YOGURTERA PARA HACER EXTRACTOS 🌿 Unboxing y maceración para jabones y cosmética

🌿 Can a yogurt maker be used to prepare botanical extracts for soap making and homemade cosmetics? In this video, I unbox my new yogurt maker and explain how I plan to use it to prepare hydroglycerin extracts, oil infusions, vinegar macerations, and other small cosmetic preparations. A yogurt maker can be very useful for maintaining gentle, consistent heat during the maceration process, without having to constantly monitor a double boiler. I will mainly use it to prepare small batches of extracts for melt-and-pour soap, facial toners, hair toners, and handmade cosmetics. In this video, we talk about: ✨ Yogurt maker unboxing and features 🌿 How to use it to speed up the maceration process 🌡️ The importance of controlling the temperature 🧴 Hydroglycerin extracts for melt-and-pour soap 🫒 Oil infusions and oil macerations 🍎 Vinegar-based extracts and toners 🍶 Tinctures and alcohol-based macerations 🧼 Which extracts are best suited for melt-and-pour soap 🔥 Why hydroglycerin extracts are not the best option for cold-process soap 🧊 Storage, filtering, and the use of preservatives 💡 Alternative ways to make extracts without a yogurt maker The yogurt maker shown in this video includes jars with a capacity of approximately 160 ml, which is a suitable size for preparing small batches. To prepare larger quantities of infused oils for cold-process soap, you would need larger containers or use the traditional maceration method. A yogurt maker is not essential for making extracts. They can also be prepared using traditional maceration by leaving the plant material in the solvent for approximately two weeks, protected from light and heat, and shaking the jar every day. However, gentle and consistent heat can help speed up the process and provide better temperature control. ⚠️ It is important to work with clean, sanitized utensils, watch for any changes in smell or appearance, and check for signs of contamination. An appropriate preservative should be used whenever the formula contains water. Shelf life and storage conditions will depend on the ingredients, the preparation method, and hygiene during the process. Very soon, I will use this yogurt maker to prepare a hair toner for oily hair with apple cider vinegar, rosemary, nettle, and chamomile. We will also make new extracts using green tea, fruits, flowers, roots, and plants to incorporate into our soaps and cosmetic preparations. Thank you to Mila for recommending this idea. 💚 Tell me in the comments: do you use a yogurt maker, a double boiler, or do you prefer the traditional maceration method to prepare your extracts?
