Making Castile Soap using Stick Blender Hot Process

Castile soap has been made since ancient times. Though today many companies claim to still make Castile, but look closely at the ingredients, many use coconut and other oils.
Castile is popular due to its gentle and mild attributes and is a staple soap for those with sensitive skin. I have sped up the usual "1 year cure" by using a different process. Made with Local Texas Olive Oil. These bars look a bit "rustic" however they are sure to please all who make or use them.

You are a teacher

[@happycustomer3448]

I like your style

[@dashmo37]

Not really knowing any better, I started making HP first. I’ve got to say that it’s actually my favorite way of making soap. I have some Castile that is over 2 years old. I really enjoyed the calming music. Thank you for sharing Patrick and stay well everyone.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi Donna, this is one of the only ones that I do this process with, other than shaving bars. But it is a lot of fun. I hope you're having a wonderful week

[@leahroper2673]

I love that you answered each comment personally. Did I miss how much lye and water? I watched it a few times to see if I want to try this method but didn't see an amount of lye or water

[@cheryl739]

They already look very moisturizing. I didn't know of this faster way to make Castile Soap. I will have to give it a try sometime. Cheers and Blessings to you and the critters, Patrick. 💕💕💕

Hi Cheryl, thanks so much. There are so many ways to do different things and some work and some don't and that's why testing is so important. I hope things are going well for you, have a great day.

I've not seen hot process countertop before thankyou for showing how you make your Hot Process soap. I never imagined you could do this type of soap without a crockpot. Thankyou for Sharing Patrick. This will be a wonderful soap after cure.

Hi there Tanya, thank you so much. It's always great to see you, have a wonderful day and a great week ahead.

[@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589]

Yay, hot process! I've never done the stick blender version, but I love making it in the crock pot. I've discovered the low tech tongue zap is the easiest yet still reliable method to determine if the ph is low enough to be safe. Stay safe and stay well!

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi there Eric, yeah I've never been one for licking soap,haha, generally I will just take some of the soap and then put a drop of Phenolphthalein, that gives me a good safe range

[@teresastrayhorn277]

I never thought of doing castile as a hot process. You taught me something new. Thank you!💖

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi there Teresa, thank you so much, it's just a lot of fun to make soap and I love trying different things and sharing them with you all, of course the most important part is that you try and test things out yourself and find what works best for you. Have a great day.

[@xmaseveholly1266]

💕❤️💕✨ This process is soooo much fun to do!!! But oh boy do you have to pay attention. I’ve only done this 3 times and the 3rd time the process moved along so quickly that it overflowed all over!!! What a mess that was. When it was coming up to the top of my bucket, I was yelling OH NO!!! OH NO!!! OH NO!!! And l was laughing so hard because I knew it was bound to happen to me!!! LOL Your soap came out lovely Patrick!!! I don’t call them rough looking.... I call them “Rustic” 😄😄😄

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

oh yes I know what you mean about that overflow, that's why I used a very deep bucket so that it could do its rising without reaching the top. Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you're having a wonderful day. See you back soon.

[@xmaseveholly1266]

@@SoapyOaksFarm That’s exactly where I made my mistake... not having a deep enough bucket. I’m still very new to soaping. Just started CP in March and HP in June. I’m doing pretty good thanks to soapy friends like you, Patti, Kenny and Katie Carson.... You have a wonderful day too!!! 😊

Hi Pat my Castile soap made in February is still curing, for some reasons I just think hot process when I need to make shaving soaps, ha ,will remember next time for sure Thank you for sharing

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Oh yes, I have some like that too I have made cold process Castile soaps that I do like to age for one even up to two years, this is just a different method I'm not suggesting that it's better it's just another thing to try. And when the pH test is done it's just as mild as the older cure

If u had added a little sugar syrup after cook the soap could’ve been more fluid to pour and wd have added bubbles to lather as well.

Hi there, thanks so much, yes I could have, but I wanted to leave this very basic and did not want to add anything more than the olive oil. I hope you have a great day.

Hello Patrick, great information! Just would like to ask, do we still have to allow 6 months curing for this hot process Castile soap?

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

oh yes you can leave it as long as you like I was just letting you know that you can use it within about 45 days with pretty good success. But yes the longer that you age it the milder and better that it'll be

How long do you cure your hot process soaps? I hear so many different answers

Hi, I generally don't make hot process soaps, but I do know some people cure them for a few weeks however this is Castile so I will let it cure for about 45 days which is much longer than with most hot processed soaps.

@@pjmarks100 oh I see what you mean, I super fat just simply to add a bit more gentleness and that's really the only reason. When you super fat that means that you're adding more oil than the lie can supply so there's a little left over

@@SoapyOaksFarm oook that's rite!! Ty so much 🖤

[@LadyGecko]

I have to disagree that HP quickens ‘cure’ time...it quickens saponification. It still needs to cure because curing isn’t just about water evaporation, but the chemical processes that make for a milder, gentler soap.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi there, I can understand where you are coming from. and I don't disagree that it becomes milder still over time, I am just saying that by using this method it has reduced PH to a safe level and reduced the PH to a much more gentle neutral state. You can try and test the PH yourself, the high heat is what helps the evaporation process that speeds up conversion of the oleic acid.
