For those looking for the soap recipe I used in today’s video, it is written out in my video description, but I thought it would be helpful to post here so you don’t have to go search for it.🫶🏻
SOAP RECIPE:
Ingredients: (These are my measurements, you should always put your ingredients into a soap calculator online to ensure accuracy for your specific recipe).
Free online calculator:
soapcalc.net/
Click “Recipe calculator,” enter your desired ingredients & it will calculate the correct measurements for you.😊
32 oz. tallow
4.34 oz. lye
12.16 oz. water OR milk of your choice (I use sheep milk)
1.5 fl. oz. essential oils (optional) I used lavender & rosemary
Spray bottle with rubbing alcohol
Dried herbs/flowers (optional)
1. Prior to making your soap, freeze your milk in cubes. If you're using water you can skip this step. Weigh tallow and melt it down. You can use a crock pot, double boiler or microwave. Try to keep the tallow at 100F, if it goes over, just allow it to cool to 100F before continuing.
2. Put your milk cubes (or water) in a heat safe bowl (I use glass). Wearing gloves and safety goggles, carefully and slowly pour the lye into the milk (or water) a little at a time. Stir gently. Use a temperature gun to continuously check the temperature of your lye. Continue to stir the lye solution until the temperature stops rising. Don't hover over the bowl as the fumes can be harmful.
3. Carefully pour the lye solution into the tallow.
4. Use an immersion blender to mix the soap. Keep the blender under the mixture so that it doesn't splash you as this can cause chemical burns. The mixture will grow creamy. Mix until it has reached “trace,” the light pudding consistency.
5. Add essential oils (if using) and blend to incorporate.
6. Pour soap into mold, sprinkle dried herbs/flowers if using & spritz the loaf with a little rubbing alcohol & cover with a towel.
7. After 24 hours, remove soap from the mold and slice it into bars. Let cure in an area with good airflow for 4 weeks.
Enjoy!🫶🏻
