- Can you cure your soaps in just 48 hrs? Should you use soap after just 48 hours? In this quick video, i take a look at whether the claim a creator made that she cured her soaps in just 48 hours was true and what the difference between saponification and cure actually is.

As a soap maker, I personally use a water discount (less water that needs to evaporate) also cure in a space that has fans and a great dehumidifier
This editing is amazing! You are so underrated and deserve to have at least a million subscribers
Thank you for making this video. I discovered the video you reference (I think ) earlier today and I was like… everyone knows it’s safe after 48 hours.. that doesn’t mean it will LAST. They also claim to share a recipe and then just pushed you to buy their premixed oils and other products… tsk tsk.
Thank you so much for explain the differents, ( ready to use after 48 hours and cure for weeks ) in a clear and straight way.
Wishes from Rome/ Italy
Thank you so much
Thanks for breaking it down! My go-to is a 15% water discount, and that does help shorten curing time, but I still usually cure a full 4 weeks for a more long-lasting bar.
Thank you! I have been telling ppl this for some time now, some want bars on short turnaround with specific scents/colors, I warn them that the durability won't be optimal for 3ish weeks, but I make sailor's soap, so it feels really solid and is litmus-tested safe prior to me letting it go, and i let them know it's ready to use. I've had some tell me they've been warned against using it before a month has passed because it isn't safe, when i have personally tested them myself and am aware of the science. I prefer personally to let mine sit for 21 days, then the bars are wonderfully durable, almost supernaturally so, as far as bar soap goes. Lol. Love the video, new subscriber here for sure!
By the way your stache is fricken magnificent!! Love your channel and your creativity and you also have mad editing skills, I can't believe you don't have more subscribers.
As a soapmaker I appreciate you myth busting this one for people, I believe I saw the same video and was pretty unimpressed by the way it was presented tbh. Quite dishonest really.. but I'm sure they made a lot of money of it🤥
Great video. I’ve been looking the logic in their videos as well. Thank you for detail explanation.
Makesy right? It was VERY leading for sure
Yes, I thought the same. In order to buy their oil combo (coconut, palm n olive). I will just plug all three in soap calc n focus on harder bar. No matter what ingredients I use, 48hr bars leave my hands extra dry. Even the highest quality ingredients can not compete with time. Which is what’s needed to develop a mild less stripping bar.
I saw that video and the same thing came to my mind. New here. you had me within the first ten secs. 😍
OMG I learned what I have been looking for, thanks so much your video is highly informative
I appreciate you sharing facts. I just subscribed.🙏🏽
first of all, thank you for the clarification and education about the different processes that cold process soap undergoes! Second of all, your mustache is fantastic. 😁
As a side note, and I preface this with an admission that I have no idea if this would work, but I wonder if someone has ever tried to drive off water to cure soaps in a similar way to how making dried fruit or meats is done. Would putting a saponified bar of soap in a dehydrator cure a bar of soap more quickly? or would it ruin the bar?
🤔
I think a dehumidifier would be a safer option.
I personally use a bar after 2 days, no issues, but I don't sell them for a few weeks.
Soapers with real information dont stand much of a chance against the "know-it-alls" in this arena. keep up your good work..quiet aciever, can only try, cant do more than that...😊 cut and paste soap making, not a lot of credibility..wash and repeat until it becomes reality...
Hi, I'm new into the soap making world and recently discovered the extended soap drying process. I was curious if you had any experience with using dehydration cabinets that are used in restaurants etc...? If the goal is to extract water from the soap I would think this would be an ideal way to reduce the time of curing. I understand the cost but if you are looking at it from a business perspective then "time is money" completly applies here but having never done this I wasn't sure the pro's/con's. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Loved your info session 🙏🙏thank you
Are you kidding me? I live in the Deep South of the USA. Have you ever experienced awful humidity? I HAVE TO cure my soaps. I would be absolutely DEVIOUS to give my soaps to people after 48 hours. He is right in his opinion of wanting them to be as hard as possible. Not to mention, safety and making sure we don’t have orange spots out of nowhere. I had one bar (only one, thank the universe) that developed the dreaded orange spots after about 5 weeks. Now, if I had assumed they were ok? That would have been a disaster!! That was 3 years ago and I will never forget it. So, cure your soaps. 😂
Hey, this is a lot of good information. I really dislike having the music in between you talking. It’s very annoying. Please don’t do this in future videos. Thank you.
But what about the mystical crystals that are supposed to keep forming during cure? I haven’t been able to get an absolute answer on this. Most makers insist this occurs.
From the science books and papers i have read the crystalline structure will form when it cools. once cold and saponified i believe removing the water during cure is most likely, i have set aside soap in vacuum packed portions - if the crystalline structure happened the soap left out should be as hard as the soap kept away from air if crystals kept forming a harder structure, but the soap is still pliable that has been vacuum sealed, and the water driven soap is hard.
@@QueerBullSoap that makes more sense and thank you for answering!
So just curious but if curring is removing water from the soap couldn't you put the soap in a dehydrator to cure it faster?
I haven’t tried this personally - but accounts I have read and seen say this causes a softer soap. I don’t know the science behind this. A good airflow across soaps and allowing a natural cure seems to be a better option in my opinion
@QueerBullSoap lol I tried it. It turned your soap into a ball of silly putty
Thank you!!!
Love you!!❤
A hypothetical:
could you potentially cure your soap faster with silica packets or something of that general idea or would that cause the soap to dry too quickly and possibly lessen overall quality?
Silica packets require a sealed environment - the better option is to create a good airflow around the soaps which will help them to cure faster.
Thank you for the information. Very useful 👌
Thank you for this 🙏🏾
No problem 😊
Hi. I liked your video. Thank u for sharing the recipe 🙂. Unfortunately, avocado & babassu oils r not available in my country. If I try to order from abroad it wud be too costly plus shipping. What to do? I want to try your recipe
Let me caveat first that any oil changes in a recipe need to be run through a soap calculator - but if you are happy to use palm oil, you can substitute palm oil for babassu or you can swap cocoa butter or shea butter instead of babassu but you will get a slightly harder creamier bar. As for avocado you can swap that out for olive oil or if you can get it rice bran oil or sweet almond oil are also good.
I use water discount for my soap. So my soap is hard enough after 1 week of curing. Just calculate the lye amount using Soap Calculator & I just times the lye amount with 1.5x to get the amount for water to use in my soap recipe.
Try weighing it every week until the weight stops fluctuating and test the bar again you will find that the bubble and lather changes for the better and the bar will last longer vs a fresh bar
@@QueerBullSoap thanks for that tips.
clear as day
Could you put soap in a dehydrator?
As I don’t own a dehydrator I can’t confirm this but my understanding this leads to a soft with low longevity. The one option most soapers will return to is a natural cure with good airflow.
Very informative video
I saw th3 video too and i was like what?? Am new to CP Soap, so i asked the question on our FB page that i joined and i see that is not ,thanks for let us know the truth
There is a lot of “opinions” out there that aren’t always substantiated - so I like to test these and no do have a cure video in progress so I’ll bet that put asap to show how cure works with actual numbers across 12-18 weeks of cure
How long do your bars last in the shower?
It all depends on the recipe - but with two of us using the bars a softer bar will last around 2-2.5 weeks with some of the harder bars lasting anywhere for 3-4 weeks.
A great tip to extend the longevity of a bar is to cut it in half keep one half wrapped up and in the cupboard and use the other half - this will help extend the life of your handmade bar soap.
Ohh! That’s a good idea. I made some soap and it only lasted 2.5 weeks I thought I made it wrong or something! Thank u
@@Stamada2 try adding some more hard oils and butters to your recipe - also adding salt will create an extra hard bar that can last longer and is super moisturising
