    Thankful so much for giving us the tools such as the conversion calculator. I am new to having to figure out how much of what to use. I learned from kits. But mostly from watching soap makers such as yourself. I don’t intend to sell but I like the creativity. By the end of my group of kits I followed the directions on how to make the soap but I ventured out on decorating it with swirls etc.

    Dear Teri, despite the thin soap slab produced by the larger mold, I really like that technique of making those dots by using the squeeze bottles. I learn something new every time I watch a new video of yours. I continue to be so tickled by your consummate weighing and measuring of ingredients. Your presentation is professional. You speak well and have a pleasant voice. I like how you sometimes speed up the video to "get to the good stuff". It's all good! Your videography is top notch. You are the "Rachael Ray" of soap making!

    • @TreeMarieSoapworks
      @TreeMarieSoapworks  Před 4 lety

      I would suggest making a simple no color, no fragrance batch for your first batch. Use the distilled water ice cubes for 1/3 of your water weight. That make the smell less intense. (I can't smell anything when I use the ice cubes.) Here is a beginner tutorial I have made for Elements. www.elementsbathandbody.com/basic-cold-process-soap-recipe/

    Gorgeous soap--as usual! Your comment about the yellow not being quite as bright as you'd've liked is a challenge I've had. I found that adding a bit of neon orange to my orange mica (or yellow neon to yellow mica) at about 1/4 tsp neon to 3/4 tsp mica really helps the color to pop without going full neon (though I DO love hard-core neon!). :) Thanks for the great video and sharing your talents with us!

    I love your soaps. A question: I want to try to colour my soaps with herbs and vegetables. If I was going to add those natural colourants to this soap, is there anything I should be aware of? Can I go on and add my botanicals on top of your recipe? And what about fragrance? If I don't use fragrance, would the oils have an "oily" smell? Thanks for sharing.

    • @TreeMarieSoapworks
      @TreeMarieSoapworks  Před 4 lety

      There is no need for fragrance. People say that my unscented soaps smell like "soap," so no oily smell. If you put botanicals on top of your soap, they often turn brown. Wait around 20 minutes to add the botanicals to the top and that helps. I have never had much luck; perhaps that's because I gel my soaps. In soap most botanicals turn brown. Calendula is an exception. Soap colored with natural ingredients often fades when exposed to light. You will just have to research and test it in small batches. Best of luck to you! 💛

    • @cd8053

    When you add the olive oil to your colorants, is this oil in addition to the calculated oils, or are they included in the total oils for the recipe?

    Ah, thanks for the trypophobia warning! This one didn't really bother me personally, but I can see why it would squick some people. I've actually started collecting the air packaging bags to use for various things now, thanks to you mentioning it before. They look gorgeous! 😍
    I actually saw someone else asking on their video about colour coming out less (intense after gel phase... IIRC she mentioned she thought it was related to the very big water discount she was using - I don't know if that's any use, though. It surprised me because I'd always heard that gel phase means more vivid colours generally, but now you've mentioned it too.

      I have a touch of that phobia and soap usually doesn't bother me either, but I can see that is would bother some.
      Gelling usually does make colors more intense. It just is tricky with some colors. I keep thinking that some colors will work "this time." It bothers me that I can't understand it. I am going to have to do some testing. I don't think it would be from the water discount though. 🤔

      @@TreeMarieSoapworks Well that's what the few people I saw who commented said too... but the soaper was fairly convinced. I wondered if maybe it was a temperature thing because I believe that the water content affects the temperature at which gelling happens? So maybe the super heavy water discount meant having to get it to a temperature that somehow affected it (IIRC she was using something like mid-20s for water percentage?). But again, I'm just spit-balling what could possibly have done that to make them okay at higher water levels but less intense at lower ones from the bit of soap science I know.

    • @TreeMarieSoapworks
      @TreeMarieSoapworks  Před 4 lety

      It would be nice to crack the code! I know that a water discount causes saponification to happen more quickly, so because of that, I force gel. Otherwise, the gel doesn't tend to get out to the edges. I did use 25% "water as a percentage of oil weight." Can you give me a link to the video, please? I would like to check it out.

      She was also using a yellow mica now I've watched it again, and someone else in the comments mentioned about yellows being a little funny, and someone else suggested maybe it's a reaction between the lye and the mica/pigment in it directly. Either way, if you figure it out, I'd love to know why.

    • @TreeMarieSoapworks
      @TreeMarieSoapworks  Před 4 lety

      I am even more convinced that it comes from gelled soap. Her partial-gel is probably to blame on the water discount, but it is clear that the gelled soap caused the yellow to go pale.
      High water soaps gel at a lower temperature. Lower water means it's harder to gel, often causing parital-gel. That's why I force gel.
      Thank you so much for sharing the link. 😊

    Hi Teri, if I was to do as suggested to increase the batter Caribbean Kiss from 40 to 70% do I decrease something else or increase my batch size.

    • @TreeMarieSoapworks
      @TreeMarieSoapworks  Před 4 lety

      I would decrease the others, but one other thing you can do is to keep it the same and put some color on the bottom and then add the Caribbean Kiss batter, then you will have some design on the bottom.

    You had mentioned the humidity and it taking longer to cure. I live in Illinois with the Ohio River 2 blocks from my house and I had noticed my soaps take longer to be ready to unmold. Do you use a dehumidifier to help??

    • @TreeMarieSoapworks
      @TreeMarieSoapworks  Před 4 lety

      Yes, that would explain it. I run a fan in the room that I cure my soaps in. Try turning them every few days. You could use a dehumidifier in the same room, just make sure to turn them in that case because they can cure unevenly and bow. Do you use a water discount? I use "25% water as a % of oil weight" in soapcalc. Also, sodium lactate helps especially if you are using lots of olive oil. What is your ratio of saturated to unsaturated fats in the upper right corner of your soapcalc printout? I use 43:57-ish for swirls. Make sure your unsaturated number doesn't go any higher than 57%.

    • @barefoot3077
      @barefoot3077 Před 4 lety

      @@TreeMarieSoapworks I will try the fan idea, I just tried the sodium lactate and it worked much better. My water is at 32%, I haven't tried to water discount yet but it is worth a go. The sat: unsat is at 41:59, going to play around with it and get the unsat number lower as per your recommendation. Thank you so much for replying, I am really new to this and it is a lot of fun but can be a bit frustrating when I have batches ruined. Have a wonderful day.

    I wonder something that is not connected to the soap making, just curiosity about the language. Why americans use so much "my" for everything? My butter, my oil, my mold...my my my. I tried to translate it to my language but sound so possessive, we don't use "my" for everything. Is it slang or it's how it should be said?

      I pick my ingredients to have a balanced recipe. It needs to be a hard bar but moisturizing. How about you let me know the oils and butters you have available. I have a recipe that I used olive oil, coconut oil, and castor oil, but I don't use that often because I don't consider it to be balanced. czcams.com/video/ScKG0HkZTOk/video.html
