I guess you don't realize titanium dioxide is not only a carcinogen but if you research it you'll find it also says it changes your DNA. This ingredient is in all sorts of food and soap shampoo all kinds of things and it should be illegal it is illegal in many nations. People don't seem to care what things are on their ingredient list but after I looked up what it is, & began reading the ingredient labels on everything, I found this cancer causing, DNA altering substance in 90% of everything from soaps to ice cream. Enjoy!😢

I wanted to tell you that a) I love your calm voice B) I made soap for years and stopped for a few years too...when I went back to making it - 3 batches ina row failed. I was so depressed and unhappy. I listened to your video and I was inspired and felt encouraged. Thanks to YOU! I am off to making batches every week. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Your now my hero

I made this recipe, and it is my go to, I shared a bar with a family member and she loves it. I use our honey and wax from our hives. I shared a bar with my mom and her skin is not as dry as it use to be. Thank you so much for sharing. I doubled it so it last me longer. Amazing recipe for dry skin. I used bentonite clay and I didn't add the titanium dioxide. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I am a Newby at soap making and have only done cold process. This is so much easier. To be able to cut the fragrance in half is a huge blessing. I used the same recipe I used in cold process and this came out so much better. Can’t wait to unmold and cut!

i have read alot of articles for CP and now HP, but, during that time i have come back to your channel many many times to listen to your instructions for both soap making methods. took me 3wks to build the courage up to do CP and i have just completed my first HP with a dash of white colourant and johnsons baby powder fragrance. i seem to prefer this HP method because i am impatient - i was shocked how quickly it set up though. i'm stoked that i gave it a go, i like the idea of knowing what ingredients are going into the product that i make... now, more reading to find out more about the different properties of the ingredients i want to use. thank you for the informative content and keeping it simple look forward to new vids

i just made this soap two nights ago and i i used the scraps from the slow cooker to take my bath that night, i loved the feel on my skin, especially the oats feel for exfoliation. Also, i tried something i learnt from kim at essential soap, i calculated it at 0% SF but added 6% cocoa butter of the total amount of oils as superfat after the cook, also split the batter and scented half with lavendar and tea tree EO, left the other part unscented. i love how you make soaping so simple, your videos thought me how to calculate recipes using soapcalc.net, also learnt how to line molds from you too. thanks Elly, God bless.

A good tip to keep it smooth and creamy consistency before you pour in the mold is to add some plain Greek yogurt that works wonders and it's good for your skin

Yes, thanks. I've since learned about that tip! I don't use animal products in my soap, but plant based yoghurts work just as well :)

What amount of yogurt we can add approximately to this soap batch, please.

Lovely video! Try adding 1/4 cup of yogurt to the soap at the vaseline stage. Stir, cover again and let sit 5 minutes. You'll have a much more fluid mixture at that point for molding....

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you Patti! I have a lot more to learn about hot-process soap making I think! I don't eat dairy foods - do you think non-dairy yoghurt would have the same effect? And why yoghurt in particular as opposed to other liquids?

[@farmermom]

@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking it's the lactic acid. I think sodium lactate will also work. Not sure about other non dairy yogurts...

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Ok I see, well all yoghurt undergoes lactic acid bacterial fermentation - so in theory they should work! I make my own yoghurt and other fermented goodies. Plenty of lactic acid in my fridge! Though I'm not sure sauerkraut would be so great stirred through my soap ;) I had sodium lactate years ago but have never used it. I think it's gone now..

Hi Elliy what different between calld and hot soup?

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Cold process soap is made with the ingredients just warm or at room temperature and the soap is emulsified and saponifies very slowly. Hot process, the soap is mixed then cooked to force the saponification reaction - so it becomes soap a lot sooner.

[@elizabethfrancis6327]

Brand new to beekeeping and looking for ways to use my beeswax and this is one way I can definitely use it but I think your wax was super dark cause they didn't clean the wax very much(wax always comes out dirty and you have to clean it several times to get the golden color)

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Yes, that sounds about right. It smelt wonderful. Thanks for your information :)

[@mamasimmerplays4702]

It doesn't really take repeat cleaning - a couple of washes is good, as is filtering later on, but the most important part is to set your wax in a narrow container so you get a tall column when it's set - most of the grot will be at the bottom of the column, and you can simply slice it off and put that bit aside to reprocess later.

In order to add goat's milk to a soap do I need to use the hot making process or the cold one should also work ? Thank you

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hi Alexandra, thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I have zero experience in making goats milk soap, but from what I know you can do either hot or cold process methods. I do know that any milk in soaps is usually used as a replacement for the water in the lye solution, and that you have to keep the milk and the lye solution very cool/cold while you mix them to prevent the milk going brown. You may want to do more research on the internet, there would be a lot of blog posts about it I'm sure! Best of luck, the tumeric and honey sounds like a nice combination! :)

Thanks so much for sharing!! Brand new to soap making, and just made this recipe today; cant wait to unmold it tomorrow! Thanks again for all the helpful tips. Cheers!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

You're welcome, that's great Lindsay!

[@lindsaygould5729]

@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking It turned out perfect and has a great lather!!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Yay! I love that recipe :)

[@mariebruley597]

I was wondering, the lye solution seems to be “dangerous” since you’re wearing protection and everything. So is it safe after the soap making process ?

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

It sure is! This video explains why :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpOuoX-Ng9Z0fdU

[@ritainhoff8955]

Hi, there is no soap without lye :). If you protect yourself and use the right methods it is safe, and the end result will be a skin friendly nice bar. :)

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks Rita!

[@mariebruley597]

Thank you for your answers !

[@kaywiththevibes]

I truly enjoyed your view! Thank you for taking out the time to show us this. I find the more videos I watch the more confident I am to move away from the melt & pour stage.❤️

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you Kay, that's great to hear. Best of luck - it's good that you take your time and enjoy the process :)

Hi. I've been binging your soap videos for days now. Thank you so much for your generosity! Can you make hot process soap making using double boiler? Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hello Rizki, thank you! Greetings from Australia! Yes, you can absolutely make HP soap with a double boiler :)

[@deenel8700]

Thank you so much. I have learn so much by watching you.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you.

I wonder if I can add oats to cold process soap without them falling to the bottom. I don't have a crock pot but maybe one day I'll try hot process! Have you ever made liquid soaps? I enjoyed this video (and so did my partner who stopped his Xbox game to watch along as well :D)

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Yes you can add oats to CP soap, just take it to a good medium trace and the oats won't sink. Yes, I have made liquid soaps but haven't done any videos on them yet. Maybe one day!

[@Sol12lua]

Este vai realizar meu sonho🥰 Deve ser uma delícia!! Thank you😘

[@ecomae1629]

Molds might grow on the oats placed on top. It happened to my first batch of oatmeal coldprocessed soap.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

I haven't had a problem with it, but I guess that could happen. Storing your soap in a dry, cool spot is important.

[@seamrog3593]

great video! Does your soap ever spoil? are broad spectrum preservatives needed? Thanks Bramble Berry should talk with you!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you! Yes, handmade soap will spoil eventually if not stored in a dry, cool environment. My soaps rarely spoil. It depends on the oils used too, some are more proned to spoilage. I've still got some of this soap left and it's still perfect as the day I made it! I've never used preservatives in my soap, no other soap makers I am aware of do either :)

[@seamrog3593]

Thank you!

[@patriciagrant3228]

The soap looks lovely and I enjoyed watching the video as I have never seen Hot Cold Process Soap done before. It is something I would try, its new for me and something to experience.

[@moumitaghosh5896]

Thankyou 😘 looking forward more soap base like transparent

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hi, I don't make melt and pour soap base, but there are others who do! :)

[@JournalArtPaperie]
