The accuracy to hit every single soap bar with a label using a mallet is just insane.

The Alabama Guy ignorance. This comment chain was much better without your nonsense.

[@BarefootDani]

Just a correction as a soapmaker: they are using sodium hydroxide, aka lye as the base, not baking soda. it is scientifically impossible to make soap using baking soda since it's not alkaline enough. the error comes from the translation- he simply said they use "soda" in Arabic that in this case means (caustic) soda. and yes, all real soaps are made from lye- sodium hydroxide for soap bars and potassium hydroxide for liquid soaps. it may sound dangerous but they are completely neutralized during the saponification process.

I'm fortunate that this soap is sold in a few local stores. It has a very mild, creamy, lightly earthy scent. It leaves your skin soft and very refreshed.

I use it daily for everything, shampoo, face, body, hands etc. Only using it on my hair, I cut the soap bar into 4 pieces. In 3 times only one small piece is almost already used up.

2:49 i teared up when he said making the soap is keeping our grandparents’ legacy alive. one time when i was crying in front of my dad about the people & the home that was taken from us in palestine, my dad said “they will never take away our traditions, our our culture. we can live forever through our culture.” ❤️🤍🖤💚

[@upondivineguidanceorder2548]

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoever draws close to me the by length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him running. Whoever meets me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any created things (from imagination or man made ) divinity with me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness.”

Just so you know Israel is not taking away the Palestinain Culture. If they did then they wouldn't be allowed to make soap. But Israel is a democratic country, so they did not do that

[@carolineleiden]

You can make it. Every 100 grams of olive oil requires 12,5 to 13 grams of lye dissolved in 50 grams of water. Depending on the oil you use. Start with the 12,5. Like it? You're done. Too greasy and sticky? Next time use 13. Start with a small batch of 200 of 300 grams of oil. Use the cheapest oil you can find. It contains the most insaponicable elements and that is good for the skin. No need to use extra vergine. That is for salads! Let it cook (simmer) in a bain marie, or in a slowcooker, for about two hours on low heat. Use a mixer to speed up the process. If it becomes too thick, add a little water. Poor it in a silicon cakemold, and in a few days you will have this exact soap. Take it out, slice it, allow that to dry. Weigh it to see when it stops evaporating water. Then you can use it. It is safe to use after two hours of cooking and a day in the mold, but it will wear more quickly if it is still too wet. Good luck!

Reduce the quantum of olive oil to half...or replace olive oil with some other oil affordable to pocket...add some colour as well as perfume it... purely market demand!!

[@amiracle1269]

[@be.A.b]

@@PC-so4lg You can’t really reduce the oil, because it would just result in less soap. Replacing some of the olive oil would result in an inferior product. Every oil produces different qualities in a soap. For example: coconut oil creates great lather, but also adds drying properties, which is why it’s never used exclusively in a soap recipe. Olive oil has one of the most moisturizing qualities out their. Try to find comprable oils, and you will start branching out into rare and expensive cosmetic oils. Their’s still lots of demand for pure olive oil soap, because it’s simply the best. The problems come when delicate markets get flooded with inferior trade products. The people will end up paying for it anyways, with diluted economic buying power.
