HOW TO TURN BAR SOAP INTO LIQUID SOAP! EASY

I want to try and make my lifestyle as eco-friendly as possible, and I figured buying bar soap that can be wrapped in paper and then turning it into liquid soap for my bottles is a much better way of doing things because I absolutely despise bar soap! Great video :)

[@lylapalooza5500]

@Tiffany Moore I want to be eco-friendly too… but this is a huge haste!!!

[@unclearnuclear]

You might like to try buying a waterless substance that is easier to dissolve. For example, Blueland sells hand soap tablets that dissolve into a bottle of water and can be used as foaming soap. However, I'm sure if you found the right powder-based ingredients you could make your own. I doubt it is complicated. :-) And it would certainly be easier than the above video! (No shade on the video though. I have some bars of soap lying around and I'm interested in turning them into liquid soap! Thanks for the vid!)

Soften the soap by soaking it in a very small shallow pool of water for several hours. Break off some of the pieces and put it in your dispenser. Shake with water for a few minutes. If your arm is tired, put the bottle down and shake again when your feel like it. Shake until a gooey consistency. Don't tip out the sediment, use them for the next shake.

[@d0nj03]

Yeah, I did it like in the video but it's too much work and I wouldn't like to have to do that every time I run out. I'm going to have to come up with something like your method, maybe using hot water to melt everything faster, and maybe using a modified container so whatever solids there are can be kept away from the end of the pipe that feeds the pump so it doesn't get clogged. Some kind of wire mesh to keep the bottom reasonably solids-free, IDK. LE: Orrr I could wrap the soap itself in wire mesh. Hmm, I think I may have just solved it so it's much more convenient. All I need is a soap dispenser with a pump, but one where half of it comes off at the top to allow the insertion of a large piece of solid soap (which I wouldn't be able to put in just through the neck that the pump attaches to). Then all I need is to refill it with hot water anytime the level gets so low it's not touching and dissolving the solid soap anymore.

[@annefranciselizabeth3840]

@@d0nj03 Genius!!!! Can you patent this?

[@d0nj03]

@@annefranciselizabeth3840 Meh. Maybe if my first thought after solving the problem was "how can I profit from this?". :) Meanwhile I found a container with a pump that opens up at the wide section, and just stuck a big piece of soap in (like half a bar if it's one of the medium/small bars). I add more hot water every time I see the consistency getting thicker and that's it. No mesh of any kind needed, the inside pipe doesn't get clogged. In fact it's the outside nozzle that starts to form a solid soap plug if I let the consistency get too thick by not adding water often enough. :) But that's easy to scrape off with a fingernail since it forms at the very end of the nozzle, so it's fine. Turns out it was all easier to do than I thought (and there's nothing to patent). It's just going to be highly dependent on the type of soap you're using and how often you add water as the solid piece inside keeps melting away and getting used.

[@SmadgeintheCorner]

Great video! However, if a preservative is necessary I think you should include that in the ingredients at the beginning of the video because it's not just bar soap, glycerine, and water. Also, that way someone doesn't make it over halfway thru the video then realize they don't have all the necessary ingredients.

[@WholeElise]

Thank you! Yes you're completely right. I was thinking in terms of the process that you only needed 3 ingredients but it was a complete oversight and by the time I realised that I didn't include the preservative, I'd already uploaded the video 😅 Hopefully it's not too misleading but I'm much more careful in my other videos 😊

I have just made, before watching this video, simple soap to soap with adding cucumber juice, glycerine, vitamin E, lemon oil... Also simple soap bar to liquid soap and added glycerine, vitamin E, fresh aloe vera, turmaric and added a little vanilla essence, trace of cucumber. I used one soap bar, 3 cups water, a spoon of glycerin, one vitamin E capsule, a few drops of vanilla essence suitable for vegan, a pinch of turmaric powder. It's getting thick. This video gave an idea of blending. I hope both soap bar and liquid will turn good.

[@peterpiper487]

I absolutely LOVE bar soap. I use it for a lot of things, not the least of which is showering. However, I find it inconvenient to tie it in a hosiery stocking to wash dishes with it. So that's when I turn the bar into liquid soap.

[@zontzooit2415]

I like that you added glycerin which is a very hydrating ingredient especially since most bar soaps feel a little drying

[@nikkinik4188]

Try a tbl spoon or 2 of your favorite greek yogurt along with it. Game changer 😊

[@tmjourneyto510]

Will that get rid of the filmy feeling that bar soap leaves? That doesn't always go away when you turn it into liquid soap

[@isithotmama]

If my bar soap has glycerin why is more needed. Also why the preservative? 🤷🏾‍♀️ I'm trying to make liquid hand soap

[@Romanslost]

Solid video, and I'm grateful for the upload. I have a few questions and want to preface them with an apology if they are stupid questions: 1) when you say glycerine, is there a specific type or would a vegetable glycerine at a supermarket work? 2) you mentioned a fragrance being added, is that because the regular fragrance cooks off as you melt the soap or did you use unscented soap? 3) what was the purpose of the preservative? And does the other video you mentioned contain info on where to get said preservative (if it is absolutely necessary)? 4) (this may be the dumbest question but screw it) can this be used as a body wash and just hand soap? Again thanks for the upload and clear instructions. If you take the time to answer my questions, I'd greatly appreciate it!!

[@WholeElise]

No problem! Regular vegetable glycerine will work just fine. You're essentially diluting the soap so it can reduce the fragrance's potency. You may or may not want to add any additional scents, it's entirely optional. The function of a preservative is to kill or inhibit bacterial and fungal growth in a product. You can buy them online. I do explain why that is necessary in water-based products in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5Czo6KBo7CalcU But for more information I would encourage you to do additional research. And yes this would work as a body wash, although I would play around with the texture 😊

[@yopayo7079]

Hi Jaci, would you share your laundry soap recipe?

[@jacirogers9109]

@@yopayo7079 best I can remember: two to four bars of pink Zote soap, a large box of Baking Soda, a box of Arm and Hammer Washing Soda, box of Oxyclean, or similar product, and I think that’s it. I’ll watch some videos on it and let you know if I forgot anything. The recipe is pretty forgiving. The main thing is to have enough soap, baking soda to remove odors, washing soda to soften hard water, and an Oxyclean type product to whiten. I’ll check back if I find a similar one, and give you the link. We have used this for two and a half years, and it works great. For my loads I use 2 tablespoons of the powder, for my husbands three or four. He is a mail carrier, so he gets sweaty in the hot Oklahoma summers. Let me know how this works for you, and thank you !

Hi! I was just wondering about adding a preservative to our bar soaps, but aren't preservatives already added to them?

Do you have any thing to add? :)

[@FloPereda89]

I attempted this however in a about 24 hours after I whipped/transferred soap into my soap dispenser the soap was gloopy again. Any suggestions on how long we should whip it for so the soap doesn’t remain gloopy?

[@WholeElise]

Hi hun! I've played around with the recipe and it seems like the final texture has more to do with the soap you use rather than the method. A lot of soaps have various stabilisers and emulsifiers that give it that "gloopy" quality when melted. More natural soaps with fewer ingredients work best, but I appreciate that might be a little hard to get atm! After trying a few different versions I found that if you add more water / less soap it's a lot less gloopy. Then if you have a foam dispenser bottle rather than a normal hand soap bottle, that helps to give it more body to counteract the "watery-ness". It's definitely not as good as normal liquid soap but it will work in a pinch. Hope that helps! 😊💚

Hi hun, I use Leucidal Liquid SF which is a natural preservative. Unfortunately my normal supplier is no longer shipping atm, but depending on where you live you should be able to find it online. However there are several other preservatives you can use that are easier to get a hold of if you don't mind synthetic ingredients 😊. Essentially you need to use a preservative in any homemade product if it contains water, otherwise it won't last more than a week. This is especially true if you don't keep it in the fridge.
