This soap is absolutely fantastic!! I love the simple recipe, y’all don’t complicate anything and it’s very beginner friendly! One thing though- I’m a chemist and worked in an organic chemistry lab for a long time. Please don’t add vinegar to sodium hydroxide on your skin! The protocol is to Rinse it under the tap for 15 minutes and go seek professional care if necessary. The acidity and alkaline naoh do cancel each other out so it makes sense in theory, but having that reaction occur on your skin will make things worse!

[@benthere8051]

Diluted vinegar would be okay. Even 10% vinegar is not strong enough to do any damage and would neutralize the NaOH much faster.

WHEN WORKING WITH LYE, ALWAYS ADD LYE TO WATER NOT WATER TO LYE. ALSO NEVER JUST DUMP THE LYE IN, ADD IT IN A LITTLE AT A TIME CUZ IT WILL SPIT. AND IF U R NEW TO THIS, WEAR GOGGLES UNTILL U GET USED TO IT.

Was raised on homemade soap and laundry detergent for years. Saved the family a lot of money in the process

[@enigma___]

I love Coconut oil soap. It's my favorite recipe out of all my soaps. it leaves behind such a clean scent. I don't melt the oil. A heat transfer method works fine. After dissolving the lye water solution (I mix under my stove vent on high and stand back a little to avoid the fumes), it can go straight into the oil and slowly whisk until oil melted from the hot lye water solution. Then you can use the immersion blender. Give it a try. You will save a LOT of time. Any plastic with the #5 in the recycling ♻️ symbol will work. Also your trace is at almost a heavy trace. You can pour right after emulsion at a light trace. I agree on cutting soon after removing from Mould.

That is a great video on how to make soap. I keep thinking about how to make a spice cabinet like you have there. It is so nicely organized!

[@chance2311]

I have a dedicated crockpot for making soap and yes you can do it in a crockpot. but those wands are great...

[@margaretakinlade8642]

This is super easy,, just as I learnt it years ago! Thank you and God bless you.

For laundry soap: 25.6 oz coconut oil 6.4 oz olive oil 12.16 oz water and 5.52 oz lye. Put the oils together then pour over the mixed lye. Stir till coconut oil is melted and stick blend till trace. Pour into mold and do as normal. Let the soap sit 2 weeks then take 2 bars and grate them in a pan add 8 cups of hot water and cook till soap is dissolved. Then add 1 1/2 cups washing soda stir till dissoved then whip with hand mixer add any essential oils. It makes a laundry sauce use a tbl spoon for each load put on an old cloth and wash. Add regular vinegar for softner. Works a treat.

Honestly, making plain soap is expensive so I would just add an extra couple of dollars and used the best base oils like jojoba etc and there was such a huge difference in how it made your skin feel that I just could not believe it. Since I did it as a hobby, I used essential oils, regular fragrance oils etc. and yes you need the mixer. Also my ex built me a wooden soap box and used some of those expensive left over thick window blinds and made it look like a huge ice tray where all I had to do was pour the soap in then slide them into position so when soap was hard, a couple of days max, I would just pull them out and the soap was all ready without having to cut or shave etc. it's been years but I loved making soap but not plain soap

Hi I'm interested in soap making and other chemical products

[@claireryan8074]

My first soap and a good one. I find the bars last longer if I press a plastic bottle cap on the back of the bar. It dries out easily after use.

[@curtischildress9580]

The bottle cap stay inside the bar or is it removed? I don't follow.

[@lynmanzo1734]

Thank you for Sharing Sir.GodBless you!

[@karenreaves3650]

Thank you for your great simple soap recipe.

[@ogrebeast64]

I do a similar soap using Goat Milk, Lye, and Lard or Tallow; utilizing the same steps for your method. 48 oz(3 pounds) of lard, 18 fluid oz of goat's milk, 6 1/4 oz of lye (be precise). This is going to make for you 72 oz of soap (4 1/2 pounds). Definitely use the stick blender when adding the lye to the Goat Milk so it doesn't clump up on you. All the glycerin in this method is left in the soap to do wonders for your skin. BTW, Tallow makes for a much firmer product.

[@pamelajones3769]

Thank you for sharing your ingredients. What is Tallow and where can I buy it from?

[@cutesybunny3360]

GREAT 😃👍 I would add essential oil to it before putting in mold!!

[@reneeowens4285]

What are the measurements of the ingredients? Also can you add essential oil or fragrance to it and if so how much?

[@bondee5865]

Thanks for the best soap making show I've seen! 🙋🏼

[@marypead4260]

It would be very helpful to have the recipe\amounts used available for reference. A sourced from list would be good for the lye as well.

[@kyle7178]

what a character, love the video thank you for the knowledge i find it invaluable

[@Medicgal]

Pro tip as far as getting lye on skin: don’t use vinegar, just use regular water and rinse/flush the skin really well. Vinegar can actually make the chemical burn worse.

[@buddyready9278]

I love this 💑 she made so calmly...good job to this couple 💑

[@reginahudock7444]

Thank you for using Technical terms. Viscosity, soaponify. Excellent, of the hundreds of videos I have watched, you re the first person to use the word viscosity. Also your wife is the first person I ve seen poor the oil into the lye water solution vs the other way around. Kudos. Good work

[@donnaspence8352]

Really appreciate the comedy use while illustrating hot process soap making, it appeared simple,thank you

[@Samm.A]

Can you use the 100% lye bought in home depo? Or should I order “food grade 100% lye” online is there a difference??

[@amylynn4122]

My 12 year old daughter has been wanting to learn how to make soap for a long time. Thank you so much for the great step by step instructions. Thank you for your explanation. I am highly ADHD and absolutely followed along with your directions. I tend to overcomplicate things....It now feels doable. :) Thank you so much! :) If you want to add essential oils/scent to it, when would you add that? :)

[@lleetee3305]

Wow, great video!! I've seen a few soap making videos and this is the easiest and straightfourth with information! I would love to do this but I'm afraid to use the lye. :(

[@BeeUTifulBounty]

Thank you for sharing !! I will be making this along with my honey beeswax soap 🧼 🐝💛🍯

[@grey_renae_647]

I wish there was a way you could post the recipe typed out somewhere in the description 😉

[@kathysoltys3104]

Just write it down as he tells you!

[@liberty8424]

[@shaunikeadaughtry9212]

I'm more impressed with the seasoning rack back there 🤘🏾😩💗

[@karenthorne6644]

This is the kind of recipe they used 200 odd years ago, so for all those professional soap makers.....suck it up!

[@marydictenberg9039]

Very good tutorial. Simple and good for the first time making soap.
