Introduction to Making Foamy Glycerin Soaps

In this section, the speaker introduces the topic of making foamy glycerin soaps and discusses the disappointment that can arise when a soap does not generate enough foam.

Understanding Foam in Handmade Soaps

• Foam in handmade soaps is created naturally through the presence of different oils, with coconut oil being one of the most commonly used.

• Glycerin soap bases, which are pre-made with oils, should also produce a good amount of foam on their own.

The Importance of Proper Additive Quantities

• If a soap made with a good quality base still generates little foam, it may be due to excessive use of additives, especially if the recipe includes oils and vegetable butters.

• It is common for beginners to believe that more additives will result in better skin benefits, but this may not be true.

Finding the Right Balance

• It is recommended to stay within 8-9% of total liquid and dry additives in order to maintain a balanced soap that generates sufficient foam.

• Using too much oil can clog pores and hinder the cleansing function of the soap.

Example Calculation

• As an example, if you want to make a 100g almond soap, using 10% almond oil (10g) may seem tempting. However, it is advised to use less than 10% for better foam production.

• Experimentation through trial and error has shown that staying below the 10% limit leads to better results.

Testing Foam Levels with Different Ingredients

This section focuses on conducting a foam test using various ingredients while emphasizing that results may vary depending on the quality of the soap base used.

Ingredient List for Foam Test

1. Glycerin soap base without additives.

2. Olive oil (2g for 100g of base).

3. Coconut oil (1g for 100g of base).

4. Shea butter (2g for 100g of base).

Observations from the Foam Test

• The glycerin soap base alone produces a high level of foam due to the presence of coconut oil in its formulation.

• Adding olive oil to the base increases foam production.

• Coconut oil, when added in small quantities, enhances foam and leaves a pleasant feeling on the skin.

• Shea butter, known for its healing properties and sun protection, contributes to an acceptable level of foam.

Conclusion

In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of achieving proper foam levels in handmade glycerin soaps. They emphasize finding the right balance between additives and staying within a recommended percentage range. A foam test is conducted using different ingredients to demonstrate their impact on foam production. It is important to note that results may vary depending on the quality of the soap base used.

Ingredients for Making Soap

This section discusses the different ingredients used in soap making and their properties.

Suave y abundante este ingrediente genera la espuma perfecta para los jabones de afeitar

• The ingredient mentioned here is known for generating the perfect foam for shaving soaps.

Número 6 arcilla caolín o mejor conocida como arcilla blanca

• Kaolin clay, also known as white clay, is recommended for soaps intended for oily or combination skin types.

• It helps remove excess oil from the skin and deeply cleanses the pores.

• Adding 3 grams of kaolin clay per 100 grams of soap base increases foam production.

• Clays are excellent at fixing aromas in soaps.

Número 7 glicerina vegetal en presentación líquida

• Vegetable glycerin is commonly used in natural cosmetics due to its high moisturizing power.

• It can be purchased at craft stores, drugstores, or pharmacies.

• Adding liquid vegetable glycerin to a glycerin soap base can increase its foam level.

• Glycerin is naturally created during the soap-making process when caustic soda is mixed with fatty acids.

Lo interesante es que esta sustancia se crea de manera natural en los jabones cuando mezclamos la sosa cáustica con los ácidos grasos

• Glycerin is naturally created during the soap-making process when caustic soda is mixed with fatty acids.

• Commercial soap bases also contain added liquid glycerin as a solvent.

Número 8 la miel

• Honey adds moisturizing and antibacterial properties to soaps.

• Adding 3 grams of honey per 100 grams of soap base can increase foam production.

• Honey contains sugars that are commonly used in soap making.

Número 9 vitamina e

• Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects the skin and prevents oils from going rancid.

• Adding 4 drops of vitamin E per 100 grams of soap base is recommended.

• It can be found in liquid or capsule form.

Número 10 aceites para masajes

• Massage oils, such as almond, avocado, grape seed, or coconut oil, can be used in soap making.

• These oils are safe for the skin and may have moisturizing properties.

• There are alternative wrapping methods that can be used to preserve soap.

• The impact of certain wrapping materials on the environment is a concern.

• These alternatives will be discussed in a future video.

Summary

This transcript section discusses various ingredients used in soap making, including kaolin clay, vegetable glycerin, honey, vitamin E, and massage oils. It highlights their properties and recommended quantities for enhancing foam production or moisturizing effects. Additionally, it mentions using kitchen cling film as a wrapping method to preserve soap and suggests exploring alternative wrapping options in a future video.

How to Get Foam in Natural Soap

This section discusses different alternatives for creating foam in soap, including natural options and commercially available additives.

Natural Alternatives for Foam

• Coconut betaine is a yellow, viscous substance derived from coconut oil.

• Sodium laureth sulfate is a powerful cleansing agent extracted from coconut and palm oil.

• Both coconut betaine and sodium laureth sulfate are approved by Ecocert as cosmetic-grade ingredients and considered safe for use.

Personal Opinion on Additives

• The speaker personally believes that using additives like coconut betaine or sodium laureth sulfate in handmade soap would be cheating and contradict the ethical values of artisanal soapmaking.

• Artisanal soap users often prefer natural ingredients and avoid synthetic additives found in commercial products.

• However, it is acknowledged that these additives are safe to use as they are approved by Ecocert. The decision to use them ultimately lies with the individual soapmaker.

Quality of Artisanal Soap

• Artisanal soaps can have pleasant aromas, textures, colors, and generate ample foam.

• A well-formulated artisanal soap with quality ingredients can produce even more foam than those made with synthetic ingredients.

Secret Ingredient for Foam in Glycerin Soap

• The best ingredient for creating foam in glycerin soap is liquid glycerin.

• It is important to use the correct amount of glycerin to avoid ending up with a soft bar of soap that lacks functionality.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

In this final section, the speaker concludes the video by emphasizing the importance of not wasting natural resources and encourages experimentation with different quantities when making soap.

Final Remarks

• The water used in making the video will not go to waste but instead be used to clean the house.

• It is important to avoid wasting natural resources.
