The longer it cures ,the milder it becomes. Here in Greece we use olive oil soap everywhere, even in the laundry.

[@FatBellyChemist1234]

olive oil soap washing clothes is superior.

[@fartzerelli1385]

[@KrusinTheSierra]

I would love to have an olive oil laundry soap recipe to follow!

[@tatianaschoenfield9819]

I made tons of soaps during college, that was many years ago. I still have a box of my cold process soaps and while they attract some humidity and lost their scents they are still excellent soaps to this date. Washed off the dust with one hand wash and they are ready to go…no body lotion needed.

[@thepearlygoatsoapery9512]

I have soap from 10 years ago and the lather is wonderful. I would always sacrifice fragrance for lather. So o personally use soap between 2-6 years old usually.

[@Soul.7]

@@thepearlygoatsoapery9512 Wow, amazing information. So good to know that soap has a great shelf life when made well. I’ve seen soap in museums that are hundreds of years old. Some Egyptian soaps thousands of years old. They look rather tired, but the curator plaques say these soaps lather and are fully functional. Love that!. 🌻

[@emerencespringer]

Happy dance for the return of the internet, new stick blender, and more soap... I've wanted to make my own soap for close to 30 years, just didn't have access to how, as much of what I previously read made the process sound very scary, but in the past 6 months, I see I can do this. Several months ago I bought everything I though I might need and have been watching lots of videos and reading what I can. I like to learn first through reading and watching, then experience and experiment by trying or doing as much as I can.... so instead of starting out with blends of oils or recipes, I thought I would start by making single oil soaps, from the most basic and easiest oils to get olive, coconut, lard, etc just to practice with and learn the characteristics of each oil, and how each oil compares. Da ta da... I made my first batch of unscented olive oil soap last week. I felt very confident and terrified at the same time... and then here is your video with lots of information.... and everything makes so much more sense, after reading, watching, then doing, then watching again... Thank you so much for your videos that are gentle and informative. 👏 👏 🤗 🤗 🎀 ❤

[@thepearlygoatsoapery9512]

Your soap is always so Beautiful! This is one of my favorite soaps. I make them with locally sourced fresh raw goat milk. The long cure def improves the lather. I make them unscented usually. I also love Bastille Soap 70% Olive, 25% Coconut & 5% Cocoa Butter. It becomes rock hard so fast but needs a long cure as well 6 - 12 mo. I use a powerful dehumidifier & a milk discount. These are generally organic

[@johnrowley4686]

Thank you for sharing this with us all! Huge soap cutter, big pot, and now a commercial grade blender by Kitchen Aid, well deserved for sharing your expertise avec la monde! Merci /Les Etats Unis

[@OZARKMEL]

6 to 12 month curing time? I don't know how you can wait that long! I have difficulty waiting 24 hours to unmold.....thank you, you are amazing. I am going to try this....and learn patience. :)

[@ArianeArsenault]

OZARKMEL yes it is a long wait time! This is the type of soap you put in the drying area and forget about for a while! For me, I always have my previous batch available while a new one is drying 😉

[@nurchen6611]

After 12 monts of curing, does the essential oil still have its scent? 🤔 Just curious

[@joanbelmont5450]

[@adogcalledkuttus]

@@nurchen6611 l have the same question.

[@micheltelos5821]

make a soap is a kind of therapy for me. I need to learn how to wait with patience.

[@shesellsfish]

I adore a well made an aged castille soap. You will come to love your new commercial blender. Kitchen Aid rocks for giving you one, and you ROCK at soap making.

[@ArianeArsenault]

ShelbyRae Lane thank you! I have used it a few more times since shooting this video and I love it and am getting along very well!!!

[@brendaguadalupebriones6798]

Estoy enamorada de este arte, y de cómo explicas las elaboraciones. Mil gracias y éxitos. Con sed de aprender nuevamente gracias por publicar. Saludos

[@Soul.7]

Me too, me too! Passion, passion passion, obsession, addiction. What an art to really appreciate!

[@raefrazer]

I love Kitchenaid and use a model for my soap making. I was totally amazed at how fast the Castile soap came to trace! I’ve blended for a 1/2 hour previously! Cool!!

[@ciennagirl53]

Compared to the 1st time I started watching you your English has gotten so great

[@bellacare727]

Love love love this. Yes pure castile soap. Love your new stick blender. Your tools keep getting bigger 😊

[@soapdaddy7071]

I am a new soapmaker and love watching Ariane's videos. I am a child of the 80's and she reminds me so much of Jami Gertz.

[@fionar1656]

Beautiful soap, lovely video, wondeful soap cutters & an amazing stick blender gift.

[@bdwriter1957]

oh, I'm so happy you have the new stick blender. Enjoy learning from you. congrats on the gift from KitchenAid

[@cathypadilla4478]

Ariane.. my daughter and I are huge fans!! We are enamored by your beautiful work.

[@23page11]

I really love watching your videos.i am new to soap making .and soon try out making new soaps. Thanks

[@vickimartin2588]

Thank you so much for this video. I'd given up making castile soap because I kept burning through immersion blenders trying to bring it to trace. I had no idea a commercial grade immersion blender even existed! YAY!

[@MustaffaCuppa]

Ariane - lucky you for receiving that amazing blender! And I bet this soap smells amazing! Watching this made me feel happy, as I usually do when watching you make soap. Also your friend Jay's music was appreciated by my ears! Nice video.

[@ArianeArsenault]

MustaffaCuppa I’m glad I made your day happy!

[@mariantejoseph3286]

It's amazing. Your video is not too complicated. I love it. Stay blessed

[@HomeOfSoaps]

Awesome I love castile soap. Where we used to live we were near Amish community and they made a lot of this

[@thetruthwillsetyoufree5974]

Love your videos! You inspired me to start making soap. I made my first batch last week and it came out perfectly. The waiting is the hardest part but I'm sure it will be well worth it.

[@PIPERJIM2024]

Absolutely amazing 👍

[@candiceknuth-winterfeldt2922]

You’re amazing talent is inspiring! I am just starting out soaping so my stock is obviously small, but your videos are like soaping goals! I am trying to perfect my technique, making sure I can make the same soap over and over again. I sure do covet those soap molds and containers and cutters though! Thanks for the videos!

[@emanjassar5438]

Nice work...Love it ..

[@kimberlywaterburydewittdew7542]

Yes I usually do around 6 months, but indeed the longer u wait , the harder the bar!! But it’s so worth the wait!!!

[@Winnyj73]

Such lovely soap, my grandparents used to make Castile soap like this one in Lebanon with the olive oil from their own harvest, I loved that soap!

[@fjhaydn6047]

Did they add fragrance?

[@loodiamexican]

You had me at lavender!😍

[@CIsler-sk1rx]

Snazzy new stick blender. I like.

[@hushhh2474]

So awesome. What a great gift.

[@bangnhifamily6897]

I really like this video. Thanks for your sharing.

[@jenniferhalliwell416]

For those watching this video Ariane is right! I have this stick blender and it is SUPER STRONG!!!!! Its so strong it sucks the bottom of the pot like a vacuum! And it causes FAST TRACE even if you have it set to low!!!! This is perfect if you want fast trace but for those who need more trace time for designs...you DO NOT want to use this for that. But it is great! But your soap will trace in seconds...just a warning to all you soapers! And I do mean seconds! You will almost have no time to pour!

[@cauverymk2347]

Nice vedio. U have shared the recipe. I mean exact measurements. That's important if I want to try. I am Carrol Jeppu from India. Bengaluru. Do give the recipe.

[@khadijahgarba8182]

Love your videos Ariane. Merci

[@maureengreen4008]

Thank you for mentioning about the trace for Olive Oil soap. I did a batch for myself ages ago - maybe early last year and it did what you said. It had crumbled on me after it had dried overnight. Couldn't think why as I had made a batch beforehand. I was very reluctant to throw it out but it didn't get any better with sitting for longer. Thanks for that little bit of information.

[@Soul.7]

Rebatch it next time - no need to throw it out and waste all that oil. Shred it down in a food processor and melt or mix quantities of it in a new recipe soap batch. xx

[@dorothyp.9417]

I like the way you cut these💞
