the olive oil makes for a creamy bubble-less soft bar that moisturizes but does not clean very well. coconut makes for a very bubbly-bar that cleans very aggressively and can dry your skin. by mixing olive and coconut (usually 1:5 - 1:3 coconut to olive, you will get a decently hard bar that is creamy, bubbly, moisturizing and a good cleaning bar. A few things worth mentioning here for anyone new to soap making and considering giving this a go. 1, the recipe she uses here is a really decent all around good recipe. If you wish to experiment with smaller batches as you learn, there are several LYE CALCULATORS online. just google them. these calculators will allow you to add whatever amounts of different oils you want, and then calculate for you how much lye and water (or tea or goats milk) to use for whatever size batches you want to make. 2: olive oil is an oil that takes longer than other oils to reach trace. so if you want to get creative where you split your main batch of soap into smaller containers that can be colored differently and then re-combined into a single mold with swirls and streaks, this recipe is ideal as it will reach a light trace and you still have time to mix and pour. the more coconut oil or least amount of olive oil you use, the faster it will thicken to the point where you cannot pour it and swirl it easily. And 3: if you do not want to wait six weeks to try your soap out, mix your recipe in a slow cooker (one dedicated for soap and will not be used for food again). Follow her same procedures of using a stick blender alternating between blending and stirring until a thick trace is reached. thick trace will be the consistency of slightly watery pudding. once that is done, turn the slow cooker on low or medium heat, place the lid on top, and leave it alone for about 30 minutes. As it nears completion, you will see the soap rise on the sides looking somewhat translucent like vasolene. Use a wire wisk and stir it well and let it cook for another 10 minutes. when it is done, if you pinch a little sample and touch it to your tongue, it should only feel a bit waxy and taste a bit soapy. if you taste it and it 'zaps' your tongue slightly like touching a 9 volt battery to your tongue, then it is not ready yet and there is still some lye left that has not saponified. let it cook a bit more until it tastes and feels only like warm soapy wax. *note, the sample for this need only be very tiny. Once your soap is complete and safe, it will now be about the same consistency as mashed potatoes. turn the heat off, and let it sit and cool for about ten minutes. at this point you can add your super fats (like a tablespoon of jojoba or palm kernnel or lanolin etc). about a table spoon per pound of soap, your fragrant oils (you can use essential oils on this hot process soap since the lye is used up during the cooking phase and will not destroy the natural EO. cold process soap still has active lye in it and so will destroy some of your essential oil fragrances. for cold process soap, Fragrant oils (FO) may be a better option than all natural essential (EO). you can also add color at this point as well, before scooping your soap into your molds. Because the hot process soap is thicker like mashed potatoes, you can color it, but it is much harder if not impossible to get the fine lines and swirls possible with cold processing, however there are techniques that allow some swirling. Excellent video, a great introductory recipe for beginners! In summary, if you want to try your soap right away, simply follow this video but mix your oils and lye in your crock-pot/slow cooker instead of a stainless bowl, and then heat on low to medium for 30 - 40 minutes. hot process soap is ideal for those not looking to go fancy right away and who just want to make a good all natural soap bar you can use right away. ***last note- you can add a tablespoon of sugar to your water or tea BEFORE adding lye to your water, to increase bubbiness. if you add sugar after lye, the sugar will harden into gunk at the bottom, so dissolve the sugar in water first. ***final note: using goat's milk instead of tea or water is not as straight forward. get good at regular soap before attempting to use milk. the rason being is the lye and heat will scortch milk and ruin your soap. in order to make goats milk soap, the milk must be weighed and frozen before hand and the batch much be kept very cool. keeping your stainless mixing bowl inside another pot full of ice, you add your lye to the frozen milk, add your scents, blend it and mix it to trace as quickly as possible, pour into your molds, and then place outside in the winter time, or directly in your fridge to six for 4 to 6 weeks. it is not possible to hot process any milk based soaps.

Olive oil cleans just fine, that's why you get castile soap (100% olive oil). The mix of olive oil & coconut oil is a bastille soap and it is more cleansing, but some people are allergic to coconut, so the castile is more sensitive, and better for sensitive skin, including babies.

Olive oil, coconut oil soap is my fav. A batch that size I would make in a 3.5 gallon food storage bucket. (Less splashing)Also the meat or cheese thermometer works great.....easier to clean. This soap recipe retains all the natural glycerin and is non-drying. I even use it on my face. Don't forget to rotate and flip the bars while they finish curing (8 weeks). They will dry more evenly.

Yes, it's as easy to make as you show it here, and using it is such a pleasure! This soap has the creamiest lather, and it leaves your skin feeling clean and soft. One small word of caution: Be careful who you share this soap with - They will LOVE it and want more!!

I'm making soap this weekend....I can't wait for the smells...I use rose oil because I love that girly rose smell. I actually made my own rose oil this time so, I'm excited to see how it'll smell in my soap. My son is gone, too, so I'm getting into making my own infused oils for stuff.....I made orange oil, lemon oil....It cleans good!! I have to mix it with a touch of polysorbate 80 to mix the oil and water. I've got a huge Rosemary tree. The thing is 6 foot tall!!! I had to get creative with how I store some of it for winter. I used olive oil and infused it with the rosemary and used it to cook with. Great flavor! Why not, right? I do an herb garden every year so, I'm trying to learn ways to keep them besides my dehydrator. I've been making my own candles....I love for my house to smell nice and candles have gotten so expensive I couldn't afford them!! I can make 8 candles for the price of one and it only takes me 35 minutes! I make all my family save their candle jars so I can wash them out and reuse. Happy New Year!!!!

Just an FYI, I have a soap business and make soap all the time. You should always weigh your oils no matter what. I have tested many times and the weight mentioned on the container the oil comes in is never accurate. It is always 1-3 oz less. If you do not measure you may get lye heavy soap.

I got a bit lost in fluid oz ( as there are few types). This what I guess is the conversion to metric system Olive oil coconut oil soap recipe: • 29 FL OZ = 0.857 L Coconut Oil • 51 FL OZ =1.5 L Olive Oil • 11.8 oz = 330g Lye 29.5 oz = 826g Distilled Water

This reminds my of a real problem. When Canada changed form imperial to metric systems (around 40 years ago), a plane crashed, as the guys who provided fuel mistook kilograms for pounds, and instead of getting x kg fuel, they got x pounds fuel, which is less than half of the needed amount. It is even worse for fluid OZ, as there are 3 types of fl OZ....

This what I did. Weight measurements are easy to convert. But as I said multiple times, there are 3 TYPES of fluid oz (volumetric). Google has no idea what fl oz I need to convert. I need to chose, and I have no idea which one to chose.

I would HIGHLY suggest still measuring the oils & not just trusting the company. I measured out Trader Joes coconut oil and it was two full ounces LESS then what they marketed on the bottle. I opened another of their jars - same thing. That could have thrown off the Lye calculation & messed up my entire batch of soap.

I just tried this soap today (newbie @ soap making). I used coconut fragrance instead of Rosemary. It came to trace faster than I thought it would and started firming up before I could get it in my molds. I tried to layer with blue and the plain color. Try letting you know how it turns out later.

You can use the bottle of lye in your hand for mixing the lye and water. Afterwards, screw on the top and use oven mitts to shake it. No fumes but make sure to loosen top afterwards because of pressure. No floaties and fumes but shake periodically so lye won't harden on bottom.

This is such a perfect recipe for a nice, simple, wonderful soap! Thank you for sharing your recipe and the step by step process! If someone wanted to add salts, clay, or other ingredients to this recipe, could they just add things or is there a formula to follow to help ensure things don't get messed up? Also, if the soap mixture touches the skin while adding it to the mould (after it's been mixed), is that dangerous?

This recipe came out great with olive oil. The smell of my soap is amazing. I almost had to throw away the batch I did today which was the Easiest recipe the Lard. My mistake was doing the lye first because I had it outside and it cooled off sooner than the lard. All my plans were ruined but I was able to save it being able to mix the two at 180 degrees I didn’t have time to color the soap and use my peppermint. I quickly threw in some oats and a tablespoon of honey, actually I really didn’t have time to measure that part, lol. I will never do the lye first I will just be patient and wait.
