[@thebest41or2]

The reason why the Ph is relatively high is that you dissolved the lye and used it right away. You should dissolve it and keep it in room temperature for at least 24 hours. This yields the soap to be very smooth and with low Ph level. As for the lather part, try adding some citric acid next time, thus enhances the production of lather. This info is passed on to me by a professional soap maker where I live in Damascus. So try it this way next time. Keep it up 👍

[@chiumiranda305]

Thanks for the tips 🎉 would love to learn more. Thanks

[@Sabaseb]

It's very interesting, but what about the temp between lye and oils? I'm new as a soap maker 🥹

[@dfanize]

I did my first batch n it tested about 11 on the ph strip even after 7 wks. Does it mean the soap has failed n not safe to use? What can I do with the batch of failed soap?

[@nutequest]

I’m a 4th year naturopathy student. Keeping the temperature below 60 degrees is a good idea to keep the medicinal properties. Rosemary is very good for stimulating hair growth and soothing psoriasis sores. Good to see another Australian on KZbin showing the world how it’s done :)

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks, yes that's ideal but soap recipes get a lot hotter than that through saponification unfortunately, so overheating is almost unavoidable.

[@diannellyfetalvero4893]

​@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I make 11 variants of herbal soap using coconut oil and fresh extract of neem leaves, moringa leaves, kakawate leaves, guava leaves, akapulko leaves, aloe vera leaves, papaya leaves and fruits, kamias fruit juice (averrhoa balimbi), lemon juice, pineapple extract and turmeric extract with no essence added to preserve it purity.

​@@annepatteet7689 I'd poke through the meat with a metal skewer, take it out and put the rosemary stick in instead❤

[@Helen-cw1qs]

I used to teach Medievel apothecary and I am excited to start soap making soon following your advise. The best time of day to pick herbs is first thing in the morning before the sun has had a chance to evaporate the aromatic oils. Pick after any dew has evaporated and before the sun gets hot. See if you get an even richer rosemary oil picking earlier. Just an idea to try.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks, that's great. I think my rosemary is very strong any time of the day! Great advice for more delicate herbs though.

That sounds like such an interesting subject!!!

[@KoniB.]

Holy Moley! I happened upon this on Sunday afternoon, kind of drowsing, this woke me right up and my mind has not stopped running. I have never thought on making soap, I love to buy homemade soaps at fairs and farmer markets, but WOW. This is a truly knockout video, calm and in a true spirit of teaching. You have wetted my attention. From the middle of a large rosemary pasture, in the Great State of Texas, Yee Haw!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you so much!

[@FigaroHey]

Whetted, not 'wetted.' She didn't get your attention 'wet' she sharpened it - like using a whetstone to sharpen a knife. And we don't 'whet' our attention; we 'whet' our appetite. Texans... do you have schools there?

[@oraclepanda]

Coconut oil is the lather maker in the main trinity of oils. Palm adds hardness and olive cleanses. Castor oil ups the lather and skin nourushment, as does butters (butters also add hardness). Hemp seed is very nourishing as well, maybe try using a bit of that since it's also a green color? Thanks for the video, I've been curious about what infusing our main batch oils would do and this gave lots of imput. That was a wild color morph, i probably would have freaked out if i tried it without your video! 😂

[@joyaghosh2940]

So now I have so many lovely moments in this video: 1. Writing the weight of the mugs at the bottom , game changer really how One never thinks of these simple things. 2. The point where you say this video raises more questions than it answers. 3. The point where you laugh over the fact that there is no lather 4.Elly it really is so heart warming to see how you are still so excited to cut a soap, I mean after 10 years of soaping and see what is there in it, and and also by the colour changes. Waiting to see the larther test of these after 2 months.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Joya, thank you! I'm getting better at learning what to include and what to leave out. THANK YOU for that amazing feedback. It helps me so much 💗

[@joyaghosh2940]

You most welcome, the amazing video motivated me to write this feedback

[@donnastormer9652]

Thank you for the video. I was so glad to learn how to infuse fresh leaves . For years I have infused much of my olive oil with dried chamomile and then I keep a couple of bottles of infused comfrey olive oil. I have always use the dried leaves and just let it sit in the olive oil for a few months and then strain it. Comfrey makes an absolutely gorgeous green for marbling soaps with, I have a large rosemary plant myself and I’m going to try your method. I really appreciate your recipes in your teaching technique. They always work well for me. I have been making soap for well over 40 years and I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you. Donna in NW Florida. By the way, just for preference, I only infused extra-virgin olive oil. Then I use that oil in a normal recipe with no other changes calculated because of the infusion , the soaps always turned out beautifully. I didn’t realize I was supposed to do something different.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hi Donna, you can do it many ways. I just wanted to infuse all of my oil with the rosemary, but definitely easier to infuse just one oil. Just sharing my fun experiments :) Thanks so much for your wonderful words, I appreciate your comment very much. Thanks also for the comfrey tip, I have a lot of comfrey in my garden! You probably can see it in the video. We use it as a weed barrier around the vegie gardens. Thanks again, Elly

[@ErmesonVGondim]

PH until 8 is ok especially if it is recently done. Normally we should wait at least 20 days before using a soap.

[@AbiolaAdams-h9o]

Elly I recently start making soaps like 5 months ago and I start using your calculations in measuring my oils and lye and my Soaps came out beautiful, but I try to be very creative I will use fresh fruits and blend them and others times i will use spices like clove powder and cinnamon powder and so on. Thank you elly I appreciate your videos.

i did this soap afetr infusing roseamry during eight weeks, the smell was incredible, im totally addicted to this smell now

[@mariahmollel1258]

How did you infuse? And did the smell come through after making the soap?

[@Sydney.Bright]

@@mariahmollel1258 there are a lot of book about "folk method" wihch is cold infusion (between 4 and 8 weeks) but you can also find tutorials to sterilize and clean the jars. you let the jar closed during weeks and you open it, the smell go in your entire house. But be very careful and read a lot on folk method before doing it

I've just got a heap of rosemary from a local crop swap and won't have enough time to infuse the rosemary in the oil until I come back home in a fortnight. I'll have to freeze it and hope it still works. Thanks for another wonderful and informative video Elly. You're a legend for sharing. Have a great day.

[@AlyGuez]

Hi! Im spanish and using new and clean virgin olive oil is a sacrilege. Use the kitchen used oil, the Sodium hydroxide is going to kill the properties anyways. This way you can recycle the used oil, in Spain we make soap with the oil used for cooking, we dont throw it in the garbage (is also forbiden because a drop of oil contaminates thounsands litres of water). The main point is not to waste the oil. Also!! try to avoid metal spoons to move the mix, use wooden spoons :) Greetings.

[@dianetm8557]

Can you tell me if the smell of the cooked items in the spent oil comes through to the final soap? I understand my question comes many months after you posted. Gracious!

[@AlyGuez]

@@dianetm8557 Hi! You won’t notice any smell because sodium hydroxide neutralizes them. You can add any essence if you want. Here we use this kind of soaps to wash delicate clothing and cotton clothes in general. We also use it for kitchen counter cleaning, floors, tiles… This soap is a good bug repellent so you can dissolve a teaspoon in a liter of water and spray it on the plants. 🤍 its name is ‘jabón de castilla’.

[@andreamegec9836]

​@@AlyGuez Hi dear, can you give me some recipe. I have used sunflower oil and can this work?

[@AlyGuez]

@@andreamegec9836 Yes of course. I let you a recipe. Used oil = 1 kg. sodium hydroxide = 140 g. water = 326 g. Instructions: Step 1 Strain the used oil with a strainer to remove all impurities and residue. Once strained, reserve the oil for later. Step 2 Pour the water into a container. Step 3 Carefully add the caustic soda to the water, never the other way around. Stir with the wooden spoon until it dissolves completely. The mixture should be clear. It will warm up, but that's normal. Therefore, it's essential to stir slowly to avoid possible burns. Step 4 Let the previous mixture rest until it cools. Then, it's time to add the vegetable oil that we had reserved. Continue stirring until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Step 5 At this point, you can add essential oils, a natural colorant or any substance you want to enrich the natural soap. Step 6 Pour the mixture into one or more molds, depending on the format you want for your soap. Step 7 Wait a couple of days for it to completely solidify. Then, you can remove it from the mold and cut it. Step 8 For the soap to harden completely and for the process to be completed successfully, let the already cut soap rest for at least another month. After this time, your soap is ready! You have to use that exact quantities and please be careful, use thick gloves and safe glasses. Also try yo

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Ah yes. Best to calculate the recipe after the straining :)

[@ajitdhatrak1477]

Nice demonstration. The process of saponification can be fastened by heating the oil and the sodium hydroxide together. No foam means unreacted oil is still present in the soap.

[@pinkiedee]

I did it! I made it and had so much fun. Watching the colour morph in person was wild… right up there with Himalayan rhubarb infused oils. Thanks again so much for this inspiring video, Elly.

[@etheleh5115]

Hi Elly. I’ve never seen a rosemary plant that big. Didn’t know it could get that big. Where I live I’ve only seen it in pots as patio plants. I have a small pot and hope it will be enough. I’ve never seen another soap video as good as yours. Many people sharing on You Tube won’t even put in recipe links. That goes for food too. I like the way you explain things so thoroughly. Other You Tubers could sure learn a lot from you about how to make a video that people actually want to watch. I’m camping as I write this but eager to try the soap when I’m home. Thanks as always. Cathy

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks so much Cathy, I appreciate your comment immensely! This rosemary plant was given to me by a neighbour. It's a very tall variety!

[@jeanettehaygood4154]

Cathy if you can find it the variety GORIZIA ROSEMARY is a wonderful upright type of rosemary. It can grow 5 feet tall in good conditions. Hope this helps!

[@bettynickelson779]

? Does these soaps stop up plumbing being olive, palm, tallow, coconut oil? Just wondering.

[@bardigan1]

Hi Elly and thanks for your very helpful videos. Just wanted to pass on a tip for your cleanup video from a few years ago. Caustic waste water was a problem for me too until I started pouring some household cleaning vinegar into the wash water. It doesn't take much and neutralizes the caustic water instantly with no fumes. Salts are the main byproduct. It's cheap, easy and no mess.

[@brightchange6065]

I used this technique for the COLOR alone! I ended up making a pure ALOE soap with it --- THE COLOR IS PHENOMENAL!! It's the most lovely olivy-sagey-pale green .. it's perfect!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Fantastic! The colour is great.

[@kelliethistlethwaite3918]

Thanks so much for sharing Elly. My rosemary bush is currently taller than me so I'm excited to use more of my rosemary in my next rosemary soap and give the bush a prune at the same time! I am fascinated by soaps that colour morph like this one, it never gets old watching an oil change when the lye hits it, and then watching soaps change again as they cure. Himalayan rhubarb is also a great botanical for colour morphing, although it does fade after it's cured if it's exposed to sunlight for too long. Wondering if the green will hold its colour in the coming months, I'll have to experiment and see how it goes!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks for your reflections.. I think this colour might fade a bit. We'll see...

@@BaumgartBathCo lol between their baths and the rosemary I agree, these dogs of mine are mostly not offensive! Now I need to do some research about rosemary and making a soap for my dog’s bath. I had to stop taking them to groomers because so much of the product they use is heavily perfumed. I was even taking my own shampoo to the groomer. It dawned on me that is so silly to pay a groomer and provide product and still get perfumed pets. Covid forced my hand when groomers were forced to close in California, and I learned to do the grooming myself. Im no pro but I can get the job done. :)

Thanks Ellie been waiting it to be posted. Ive used rosemary in shampoo and hair oil no colour as different process. But now I must try this Rosemary in soap using my recipe when i get back to Aus. I love the colour change that occurs with ingredients from nature. When you cut it it looked like a lovely iced sponge cake. For newbies it may be easier to just use olive oil for the infusion then after strained and calculated amount, then add what other oils or butters your recipe calls for, to give you the total oil quantity you need. This is how i do my infusions for soap.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Exactly. I go over those options in the blog post :)

[@bearridgefarm]

I’m planning on making a horsetail/nettle/rosemary shampoo bar. I have the oil infused (from a couple months ago when the horsetail was first coming up). I just gave it the sniff test and it doesn’t smell rancid or anything so here’s to hoping! Anyway, you’ve inspired me to actually do it now. I hope it turns out as lovely as yours did.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

It might be fine as soap, but definitely don't ingest any of it! Botulism is a concern with fresh herb infusions in oil. It thrives in anaerobic environments and you can't taste or see it. Be very careful and do some more research I'd say. I don't think I'd risk it.

Herbalist here, you did perfect, never cook the herbs above 96 or so. Also it gets the moisture out if you use this method, so you could store it but only for like 3 months or so after straining. and that's not about moisture, that's about cooking the oil which changes how the oil lasts. last note, don't squeeze with fresh plant matter( it keep moisture in the plants not squeezed out the last bit) let it drip out!!!

I love this idea for a 100% natural soap using rosemary from the garden. I started soap making during lockdown #2 (Melbournian). I don't worry about using palm oil because, as I've discovered, it's not actually easy to buy it here unless it is from an ethically sustainable source. You have me thinking that I might try this technique in Summer, when my lavender is in full bloom.

[@marycummings5204]

Use vinegar to netrize. The castic soda. With a little washing up liquid in the water when you clean up As for the lather. In your soap leave it to cure for the complete 6 weeks before using If you ever try making hot process soap you can use the soap straight away as the castic soda. Isn't not longer present in the soap Anyway love the lovely green in your soap thanks for a great video ❤

[@whitewaveLuff.74]

I made some too Lavender , melted Casteel soap shaved melted flower pedals and water

[@tconcotelli]

I really don’t mind a low lather soap. I made a soap with some cocoa butter and lanolin that I wanted to use up. It has the lowest lather but still leave my skin clean and so so soft.

Dry out all your herbs in a dehydrator, this way you don't have to worry about spoilage. Also, guickly grind your herbs into very small pieces and keep it in the soap🙏🏻

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks for the tips!

[@erdbeerzwiebel3404]

The dehydrator does kill alot of the terpenes and pieces in the soap seems like it would be annoying when you're in a process of cleaning yourself.

[@RizuSama]

@@erdbeerzwiebel3404no, they act as natural exfoliators instead-but ofc it would have to be in really tiny pieces, think like coarse black pepper or sesame seeds in size tops

[@justin7sanchez]

will the heat from saponification not denature the terpenes anyway?

[@niyyahhandcrafted]

I adore your soap videos, my rosemary plant is such a baby right now but I hope it grows healthy so I can try this method. Thank you for sharing!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

You're welcome. I hope that for you too!

[@24shwetaa]

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you! 😊

Hello Elly . I am just starting melt and pour soaps but love to watch how you work. For me this recipe looks like the Aleppo soap .It has lots of olive oil and rosemary .When you buy it in the middle east it doesnot lather eiher .But it is a great soap .I watch you from Brittany France .🌺

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you, I'd love to try making Aleppo soap one day, but the laurel oil is hard to get and very expensive here. Glad you enjoyed this.

[@indigobaby3]

The green colour is so pretty 😮

[@kyerstenkerr5074]

Wow! Thanks for sharing! So jealous of your rosemary, she's massive and beautiful!!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

So nice of you

[@NightBear007]

Hi Elly- I have made lots of infused oils (as an herbalist in training) :) I was taught that to keep the medicinal properties of any herb infused oil to keep the temperature below 200 degrees.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks for the info!

[@annepatteet7689]

Farenheit I suppose? So 93 Celsius? That would be quite high still though?

Awesome soap, I love Rosemary! Thank you Ellie!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

You are so welcome!

[@leonormarrero162]

Hello Elly, I see your Rosemary. I do have it in my garden. It is easy to grow, being that needs plenty of sun and only once a week water. It is amazing! Thank you for your videos! Love to watch your videos.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks so much!

[@drgreen111]

Cool I think I’ll use my magic butter machine.very low heat and an automatic blender blade on the bottom.

[@SugunaRamamoorthy-sl3se]

Very nice Ellys. Good presentation.

[@damlat9301]

First off HUGE KUDOS to your sisters!!! Amazing selection!! Also for me personally I take “ tolerate it” as a song to a parent (a dad for me) Like a man that was supposed to be there for you love you all the time be the wise one, yet now because of your life choices or love choices the love is not celebrated it’s tolerated. When you can’t really risk leaving the family and leave it in ruins or just sit and listen, notice everything they do and don’t do… At the end, depending on who you are as a person you either move on or just tolerate it. That’s my personal view of the song
