Making Beldi Gel Soap

[@peggypope4383]

Thanks so much for your reply - makes me feel much better about the potassium hydroxide:-)!

[@TracyD2]

Very good and simple instructions

[@joujoubanks7719]

Thank you for this video I tried your recipe and it worked

[@ayomide5002]

Wow, Love this,

Wow ❤️❤️❤️

Hi, its hard to have fresh olives at my area, can i use olive in brine or just omit the olive purée

[@completeness5987]

thank you !!

[@christopherogu182]

At what temperature was the oil before adding the potassium hydroxide lye, also at what temperature was the lye when you added it to the oil heated oil solution

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

80 c oils

hello dear is the olive with the seed inside????

[@rafaelmahmoud8473]

I have a ready pure castile soap, can you please guide me how to make it?

[@Josphinegodspower]

Please if I decide to add shea butter, how many grams of shea butter do I add to it? Thanks

[@mayflylife]

@Josphinegodspower Thank you for your question. I would advise against using Shea butter. Beldi soap is made from olive oil exclusively, and Shea would change the consistency completely.

[@sandylento5798]

Can u tell me temp you cook on w the crock pot...& I've never used lye? Bfr... Did you add the lion distilled water before you made the video and how scary is it lol do you need to be outside I hear it lets off fumes... And is there anyway you could give me the conversion for grams I am in the US thank you ahead of time 🥀

[@idoniokedigun3793]

Thank you for the video. But did you add glycerine

[@idoniokedigun3793]

No I didn't add glycerine

Voyageur Soap carries Pomace Olive Oil :-D

[@Josphinegodspower]

Can I use a regular cooking pot instead of the crock pot?

[@mayflylife]

@@Josphinegodspower I've never used a regular cooker, but you could always try. It must be a low heat so as not to burn the soap, but hot enough that it would cook the soap. The problem is getting the right temperature.

[@Josphinegodspower]

Thanks

[@mhameddalil9539]

Which lye concentration you're using ? Is it 30 % ?

[@mayflylife]

The lye concentration is around 25.3%

[@rooza6638]

Thank you for nice video ❤dear how can I add honey to the morocan soap ?

[@mayflylife]

Manal Saeed To make a genuine Beldi soap honey is never added. I’ve read many recipes and watched lots of videos and I’ve never seen any creator add honey. I wouldn’t recommend it.

[@rooza6638]

😘❤Thank you for your replay dear

[@brunemarie1512]

Hello,thanks for the video.What is "10% superfat" please ?

[@mayflylife]

Thank you for your question. The 10% super fat means there is 10% more oils or butters in the soap recipe.

[@peggypope4383]

This looks wonderful. I just wonder about the potassium hydroxide -- how can this soap be considered all natural if it contains potassium hydroxide? It seems like this chemical has many warnings on its labels so that is why I am asking about it. Thank you.

[@mayflylife]

Believe it or not, but potassium hydroxide is considered a natural product. Potassium hydroxide is a form of wood ash. Researching and reading about the various ingredients used in soap making can be an interesting, fascinating and quite surprising read. Give it a look on the FDA list of natural ingredients, it's quite interesting.

TFS your instructions in the information area says “don’t “ hot process...🤔🧐 which should we do?🤷🏻‍♀️

[@mayflylife]

Oh my goodness! Oops, yes it is a hot process soap. I've amended the description. Thank you so much for pointing that out.

[@emilycalubayan6350]

Hello Madame. How to use Potassium hydroxide? Soap Making using Soap Calculator how about Potassium Hydroxide?

[@mayflylife]

The soap calculator will provide the necessary measurements for you. You will mix the water and potassium hydroxide the same way as you would with sodium hydroxide, but slower.

[@christinehoarau2083]

Hello, no need for preservative?

[@mayflylife]

Thank you for your question. You can use a preservative if you want. I do not due to the cooking process and all water disappears during saponification.

[@idoniokedigun3793]

My soap became harder after two hours. Why?

[@chickenwoodstudio9373]

Thank you for this video! When you are letting it cure for 2 weeks, do you keep it in an airtight container?

[@mayflylife]

As a matter of fact, I usually place it in a bowl with plastic wrap on top. It's not tight, so it allows for moisture to be released, but you could use a container with a lid, that would work just as well.

[@chickenwoodstudio9373]

Okay thanks. I can't wait to try this! @@mayflylife

[@mayflylife]

I think you'll love it, I know I do. 😊

[@conneaness]

What size is your crock pot?

[@mayflylife]

It's about 4 quarts.

[@sarahussain1497]

Do u teach online?? Course

[@saran.robertson3571]

What temperature do you let it cook at?

[@mayflylife]

I set my crock pot to low to prevent it from bubbling over. If the temperature is set too high the soap can mushroom out of your crock pot.
