How can this video gets so many thumps down?🙄The ones who dislike this video doesn't know the benefits of this soap, and what this company contributes to the society and to oneself! Firstly, the company is carrying on this soap making technique to younger generations. I find this very good! Secondly, I am very sensitive about what to use on my body and hair scalp so I can't use normal shampoo. Therefore; I find Aleppo soap very good for my skin and hair. Besides, when using this soap I consume less plastic bottles, which means I don't contribute for more plastic usage. Everyone knows that plastic is not good for neither you or the environment. Thirdly, people who have environmental awareness ( like me) are happy to have this opportunity to buy this soap. It makes their living less plastic and knowing you're not contributing to damage Mother earth is an awesome feeling! I can sleep well at night knowing that I'm trying to live sustainable for the sake of my children, grandchildren and for the future generations ahead. At least I know I'm trying, and those who are complaining about the greenhouse effects on the environment: please ask yourself first if you are trying to live sustainable instead of always complaining. Finally, to those who haven't tried Aleppo soap, please do! I promise you won't be disappointed. Good for you and for the environment 💕💃 Thanks for sharing this video and thanks for reading my post ( vomit bucket😝)

The simplest and cheapest way is to get some sand and filled it with water and put it on a bucket then attach it to the cutter. The most expensive way is welding a metal plate to the cutter and add a weight on it. It's more efficient if they do this. Is using a human the only way?

[@thedolcetto81]

​@@dk14929 Check out what saponification is. You would see that without an alkali (lye) you cannot make soap. You can make lye from wood fire ash too. Indeed it was common in the past to use ash to wash clothes.

[@violetholiday]

@@dk14929 they never said it was chemical free, lipids are chemicals and it's the other half of the soap.

[@dk14929]

@@violetholiday what does an "all natural process" mean then? What's an example of an unnatural process?

[@violetholiday]

@@dk14929 it means it's a buzzword soap making is ancient, but it has always contained lye and lipids. Lye is a base that reacts to the fats (lipids) and through saponification makes soap. Plastic synthesis could be an example of an "unnatural process" if you subscribe to the idea of natural and unnatural products.

[@koogle612]

Ive just begun trying out soap making. This (essentially) was my 1st recipe. I made a lard soap - bare bones recipe to use in a saddle soap recipe that came out really nicely. The olive oil soap was the most interesting to me for a few reasons - its ancient & its such a pure thing. There are many very contrived recipes with 6 different added scents & all of these elaborate color schemes but for cryin out loud its soap. Of the 6 types of soap Ive now made the olive oil 1 (once fully cured) is my favorite. I was surprised by the lather after 4 weeks of drying. It was quite a lot better than when it was fresh. I used a 2 or 3% addition of orange oil (% based on wt of oils in recipe) but having seen the addition of laurel oil (bay laurel) I would like to try that since I was taught how to use bay laurel here locally in N Cal for its use in boat building - at higher elevations it has the ability to fight infestation by bugs & its naturally curving main trunk is perfect for keels on boats. Its called pepperwood here & we made tool handles with it in a boat building class. It grows all over here. ANYWAY I think it would be a very nice compliment as a scent oil added to this purist recipe.
