The skiers race through beautiful trails with birches and all manner of trees. We first make the tree embeds and then make a second batch and implement the tree into the landscape. This was a larger batch that made 60 bars so we had to work quickly and forgo some design detail aspects and opt for a generally less detailed landscape. Stamp was made by a friend of mine that owns a 3D printer. Blue color was achieved with indigo premixed in sunflower oil and color as desired. When gelling the soap, it really helps the blue come through more strongly. Please follow all safety precautions when making soap!

My name is Julie, and in this video, we make soap with blanched, dehydrated fiddleheads. Fiddleheads are a wild fern that grows locally and is the "rage" to consume in season. We usually have an excess, so we blanched the extra and dehydrated it, to be able to add to soups, smoothies and, you guessed it, SOAP. It adds a nice freckled color and just a little bit of exfoliation. Please follow all safety precautions when making soap. This is a basic tutorial only and does not cover basic safety protocols.

Easier than you might think!SNIF Natural Soapmaking2021-02-26 | In this video we make a 4 pound batch of pine tar soap which is said to be gentle on the skin, especially for those with skin sensitivities. I used ingredients that are also fairly gentle, yet cleansing and so nice for skin. This tutorial is geared for those who understand the basics of soap making and is geared towards moderately experienced soap makers.
Basic Pine Tar Soap (30% water, 6% superfat): 12.8 oz coconut oil (20%) 38.4oz organic lard (60%) 6.4oz olive oil (I infused calendula into mine-optional) (10%) 6.4 oz pine tar (10%) water 19.2 oz lye (NaOH) 8.37
I like to keep my pine tar soap unscented, but you could definitely scent it with what you would prefer.
Goat Milk Variation Pine Tar Soap (milk in oil method) All oils same as above except add 9oz of goat milk to oils. Lye amount is the same, but you dissolve lye in 10.2oz of water rather than 19.2. Please ask if you have questions!
Always run any soap recipe through a soap calculator, including the recipe above. Always follow safety precautions when making soap. I find lard, and calendula infused olive oil are both really gentle and creamy for skin. The coconut oil is at 20% and helps induce a lather as the pine tar seems to decrease lathering capabilities.

Paprika - I purchase from a health food store, buy fresh and not old spices that have been sitting on a shelf forever. You will get oranges and I have seen some people get reds. Indigo - Blues Indigo is very strong, and you do not need much to get colors. Alkanet Root - Purples for best results is to make sure your batch goes through gel stage. Annatto Seeds - You can sometimes find this as health food stores. YOu can also use the entire seed to infuse. Himalayan Rhubarb - Hot Pinks - You do not want to shake the bottles before using this. You want the top yellow oil. When using infusions, do not shake the bottle before use. Use the top oils. Fill your glass containers 20-35% full of plant materials and the rest with a light colors liquid oil. The first few weeks, shake your bottles once a day. Some infusions can be used with in 14 days, but may be weak. I like to infuse 4-8 weeks. I make them and leave them in a dark cupboard. Plant colors will fade more that synthetic colors. Best to store finished bars in a cool dark place.Resin Soap Dishes: so EASY to make, my children started their own mini business!SNIF Natural Soapmaking2021-01-02 | This informative video explains how to make these soap dishes, easy enough for kids to make (with proper guidance on safety and instruction!)

The biggest thing to do is once your oils are warmed split them into approximately 1/2. Add the pine tar to the one that has slightly less oil. Make your lye/milk ready Add your the second 1/2 of the oils (the one with slightly more) to the lye/milk solution and bring to light trace. Have all your moulds ready to go becuase this next bit will go fast. Add your oil and pine tar mix to the milk/lye/oil mix and gently but quickly hand stir together. Get it into your moulds before it becomes soap on your spatula!
