I’m here watching your video to get a refresher on soap making. I usually make several batches once a year for personal use and Christmas gifts. You have such a calming demeanor and voice. I have my own recipe that I use but I very much appreciate your generosity in sharing your recipes. I started adding yogurt to my soap last year for the first time after watching your video. The yogurt made such an improvement in the fluidity of my soap, the prettiest batches I had ever made, thank you. Also, that clay is fabulous and I hope you can continue to find it for sale in the future.

[@sierrahumbert4086]

I love your products so much ! And I love learning how you make everything. Can’t wait for the whipped butter to be back !

[@ronaawalt3311]

Love the red clay color in your soap, it's beautiful! Ok, now I'm going to have to make some hot process soap, haven't made it for about a year. I love the feel of hot process, especially after adding greek yogurt. Thanks for the SPARK to get me started on some HP soap!😉😊

[@JustKrista50]

Hi! I think I've watched all your videos! ❤ I'm brand new to making soap and after watching so many videos, I decided HP was for me. I don't have the patience for waiting on CP to set/saponification. 😂 I think the same! I added my vit E oil at the very end because I believe it will have more of the benefit. Who knows, but it makes sense and sounds good! 😂❤ I also added my EO thinking the same, after the cook, the soap will have the best hope of having the benefits. I learned something from you. Add my clays to the oils as they cook. I added those after the cook too and ended up with glops of soap that wouldn't let me smooth it. 😂 I handed it to my child saying, "nevermind that bumpy lumpy part, look at the other part" Thank you so much for all you have shared! I've learned so much from you, Ellie, Rhonda and Walnut Creek. It's also so very relaxing to listen to you all. ❤❤

Your hot process soap is so much more fluid than mine gets. I'll have to check out your recipe and re-watch this episode again to see what we do differently.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It’s pretty workable if you keep it warm.

[@sandywest4299]

[@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589]

You always do a great job with your HP soap. I prefer CP, too, but HP is a fun change from time to time.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! Yes, I'm a CP girl at heart, but this is fun once in a while❣️

[@annreinbeau]

I am an experienced hot process soap maker. Yes, keeping everything warm is essential for fluid hot process, and I also have a spritz bottle available of water to keep the top from getting crusty. Glad I've got a nice supply of the red reef clay, I didn't realize they weren't mining it anymore. I doubt I'll need to buy more anyways! A little does go a long way, too much you get stained washcloths. Nice job with the Thieve oil in hot process, it's a seizer in cold process fer sher. Lovely soap! ETA as far as 'gooey' goes, the fact that you need a lot of liquid in a hot process batch to keep it fluid is one really good reason why hot process soap needs to cure just as long as cold process. I give all my bars a full 8 weeks, cold process or hot process.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks, that means a lot coming from a seasoned HP maker❣️

[@ashley-cz1sl]

I love making hot-process soap. If I have a batch of soap I don't like the way it came out I melt it down in the crockpot and re-do it

Hello Ruth, love watching your videos, never made a hot process, but wondering if there's different benifits from hot process to cold? Thankyou 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I don't think there's much of a difference after the cure, they are both wonderful soaps. Just different approaches to making

[@steelersgirl071961]

Hi Ellen, do you have to grind the TD down before you use it ,because it's not micronized? Does that mean it's not fine like others? I just ordered some is why I'm asking lol.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've not had to do that, it dissolves in water pretty well

🖐👏👏👏

[@thegrandmagnoliamanor857]

what can I use instead of Palm oil I am learning so much from your channel thank you

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You could use more coconut oil, but if you change the oils you'll need to run the numbers thru soap calc because it may change your lye ratio.

[@steelersgirl071961]

Hi again Ellen lol, I want to make a premix of TD in 4 ounces of oil, I have the water and oil soluble kind so, how many teaspoons of TD would I put in it? I can't seem to find the answer on here lol!? Thank you 😊 💓.

I like a 1 to 2 ratio, so I would put in 2 oz of TD for 4 oz oils...

Sugar is a lather booster and helps create abundant bubbles.

[@Michelle_L1974]

Thank you for answering! ❤

[@laurathompson3040]

Im a cp soap maker. Your video makes me want to try HP lol. Your bars turned out fantastic! I do have a question though. Why do the superfats get added in at the end? And does sodium lactate have a different purpose in HP?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

From what I've read the sodium lactate helps keep it fluid at the end so you can swirl, and I just add the SF at the end because that's what I saw other HP makers do... I'm still learning💕

[@laurathompson3040]

@@EllenRuthSoap thank you! 😊 are there any youtube hp makers you recommend watching?

[@jeniajohnson8589]

Super fat at the end let's u control exactly how much precious fats are in the results because unless a scientist who actually knows what percentage of your base oils gets eat up by the lye . If you run your recipe through your soap calc and discount a super fat percentage of 5 (which is standard) who actually knows what percentage of what superfatting oils are destroyed during the process!! That's why I put my recipe superfat percentage in the calc to 0 so I know exactly what I put in stays in the final bar. Also other than yogurt and sodium lactate many people use soy lecithin instead but is a little more sticky! Another interesting thing is actually using whole eggs tempered in at the end which gives fluidity as well plus amazing skin benefits! A soapers journey is always a process of learning and creating which I adore! One woman that I enjoy watching is Kimberly Mcnutt @ essential soap! She's gotten a bad rep from many other fellow soapers but I say if you haven't tried it please don't knock it! She is a cracked up down to earth person! So please give her a watch! Ellen is extremely intuitive and amazing to boot!! Bless my fellow soapers young & experienced!

[@jeniajohnson8589]

Y'all are very welcome!

[@unparalleled3039]

Ive heard superfats are often added in soaps that have high coconut oil percentage to keep the bar less harsh on skin as co can be drying when using a higher amount in soap recipe.

[@samihage1223]

What color did you use? Clay or açaí powder? And the beige color? What maximum temperature

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I talk about the color in the intro. it's Red Reef Clay. I use the high temp on my crockpot.

[@peaceandfuntimes]

Hello , what does silk do for your soap? I know, dumb question! Lol

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It gives the lather a silky feel, and makes the bars glossy.

[@almy1]

The sugar you add, what does it do to the soap? Or what effect do you get?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Sugar is a lather booster and builder in soap, so it gives abundant fluffy lather👍

[@Nina-2311]

U inspired me & I wanna do this recipe like right now but I don't got yogurt. Can I use Buttermilk instead?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, you could use buttermilk. I would reduce the amount because buttermilk is more liquid, so maybe use 1.5 oz of it..

[@Nina-2311]

@@EllenRuthSoap Yes! Ok I will try it and let you know about it. I'm doing it with lavender & mint!

[@Nina-2311]

@@EllenRuthSoap oh my! I must update you regarding this recipe. I really love it! The lather is great! I do believe I made a mistake & u were correct regarding the Buttermilk, yogurt is best as the soap is still soft after 12 hours but is not sticky so that's good. I followed your recipe with the difference that i added rose clay instead and tried to do a small pink mica swirl. I wish i could send you a picture of the soap! I did went a bit overboard with the Buttermilk but the lather is WOW! I will use it in my cold process too test more. For the essential oils mix I used the following: 50% lavender, 15% peppermint, 15% sandalwood, 10% vetiver & 10% lotus flower. It's nice but I believe the sandalwood and mint empowered it lol.
