This video serves as proof that synthetic chemicals are not needed to make soap. African Black soap is made with a natural/organic base and natural oils. THAT'S ALL, no synthetic fragrances, thickeners, dyes etc.

Lye is required to make soap. The reason your mixture becomes soap, is because by mixing the potash with water, then simmering/smoking it down like that, you are literally creating lye. Specifically, yours is a form of lye called Potassium Hydroxide. Technically, you could just skip all the boiling, scraping and toxic smoky fumes and just buy some potassium hydroxide. There are 2 kinds of lye-- potassium hydroxide (mostly used to make liquid soaps, like the kind in a hand pump, which is why your soap comes out soft and sticky), and sodium hydroxide, which makes the hard, smooth bars of soap. Both are natural, and made from ashes and salt. Before you go making lye, or using it-- know that it can be pretty dangerous while it is hot and fuming. It can burn your skin, lungs and eyes. While working with lye, wear rubber gloves, a mask, glasses/goggles and work either outside, or an open, very well ventilated area. Notice when you see videos of African people making this soap, they do it outside-- for good reason. Now... Soap making is an exact science. There is no room for miscalculation. Lye has a very specific amount of water and oil it must be emulsified very thuroughly with, in order to properly undergo the soaponification process. If you dont get your measurements right, and if you dont emulsify the water,, oils and lye properly-- you could make a soap that is too lye heavy, and unsafe to use. When a soap is too lye heavy, it will burn or irritate your skin. By the way, that is something that concerns me when I watch these videos about people who use African black soap-- many say that it irritates the skin... Again, that is a strong sign that a soap is too lye heavy! Wherever they bought it from, perhaps it was made by someone who was not well versed in lye/water/oil ratios. This problem can actually be remedied by using the proper amounts of water and oils/butters. Its not that other African soaps are "fake" per se... ALL soaps are a combination of lye, water and oils/butters. But perhaps other soap makers used a different lye to make the bar harder. You can still add all the same other ingredients though. Making soap is fun and it is an art form. But safety first!

Another way that some make black soap in West Africa is to use ashes of palm leaves, cocoa pods, etc instead of the mineral. These ashes contain the same compounds as potash and are actually called potash. The term potash refers to multiple different things that all contain potassium salts which give it the soap-making property.

Kee Kee As a soapmaker myself, I am skeptical as to whether you can make any type of soap without the use of KOH or NaOH. Do you use ashes? If so, technically you're using a very unrefined and unpredictable form of NaOH. When soap is made properly, there is no NaOH left in the product at all, since the Oils and the caustic agent form a chemical reaction that results in soap. It ceases to be oil and caustic agent and is converted into a new compound aka soap.

@BigHenFor
@BigHenFor 7 жыл бұрын
HereDianna2 You can test the alkalinity or acidity of an ingredient by using pH test paper which changes colour according to its alkalinity or acidity. It comes with a chart that will allow you to judge. ”Anything between 0 and 6.9 is acidic, 7 is neutral, and anything between 7.1 and 14 is alkaline. Human hair and scalp oil sebum, has a pH balance of between 4.5 and 5.5. This natural hair acidity prevents fungi and bacteria in the hair and scalp, and keeps the cuticle closed and healthy." Human skin has a pH of 5.5. (This why many people use Apple Cider Vinegar as a final conditioning and clarifying hair rinse.) As for the pH value of aloes, it is likely to be around the neutral to alkaline, as the Aloe Vera plant is 99% water. But if you get the pH strips, you'll be able to tweak your soap and shampoo recipes for your specific needs.

I have been using it for years as well as many naturals for that reason thanks to "kimmaytube" who made a video about it and PH levels years ago. I find apple cider vinegar drying for my hair so I always use aloe... My question was VERY specific I know but I always wondered that and think that she might have an answer... A soap has to be alkaline/basic to be a soap. So how do the properties of the black soap get alteredi if as many naturals we change the PH to match our hair PH as many naturals do. I have never done it myself but we can't even call it a soap at this point...

@@patb2582 Hello, for any soap used on hair as a shampoo, you will need an acidic remedy similar to the pH of our hair to restore it to normal. ACV has a pH of 2-3, while our hair has a pH of 4.5-5.5. Though the numbers look close, pH operates on a logarithmic scale, which means the power increases 10 times for every 1 number change in pH. Basically, ACV undiluted (assuming hair was pH 5) has a strength of 1000, which will destroy hair cuticles if undiluted. If you wish to use ACV as the acidic remedy, you MUST dilute it HEAVILY with water. 1 cup ACV to 3 cups water will NOT do (as I've seen many youtubers promote; this is highly dangerous if used frequently). A safer dilution would be 1 teaspoon ACV to 1 cup water, increase the ratio to your liking. This dilution yields a pH of 4, which is much safer to your hair strands. Aloe vera, another popular acidic remedy, can be used undiluted, as it has a pH of 5, which is within the range of your hair's pH. I hope I've answered your question :).

After the base is made, does it need to be made into the shampoo on the same day?

After its made, the pH has to be lowered. You can do this with Citric Acid, ACV and/or Aloe Vera. You may also want to add some oils.

Thank you for your wonderful video - very informative. As the potash used is food grade, why should one not use the pot for food? Thank you again. This is the best recipe I have seen.

wonderful video!!!!! Fake ABS: hard, smoothly packaged, homogeneous/consistent, perfumed, dyed, and uniform from batch to batch. Real ABS: varies in color, is easily crumbled or manipulated and dissolved, smells organic, variable from batch to batch, not homogenous. Thanks and looking forward to finally winning something for the first time in my life!😅

👋 I have a question????? My question is this I’ve been really pondering over this and I’ve been really trying to figure out how I could do this my idea is to mix Jamaican castor oil and the African black soap together to get benefits of hair growth and other properties that’s really good for the hair since, I am not a scientist it seems like you know more than I would those combinations with a fuse with different herbs in the oils be a good shampoo?
