I Tested 9 Soap Oils Individually BUT Which Was Best?

Learn more about soap making oils & butters by joining me as I make and test a series of soaps using just one oil each time. This video may be of interest to anyone who wants to know how to make soap from scratch or learn more about making homemade soap as well as soap making for beginners, looking for more information on soap making ingredients for cold process soap making purposes.
This is a compilation of all the single oil soaps I tested plus the updates, all in one video. In this video I make and/or test Sunflower Oil soap, Hempseed Oil soap, Rice Bran Oil soap, Grapeseed Oil soap, Rapeseed Oil soap/Canola Oil soap, Shea Butter Soap, Cocoa Butter Soap, Corn Oil Soap, Olive Oil Soap, Coconut Oil Soap and Peanut Oil soap.
I will be embarking on further exploration of individual soap making oils in the coming months, so be sure to subscribe to get notified when it happens!

Love this experiment. Very interesting to see the rice bran oil, never used it. Shame about the rapeseed oil going rancid, but pleased to see corn oil doing well on the rancidity front. I’m testing subbing some of my olive oil for rapeseed oil (as it’s grown in the uk) but maybe I need to try corn oil 🤔. I’d love to see a 100% tallow and 100% lard soap…maybe I need to do my own experiment 😁. Thank you for your efforts in doing this 😍

There is a video of lard soap but not really part of the experiment. I think lard soap is great and it was one of the first soaps I ever made when I was practising (because I didn't want to waste money on expensive ingredients), but it did have a slight whiff of bacon about it!

What was the powder/grains you added in prior to the lye solution and what was the lye solution ratio please? Can you also make this using the hot process??

[@sugarwelluk]

The only thing I was adding was mica, so I could tell the soaps apart. Other than that, all experiments were made using just one single oil and lye. I made the original videos 2 years ago (this is a compilation) and no longer have the files. I believe the quantities I used for each experiment are outlined in the intro. And, yes, you can make this hot process as you can with just about any cp formula.
