I really love how you acknowledged that not everyone can access EO’s or good quality FO’s. Thank you for this it will be very helpful for me to create the scents I’d like in my soap.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

You're very welcome, thanks for your feedback :)

[@rukiakuchuki]

This was the exact calculation I was searching for, even though I’m using it for candles. Every guide on using essential oils usually just tells you how many drops to use in a recipe but that’s useless if you’re wanting to be accurate and/or create your blends in bulk for multiple candles/soaps etc. So thank god I found this, it was so easy to follow! Brb, just going to calculate my special earl grey tea fragrance blend 🤩☕️

[@kjlodico9135]

Elly, I am new to your channel and since your videos are years old, I’m not sure if you still make soap. I just want to say you are a fantastic and generous teacher. Not only are you clear and concise, you provide novices with your proven recipes. So many other soap making channels (especially the more professional soap makers) do not share their recipes. Of course I understand why, and therefore am impressed by your generosity in sharing. Much appreciated.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks so much! Yes, I'm still making soap! Still sharing to this youtube channel as well, plus my website and member community. It's my full time job now :) www.ellyseveryday.com/

[@kjlodico9135]

Wow! I did not expect a response, so thank you very much. If I may ask a question … can I substitute fresh aloe vera juice for distilled water for the lye solution every time? Is there a reason why I might not want to do that? I have an abundance of the plant.

You’re the best Elly! I’m going to give it a go this weekend. I do like the plain soap recipes but I think the EO frangrance will be nice.

Thanks Barbara, I love plain soaps too, but yes, essential oils are lovely.

[@naynovaa8585]

thank thankuuu! you are one my top channels to understanding calculations and percentages. ESPECIALLY using grams [ the maths is way easier ] you have helped me so so so much. one of the eo i wanted to use wasn't on a calculator and i learned the test drop trick from another soaper. i have been researching endlessly on making sure i calculate them correctly due to their potency. now i just need to figure out how to input in soap calc or maybe just make notes because it doesn't necessarily let you know specify blends/usage rates. aywhoooo i can go rest my brain for the rest of the night.

[@connieng4792]

Hi Elly, have you ever been a school teacher? So far, I find your soap making video THE BEST and how you lay out the calculations and writing them out with the formula like I do when I try to break it down for myself or others. You have made it so easy for the layman to understand and a joy to learn. Thank you so much and please keep the videos coming!!!:)

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you so much Connie! I did study one year of education at university, but then switched to another degree. My current profession has some cross-over with teaching for sure. It's also hereditary. My father is a tradesman but natural teacher and I take after him quite a lot in that respect. Thanks for your lovely feedback :)

Oh my goodness! How could anyone dislike this video?! This is the absolutely BEST video that I have seen that explains how to make a good EO Formula, and how to calculate it into a recipe! I have been trying to figure things out on EO Calc, and determining the percentage of each Blend was proving extremely confusing. You literally broke everything down, and answered everything that I was so confused about! You explained it perfectly! Thank you so very much!

[@mcree.cosmetics3425]

Wow thank you for breaking it down for some who basically suck at math you helped a lot thank you again…

[@FritsvanDoorn]

There is an easier way. Calculate the weight representation of one drop. Then you simply multiply this for each number of drops. So, your example takes 3% of 800 gr of oil, that is 24 gr. The total of drops is 8, gives 24 ÷ 8 is 3 gr per drop. Now, the weights per oil will be 3 x 3 is 9 gr for the first and thirs oil and 1 x 3 is 3 gr for the second and fourth oil. That is less percentage calculations. But your method works too. Well explained. Thank you.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks Frits, I guess there are a few methods. This is just the way my non-maths brain worked it out :)

[@MarinaHolistica]

Hi, working amounts out quantities per drop is ok if blending for small amounts of oil eg 20mls for an aromatherapy massage. Using drops as a measurement is not very accurate for large quantities because oil dont have the same viscosity, so some drops may be bigger for some oils than others, air bubbles can affect the amount coming through too. It's better to calculate by volume.

[@Ellen_P]

Hi thank you. You are an amazing teacher. I've learned myself to do it this way: Let's say 8 parts of an EO Oil Blend and 30 grams of EO needed in total. So 8 : 30=1,66. So 1 part is 1,66 gram. Than you multiply each part according to the EO Blend parts and top it up or down if your scale is not specific enough. Happy New Year from The Nerherlands😉

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Wonderful, that sounds like a good method :)

[@daphneydonegan5680]

Hi Elly. I’m not sure if this question has been asked already but I was wondering if you could combine essential oils with fragrance oils. I keep learning so much from you so I always told you to ask questions. Keep up the good work.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hi Daphney, I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. Could you re-word your question? :)

[@daphneydonegan5680]

Elly's Everyday Yes I’m sorry about that I was speaking into the phone I was holding the baby. I was wondering if you can combine essential oils like lavender or rosemary and fragrance oils together to make a scent.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Ah I see :) Yes, you can definitely blend them together!

[@HuyenNguyen-gb2mh]

Hi! For the essential oil calculation, do we add it to our 800 (our oil base for example) so our oil base 800g + 24g = 824g? Or do we use 776g of oil base + 24g of essential oil =800g?

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

No, the EO is an additional ingredient. It doesn't figure into your main soap recipe calculation. Just calculate your recipe based on 800g of oil, and add your 24g EO as an addition :)

[@ogooe1288]

Hello Elly, thank you so much for this educative lecture. Please what is the default fragrance percentage for making bar soaps..

Hi thank you so much! I do have a problem. I added 10g more EOs than I should have. Now my soap is very soft after one day. Will it harden or should I rebatch and add lye solution?

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Just leave it, it will harden no problem.

[@AnandBhatB]

Initially u tried it with number of drops (volume) and later used grams for calculation. Will there be any errors in this??

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hi, no, because I used the numbers of drops simply to work out the rough percentages/ratios of the oils. This is easily extrapolated into percentages to work out larger amounts which are most accurately measured in grams.

[@cliviapetersen404]

[@stellai6608]

Hi Elly, I have a hard time when it comes to pick the essential oil to combine . I don’t know what percentage is safe to use from the 3 oil bases that you describe . Like if I want Peppermint / Eucalyptus , what percentage from each ? Any suggestions please ? Thank you !

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hi, you can google 'essential oils for soap making' to get an idea of usage rates, but I would keep peppermint very low! Say, under 5%, maybe even less! It makes sensitive skin tingle if you use too much. Just do some more searching and researching, it's important for this kind of thing. Good luck!

If you use a reasonably low water recipe, like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6uni6epbs2dgdk, six weeks is fine. All soaps get better as they cure, but six weeks is the minimum cure time.
