That soap bagger was so luscious and creamy. Such a pleasure to watch! 🤎 🧼

To much talking not necessary

The true castile soap was made in Spain in the Castile region roughly translated to "the land of castles" 😊 the french people later on developed the Marseilles soap with 72% olive oil, also a wonderful soap 🤔😊🙏

It's ok I Like it

What size mold is the large one hold?.. thank you so much!!

You go ahead and call your beautiful soap anything you want! I believe you've earned that right🫧🩷🫧 and bottom line, your soap your choice❤ My daughter and I have tried new soaping techniques, packaging suggestions, and tools because of you! We are in the business of making and selling quality handcrafted soaps and your willingness to kindly and generously share is greatly appreciated. We recently made our very first rendition of "castile" soap. Does it have 100% olive oil? Nope but you better believe we're working "castile" somewhere into our bar's name 😅 Thank you so much, Ellen❤

I tried this recipe it turned out stiff. I was able to heat the lotion and add more water and oils to get the percentages to the correct range and achieved the consistency wanted. Think the emulsifying wax should be .4 oz. Once corrected this is a very lovely lotion. Thank you for the recipe 🥰

Great video. I'm planning to try it. Following your exactly recipe, if I wanted to add sodium lactate, how much would you recommend? Thanks.

I used black soap growing up, but cannot use it on my face. My face has eczema and burns easily. In my skincare business, I was trying to figure out how I could make something with black soap that even people with sensitive skin can use it ... this excited me! I am going to try it at 10% and add a combination of turmeric, kaolin clay, and oatmeal with manuka honey. I'm excited to experiment with it and see ... if my face can take it, I know it's a WINNER! Ellen, thank you for always having amazing content. I enjoy watching your videos even while I work.

As the laurel berry oil is so expensive just cut open the plastic bottle and get it all out with a spatula 😊. Love your version, it’s beautiful ❤

The promo code does not work but I look forward to using your recipe

your channel is AMAZING..Thanks for all the amazing recipes.. ****if you don't want to us coconut oil you could replace it with tallow***(which will be just as amazing but not vegan)

Bars of gold Ellen both in colour and I’d say cost to make, just lovely I looked at the oil here in Aus when you did an earlier video but afraid my budget didn’t allow purchase so I will just have to enjoy watching you. Thanks again

Ellen what are those type of shrink wraps called? The one you put around your jars & lids? Thanks

Thank you @Ellen for the video. Also I am glad to see you support another soap vendor like BeScented.

Great video, thank you for sharing. I tried your link for the sunflower and it takes me to safflower oil instead. I tried goggling the Octavio brand and couldn’t find it anywhere. Some of the other brands are quite expensive.

GORGEOUS!!!❤❤❤

Such a beautiful gold colour 🎉

Amazing formulation and formulator... How long does this formulation take to cure?

Oh my God… That moon press ideal is genius! And I have a triangle one a square one and round it one. #ThePossibilities.

Love, love this recipe....Thanks....going to make some Valentine gifts for my daughter-in-laws.

How would I go about using goatsmilk? As well as tallow for oils?

Thanks. I have been wondering about Aleppo. Thanks also for modifying it to more accurately reflect the current pocketbook...lol.

This is beautiful! Would love to see the pine tar soap that you mentioned 😁

I love it! Beautiful soap, simple but elegant🥰 I know I have said it many times but I just love watching your videos, makes me a better soap maker!

I am so enjoying all of your videos! I too have been using some high oleic sunflower oil in my soaps in place of olive. I had a great source but it seems to have gone away. I was excited to see your large container of sunflower oil, but when I click on the link it takes me to a small container of safflower oil. Any idea where I can find the jug that you use? Thanks for your help, and keep up with the great videos!

Yes it's very expensive!! Tested my 7 month old and it's great but giving it one year still.

Awesome, do you make tallow balm , and if so what do you use to cover the smell ? Thank you

Also if I wanted to make a big batch of this, the same size as your large mold, can I triple this?

Hi Ellen, can I replace cupuaca butter with mango butter?

African soap last week and Aleppo soap this week. You're getting exotic right now.

Hello, so I'm going to try and make this again. Im not sure if i over whipped it or under whipped it the first time or what but it started off fluffy and then ounce i gor it into my containers and then the next day it was hard...almost like butter. Any thoughts?

Where did you find that big container from you mix the oils in?

Aloha from Hawaii! Mahalo nui, thank you, for sharing your knowledge and educating us aspiring soap makers. You're top-notch!! I have a question, have you tried making soap with Macadamia nut milk?

Wonderful video Mrs.Ellen!

I like how you put it in like a muffin tin lol

I can’t wait to make this 🎉❤!

I am so glad you received these kits and made them for us to see the ease of doing them. Because you showed us how great and easy the kits are I am going to go order some kits. Thank you.

what brand of scale do you have?

I love how you play it by ear. i would too.

❤

If you're interested to try soaps from around the world, I suggest you to try "sabun lerak" aka soapberry soap from my country Indonesia, it's a gentle detergents because the berries produced natural foam when rubbed with water making them a sustainable and chemical free soap. But you can always add your twist 😊

Great video Ellen. I just started lowering my olive oil by half and replacing the other half with sunflower oil to help bring down the cost of my soaps. Thanks for the tip on the mooncake press. I immediately ordered one on Amazon after just watching your video. 😆 I was able to find a press with a flower icon that I use in my business so these soaps will be on brand. I love the idea of adding these mini soaps as extras to sell at markets. I will definitely be doing that. Thanks again!!

Can you make a Cocoa Butter Cashmere body oil? 💕💕💕💕 I love this soap too!!!

Traditional Aleppo soapmaking is so fascinating! I bought two enormous bars while on holiday last year. I haven't used it yet because it's so special lol. I would love to try making something similar someday!

Such a wonderful video, thank you.

So lovely, Ellen! I love the at you're using you triple tall & skinny mold. Feels like old times. 😁

Im here for it , Ellen!! Could you possibly do moroccan beldi soap, or African azuma blows, id love to see your version. Or how about an ayurvedic soap?

Gorgeous soap! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m a soap maker because of you and your videos! Very instructional and your sweet personality is very inspiring. Please make a bastille soap recipe also. Thank you Ellen, you are the best.

Hello!! I'm new to emulsifying waxes and preservatives and previously made a magnesium lotion but without an emulsifying wax, after some time my lotion would sweat and became grainy, so I'm glad I found your recipe!! Can you help me understand how to make this lotion thinner so it could go in a bump bottle? I just like to stay away from sticking my hands in jars often lol I appreciate your efforts and this amazing video!!!
