I love so very much how you show the simplicity of a plain soap. My recipe, learned in the 1950's is even simpler. And my grandma that taught me was even simpler still. Yes, the beautiful, scented, colored and molded soaps I see so many of are lovely, but most of the time I just want a good, cheap, basic soap.

Very cool! I save all the fat from cooking ground beef and purify it. It’s great for baking, but soap is what I wanted to do when I first started keeping it. This is a nice and simple start.

Does it dry your skin after using it?

Can I use oven insted of waiting 6 weeks???
@NewEnglandHomebody6 ай бұрын
This method used a cold process, so no. The soap needs that time to saponify. This is a lye soap and lye is a critical ingredient in the soap-making process. It reacts with oils during the saponification process to create soap and glycerin, changing the liquid oils (tallow) into a solid soap bar. 6 weeks is needed to complete this process. Thank you for watching!

@@ramonaesch7863 I’m not picky as long as it says 100% lye. The brand I used for the soap in this video was ‘ROOTO Household 100% Lye’ but I would use any lye brand from a hardware store.

U could add EOs for scent & possibly skin enhancements Like, lavender or tea tree or carrot seed - all 3 for diff things or combine EOs.
