Neon Embed Cold Process Soap Video #tbt

Neon Embed Cold Process Soap

It’s another throw-back Thursday video! This one features Kristy Schemrich, an amazingly talented soapmaker and teacher at our 2011 Soap Weekend Intensive (when we filmed this video). This soap has many steps but once you break it down the technique is surprisingly easy. It’s been wonderful looking back through the archives, we clearly had so much fun filming with Kristy as you can see from this blooper reel.

That was fun! I bet you want to learn how to make this gorgeous soap now. Since this is a more advanced project, you should be comfortable making CP soap. This basic series on making cold process soap is a great place to start. How to line a wood mold is also very helpful for this project, learn how here.

  1. This is one FUN looking soap, in phase 1, what size pipe do we use? and can the caps be bought with the pipe? Phase 2, does the water that is used to mix the goats milk powder have to be discounted from the water that goes in the lye? Or do we discount the total amount of milk that goes in the oil, from the water? I hope I make sense? Also, if I am using a smaller size mold, I would have to buy a piece of pipe that would fit the entire length of that mold, correct? Not sure if this recipe could be used in a smaller mold then what you all are using, if using a smaller pipe we would have to find something smaller then a soup can to push that tubed soap out. I’m a beginner soaper but would just absolutely love to someday soon make this awesome soap. While I was watching I was also thinking to myself that MAYBE a pringles can would work for a shorter mold. I live in Canada, the shipping costs are a bit up there when ordering from brambleberry, but as soon as I can save up enough money I have a goal to make a nice order from you, I just dream of having me some nice brambleberry products…I can’t WAIT <3 Thanks for posting this video, I really can't get enough of Anne Marie…she's pretty famous in my house.

    • Hi Tammy!

      You can use any size PVC pipe you like! You may also like our Heavy Duty Column Mold, which comes with a cap: https://www.brambleberry.com/Heavy-Duty-Column-Mold-P5401.aspx

      Also, the water used to mix the goat milk does not need to be discounted. The goat milk powder is mixed into the water. Then, the lye is added to the goat milk mixture. In essence, the powder is mixed into the water which turns it into milk. That is the liquid needed for your recipe. Let me know if that makes sense! 🙂

      If you are using a smaller mold, you can use a smaller pipe or cut your soap to fit your mold. Either way works fine! If you do use a smaller mold, you will have to use something smaller to push it out. Anything smooth and round work work!

      You can use a Pringles can if you like, just make sure to line it with freezer paper. I believe Pringles cans have aluminum. Aluminum can react with the lye and create toxic fumes, so lining it is a must. 🙂

  2. Hi Kelsey
    I think i understand it .
    Ihave to make the goatsmilk with the 8.5 oz of distilled water and then put the dry lye in to this mixture.
    If you look at the video of this recepi you can see that Kristy is putting the lye mixture in to the bowl and than puts the goatmilk mixture in to the bowl so that is why i did not understand this.
    So please tell me if i have it right this time.
    Make the goatmilk mixture with 8.5oz of distilled water and then put in the dry lye.
    Thanks for helping me with this, mariska

    • Hi Mariska!

      That is correct! Make the goat milk mixture then add the dry lye to that. Kristy adds her water and goat milk separately to phase two, but you can simplify that by combining them and adding them together. 🙂

  3. Hi there.
    I was looking at the recipe for the imbedded neon cp soap.
    Phase 2, the main soap needs 3.6oz NaOH.
    It also needs 8,1 oz destilled water with 1 oz goatsmilk.
    Can you [please tell me if i also have to put 8.1 oz of destilled water with the NaOH?
    Or do i have to put the goatsmilk in to the lye.
    Hope you can help me with this.
    Thanks, mariska

    • Hi Mariska!

      That’s a great question! To use the powdered goat milk, mix 1 ounce into warm distilled water and stir until it’s fully incorporated. Then, chill that liquid in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. Then, add the lye slowly and carefully into the water and powdered goat milk mixture. 🙂

      • Hi kelsey,
        So please tell me if i understand this oke.
        I have to mix 8.5 oz distilled water with my lye and then 8.1 oz distilled water extra with my goatsmilk powder?.
        So in total i have to use 16.6 oz of distilled water?
        Hope you can give me the exact total of distilled water i have to use for this recipe.
        Sorry for all the questions, i’m from Holland so we measure different then you do so i want to be sure that i have everything in the correct amounts.
        Thanks, Mariska

        • Hi Mariska!

          For this recipe, there are two different phases of soap. That means the first phase, which uses 10.9 ounces of water, would be mixed separately.

          Then, when you go to make the second phase of soap, you can use 8.5 ounces of the goat milk powder and distilled water mixture.

          So, this recipe calls for 19.4 ounces of distilled water total, but the water is used in two phases. Let me know if you have any other questions! 🙂
