In this soap making video I show you one of my latest discoveries in handmade soap additives. This special ingredient gives an amazing, luxurious feel to soap, with lather that feels super smooth and silky!
Thank you for watching❣
Recipe:
Recipe calculated with: soapee.com/calculator
Oils:
180 g olive oil (30%)
60 g oat oil (10%)
42 g castor oil (7%)
168 g coconut oil (28%)
30 g cocoa butter (5%)
120 g shea butter (20%)
Lye solution:
102 g distilled water
88.8 g sodium hydroxide (82.8 g if not using citric acid)
(45% lye concentration, 6% superfat)
Additives:
10 g citric acid
65 g flaxseed gel
8 g annatto seeds, infused
10 ml fragrance oil
Cure the soap for about 4 weeks before using it on your skin.
○ Citric acid information
When citric acid and sodium hydroxide lye (NaOH) are combined, sodium citrate is created. Sodium citrate works as a chelator in soap.
A chelator traps metal ions such as calcium and magnesium that can be found in tap water.
These metal contaminants can cause rancidity and soap scum in handmade soap.
A chelator binds to these metals so that they can’t bind to the soap molecules. This way the soap won’t react with them and the soap's lather improves + shelf life increases.
Citric acid does not lower the pH of soap. Instead it consumes some of the lye and increases the superfat. Add 6 g extra lye for every 10 g of citric acid added to a soap recipe if you want to keep the superfat % at the same level.
How much citric acid should be added to soap?
Usage rate in bar soap is 1-2% of the oil weight.
How to use citric acid
Add citric acid to the distilled water and dissolve completely before adding the lye, or make a separate solution of citric acid and distilled water and add to the oils.

I am from India..l want this soap please.
I just ordered mine and I’m downloading it as I text!
I really enjoy your videos!
Sara have you ever tried making soap with Seamoss gel?
@@womennetworkingworldwide883 Thank you so much! No I haven't but it sounds very interesting🙂
I would like to purchase your book , but I live in United state, I have checked Amazon it is not there , would you please let me know how I can do that .
I enjoyed your soap making weary much .
It would be very helpful if you put the ingredients in the bottom of the Video, those writing are very small and it is hard to read sometimes.
would love to order your formulator workbook but I only use PayPal Do you have PayPal ? Thank you for the reply
I made this soap twice the second time I added 3% flax seed oil. They both turned out amazing. Thank you for being so giving and unselfish. Love what you do!
Thank you! 3% of your water phase or oils?
Oil phase
Did your hands feel soft after using the soap?
@@acaciahunter8657she said that she added Flax Seed Oil - that’s not water 🤔
This is so interesting, I had never heard of using flax seed gel. I also love how peaceful this video is without a lot of “chit chat”. Thank you for a great video.
I was thinking the same thing about how relaxing this music is. And I enjoy making things like soap. I thought to myself about the flax seed, it is excellent for helping in constipation with a gel like substance when taken orally to keep you regular. I am going to try this recipe.
Aloe Vera gel is lovely too if you have a few plants around.
What another beautiful tutorial video. Flaxseed gel has been one of my favorite ingredients to incorporate in many products. And in case you don't know, the reason why flaxseed renders such a thick lovely gel, is because it's loaded with steric acid :-)
Thank you! And thank you for sharing, that's so interesting🤗
How do you store the left over flaxseed gel?
@@colleenmills8575 It will last in the fridge for up to about 5 days in a covered container. It does for me anyway. I try not to make more than I know I'll use up within a few days.
And stearic acid speeds trace, so does the recipe move quickly? Lovely soap and I am definitely trying this. I’m sending it to family in New Orleans and the water is hard.
@@SoNewOrleans1get some distilled water as is shown in the video..:-)
I Love your videos! No unnessary talking , you just show how to mkae the soaps and give the recipes...Great Job!
You could also extract the annatto seeds in lye after removing it from the oil. Annatto has colors that are soluble in strong alkalis. That way you'll get twice the color for your money.
Thank you so much for the tip, I'll have to try that some time🤗
Do you take it out of the oil and put it in the lye solution? For how long?
Tips only a genuine soap maker will tell you... Thanks for sharing
great tip!!
Love this beautiful soap, however, how did you get it that lovely yellow? Mine turned out quite orange 🍊 in colour.
I love you guys, the video maker and the nice comments makers, thank you all, may you all have a very nice day🙏!
I loved the piano music so gentle and calming while the bubbles in the hands looks so luxurious
I think this soap will be very moisturizing. The natural color of yellow is so beautiful.👏🏻👏🏻
Everything about this soap is beautiful. The texture, colour and the lather also looks so luxurious. Learnt quite a few new things from this beautifully made video. And yes, congratulations on the book, eager to get it. 🤗
Thank you so much, that's so nice of you😊 I hope you like the workbook!
Beautiful and subtle yellow color, very smooth soap. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.
Not sure if I want to go back to soap making...but watching your videos have surely got me thinking...maybe I'll go at it again. So soothing and peaceful.
It sounds like you might have to give it another chance😊
The aesthetics of this video...everything about it, is lovely! After being inspired by you, I used Flaxseed gel for the first time in a soap and I am IN LOVE!! It imparts a luxurious, silky slip that made me fall in love immediately! Even during mixing, my batter was shiny and buttery.
And the LATHER??!!! OHMUHGUHDNESS!! Bubbles Galore!!
Thank you for sharing this video! I'm going to check out your formulators book and probably add it to my soaping collection of amazing recipes and ideas!

beautiful reminds me of a lemon cake. I'd never have thought of using flax seed gel or this genius, I use the gel as a hair conditioner
What an informative and elegantly-produced video!! Thank you!!
Not only did I learn about this amazing property of flax seed in soap, but also the benefit of citric acid ! I can’t wait to try in the HP method I use. I appreciate your recipe very much💐 I am definitely a new subscriber
Thank you so much🥰
💚Thank you!
Never thought of using flax gel in soap. I will try 🌱
Awesome, let me know what you think of it😊
Amo ver você trabalhar 😊, é tão inspirador para mim. Obrigada ❤
Thank you for making a soap video showing recipe and how easy it is!!! And not talking all the time lol alot of videos are overwhelming and yours has helped me greatly!!
Awesome🤗
Thank you for sharing. This looks amazing. I just found your videos and will be watching more for sure. You are very kind.
Love the colour of this soap! I will try this soon.
Awesome🤗
Great ,very lovely. Unique ideas.
I used to make flaxseed gel to use on my hair. A lot of curly-haired people did a couple of decades ago because there weren't any products specifically made for curly hair. The industry caught on and now there are lots of products made with flax for curly hair. It's very nourishing as well as being just a great gel in general for hold.
Thank you for sharing😊
I've just come across your videos and they are absolutely wonderful! So beautifully made and full of so much useful info. Thanks so much! Such a treat! Greetings from Chile!💖
Aw thank you so much💝
I love your soap making process….
Oh so luxurious!!! Thanks for sharing. I will give the gel a try.
Awesome☺️
So relaxing 😌
Fantástic!!!!! Thank you for sharing
Irish moss is a great addition to spa bars. I made a lovely Dead sea mud soap this summer and I corporated sea moss and kelp powder. The soap was lovely.
Thank you for sharing, that sound like a wonderful soap🤗
The Sea moss and Dead Sea Mud must have made a very luxurious-feeling soap. I have researched using kelp powder in soap. Did it leave a distinct odor or did it fade with the cure? I know some people are able to compliment the odor with essential oils and fragrance oils. From what I’ve read, rosemary seemed to be the best one to use.
Does the kelp powder smell?
Beautiful tutorial
Beautiful thanks for sharing very peaceful
Thank you for sharing your videos, I love to watch it. I definitely will try to incorporate the flat seeds in my soaps. Now that I have the soap formulator ‘s workbook which is a great book. Thank you.
Thank you so much Nery I really appreciate your feedback🥰
Thanks for sharing this I love this
Beautiful soap
You are a filmproducer!!! Awsome
OMG this videoclip was like a therapy session:))))
Fist I thought you made a butter cookies or cake slice! What a lovely looking soaps, they looked delicious. Beautifully made, if I can have it, I don't have a heart to use it, so delicately luxurious. You are so talented.🥰
Aww thank you so much💝
My grandmother who had her own salon many years ago before store bought hair products were available, told me that this was her setting gel of days past. I'm anxious to give it a try in some soap too!
That's so interesting☺
My grandmother and her sisters all used flax gel in the 20’s and 30’s as hair gel. She thought it so funny when we would use flax seed on our oatmeal and in cookies. Just chewing on a pinch of seeds is so yummy.
What a beautiful video 🥰
Beautiful. Thank you. I definitely will try it. ❤️🌎🙏🏻💕
So interesting ! Never used flax seed like that 😍 And that colour...😍💛
Prekrasno,prekrasno blagodaram za ubaviot nacin na koj go pravite ovoj preubav sapun💝🌺🍀Macedonija
Thank you so much💝
that flax seed gel / citric acid are tip top. + your video style is so Asian, love it
Love your book sweet girl .
I'm going to have to try this.
What a cool idea to use flax seed gel to make soap! 💗💗Besides, because you used a transparent container, I could see the beautiful ingredients. I am always impressed by your extraordinary sense. You are the soaper who makes the most luxurious soaps using natural ingredients!
Thank you so much💖
Hermoso!! Primera vez que veo que usan mi querido Achiote en una receta de jabón. Yo lo uso macerado en el oliva y me va de maravilla. Saca color muy rápido, y el que consigo en Colombia es de un rojo mas intenso. Hermoso video!!
I have not been using citric acid I even didn't know how. Thanks ❤️❤️
thanks for sharing, I learnt so much from your channel!
I was not aware that flaxseed gel could be used in soap. Thank you for introducing me to that fact! And the music is so soothing; I loved your video. Very calming and insightful at the same time. Thanks again!
Thank you Shana!
Thank very much. For sharing your knowledge. You are a genius. Also thank you for the citric information I did not know that. Happy holidays.
Thank you so much😊 Happy holidays!
I love your videos they are amazing 👏
Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏿💕🙏🏿
Juste magnifique merci beaucoup a vous
Another great video thank you so much for sharing 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much💝
i am going to incorporate flaxseed in my next soap making..thanks for sharing .
What a beautiful, sunny yellow you achieved with the annatto infusion your soap is truly wonderful .. thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful tip on using the flax seed gel .. now I will give back to everyone watching another tip .. use avocado pulp puree to add extra creamy lather into any cp recipe you can also use in HT soap but it will darken your soap recipe with the cook .. I use the puree of one small avocado into a 5 pound recipe .. it creates such a rich,creamy soap 🤩..
Thank you so much and thank you for sharing your tip💝 I love avocado too!
@@jo1872 in cold or hot process soap the avocado pulp is basically “ cooked” into your soap batter so it doesn’t cause any issues with spoilage the lye technically dissolves it into oil/natural sugars .. the natural sugars and oil adds creamy lather to your soap recipe
Beautiful! I've used Chia Seed Gel and I see how this Flax seed gel would do the same! Will be trying this next. Thank you so kindly for the inspiration!
How does the chia seed work in your soap? 😮❤
Wow so beautiful ❣️😍
I'm captivated
Today was my very first time making CP soap. I've done a trial with M&P before. I chose yours for my first and I love the colour. Will see how it looks tomorrow.
Well I cut it and I am sincerely pleased with the result. Thank you so much for caring and sharing
OMG...love it, I thought about doing this but with Chia seeds
🥰 I want to try chia seeds too!
Oh my, if I were you at that moment where you ended the top decoration, I would have almost put that in my mouth as it looked like an amazing rich custard hahaha
Great book!!! I really enjoy your videos. They are very refine and nice. Good on you!
Because of my work, I have been many times in Finland. I usually go to Oulu. Nice country!
Best regards from Viña del Mar, Chile. Marco
Thanks for sharing 😊
Wow...a lot of ingredients
