This was a good comparison video. I’ve only used table salt in times where I wanted to unmold my soap the next day. I dissolve it in the water portion before adding lye. Never had any adverse effects when using it this way. I always wondered does it speed up cure time🤔

@teecee3143, what ratio to pounds of oil do you use for the salt? And, can you swap regular table salt for fine pink Himalayan do you think? THANKS!

@@ecpapa3 hello luv, I've never measured my salt, - for roughly a kilo, I use a heaped tablespoon of what we call here in Australia "cooking salt" (personally I don't think there's any difference between table and cooking salt- must be some marketing ploy here ). I've never tried Himalayan salt before. But I will tell you there is an Australian soaper who uses sea water to make her soap (she lives by the coast in the tropics so the water is pristine).

Please how can measure powders,salt or liquid to add to oils example if I use 100g of oils ??
@blackhands301

I don’t make batches that small but I think 2% of your oils is reasonable. With powders it depends on the type of powder or the hue of color you want. Liquids as in water can be calculated on a soap calculator. You can use milk to replace all or some of the water. Did that answer your question?

I use Sea Salt. I dissolve it in my lye water. 2 tbls in my 2 pound mold. It also depends on your soap recipe. If i have butters in it i use 1.

I really like the way un-iodized table salt or pink sea salt hardens my soap, I don’t like the soda ash that covers the outside of it though so I have been spraying the outside with rubbing alcohol as soon as I un-mould it and that seems to help prevent it. Great video, thanks!

@@handmadevintage1670 thanks. Now I cover my soap immediately if I don’t have alcohol and it remains covered for at least 24 hours. That has helped with soda ash.

This is helpful. I am really not wanting to use SL because it’s synthetic. But I do appreciate how your video shows that with some designs, maybe SL is just the way to go
