In this video I share with you how to make cold process aloe vera soap with fresh + homemade aloe gel. Thank you for watching!
This aloe vera soap recipe uses a 6% superfat & 35% lye concentration. The lye amount has been adjusted for 2% citric acid.
Step by step:
Step 1 - make the aloe vera gel
Step 2 - make the natural green colorant
Step 3 - measure the oils
Step 4 - make the citric acid solution
Step 5 - prepare the essential oils
Step 6 - make the aloe vera lye solution
Step 7 - make the soap

🟢Citric acid information:
When citric acid and sodium hydroxide lye (NaOH) are combined, sodium citrate is created. Sodium citrate works as a chelator in soap.
A chelator traps metal ions such as calcium and magnesium that can be found in tap water.
These metal contaminants can cause rancidity and soap scum in handmade soap.
A chelator binds to these metals so that they can’t bind to the soap molecules. This way the soap won’t react with them and the soap's lather improves + shelf life increases.
Citric acid does not lower the pH of soap. Instead it consumes some of the lye and increases the superfat. Add 6 g extra lye for every 10 g of citric acid added to a soap recipe if you want to keep the superfat % at the same level.
How much citric acid should be added to soap?
Usage rate in bar soap is 1-2% of the oil weight.
How to use citric acid
Add citric acid to the distilled water and dissolve completely before adding the lye, or make a separate solution of citric acid and distilled water and add to the oils.

Good morning

[@conniecurry5640]

I'm getting your book, But I have a question, Am I ok with sending money from USA? Also does our money equal yours in Finland?

[@mulkelzaman4089]

Why you add ctric acid?

[@tellervo.]

@@conniecurry5640 Sorry for the late reply but yes that's ok! 20 euros is about 21 usd

[@primerpure8660]

I got interested into learning how to make soap recently to actually know what im using on my skin and I have to say that this is single handedly one of the most relaxing channels that I have encountered on KZbin ever, thank you for your work I hope that you keep growing!

[@tellervo.]

Thank you so much!

[@user-ry7hr4fj7v]

Lo nesecito que me lo pongan en castellano

[@lauracoggs2097]

Now I see why natural soaps are so expensive. It's work! Perfectly balanced.

[@thefamilyhubbyinasim]

I love videos without voice overs...the calm music does the magic for me ☺️

[@sammick4663]

The OSCARS award, this video deserves.

[@ttopcar]

OMG I would have a devil of a time getting the aloe from my plants! I have searched and searched easier ways of achieving this on YT....and now 2 years later I come across your video! Thank you so much for sharing your technique.

[@tellervo.]

This is a very easy way to extract the gel! (not that I came up with it hehe)

[@francopp1124]

What a sweet meditation to watch without words. I loved it!

[@tafsa8758]

I saw a lot of soaps processing but this one !!!! OMG simple easy way to make soaps thank you for sharing 🙏🏾 😊

[@IreneLoudou]

I think with this kind of videos (with no words) you can understand much more than when somebody is explaining all the time,plus it's so calming to watch with or without music. I loved it!!

[@mrstubingit2382]

I was so relaxed just watching your video. I love how you use a natural colourant for your soap. Made the Aloe Vera soap look good.

[@tellervo.]

So glad to hear that😊

[@yourguide3371]

Such a unique channel. I never knew such a thing existed. Making soaps of your own in this way. Soothing and relaxing video. Great content.

[@SereneWaves1111]

Thank you for making the video and sharing the recipe 🙏🏽 I appreciate the calm piano music but also the ASMR sounds of each step of the process ☺️ it’s a calming effect Oh and I just learned recently that dandelion plant (flower, leaves and root!) has great medicinal effects for our skin, liver, and more! Such a bonus 💚🤍😄🙏🏽

[@CarolinaGirlCreationZ]

This is sooo amazing! We get LOTS of dandelions in the spring and early summer here in southeastern NC in the states. The first time I learned that there were many benefits from this plant was about 2 years ago when I friend I met online, from Scotland, told me that the roots can be dried and used to make dandelion root tea/coffee! I know the flowers are beneficial too but never realized there is a way to use the leaves too! Next spring, I am going to stock up on all things Dandelion! I may even try to figure out how to grow a little dandelion garden. I just made my first ever batch of 100% coconut oil soap (25% super fat), and colored with Pink Brazilian Clay, which I've never used before but I'm LOVING the idea of completely natural soaps! So excited to see how they come out. Especially because it was the first time I ever hand mixed and didn't use an emulsion blender. I'm slow cooking dried Elderberries now to see what I can get in the form of color from them in my next batch of soap. (May make some syrup for immune boosting too if I have enough left!) Gorgeous soap as always!!! 🥰😍🥰 Edit: Can you please share a link to your glass bowl or similar? Google is only giving me options that have handles on them. #usaStuff I guess. Grr! Lol!

[@JitendraWagh73179]

Such a soothing video.. loved the whole process. It was like meditation 👍

[@sabaiwin1449]

Hello, I’m researching on soap making and came across your channel and let me just say…I’m loving it! I have always wanted to learn how to make soap 🧼 but felt intimidated by the whole process, however after watching you I feel confident I can give it a go! I’m on a journey of heal and healing my body and as well know our skin is the biggest organ we have so what better way to nourish our bodies then to make our own soaps! Do you have a recipe for rosemary soap 🧼? I recently started making rosemary tea to help with memory however rosemary is such a potent herb that it’s difficult for me to handle so I thought I make rosemary soap instead. Please let me know if you do have a recipe if not can you make a video on it please 🙏🏾.

I was given aloe leaves by a neighbor and came across your lovely video to learn how to use it in soap. I love using dandelion flowers in soap for eczema relief but never thought of using the greens for color. It makes such a beautiful green shade. Will the green fade over time? All of my natural green colors always fade. Thank you so much for sharing your method. Loved your video so much.
