- How to make Hot Process soap with Bonnie G from www.GoodEarthSp...
Recipe:
25.6oz Olive Oil (I am using extra virgin but you may use pomace olive oil or another grade of olive oil. Be sure it is not an olive/canola blend as this will change the lye required.)
6.4oz Coconut Oil
11oz Distilled Water
4.4oz Lye, 99% pure
1oz Mango butter
1.5oz fragrance and/or essential (blend)
3ml diluted lab color (optional)
After the soap is cut, allow it to air out for a few days. Hot process soap does not require several weeks of cure time like cold process.

I have done nothing but Hot Process(HP) so far but also fairly new to the whole process of making soap.Hope I can clear up some newbie questions because I had them myself.Once you have your oils melted( I use my high setting throughout)pour in the lye mixture with the oils.Get your stick blender and start mixing.You will mix then stir mix then stir and so on.What to look for = like vanilla pudding.When you pick up the blender and you can see what drips still standing on top that is trace,you are ready to let it cook.Put the lid on,don't go far or leave unattended.When you see the bubbling around the edges you are on your way.It will look like it is folding to the center with it swelling.Put your index fingers together with your thumbs(right index to left index,left thumb to right thumb)and that is the amount of center with no signs of bubbling but the edges like I said will be swelling.Now take a spoon or spatula and fold it over and over,stirring and mixing,then let it cook some more until it swells again.Stir it back down again.The longer it is in the crock pot the quicker it will swell with each stir down.I have never done this less than four times,sometimes 5 or six stir downs.It will truly start look like vasaline when you stir it.When you see vasiline look,stir it and let it swell one more time and then it will be done.Add your super fat (if you want to use one don't have to)and your fragrance,Now is the time for any oatmeal or dried herbs you might be using.Pour into your mold and voila you have done it!!! Lets say you made your soap in the morning early.You can cut it after dinner if it feels hard with no indent.If you make it in the evening,cut it in the next morning.It will be fine to use for you,but just so it gets hard give it a day or two sliced up to get hard.I always scrape out the crock pot good and squish that in my hand and make a soap ball for my own use.Use a few scraps under warm water and wash your hands.You will be so happy when you see those bubbles.The oil and lye together cancels out any harm at all.You are safe to use it.Hope this helps you hot process want to be's.I love HP.
awesome comment
Pat Lambert I saw somewhere on here where they said she kept her crock pot on low. ???
How long does this take altogether?
Thank you for the break down! Amazing!
Pat Lambert great comment!! Thanks for sharing!! I’m inspired by her video and your comment made me feel safer and not afraid to try it out!! Thanks!! 🙏
I have watched a gazillion videos on soap making, but none were as good as yours......great job!
I watched this video like 20 times...I used a soap calculator and my own recipe and now my house smells like orange blossoms and patchouli----THANKS!!!
I want to take the time to Thank You!! I had been looking over many soap videos about hot processing and cold pressed soap, but yours was the one I finally decided to try, and with much success ( I am new) I am so happy with how my soap turned out. Just like yours, only with tea tree oil. There was a moment when I thought I failed, that was when the vaseline stage was very soupy and loose looking, but I stirred vigorously and voila. I had a premium soap batch. I used Pomace. Thanks again your information was most helpful.
Nice, I want to make mine with tea tree too
I have to make soap for my chem lab in a couple days, and all the teacher is giving us is the lye. She wants us too research the process and get the rest of the ingredients ourselves and make it without her instruction or help, so this video is immensely helpful. Of course I will need to proportionally scale down the ingredients and use a beaker with a hot plate instead of a crockpot, but still. Knowing the process helps
I making hot process soap for the first time today. I bought some fun christmas silicone molds and the cold process method wouldnt be done in time for Christmas. Very informative, thank you!!
@@christabelmateta They turned out good! They arent as smooth as the cold process soap bars but since they were in christmas tree shapes with loose leaf tea and pine needles etc they were cute little rugged bars.
Your videos are the best I have seen, and being a new soapmaker I have seen a lot of them! You take the time to explain everything in detail Your camera work is excellent, your voice is easily heard and you make is uncomplicated. Thank you so much for doing this for us newbies!
I love hot process soapmaking! I started less than a year ago (from watching CZcams videos and tutorials) with cold process. Then I found a small crock pot I never used and tried the hot process method. No soda ash, no color morphing and I love the almost immediate gratification. I don't sell the soap I make but I do gift it to appreciative friends, neighbors and family. I haven't purchased any soap for my family since I became addicted to the process and made pretty bars to give out as favors for my daughters bridal shower (from my shower to yours...) . Thank you Bonnie for your calming and informative tutorial. I'm addicted!
Grace Jaskot. Hello, do you know long to cure hot process soap?
Hi Tawana - Hot process doesn't need any time to cure because it is cooked. It does lose water weight and gets harder the longer you leave it on a drying rack. You basically can use it as soon as it hardens. I usually wait about 2 weeks. Enjoy!
Excellent video! After all the years of of soap making I have never made hot process; lots of rebatch, but no hot process. Now I am going to have to give it a try. I love all your videos!
In all honesty, u r the first video to say its very much the same as cold press but u keep cooking, that's the part I didn't get, nice.
the spoon sound is really hard on my ears.. but really informative! thank you! might try it out next weekend!
araceli Diazibarra all I could think was how much the bottom of the crock pot was getting scratched up 😂
Yeah that's the only criticism I have of the video. I like when videos cancel out the stirring (or blender sounds too). Otherwise excellent video. Can't wait to make this soap.
Yes, it reached a full gel stage or what we refer to as "vaseline". I use a ph testing strip to determine when it is mild which can be done anytime after the gel stage. Yes, we can meet up and talk about soap. Should be fun.
Outstanding professionally done instructional video 👍🏼
What a GREAT video!!!! I have made 2 batches of Hot Process so far and I am still learning. This video answered a few questions that I have been curious about! Especially about colorant! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Again, what an AWESOME video!
Thank You for this video on Hot Process Soap Making. It was really very clear to understand you and your instructions. I believe I will be making this soap as my first attempt. I am reading various books to get the feel of making homemade soap and you just gave me courage to START!!! Thank You Again
Extra virgin olive oil is actually very good for the skin. It's extremely moisturizing and the molecules are so large that it can't clog up your pores. The old Italian actresses used to use pure extra virgin olive oil as a moisturizer for their faces and with great results.
Best displayed hot process soap tutorial I've found so far! Thanks so much!
I got chills every time the pot was scraped.
Sorry!
Lol. It's okay. I got over it because the video was pretty informative. 👍
Sometimes in videos its amplified. I do try to keep that in mind with blenders, crinkling, and sharp noises when making new videos.
Who else had the desire to eat the mango butter? I certainly did.
She has adorable voice :) I like when she talking :)
Hazardteam agree!! especially those promising undies fume.
I followed your recipe, and it came out great! It was easy! The only thing I added was a little goat's milk powder and vegetable glycerin. I used Brambleberry's Champagne scent. It smells like heaven! Thank you Bonnie! ^_^
I love the way you make soap, its so calming
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I’m making this on the weekend. Super excited to try. It will be my first attempt. Best video I’ve watched. 😇
I think this is the first soap making video I've watched where i'm not lost
Wow - fabulous video. Wanted to know the difference between making HP and CP, and this has been answered clearly and concisely. Thank you so much!
love how the soap turned out, so pretty
Great tips! Thanks for sharing. =)
what is the Temp of your Crock pot ? after you put the soap in mold , how long do you have to wait until you can take it out ? and also after you take it out ( how long to do you have to wait before you can wrap and place your label ( and ready to sell ) , Thankyou so much your video was very good did a nice job on showing the process cant wait to see more :O)
The best Hot processed soap video on CZcams! Thank you Bonnie!
Thanks Bonnie! I've only done cp and haven't ventured into the world of hp. I'm usually not fond of the look of hp soap, but yours turned out very pretty.
That's beautiful, it looks so nice and smooth. =)
I just found your channel and I enjoyed SOO much this video! I will watch all of them! I was looking for hot process tips as I just moved to Lima which has a very very humid climate especially because we are living very close to the beach. Now we are in autumn and winter is coming so the problem is not the hot weather but still the humidity. I understand now why HP was recommended to me, it is genious!! I just need to get a huge double boiler LOL many thanks again Bonnie!
Yes, you can color HP soap with mica. I usually use the crock pot on high but since it's not a temp, it controls wattage, it really doesn't matter. Low can get to the same temps as high with just a little more times. You should watch for signs that your soap is drying out or getting too hot and turn it up or down as needed.
I know this has been out here for a while but my daughter has a project to make soap for her Chemistry class and I stumbled upon this vid. This is a great vid but I'm curious about when you let your mixture cool down before you added the scents in. How cool does it need to be before you add them?
Thanks in advance.
Hey Bonnie! Great to see you back on youtube, we have missed you lots. Loved the hot process video. Looked awesome.
Bye for now,
Lori
I love your videos - I can't wait to try these. You are so clear in your instruction a natural teacher - thank you
I enjoy all your videos.
I’ve been making CP soap a few times and I’m going to try my hand at HP.
It appears you just push past trace and let it go through its phases and viola ! Soap 🌈
Hi! Just wanted to say thank you for the inspirational video for the hot process soap making!!
I myself only have done cold process for the past decade and was afraid to try out hot process. But looking at your video made me wanted to try out and I’m very inspired to make one!
Great point that I can be sure that the super fat oil remains unaltered, because I always wondered what happens to the cold process super fat, and I think essential oil scent would be more true to the original form as it would not be touching caustic lye as in cold process method. Thank you so much for sharing!! 🌺💕✨👍🏼
Another question: how long is this crockpot cooking process from beginning to end? Thanks :)
I have made the CP and want to try the hot process. Thanks for posting this it really explains the process well.
It did change. It goes quickly. Before it looked creamy like pudding and after it looked translucent like vaseline. If you are not sure and your soap bubbles up, then it has already gone through a gel stage. It will gel before it boils. :-) Hope that helps. Sometimes on camera it is not as easy to see compared to your own eyes.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I'm starting to get the soaping itch again and was thinking about trying some hot process.
I made a hot process soap last night and it went everywhere! Didnt have that happen last time I made a hot process but it was a smaller batch. I know what you mean by learn and take note lol. My crock pot is obviously not big enough for that size batch!
thanks for explaining this. i wish you would use a wooden spoon as those scraps put my nerves on edge
You can't use wood when soaping (hp or cp). The lye will eat thru the wood, causing it to possibly splinter off the spoon and into your soap
The fats added at the beginning are to react with the lye to make soap. The fats added after the gel stage (meaning that soap has already been made) will ensure that the second fats are for moisturizing purposes rather than cleansing.
I don't have the patience for this, I must stick with my cold process method, especially when I have twenty logs of soaps to make.
yeap i think cold process is easier but hot process is good if u dont wanna wait 6 weeks for the soap to cure 😉
mysister&i show what do you mean by cure ? Do you mean that you cant use the soap you made right away ? You gotta wait 6 weeks til you can use it ? Thanks for clarifying
with cold process yes not with this hot process, with this one you just wait a few days
I felt the same way before, but looking at some videos and especially hers, I think I’ll try out the hot process just to see and compare. I’ve never used hot process homemade soap before so this will be interesting! And no cure time and the process looks fun/interesting ;) Its nice to be able to super fat using some luxurious oil that I know that would never saponify and the essential oil scent would be true to the scent and remain unaltered than the cold process!!
Lauty Bend thank you for explaining this! I had no idea why anyone would choose the hot process over the cold!
Yes, I think it's better quality when you cure them because they are still full of moisture.
She uses a mixture of olive and coconut oil for this soap. The buttery stuff is the coconut oil, which is solid at room temperature. :)
If you didn't scorch the milk when mixing with lye then the off odor should cure out in a couple days. The color of milk soaps can get quite dark depending on how it went when you mixed the lye and milk. Just give the soap time and hope it smells better. There is probably nothing that can be done about the color.
The difference between EVOO and pomace is the amount of unsaponifiables which do not react with lye. Maybe that is what Evelyn Collins meant. Some soapers prefer pomace. I have used both extra virgin and regular cheap olive oil for making Castille soap.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Best one I have seen explaining the hot processes method.
Did you know, the best olive oil for soap is NOT extra virgin. It will work but takes longer to get to the end process. Olive oil is pressed several times and the first press is EVOO. The last press has more 'lye' in it and is used for animals and soap making. So for making soap you don't need to have an expensive extra virgin oil. Cheap olive oil works quicker and still gives a lovely bar of soap.
Lovely video soap looks great I have only started to make HP I am liking it better than the C.P. seems to keep the fragrance longer.
Nice video, You give such clear and precise guidance, very refreshing! Thank you
Hey Bonnie. Thanks for sharing. I made this soap last week and it's still soft. I used the exact recipe that you gave and not sure what is up. I'm still trying to master HP in a crockpot. I have been making CP soap for years. Not sure why I can't get the HP to work for me. Always turns out soft :(
I used the High setting. It's not so important which setting as crock pots work on watts not heat. Any setting will work as long as there is steady heat applied. Just monitor with a thermometer. High will get it done faster. I can usually do a batch of hot process soap in about an hour but it also depends on the recipe and other factors.
i like that crinkle cutter
Looks very interesting, beautiful soap... however, your background music is really creeping me out... got a chill watching this
Okay I made the soap without cutting back BUT I had no mango so I did substitute with sunflower... Poured in mold I will pray for a good bar of soap! Haha Ty!
were your results ok? I also don't have mango butter and our healthfood store is already closed for the day :/
THANK YOU O MERCIFUL ONE FOR MUTING THE HAND MIXER !!
I've never tried butterfat as a main ingredient but I have added heavy cream to soap with excellent results.
Not for pH but for moisture, yes or possibly. It depends on the water content of your soap.
شكرا كان الفيديو مفيدا جدا....أوضح وأحسن من أي دورة صابون دخلتها
Love,Love your Soaps and Your Videos! Thank You, Bonnie :)..................
Thanks. Bought a huge batch of handmade soaps at a craft fair and recently ran out. Can't find the vendor I bought the soaps from and wondering if I should start making my own soaps but it looks like it involved more equipment and know-how than I expected. Great videos though.
well explained and encouraging Thanks!
I have always made cold process soap. We had pots, spoons, and other equipment set aside as soap making only. I would like to know if I can use my stick blender and crook pot for food after making soap with them. Great instructions! Thank you.
You are a great teacher...i appreciate you
and I like the rise of nations sound effects !!! lol! I love this videooo
Thank you so much for sharing! Always love watching your videos and it helps me a lot!
Great tutorial, Bonnie, and lovely hot pricess soap, Linda
I really enjoyed this video but if you make another one please note the approximate amount of time between each phase in the crockpot.
Yay I missed you Bonnie! Hope things are looking up for you and your family :)
your videos are so relaxing
I used the High setting but it really doesn't matter. Either will get the job done. High will get it done faster.
Cool! I like her singing!
This is essential oil shop 👍👍👍
mix the lye outside on the back porch..once dissolve and cooled down, fumes are not that bad
The fumes are usually not bad and only last for a moment. If you have an exhaust fan you can use that. Be sure to use both hands if you are carrying lye and keep the lye away from animals and children if you leave it outside to cool.
Thank again for the video it was helpful ill watch it over and over again, i just want to know how long actually do you stir, my first batch looked lke Vaseline so i just let it sit for 24 hours then i cut it, but it was still kinda soft.
Thank you so much for this video! It was so helpful! You make look hot process soap making so easy! Thanks again!
You can add honey but you must use oil to make soap. Soap is made primarily of oils.
Yes, there is one in my "Make it" playlist or you can search from my channel page for "how to make shampoo" Good Luck!
Well done video presentation. I made this 2 days ago and the only thing different is I used a Pear FO from Brambleberry. It turned out exactly like your demo and smells wonderful. However the soap is very soft compared to my cold process soaps. Is this soap supposed to be a bit on the soft side? Thanks for all of your time!!
Yes, it will start out soft but cure time will harden it up.
Good Earth Spa Are you on facebook anywhere? Would love to share soaping ideas. I can't just post on youtube, but I post a reply to a statement. Grrrrrrrr
You explained very well everything. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤❤
Hot processed soap is so nice!
I enjoyed this video and found it the best one I've seen so far about soap making. I am trying my hand at soap making and will try cold press first. I have a few questions I'm hoping you can help me with:
First, since the chemical reaction changes the lye into soap. can I then use the slow cooker for food again or do I have to buy another one?
Second, I'm trying soap for the first time and using a tomato recipe for the anti-itch properties. It calls for 3-4 large, well pureed tomatoes and in parenthesis says 7.5 oz total liquid. It doesn't specify the ratio of distilled water to tomato puree. I'm using canned so I'm not sure how to figure this out, can you be of assistance?
Third, do I add this at trace or with the lye solution before adding to oils? Or is there a better time to get the tomato properties into the soap?
TYSM for any assistance you can offer.
I wouldn't use anything that has touched lye, on food surfaces. Keep everything separate.
Thanks for the video I enjoyed watching it, and you where very helpful.
Thanks for this video, I only use Essential Depot for My soaping. Nice Video Bonnie! Thx -Cynthia
HOw soon am I able to use the soap after I take it out of the mold?
If it is just for you, then do a Ph test and if it's between 8 - 10 you can use it right away. If you are selling it, then let it sit and cure for a few weeks in order to let the excess moisture evaporate out. Store it so that it has exposure to air and preferably away from direct light.
Thanks for the awesome video, and I loved the music!
Thanks for an informative video, great job! How long do you need to wait before you remove the soap from the mould and then how long before you can use it? I am new to soap making, so apologies if this is a silly question. Thank you ☺️ 👏🏽
Perfect video
Real nice video! Bonnie, Im going to try this, you make it look so easy. :)
I agree!
This is a really great made video! It also helped me by answering a question I had before. I didn't know soaps could be made using plant oils for the fats, I thought it always had to be lard you mixed with the lye. Could you do it with any fat or oil, do you think? Like, if you took the cream out of milk (basically pure fat) and used that or butter, do you think that would work too? Fascinating stuff
I loved this tutorial and all your video's!
what's with the music?? Great video though!!
IKR super creepy
Extremely detailed. Ty
Very informative video. Don't have the courage to try it yet though. ✌🏻❤
I can't wait to try and make me some
