Master batching your oil in soap making is preparing all of your oil needed for ten logs at one time then mix and pour off want you need per batch when your making one log. Not measuring 10 each oil out ten times, but one time. So your doing this ahead of time and then using your oil mixture as needed per batch. This is a time saving technique, to increase profit and to work more efficiently. This is why the first two videos that I did was about master batching.

I am so happy Katie mentioned you. This is awesome to watch
Yes I found you because Katie from Royalty Soaps mentioned you. Love all the videos. I have learned a lot.
You must be doing very well in selling soaps...bc I had to rewind the video to see that jackhammer of a stick blender...I didn't know they came that big...lol. niceeee
I love love love your videos! Thank you so very much doing these videos, its nice to watch genuine, awesome, beautiful people doing CZcams videos, I appreciate you
So glad to hear you are loving the videos!
Hi Joanna
Great video, I just discovered you From Katie at Royalty Soaps.
I found your youtube channel last weekend. I am in the process of putting together a master batch set-up and wanted to see what equipment other soap makers are using. I watched this video and then continued to watch them all over the next two days. I really enjoy all you have to share and look forward to more videos. Thank you so much
This is amazing...I always wondered how small businesses upscale their recipes & keep their masterbatched oils from solidifying. Those heat bands rock!
Is there no tilt lock on that tilting pot. Every time I see it move I freak out. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen. That pump on the coconut is way cool!
This is a game changer!!
You are awesome!
Great info. Thanks
I use soapers choice. They are a restaurant wholesale oil supply Co. I find them the cheapest of all. Plus great people to work with
Great video!
Thank you
On the subject of olive oil I am spoilt living in Spain 5 liters 15 euro and now and then they offer buy one second 5 liter half price. Xx
Thank you so much for posting this! I've learned so much!
It is my pleasure - I really enjoy making them!
Love your channel tumbs up to Royalty Soap for recommending you
Joanna your videos are so refreshing and informational -- thank you!
Found you through Katie and so happy I did. :-)
Sam's is where I get my OO. Found you trough Katie . I think you are my kinda gal!
It just makes so much sence when you have a recipe that works great for your base to scale up. Thank you for shareing another one for my great bussiness file. Xx
Every video is something new to absorb....
Simply Amazing!!! Thank you soooooo much for sharing! God bless you!
Wow! In awe, at all of your super-sized equipment! #SoapGoals
We are so blessed, thanks.
I stumbled upon your videos. You are so awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It’s truly enjoyable watching your vids
Welcome and thank you so much! So glad you're finding them valuable!
I have to figure out a system for this to work for me too. Love this time saver. I measure out 10 batches at a time still, LOL. Thanks Joanna my soapy sister! 🌹Jen
I love these videos. Thank you for making them. I am determined to be this successful :)
Tara Rutledge that is why I decided to make them I want all my peers that choose to make larger batches know how too.
I’m just starting out so thanks for sharing!
Pat Westmoreland your welcome, I wish I had this knowledge 10 years ago When I began. That’s why I am doing this it help soapers like you.
My pleasure, Pat! Let me know if I can be of help.
I love Costco Olive Oil. I used to use it when I had my clinical massage practice!
I do not have a Costco close by where I live now.
All the best with your business!
Great to meet you and to welcome you to the CZcams soaping community. Great tips and I love your warm and friendly delivery of the information. Well done
Thank you, Soapy Oaks Farm. I’m looking forward to sharing my love a passion for natural skincare.
Thank you so much for your tips! Makes everything easier and more organized! ❤
So glad to hear!
@@TheSoapGal I’ve been watching all your videos! I don’t know how I came across with your account, but I’m glad I did! Greetings from Portugal ❤️
Well as I said in the master-batch lye video, this is precisely what I needed to know before making anything. You even confirmed my suspicion you were using heat bands! For my scale, I had already purchased a round heat mat & temperature controller for another application, one less thing to add to the stack of stuff. Thank you so much, on to the slab video...
Would love to see a video on how to grew your businesses to the success it is now
I was planning on doing that theme after the foundations of up scaling to be able to do the work.
Great video! VERY HELPFUL and you are a natural in front of a camera.
You should see the blooper reels (coming soon....)
Very Very Informative. Keep Up The Great Work.👍
Cono Cono I will do my best to keep it coming.
Very informative... Thanks. I like the olive oil pomace from soaper's choice. Even though it's not the same as OO or EVOO... But it produced a goid bar nonetheless.
Thank you. Very helpful video. Looking forward to your other videos.
NYtalk60 your welcome want would you like to see
The Soap Gal after you've got your oils and lye set up, how to move efficiently so your soaping process moves quickly and saves you time. Therefore you get more done in a short amount of time.
Thank you.
I just made and posted a new video about that very topic! Take a look and let me know if you have any questions.
I found your channel about 3 years ago and your wisdom really helped me prior to starting my business. I am hoping that there will be more videos from you. You’re a delight.
Aw! Wow. You are the sweetest. This is why I do what I do!! Thanks for being a part of this community and I'll be launching new content soon!
Love your videos! I’m a newbie to soap making and hopefully I can make this as a full-time business. I only make small batches of soap.
You will grow!
I'm so glad that the Lord let me stumble upon your channel today. You are so great to watch. Thank you for being so helpful. I want to start a soap business in the near future, but I have to practice making soap and getting all of the processes together so that the consistency will be correct all of the time. THANKS AND KEEP BEING A GREAT SOAP AND CANDLE MAKER!!!
Hallelujah! You got this Missy!! So sorry for my delayed response - had to take a bit of a break and focus on the business. I'll be back soon! God bless you!!
New subie here! I found you because of Katie! Love your channel, already learning a lot! Can you do a video on Soapmaker 3? Hugz, Tree
I love your videos the have helped me so much🥰🥰 currently I am scaling up and looking to buy a scale. Which one would you recommend?
But thank you for this video
We buy our olive oil from Costco too. I've weighed all the prices on all online suppliers and they still come out cheaper.
One Blessed Acre I have done that too, crazy you would think purchasing a drum would be less expensive. But I recycle the olive oil jugs by putting my raw goats milk in them. They freeze very will.
Also how long can the lye solution and oils sit before they cant be used? How long if you do the master batch lye with goats milk? Thank you for the great videos, so glad i saw the recommendation of your vids from royalty soaps.
Great videos!!! How do you sanitize? Are you in your home or in a manufacturing plant? How did you go about setting all this up? Do you scrape the container to get the remaining oil out to ensure you have the exact amount in the recipe? Lots of questions.
Please can you drop a link to that red pump on your coconut oil drum and also a link for that awesome large scale on your countertop where you are weighing the oils into the 5 gallon bucket?
I’v enjoyed your videos very much. I think it would be best on your back if you got electric tables that you control with a foot petal. This way you can place your bulk oils with their bands in a barrel without having to do so much lifting. Then, you raise the table and leave it at normal height to dispense oils as you need to. Just a thought because you do such heavy lifting in all you do.
Great idea! Thank you for sharing :)
How much shea butter do you use?
Whats the most shea butter you would recommend to use in a recipe?
Is the coconut oil in the 50 gal barrel heated? Do you keep it heated at all times?
I think Cash and Carry is cheaper, but I don't believe they have them in Arizona (I live in Alaska but my husband is in Washington every other Saturday, so he picks it up for me then)
Sam's Club is a little cheaper by about $4.00 per jug.
Ingrid Kindred thank you I will check that out
I get OO at Wegman's grocery for $17/3L. Dunno if you'll have that there
Hi I am new to the world of making soap. I am in Toronto and is seeking help as to how to master this process. I would like to know how do i advertise my products. Thanks.
I have been researching rhe art of soap making for about 2 months now.....i have always wanted my own little business....i truly feel like this is the way to go......but since i will be new i was advised to start very slow and small....but halloween and xhristmas is around the corner....it would be a good time to sell......where should i attempt to sell for a small new soap business? Any advice would be so appreciated....i am a mom have been homeless living out of a hotel...finally i will have a place to live in about 2 weeks and i really really want to start this business...any advice?
I’d love to know how you clean your equipment. Do you have suggestions for a newby?
Lots and lots of hot soapy water! Dawn is your best friend!
I am new to soap making. I want to try this.
Have you tried it yet!? Look forward to hearing how it went.
@The Soap Gal It did not turn out too well. I will try again.
@@RED-cy7ig What Happened? I'm here to help you.
The soap turned out really hard and could not be cut into bars. It had to be broken apart. It still had good lather. I don't think the hard oils were melted well.
@@RED-cy7ig It sound like you did not stir the masterbatch of oils before use or you did not add enough extra water, this could also happen when your formula is Lye heavy. Let me know how it turns out next time. My favorite software to help formulate a master batch is Soapmaker 3.
Can you please recommend smaller scale master batch equipment? Something for lye and oils/butter.
Thanks for reaching out! How much soap are you looking to make at a time?
@@TheSoapGal 9-27 lbs at a time
I get my olive oil from bulk apothecary
What kind of scale do you use?
KD7000 Soap Making Scale :)
Where did you get the 'heat band'? I would love to be able to incorporate my palm shortening in my master batch but it's so thick! That band might solve my problems...
Lauren Dustin it would solve that problem. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, Arizona Soap Supply
Hi.. Why you use sodium lactate??
It helps produce a harder bar of soap. It also helps inhibit growth of microorganisms and regulate acidity.
Joanna could you please tell me the company where you bought the E.V.O. Coconut oil in the drum. I know your husband showed the label, unfortunately I can’t read the print. Thank you so much 😊❤️👍
steweythecatdog www.ciranda.com there organic food grade oil is the best price I have found. But they do have a 500 lb min. But think of shelf life and the over all savings.
Can we use sesame oil?
Yes but make sure you refer to Soap Maker 3 or some kind of calculating software to in case the sap factor is different because your lye ratios will change!
I always thought if I mix all my oils and then divide when I need them I won’t get the quanity of the specified oils for a batch, so I usually double my oils for a batch(s) n set aside.
As long as you stir the oil, it remains consistent throughout.
The Soap Gal
Do you have to use within a week or month when you master batch the oils?
LUXE Resa once your oils are completely combined they are good as long as there self life is. Just stir them each time you want to use them. Happy Soaping!
Hello Soap Gal!
Thank you for your video…I was wondering if I can’t get your opinion? I was wondering if you can suggest a big stock pot for masterbatching? I don’t have a studio. I will be using my home kitchen. If I work from my kitchen how many soaps do you think it is possible to make in a day? Is it possible to make about 500 batches a day? How long was that usually take you to do? How many do you usually make when you master batch? Sorry for all the questions. Thank you so much.
Instead of stock pot use a tumbler cariband - it’s not about batches a day but about how many bars you need and scale your recipe and mold to that. The masterbatch depends on how many I’m making for
Oils ratio is missing
Another great video but I have a question. Once you've mixed the oils, how do you know what percentage to use? If my recipe is 30% olive & coconut, 20% sunflower, 10% shea & 10% castor how am I getting the correct percentages of each oil once they are master batched? Thanks Soap Gal!
I had the same concern, but I super stir all my oils together and it works. I master batch olive coconut and castor and if I am going to add butter or other oils I add it to that base. I would not be able to do want I do with out soap maker 3 software!!
@@@TheSoapGal, Thanks, I'm always looking for information that will help me be a better more efficient soaper!
Sam’s Club has olive oil cheaper than Costco.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I don't use olive oil, so I can't say for sure but you might want to check out jedwards international. I can message you the link (don't want to get in trouble with YT lol)
How do you keep your coconut oil in liquid form ? I’m looking to scale up and am unsure how to heat my oils on a larger scale. Thanks!
Heat band
Why are you not verified with one of those little checks next to your videos?
Explain more please
@@TheSoapGal You know, like how Katie has a check near her name for all of her videos, verified; to mean it is actually the person doing the soaps/ videos, but then I saw another one of your videos saying you've only started making vids for 2 months, so maybe that's the reason, I'm not saying it's not you, but you're gonna become a very popular soaper added to a long list of soapers Congratulations!
Thank you Sandra I will look more in to how to prove it is me.
@@TheSoapGal Maybe, I'm not using the right words for the verification ( Check) it's to authenticate your videos so when someone watches your videos (The Soap Gal) they know that's it is actually (The Soap Gal) videos and not someone stealing your hard work. but ok look into it.
Quick question...why don't you masterbatch your shea butter along with your other oils & butters?
Just the Right Size my master batch oils are olive, coconut, castor that I use in every recipe then I add different butters or oils to customize my base oils for my customers recipes.
But you could add all in one drum, but I make so many recipes.
How do you calculate your percentages for your lye water then? Because each oil needs a different lye solution in my understanding??
jillsarcasmo I use soap maker 3 software and it does the math for me!
The volume on your videos is so poor. I have my volume all the way up and still can hardly hear
Sam's club has better price for Olive oil
Thanks for the tip!
Why do i find myself commenting out loud to the screen "oops you spilt some" "dont forget it was 24 pounds"
SERIOUSLY NOW - GET A DARN MICROPHONE
Am i stupid? Why are your coconut oils liquid?
c p it is one of my oil master batch. My extra liquid was the goats milk
@@TheSoapGal I mean, i gues you answered it in the video a little later... all coconut oil ive ever seen is solid and yours was liquid but i guess you said its heated. Is that correct? It would be solid if your drums werent warmed? Thanks so much! Enjoying your videos!
