Choosing Oils for Soap Making: Oil types and fatty acids, balancing recipes and Soapcalc explained 🧐
I love this video, Elly is so honest, amazing!!!
Thanks so much you are God sent i love dear
May God almighty bless for this explanation you are the best thanks alot
I got some flattish amazon boxes that can hold a mold. So I line the box with newspaper to catch any spills, put the mold in and fill. Then I can close the box without worrying if anything will touch it and cover it if I want more insulation.
Thank you for sharing such great tips and tricks! You do the best job at explaining why things work the way that they do. I am brand new to soap making. I have rectangle molds that fit inside wood frames. My first batch had a gel center ring. My 2nd batch was a complete disaster. I used too much water. It was wet and super soft. I did a rebatch, but it is still soft. I don't know how to fix it. The 3rd batch I placed inside a warmed oven, but it still has the gel center ring. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it gel completely? I love the colors of the outer loaf of soap. I would like for them to have the same pretty colors inside too. Thank you! Have a blessed day. Jackie in USA
Hey Jackie, maybe try using warmer ingredients? Or wrap in a woolen blanket, or something else really warm?
I'm a beginner,can I use not refined soybean oil instead of olive oil?
I'm not sure of the fatty acid profile of soybean oil, but it's probably close. I would run it through a soap calculator just to check the best lye mount. I have videos that teach how to do that :)
I enjoy all your videos and really appreciate the details.
Who knew soap making was so complicated 😢😂😂😂
Hi, can I use the soap calc for my recipes that I create in the UK?
Yes of course, I can't see why not.
Great video Elly! Nicely explained without complicating it. Hope to see more videos from you soon 😊 - Marcie
Thanks Marcie, the next one is coming this week :)
Well, I am very grateful as a beginner. Thank you
Hello Elly, I made this and its perfect. Everyone at home loved it. 1 concern though? Olive is pretty expensive, can Pomace olive oil alter it? Thanks in advance!!!
Yes olive oil has really increased in price since I made this video. Pomace might not work out as well. Best to check out this video and formulate a new recipe with oils you can more easily access czcams.com/video/dBPmh4UpoHk/video.html
Can you use the coconut oil from supermarket
Yeah sure
How does this recipe compare in concentration to a liquid soap like Dr. Broners? I have a lot of recipes that call for an amount of Dr. Broners soap and am wondering if I would use the same amount of a home-made castile soap like this
Dr Bronners is made with a lot of coconut and palm oil, plus other oils. This is a milder soap but similar.
Hi, people say using paper for line the wooden soap mold will absorb the oil from soap,, means the super fat will decrease What do you think about it? Does your paper not absort oil? Im here trying to figure what kind of paper not absort
This paper is non-stick baking paper, also called parchment paper. It doesn't absorb liquid.
Love your attitude and the sharing of the way you mix and bake. So helpful, I've made your recipe without masuring. Just did it by the feel of the dough consistency. Added a few tablespoons caraway seeds and molasses. Stuck the pan inside a Dutch Oven. Such a great bread. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely. That's a great way to make bread. I still do it that way too when I feel like it.
A very good explanation, thanks!
Bonjour madame, je vous remercies beaucoup pour le partage de votre recette de lessive. Elle à l'air super. Rosalie
I am a beginner, i made one batch and used the combination of essential oil and after 6week of curing time, when i used it, fragrance vanished, it has a very-very less smell. Is there any way to keep the fragrance intact for longer period
The trick is using the right combination of EO's and using enough. This video might assist czcams.com/video/JkcjC3wV0ZA/video.html
Lately I just use the normal natural color and another color . It’s to much work and the clean up is much better. I pour the color into the natural batch and then just pour it into the mold. I’m retired soap business owner and now I make soap for family, friends, neighbors and old loyal customers that keep returning. I only use more colors if it’s a special big order. I don’t do lotions, bath bombs, shower steamers, wax melts, body sprays, deodorants anymore. To much work and to many labels. Sometimes I don’t even wrap the soaps. I put them in a bag and hand them over. So, without all the fancy stuff I did as a business owner I can now relax knowing that they love my soaps more than how they look.

@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I have exciting news…I’ve finally made my first batch of soap!! 🧼🫧🫧It’s tucked into its Esky bed can’t wait to check it out! Due to check it and cut it tomorrow night 😃 👀👀❤ 🥳🥳 Thank you and everyone soooo much for your support and positivity 💕
I'm so happy for you Nicole, did you know that without you I probably would not have been inspired to make this video! I feel so satisfied, mission accomplished. Can't wait to hear how it goes when you try it :)

Hi, people say using paper for line the wooden soap mold will absorb the oil from soap,, means the super fat will decrease What do you think about it?
Thank You!! I’m excited to start making soap
They actually look amazing.. earthy and the texture on the top is eye gasmic tbh
Please help do u have to use distilled water
No, I use filtered tap water.
Ellys are you using a plastic or glass measuring cup for you lye solution?
PP plastic is best!
Wow! Thank you so much for this easy to follow and inspiring video!! ❤❤ I've been putting off my first attempt at soap making because of lack of knowledge and confidence. That has all gone now thanks to your great videos. I can't wait to get started!! 😀😀😀
Thank you for teaching us this method with the 25% super-fat❤❤
Please, is the soap for laundry or bathing?
Best for bathing, but you could use it for handwashing laundry.
Sorry it sent too soon. I use it for bathing and it’s non drying. Love this recipe !!!
You have the best soap making channel that exists. I am about to embark on the journey, and will try to make my own soap. Thank you!
Lovely, thank you. Have fun :)
This might be a stupid question but, does a soap with organic food puree like that goes bad, or attracts bacteria?
No, the high pH and cooking process gives it a better shelf life. This soap lasted well for a long time!
Very helpful Elly,I can not Thank you enough❤God bless🙏
You're welcome Jeanette :)
Thank you!! So motivating in the way you deliver the instructions.. AND definitely love you “dorky” ness 😂
Haha thanks. I actually love being a soap dork 😂
Don’t they use preservative in soap
Not in cold processed bar soaps. Liquid soaps do sometimes.
Thank you so much .. please how do I add actives to the soap and herbs
Please check out my many other videos for ideas :)
I am so grateful to you and can’t thank you enough
Happy to help
Thanks for sharing. You have a lovely voice and face expressions. ❤ 🌟 You shine ✨
Thank you!! 😊
Quick question, I think you said 1/3 cup of soap per small load increments… so like an extra large load would be 1 cup + 1/3 cup ? Right? Just making sure 😅… also, how much vinegar do you use depending on each size of the load ?
It depends on your water, machine etc. You may have to experiment. My front loading washer has 7kg capacity and I use about a third of a cup. I mix my vinegar 50-50 with water and fill the fabric softener compartment to the line.
Is the sodium hydroxide 100% or can it be 96% pure? Just want to make sure my soap will be good.
Most sodium hydroxide is about 98% pure according to the label.
MashALLAH really nice love ❤️ form Pakistan 🇵🇰
Elly, you are a gifted teacher. Thank you 😊
Thank you
Hi Elly. In my country, I cant buy ricebran oil, what would be a good substitute? Thanks in advance.
Olive oil is a great sub for RBO
Just made this recipe as my first soap ever 🎉🎉🎉 I chose it since I dont have a stick blender, but it still looked exactly right. I cant wait to see how it turns out!!!
Oh yay! Well done.
Thankyou elly lovely video xx
Thanks Lynn :)
