeeeeekkkkkk!
That's so exciting. They also make some awesome moulds
Good to see how shampoo molds are made
I have to buy the moulds for this press. My hubby wouldn't be too impressed if I started making metal moulds 😆
Learning about the PH levels were really informative and helpful.
Ph levels can do amazing things to your products. I was watching something the other day and have a little experiment I want to try 😊
Thank You for sharing your precious time, talent, knowledge, & skills with us all so we may learn. Hugs & Blessings 2U
Thank you for watching and supporting me ❤
Fantastic info and help. Thank you so much for sharing this. Much appreciated!🌸😁
Thank you for watching and supporting me ❤
so glad I found your channel you are amazing x
Thank you waching and for such a lovely comment 🧡
Beautiful. I need one of those presses. 💗
Thank you. The press has certainly been a game changer 😁
Thank you so much for an informative video..😊😊
Thank you for watching ❤
Keeley, we just made your shampoo bar using the pateron recipe. We cannot get it to stay together. We thought it was because we didn't mix it enough. We used a hand mixer. But then I just watched this older video and you just mixed by hand. We did everything to the gram. Have you had an issue in the past with it not staying together? We used the Electra press from muddy soap Co. It's been four days and with we five it a squeeze it shatters 😭. Love your channel you are awesome! Thank you Sandi
Hey Sandi, sorry you're having trouble with the recipe. Can I get you to message me via Patreon and I can then help diagnose the issue. Are you using needles of SCS? I've not had issues with them falling apart.
@@SoyandShea patleon is fine.
@@SandiMacDougall Hi Sandi, Just following up with you. I have messaged you through Patreon
You have a fabulous way to say the information to us keep going ❤❤ how can I have your recipe in exact grams please 😊🤗
Thank you for your comments. It took many months of research and testing to come up with the recipe that I used so I won't be giving it away sorry. There are plenty of great recipes out there which you can use or use as a starting point to create your own recipe. I highly recommend DIY Bath and Body on Etsy who's recipes are always easy to follow. Bath Bomb World also has a recipe listed in their Shampoo Bar Kit which is free to access.
You are truly inspiring 😊
Thank you
This video was very informative!
Thank you for watching 🧡
Hi I am so glad to have found your channel. You explain so well for me a new soaper, Things that know one has ever help. I think You to muck
Thank you for watching and supporting me ❤
I am going to check you out on that link in the beginning of the vlog. Very excited your in Australia. This is brilliant. I have often thought about doing this my self. You have convinced me .. No way. to many ingredients. Would love to try some from you though. How quickly does the bar dissolve. ie.. meaning from just the shower and water while it sits on the shelf.
Thank you. I've had my latest bar in the shower for 2-1/2 months and its almost gone. The trick is not to let it sit in the water as it will soften and dissolve it quickly
Great video. Do you mind telling what kind of coconut oil you used?
Thank you ❤ I use the 76 coconut oil. Just regular oil you use for soap making or cooking
Hello! I am a newbie here!
Can you please share the ratio of the dry Ingredients and the liquid ingredients (including melted products) please?
Thank you for watching and supporting me ❤ this formula took me a long time of testing to perfect so it's not one I freely share. You really don't need much liquid ingredients and I use less than 10% of liquid ingredients. Bath Bomb World has a free recipe on their website which is a great starting point to build your own formula.
Thank you for the great video! ❤️ what are the scales that you use ?
Hi. These are electronic scales found on Ebay. They don't have a brand name but lots of sellers have them if you search electronic scales. Mine are 40kg weighing in 1g increments
Thankvyou for this - very informative!
Thank you for watching ❤
In colder climates to stop products from solidifying quickly could you put a warming mat underneath your bowl? Would it be necessary or could you do it quickly enough.
Sometimes it's the cool air that starts the solidifying so best just to work quick and use a heater to warm the space. 🧡
Hello. I am from Guatemala and I liked your video and Channel. I want to know how to make shampoo disks if I dont have a press or a mold like yours. Thanks for all information.
Thank you for watching ❤ you can make them with moon cake presses but you need to make sure they are compacted down well to stop them from falling apart and crumbling
Just a question, with a shampoo bar does it leave any soap residue that needs to be rinsed out of the hair? Will it build up? I have heard to rinse with apple cider vinegar? But do you then condition after?
Hi, I've not had any issues with build up. The ingredients used are very similar to liquid shampoo but without the water allowing it to stay solid and concentrated. Some people find they need conditioner and others don't. Some of the information about build up and rinsing is related more to soap shampoo rather than detergent shampoo
Thank you!
Thank you for watching
very nice. does this soap bar stays solid the whole time or does it melt when them temperature is warmer?
Thank you. This bar stays solid like a normal bar of soap. It will get smaller and you use it but not because of temperature
Can you please put the recipe amounts up as I can’t find them anywhere it is a great recipe
Sorry. This is not a recipe I give away but do have it in the vault level of my Patreon. I will so have it for sale on my second business page too
Hello where do I find your second business page
@@rayleenjohnson2736 my other business is Pimp My Soap but it's not there yet. I'm in the process of preparing the recipe for the site
Do you still use this method for shampoo bars? Did you end up switching out the BTMS 25 or BTMS 50? Thanks for the process!
The only thing I do differently is I upgraded to a pneumatic machine. Otherwise I use the same recipe
Wow, there was a 48 min add on your video. CZcams is getting nuts. I try to watch the adds for makers b/c you are so helpful and appreciated but sorry, couldn't do that one.
Thank you for your informative video!
OMG - I don't blame you. 48min is not an ad. I don't get much control on what ads are put on the videos. CZcams really should monitor that and maybe do as instagram does give a snippet and then clicks here to see more.
@@SoyandShea I know it's youtube. I just wanted to let you know I appreciate you!
seconds!
Can I use digital ph meter, there are lots of models and items don’t know what to buy
Digital PH meters give a more accurate reading however its hard to get a PH reading from solid product
very cute discs , hello from the other side of the continent 🖐
Thank you and hello 😊
Is sodium coco sulphate considered a “bad” sulphate like SLS? I done my research, but my results were extremely conflicting. Thanks!
To be honest I can't really answer that as I've come across the same dilemma. From my understanding sulphur is used to get the fatty acids from the coconuts and then them into what we call SCS which is why sulphate is in the name. Since I started using this recipe, my hair is the healthiest it's ever been and many tell me the same so I am going to keep using it. There will be some that completely disagree. Sulphates are better at removing dirty and grease
Hello friend, I would like to know where you bought the machine where you worked the soap tablets in Spain, I can't find any kind of equipment. Could you provide me with a contact link where to buy it? Thank you.
I bought mine from Bath Bomb X-press in America. He ships all over the world. The website is www.bathbombxpress.com
@@SoyandShea Hi there! Thank you very much for answering. I take note of your indication. Thank you!
Thangks so much for sharing
Thank you for watching 🧡
Does the hibiscus in powder? Does it colour hair and what percentage do you use?
I've not seen hibiscus in powder. You'd have to make you own from hibiscus petals. It won't colour hair as there is no additive to make the colour stick to hair.
excellent
Thank you
Is it possible for syndet bars to have brine (for the skin)?
Only if you are making one with water. It's a completely different formula to what I make.
Please put product names with link thanx I'm your new subscriber 🤗🇮🇳
As we're in different countries, links to my supplies won't be of any use. You can easily search for the ones mentioned in the video on Google. Alternatively, I do have the full formula available on my Patreon Page. The recipe is in the vault level
What else would you use in place of the Cetyl Alcohol?
The only other ingredient for this purpose is cetearyl alcohol
Great tutorial. I have purchased the recipe from DIY Bath & Body. She has 2 recipes, one with SCI and one with Coco Sodium Sulfate with citric acid to lower the ph. Do you think CSS makes a better shampoo bar? Thanks Debbie from WA.
Thank you. I haven't tried the SCI version as it's quite expensive here in Australia to use as a main ingredient. I know some people do a blend of the two together to get the mildness of SCI but cleansing power of SCS. It depends on your SCS as they do have varying PH levels depending on manufacturer.
I live in Western Australia and Range Products in WA have SCI at a good price so I’ll go with that.thanks.
@@naturescaresshandmadesoaps4723 that's good to know. I just have to be aware of what my customers will pay and SCI make them too expensive for my niche markets 😥
Merhaba. Çok güzel bir şey bu bende yapmak istiyorum. Lütfen ölçülerini yoruda yazın
Sorry this is not a recipe I give away
I thought and read everywhere that a shampoo should be between 4.5-5.5 as the scalp has a ph of 5.5 and hair of 3.8…. A little confused…. Sorry
There is lots of information out there about everything but one thing I have learned since creating is that we all have personal needs. Some people can wash their hair with cold process soap at a PH of 9 whereas others can't. The other issue I see is that water is a PH of 7 which has more contact with the hair.
Love ur videos. What is the ratio of dry to wet ingredients u prefer for these bars. I’m an absolute newbie.
Thank you ❤ my liquids including oil, are under 10% for this. You really do not need much. Some recipes I've seen only use oil ad their liquid
Soy and Shea thk u
I have all of these ingredients, but is there any chance you are willing to share your recipe?
As explained in the video I don't freely give this recipe away due to time I put into formulating it. I do however have a Shampoo Disc recipe available on my Patreon page in the $10 tier. www.patreon.com/createwithsoyandshea
Where can I find the press and the aluminum mold
The press is from Bath Bomb Xpress in the USA. They also sell the moulds
Is this shampoo conditioning or would I still need to use conditioner bar after the shampoo?
Everyone reacts differently. I personally find I don't need any more conditioning than what's on this but others do
How do you formulate a recipe? I have ingredients to make my own not sure how to go about it. I don’t want to follow someone else recipe. Thank you 🙏
Formulating comes down to lots of trial and error and knowing your ingredients well. I give formulating information on my Patreon page at the $10 tier www.patreon.com/createwithsoyandshea
Bonjour sa serais bien de connaitre les poucentages , super la video
This is one of the recipes available in the vault on my Patreon page.
@@SoyandShea ok je l’ai chercher mais je ne le trouve pas est possible de m’envoyer le lien please
Great job, thank share!! 🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏
👉🔁👈 !! Thak you!!
Thank you 😊
Hello is the recipe is written somewhere please ?
Not at the moment. I'll be looking to publish recipes sometime in 2022
Can you please tell us where you purchased those boxes??
I got the boxes from ebay
Awesomely video
Thank you ❤
Woah, finally I found your shampoo bar video. I had tried to make shampoo bar, and mine is too wet :( I guess because I add too much coco betaine or wet ingredients. How much percentage of surfactants to make shampoo hold it shape?
Thank you for watching 😊 I don't use coco betaine in my recipe. My surfactant is the sodium coco Sulphate which is the bulk of the recipe. It's the oils, waxes and extracts that help hold the recipe together along with a good amount of pressure when pressing. If you check out Bath Bomb worlds website, they have a free recipe which will give you an idea on ratios.
@@SoyandShea awesome! I want to make shampoo bar and CP soap for my friend's baby shower. I will do the 3rd experiment. Thank you!
Gud day from US, how long do they dry before you sell the bars? I appreciate you taking the time to do this video for us fellow business people, it makes us more educated
Hi, I usually leave for 48 hours unless it's humid then I do 72 hours and try to pack in morning 😊
I am going to have to tweak my recipe again them , my 1st batch has taken 3 weeks to harden & not be sticky
@@sofiagirl01 that's a long time. Most of the "liquid" I add is only liquid when heated, and sets solid at room temperature. That's why I like coconut oil
Sorry I was asking you to put the amounts for the shampoo disks it a good recipe
Keely do you formulate your own recipes? Could you guide me to a good book for recipes?
Hi, yes I formulate my own recipes. I got some books from Aussie Soap Supplies to learn from. I recommend checking websites like Soap Queen and New Directions for great recipes. I tend to stay away from blogs.
Thank you very much👍🏻👍🏻🥰
I want recipe not it's I can completely understand but where can I found plss can u help out
There are lots of great recipes out there that you can use as a starting point to make into your own. DIY Bath and Body on Etsy has a great recipe (www.etsy.com/au/listing/630191706/diy-solid-shampoo-bars-sci-version-2?ref=hp_opfy-2&bes=1) - I used the foundation of her recipe to understand shampoo bars and then created my own recipe with all the extra additives.. Ariane Arsenault from La Fille De La Mer also provides a great recipe to her Patreons. There are also free recipes found on places like Bath Bomb World. Sorry, this is one of the recipes I don't share as it has taken a lot of time and money to create.
can you tell me what size your boxes are,I love them and I just ordered molds and ingredients for shampoo bars
My boxes are 7x7x3cm. 🧡
Thank you so much
I can't find shampoo bars on your website.
They're under the Personal fragrance and Hair Care. soyandshea.com.au/collections/hair-care
@@SoyandShea Thank you :)
If you wrap your mold in plastic wrap your mix won't stick
I have tried that but hate how it sticks to my gloves 😆
What should be the ideal pH of this product?
There are lots of articles out there with all different thoughts on PH for hair care but on average all are under 7. SCS can be quite high but some brands are lower than others and once blended with the right amount of other ingredients, you can bring the PH right down.
Thank you for sharing this! I do have a question. I'm wondering if you use SCI or SLSA in powder form. I see you use the noodles/needle, but I didn't see if you add either one! I love your way of making it! It does take forever to get it to melt using a double boiler! I'd appreciate any help regarding the SCI or Slsa
I don't use SLSA or SCI in this recipe. I add the SCS (sodium coco sulphate) needles at about time 10:50. You can always reduce the amount of SCS and add in either SLSA or SCI in powder or noodle format. If your SCS is high in PH you would find adding them should reduce it. If you don't want to use SCS, you can use SLSA or SCI or a blend of both though I would use some in noodles format to help hold the mix together.
@@SoyandShea thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it!
Amazing..its great for me to learn and make it for business purpose. Can you help me? Fill recipe listing pls?
Thank you for watching 😊 sorry but I don't give the recipe for free as it took a long time to create. I am looking to share a shampoo recipe on my Patreon page in February if you wish to join. This will be available to anyone pledging over $5. www.patreon.com/createwithsoyandshea
Can you tell does your hair need time to adjust? I also have colored hairs ..
It really depends on the person. Some take to it straight away some need time adjust and wash away the build up of traditional shampoo. I've been using my own shampoo for several years now and my hair is the healthiest it's been and since reformulating my bars this year, its growing super fast. It goes horrible if I use commercial ones now.
Mine didn't need any adjustment at all. Sci and scs are surfactants, just like the ordinary shampoos but much milder and less drying.
@@____Ann____ that's great 😊 I took to my new bars straight away but when I first made them with a different method 5years ago it took me 3 washes to get rid of build up
@@SoyandShea Bars are so much handier and better than bottles. And it is quite addictive to experiment with them. I sometimes add herbal powders to them.
@@____Ann____ there's no going back for me now. I bought out a whole new range this year with lots of goodies including green coffee, seaweed and so much more
Please consider shipping your shampoo bars to overseas at least within APAC..
We are working on international shipping - I am just making sure I go through all the paperwork to make sure our products can be shipped to particular regions so they are not confiscated by customers. With part of the APAC are you in?
Soy and Shea hi, I’m in Tokyo, Japan at the moment. I buy quite a few items from the US and UK and bought some botanicals from France before and I don’t recall the time I encountered issues. (I get items shipped from overseas every few weeks).
I’ve bought tons of stuff from the US Amazon, iHerb, Etsy (US, Thailand and the UK) just to name a few and never one time my items were lost.
It would be great if I could buy your shampoo bars and other items and get them shipped to Japan in the future! Cheers!
I have got Japan down on my list of allowed. This issue I have is I am using postal satchels which cover regions but not all the regions the satchel will go to, can have my products sent. This means I have to go through my website, selecting countries for each region. It's just taking a little while to get through them. I am hoping to get it done throughout March
Soy and Shea thanks for detailed explanation. I will keep an eye on your website (or maybe some announcement?) Look forward to the day I can try your shampoo bars and other items, they look amazing! :)
Could you pls list your ingredients
If you go back through the video, I mention all my ingredients. As this one took so long to formulate, I haven't given my exact recipe.
What the ingredients used?
Don’t see how much used for each ingredient.
That's because I've not provided the recipe as explained in the video. I have a version of the shampoo recipe on my Patreon but I don't give it for free due to time it took to develop
@@SoyandShea how much does it cost, I’m interested in knowing the recipe, im from Mexico.
