I LOVE making tallow soap but I’ve never thought of mixing fir and lavender together for a scent. I’ll definitely have to try that out next time. 😄 Only thing...I’d be careful when pouring the lye water into the oils. You should pour it over the stick blender but only turn it in on when the lye water is fully into the oil solution. It’s super dangerous with it splattering it everywhere.

[@elisabethensor8460]

I am so inspired by your homemade soap! I want to try it now

[@annamiller3479]

Making cold process soap is so satisfying! Watch the Soap Queen TV series about the basics before you try it. 🙂

[@e-rizzle]

My fear with hydrating soaps with creams and coconut oil is that it might clog the drains and pipes. I used to oil pull and read and heard that we shouldn't spit it down the drain when done, but in the trash because it'll solidify and clog the drains/pipes. What do you think?

[@ChattingWithAngela]

That’s true. Would of never thought if that

[@ouroilyhouse]

I haven't had any issues so far!

[@ThunderFaith]

Once processed, most of your oils are no longer fat, the lye has transformed them into the solvent, aka, soap. There will be a small amount, typically 3-5% that remains fat. While that may eventually build up in your pipes, it is much less of a concern than those who make those high superfat soaps like the pure coconut bars that they will superfat as much as 20-30%. They have to do this because coconut oil is highly cleansing and will literally remove everything from your skin. Those soaps will absolutely lead to problems in your pipes sooner or later. Even worse, if you have a septic tank and leech field. A balanced soap recipe is a must for your skin and your drain/septic system. However, you do need a small amount of superfat in your soap to avoid a potential lye heavy soap that could be too harsh, possibly even burn you. Also, this is soap making, not oil extraction. It's is "cold process", not cold pressed. :)

[@e-rizzle]

@@ThunderFaith Thank you! This was so informative!

[@hollymcdonnell339]

It does clog drains. I had to have my septic drained way earlier than normal. The man pumping it told me there was a lot of oil and it clogged up the lines. Told me to scrape what I could into the trash so that I don’t clog the lines up. Expensive lesson to learn

[@Cee1505]

Yes! I do have a dish soap bar you can try too!

[@puritychiz9190]

Beautiful work . How good is adding coconut oil in this particular soap for extremely dry skin vs using 100% tallow. Would tallow alone give good results for someone with extremely dry skin

[@jaytee3baxter]

"Cold-pressing" has to do with oil extraction not soap making. Extra-virgin olive oil is cold-pressed, for instance. "Cold Process" is the term you're looking for.

[@phatwombat4241]

exactly, if going to teach others she should be using the correct terminology

[@Ttalos]

It would be interesting to use venison tallow.

[@MrHerks]

Is there any specific reason you like tallow over lard? any benefit or both about the same?

[@KJ7JHN]

Lard leaves me sticky and the bars become slimy. It works, but tallow works much better. If you use lard, i recommend lime essential oil as the bars have a wonky smell. This is not so with tallow.

[@ThunderFaith]

As someone who has been canning and making soap for many years, I need to make a few suggestions. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I cringed the whole video. The biggest mistakes were, first using glass. Yes it is heat resistant... Until it isn't...Until that unseen fracture that leaves a dangerous lye solution all over you and your kitchen. You've never had one break in the canner? Use stainless steel, or an acceptable plastic. Secondly, honey, you were splashing that lye all over the place when pouring it into your oils! Please be more careful! Lastly, while this may seem a bit nitpicky, the terms "cold pressed" and "cold process" are not interchangeable. There is no such thing as cold pressed soap. You are making soap, not extracting oils here.

[@MinecraftLover-dz8nk]

i’m confused how plastic would be better than glass, i hope it doesn’t come off as rude, can you explain that?

[@ThunderFaith]

@@MinecraftLover-dz8nk , the alkali will etch the glass and weaken it, leading to eventually breakage and possibly serious consequences. It doesn't matter that the canning jars were designed to withstand the heat, they will not withstand the etching from the alkali for very long. A good sturdy plastic (HDPE #2 or PP #5) is your safest bet for lye use.

[@MrKalimba]

I am totally agree with your opinion. Every single word is well spoken. I've used heat resistant glass, one day it just break while I stir. I said 'break' but it was almost 'explosion' in my case I should say. Shattered pieces were every where, even in my oil base. So I have to throw them all before even I start it. Since then, I using stainless steel, works totally fine. Also for splashing lye water, just stop blend for a sec and pour it. Why just keep splashing all the lye waters everywhere? Not only safety issue, but also the calculated formula would be little bit off to match. Even it is not significant changes though, but she lost certain amount of lye waters by splashing it.

[@jaytee3baxter]

@@MinecraftLover-dz8nk Polypropylene is a very heat-resistant plastic that is used for containers that are safe for soap making.

[@emilyphillips1973]

You’re being too critical I don’t see you posting videos making your soap on KZbin

[@bidergilette9952]

Can I substitute the same amt of lard for tallow?

[@haleyhamer7128]

An online lye calculator will tell you if it works out safely

[@sevenjacobs]

Could I switch out the tallow with lard? I’m raising pigs and I’m definitely going to render the fat to lard!

[@ouroilyhouse]

YEs!

[@debaterforhim]

Would I be able to change the water to a filtered rice water that was steeped with grapefruit peel, tea and rosemary? Or does the water have to be just water?

[@ouroilyhouse]

I think that would work but I have never tried it.

[@ivankoshelev5808]

Do you retain the aroma of essential oils in soap made with beef fat? I made soap and after I cut it into bars, the aroma lasted for 2 days. But then the aroma disappeared... is this a feature of beef fat? I tried the same essential oils in a recipe without beef fat and everything is fine, the aroma is persistent.

Hi I’m Odete from South Africa I have lupu and fibromyalgia I have tried many creams but the don’t work 🙈have you got a very good cream please 🙏✝️🛐💐💐💐🙏❤️❤️🇿🇦

[@ouroilyhouse]

I have an eczema cream on my blog, I would try that!

[@FatemaSaifudin]

why we need to wait for a month before using it?

[@WIProgress1]

Because Sodium hydroxide in a soap is a dangerous chemical for a skin so it needs time to cure, meaning to loose it's strength slowly.

[@aliviastanley595]

How many bars does this make?

Looking for some hand cream and face cream recipes:)

[@juliepallone9976]

I made this 2 days ago and it turned out perfectly. I posted the recipe on a soap making FB page and got a lot of negative comments on adding a tablespoon of fragrance oils rather than calculating the exact measurement. I can’t see where an ounce over or under would make that much difference.

[@ouroilyhouse]

If it turned out perfectly I wouldn't worry, :)

[@kellymoody8726]

I have always wanted to make my own soap but can’t get past my feel of the lye.

[@annamiller3479]

I was really intimidated, too, but it’s very doable! In this video, there’s a safety issue when she’s mixing the lye water into the oils, so I’d recommend watching the Soap Queen TV series on the basics of cold process soap making. 🙂

[@kellymoody8726]

@@annamiller3479 thank you!

[@libertymicrofarm6032]

I strongly suggest you not use glass to mix your lye. Yes mason jars are heat resistant but as I’m sure you’ve noticed the lye is etching the glass. This weakens it. It can end up shattering the jar. The last thing you want is lye splashing all over. Most of the professional soap makers I watch suggest stainless steel or plastic containers when mixing the lye.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Ok thanks for the tip!

[@tintinjacks4371]

wish i'd seen this yesterday, lye didnt heat up

[@buttonvalley]

People have been making soap for centuries, and using the cold process to make it for over a century. Digital scales have been a common household item for maybe 20 years. It's a nagging pet peeve of mine when so much emphasis is made in videos like this about how "critical" precise measurement is. My wife and I have been making soap for demonstrations and sale for almost 30 years, and our formula is measured by volume, using ordinary kitchen measuring cups. We have *never* had a batch turn out bad. Is care needed when measuring your ingredients? YES. Is measuring to a tenth of a gram critical to the successful making of soap? No. You know what else our soapmaking ancestors managed to do without and still be successful? Stick blenders! A wooden spoon works just fine to stir your mixture until it traces. It takes a little more time, but you also have no chance of mixing too much air into the soap.

[@KJ7JHN]

Are you still using this recipe? Does your hair get oil after a day or so? Or does it leave your body sticky?

[@KJ7JHN]

20/80 is almost there, but im still looking.

[@KJ7JHN]

Please use a stainless steel pot or a heat resistant plastic for mixing the lye into the water! Also, you should be wearing a respirator with a gas filter while mixing the lye into the water and (ideally under a vented hood).

We started cooking with tallow and I about died with the smell like literally I had to leave the area until I could not smell it. So give it to me straight can you smell it like the way it smells when it cooks 😰

[@samanthameyer8541]

if it's similar to lard (im not sure that it is, i dont know much about tallow specifically) then there may be an area of the cow's body that stores fat that doesn't smell. lard made from pig fat from a specific area of their bodies doesn't smell so this might be similar!

[@AngiePeladeau]

If your tallow has a smell it has not been rendered properly. To finish, Tallow needs to be brought up to it's smoke point twice prior to being finished in order to bring it to a neutral "scent"

[@rode-o5206]

FYI If the fat comes from a pig, it is called LARD. If the fat comes from a cow, it is called TALLOW.

[@jaytee3baxter]

Yes tallow is very good for the skin. Also the percentage of superfat makes a big difference in whatever oils you use. At least 5-6% is typical.
