Make simple, soft soap with organic oils using this easy step-by-step process!

I started making small 15-bar batches of cold-process, organic soap for friends and family many years ago, using a KitchenAid mixer. But a few years ago I dived in a bit deeper and made larger molds, a loaf cutter, and a bar slicer. Now I make big batches of simple, soft soap that we label and ship all across the country. Many folks think it's the best soap they've ever used, and I'd like to show you how easy it is to do it yourself.

You’re so kind! I’m glad this is helpful for you, Celeste. I’m sure your first soap will be awesome!

[@nj08618]

I also love your soap-curing setup. Did you make that, and if so, will you also make a video for that, along with your label creaser?

[@Soul.7]

Wow, brilliant set up you have here, you have thought of everything. What a talent and teacher you are. So succinct too. Thank you so much.

[@MadeinBibs]

Thank you very much!

[@zodinero2622]

Just wanted to take the time and let you know the 4 videos you put out were absolutely phenomenal. I showed the last video to my 10th grade class, my students absolutely loved your process, some were even thinking about taking a crack at it. Please note, you’re knowledge and expertise are going to influence the next up and coming generation of soap makers! Thank you again! My students love it!

[@MadeinBibs]

Thanks so much!

Lucky students!

You are welcome 😊

great job pops u got me motivated more after watching your video

[@MadeinBibs]

Thank you!

[@belindaayewoh437]

Hi. Great video! When pouring EO, try holding a stick next to the bottle. That way, it will not run down the outside of the bottle causing a mess on counter. Also, have you thought about using tallow or lard instead of palm oil?

[@MadeinBibs]

Thanks so much for your suggestions!

[@iwannaapple7190]

If any one is interested, this is his recipe converted to percentage. I don't know anything about milliliters so I didn't figure that one. It is as close as I can get that is logical. All of this fits like a puzzle but sometimes the puzzles don't quite fit for certain recipes that people get out of a book. This is extremely close and will produce the same thing. The end result though is the amount of lye is the exact same. OO = 41.2% CO = 31.4% PO = 27.4% Honey = 2.265% Water/lye ratio = 70.92/29.08 SF = 8% He should produce a 5.77 oz bar according to his info he gave And an extra note, using the bottles he has, he could have premixed 2811 grams of a 50/50 solution inside the bottles by using a funnel and then top it off with the rest of the water to wash down the lye. After that, add 2022 more grams of water to the oils which will give the same water/lye ratio. Those bottles will handle the heat so just put the cap back on and shake the bottle. No fumes and don't have to go outside. He probably already knows this but he is making a video. Just use an oven mitten to shake the bottles and loosen cap temporarily for pressure to escape.

[@MadeinBibs]

Thank you so much for your help!

[@iwannaapple7190]

@@MadeinBibs No problem. I have been making slab cutters myself so I can say with appreciation how really nice your set up is. I kind of went the route of one cutter being able to do it all. It will cut slabs into loaves into single bars but since its an all in one design its not as quick as yours but I think you have a really nice system and it has tight seams.

[@zodinero2622]

This is very great information you’re sharing, thank you for taking your time to make these educational videos. God bless.

[@muneerkv3577]

Hi, I have learned lots of from your videos, I think you have added some ingredients in olive oil?

[@dmartinez1234344567]

So my question is did you build the rack that holds the bakers pans if so can you make a video on how you built it please thank you love it

[@MadeinBibs]

Yes, I did build the racks that hold the baker's trays. Thanks for your interest! I’m not sure if I will ever show how I built them, but maybe!

[@imari2305]

Simple, beautiful bars of soap. Also, I love your soap molds and cutters. All designed beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

[@MadeinBibs]

I appreciate it! Thank you!

[@sanduafaceri2792]

Please, I make biodiesel and I have glycerin. I could use it instead of palm oil

[@emejichristian7922]

I love this soap. What is the weight of each soap?... is it a laundry bar soap or multipurpose?

[@MadeinBibs]

Thank you! Each bar is approximately 4.5 ounces. It is bar soap (for washing your hands and body), not laundry soap.

[@emejichristian7922]

@@MadeinBibs Thank you for the response. 👍

[@Killashandra111]

Could you please provide the percentages for all the ingredients and the super fat so I can resize the recipe to fit my molds. This will be my first time making soap and I want to use Soap Calc to get the right amounts. Thanks!

[@MadeinBibs]

Thanks for your comment! I’m really sorry, I’m not sure how I would do the percentages. But the book I used (Soapmaker's Companion) will probably know how to do that. I wish you the very best…..it really is a simple, good soap recipe!

[@iwannaapple7190]

If you tell me the amounts of each oil he used I could tell you. Takes me about a minute or two so its not out of my way. Would be glad to help you.

[@nicoladriana]

Please, I make biodiesel and I have glycerin. Can I use glycerin instead of palm oil? Thanks for understanding.

Just lemons!

Where do you sell your soaps?

Mostly from home and word of mouth.

Hello.. would you be kind enough to share your recipe here but in percentages "%" ? so that i can make a small test batch..lol
