I love my AVACADO Soaps.. I have done puree, then I've done my own cold pressed Avacodo Oil, Also sun dried AVACADO Seed Tea W/ Avacodo Skin sun dried and then as a Scrub. It's DIVINE.. It's good to see someone using the entire Fruit.. So many people think that if you use PUREE in the soap it will go rancid, but it doesn't because of the Saponification Process, love it TY for Sharing your video, absolutely Divine!!

[@SoapSchoolUK]

Oh wow, you have so many fab ways to use avocado. Right up my street! I am definitely going to try drying the skin and then grinding it in a coffee grinder. I like to use the ground seed in my body scrubs too :D

[@JeanLoch]

Great video and the soap looks gorgeous. I will definitely be giving it a try. I love your cutter, is it available to purchase?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

It's great to hear you liked it :). Hope your works out well too. the soap cutter is from a company called soap cutter on Etsy and they have a variety of models and work very well. This is their store www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SoapCutter?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=694389962

@@SoapSchoolUK Thank you

[@cliviascreations]

I make and love avocado soaps, used the peel for coloring ( added to the lye water) and the seed to make shampoo bars, but never used the entire avocado on a soap. I couldn’t find the link to the video you mentioned, thank you for sharing

It can but I dont recommend soaps for face use

How beautiful 😻 I will be doing this recipe one day. How was the lather test, thanks in advance if you are going to respond x

[@SoapSchoolUK]

It's good, lots of tight creamy lather bubbles

[@BarlowSmith]

Thank you so much for this I thoroughly enjoyed watching your process. I am yet to attempt making my very first batch of soap. I would love to make this recipe as a gift for someone special to me, my question is what is the best way to gift wrap (I favour clear cellophane) & how long should I leave it before I wrap it? Hope I have made sense 🤗

[@SoapSchoolUK]

Hi Carol, I am biased but I think you will love soap making. It generally needs 6 to 8 weeks drying before it's wrapped. I like to use a paper band around it or glassine but cellophane works well too. good luck making your first soap!

[@BarlowSmith]

@@SoapSchoolUK How lovely that you responded so quickly to my comment/question, thank you so very much for the advice 🤗

Hi Karina, I gel my soaps usually

[@karinacanova7960]

@@SoapSchoolUK 😊 thank you so much.

[@mamaguile7587]

Excellent video. What preservative would you use in the soap?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

Hi Mama, If you stick to the amounts and fully puree the avocado it will not require a preservative.

[@gizmonails]

Can you make avocado soap with melt and pour soap?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

Not fresh avocado as it would not be saponified

[@ottowong4738]

What kind of oil are you using

[@SoapSchoolUK]

The full recipe is in the description:)

[@CeciSylvia]

Hi Sarah, I love avocado! Thank you for this video :) I have a couple of questions....on the course you mentioned not to go above 30% with coconut, this recipe has a higher content of coconut - I think? Is it to compensate for the avocado? Also what can you substitute palm oil with?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

Hi Sharon, It is ideal to keep the coconut or cleansing element at under 30% but it isn't fixed in stone. When you start using a SAP claculator you can begin to adjust the different parameters to tweak the elements of your soap recipe. You can't just swap the palm for a different oil sadly. As each oil and butter has a different SAP value you would need to build a recipe and recalculate the amount of lye accordingly. You could create a recipe with alternative hardening elements like cocoa butter, shea butter and calculate that new recipe

[@bertrandfrederic6152]

Hi Sarah, and thank you for sharing your techniques and expertise. I tried that recipe a while ago using water discouny and it came out as a good soap with a terrible smenn. I think it is due to the avocado oil I used but not sure. Did you use fragrance in your recipe, and if not, how can I avoid that strong chemical smell that persisted even after 1 year? I hesitate to rebatch and perfume it. Thanks in advance for your input and have a nice day

[@SoapSchoolUK]

Does the avocado oil smell before you make soap? I havent had this happen so I'm not sure

[@bertrandfrederic6152]

@@SoapSchoolUK Yes it does, and I thought saponification would cover it but it didn´t. Doesn´t avocado oil always have that kind of smell?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

@@bertrandfrederic6152 No it should smell fresh, sounds like its maybe gone rancid?

[@bertrandfrederic6152]

@@SoapSchoolUK Well that must be it than. Thank you Sarah 👍🩷

[@salazarsly7145]

Hi....my avocado soap changed colour from green to dark brown after I poured it into the mould. Why is this happening ? Plz reply. Thank u.

[@SoapSchoolUK]

It probably started gelling. See the colour at the end :)

[@salazarsly7145]

The colour has changed to a light greenish brown this morning. Thank u 😊

[@cherlalla74]

Can I use just coconut and olive oil to make this soap and if soap can u do up the measurements plz

[@SoapSchoolUK]

Hi Cheryl, you would need something to firm up the recipe and then run the new recipe through a SAP calculator to determine the new lye amount.

[@victorejovwokeenamuotor8566]

hi Sarah Janes, i love the avocado soap, but i have few questions here, what are the ingredients, measurements and the amount of fresh avocado needed

[@mackmain2110]

Where did you get the cutter from?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

I have several. The metal cutter is from soap cutter pro on Etsy, the wooden one is from ForCraftsSake

[@ZorinBlitz777]

How long does the soap last? Since it uses fresh ingredients?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

If its fully pureed they last at least two years Seras

[@KKISCRAZYFUL]

That's awesome it doesn't turn brown! Do you know why it doesn't though?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

Not sure why. Most botanical-based colours will eventually brown though

[@tamarimorchadze6502]

Which soap calculator do you use?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

thesage or soapcalc

[@tamarimorchadze6502]

If I use 1fresh avocado in my recipe how much water amount do I have to reduce exactly in general?

[@Saturnoche]

Could you use only avocado and NaOH?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

You could but it would make a very soft soap

[@da5449]

Thank you for the video... Because avocados turn brown, would this soap turn brown?

[@SoapSchoolUK]

It will fade to a beige in time

The chromium green gives it a stronger green colour. Sodium hydroxide transforms the fatty acids into soap

@@SoapSchoolUK : Hi Sarah! Thanks a ton for clarification. U r amazing:) Grateful to u for sharing the same.
