- Hey guys, here's my 10 pound batch of Hot Process Soap. Pay attention so you learn from my mistakes lol. I learned a few things putting the video together...
1) making a big batch like this it's not wise to do a water discount. I would prefer more time to work on this soap without it being thick.
2) if you notice in the video after the first two volcanoes the batch separated, that's why I used the stick blender which not only made the batch come together it heated up the batch to where there were a ton of volcanoes.
2) as I stated in the video DO NOT use more than 144ozs oils in the 12 qt stock pot or your arm will fall off trying to make sure the soap doesn't spill over.
3) there is a video showing how I made the molds for a 9-10 pound batch.
144ozs is 9 pounds | 160ozs is 10 pound batch.
The Turmeric Facial Bar video was 144ozs of oils
4) sorry if I repeated myself on some things it's the teacher and the ADHD in me lol.
Enjoy the video. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe!

Ah bless lol. I had a right good laugh at your video because that was me Yesterday with a 8lb batch!
I used a steel big spoon to help the volcanoes go down and also my large spatula to incorporate cold air to cool it. I also have a very large bucket which I bought from the car shop used to clean your car so my volcanoes did not quite reach the top but boy the smell of ammonia nearly knocked me out even though it was only a honey and oatmeal soap...no milk.
Jan 😂😂😂😂
You are easy to listen to. You are real. Thank you.
Awwwwww thank you
I loved this video! That soap tried to get away from you but you whipped it into submission. You my dear are a true pro and an artisan!!! Keep doing what you do, I know I'll be watching. 😊
Maple Flagg it sure did lol.... awwwwww thank you :)
When you said you were going to stick blend again, I literally shouted NO at the screen. LOL Way to hang in there and great video.
lol thank you.
😂 i said no too...
An electric drill with the paint attachment will save you from the development of "Popeye Arms!"
Hippy Nerd I used both arms so Popeye arms is just fine I could use the exercise:)
Hi Donata,

My biggest batch is 3000 GR. oils for HP and 5000 for cold process . My current tools don't allow bigger than this . It was also funny . I liked the music . Way to go how you won the volcanos . waiting for more videos . Hila
הילה סבונים טבעיים Hila All Natural Soaps thank you :)
New subscriber here. I knew the minute you started talking that I was going to enjoy your videos! Very thorough and excellent info! Thank you for your knowledge!
Bewitchingbubblesandbeauty thank you 😊
You beat that volcano !!!! oh my gosh, I can so relate !
Ellen Black LMAAAOOO listennnn I don't think I ever prayed over a soap like that before.... it was crazy lol
Whew, I wouldn't have been able to do it! Shoulder issues and CT, I would have had to scoop some out with a bowl and sacrifice it to the soap gods. It was very entertaining and educational for those that don't know how HP soap volcanoes. But you handled it. LOL, great job.
Donata I so love watching you old videos. Please don't ever take them down ❤
😊❤️
wow, that's what I call a batch of soap. Nice video........thanks.
Love the color of your soap!
LIVE Classes with Kim from Essential-Soaps thank you 😊
Thank you so much for sharing. I think you're wonderful. I'd love to spend a day soaping and learning from you. Unfortunately, I live in Australia. One day I'll visit the U.S again and just tour soapmakers around the country. I'll be searching for more of your videos.
Jillian Cosgriff awwwwwww thank you 😊
@donataskinfood I’m laughing so much at you trying to control the volcano, because that was me yesterday and I could feel your despair as I was watching it. One of my batches yesterday volcanoes and overflowed before I had the chance to finish pouring my lye 😅 so worry not, you’re not alone. And kudos for holding that whipping, I don’t think my arms can go for that long.
Giovanna Dal Bom 😂😂😂😂😊
Love it!!!
This is sooo funy, I think I pipi. love this.
Wow. You really got a total workout. I've never heard of spinach soap. Going to your Facebook page soon. Peace
Yes I used Spinach when I used to make my melt and pours so I decided to add it in the hot process soap makes for a creamy bar.
Had yourself a small battle going on. lol, I've had this happen too. You won the war. Way to go!
Thank you lol
Scared me lol 😆 thank you for the video! I’m learning from these
🤣🤣
You inspire me. Thank you.
Thank you
Love that so amaZING
Great video, I love that you only use natural ingredients 🌿🌿
Thank you
Fascinating video. We kept checking our smoke alarms until we realized it was yours 🤪 Don’t know how you can stand that chirp.
Lmaaaaaaoooooo. I didn’t hear it during the video was too busy making soap
Great video
I would have been freaking out stirring like crazy!!! You go girl! Bigger Pot for Version 2.0? LOL.
레이나 ohhhhhh I have a bigger pot now 12qt to 22qt lol. Thank God 😂
I bet that batch came out awesome
You have inspired me to go bigger 😁
Awesome I always make my HP Soap in a Crock-Pot, so I appreciate this video! gonna buy me a stock pot to make 5 lbs and 10 lbs. I only makes 2 and 3 lbs.
It will be a game changer. Feels good not to be in the kitchen all the time :).
You beat the beast!!
Gr8 achievement congratulations 👏 🙌 I wished u luck from very beginning when I saw d size of ur pot ... either ur batch size needed to be half or pot size needed to be double to avoid any accidents ...
I admire ur valour in bringing this volcano 🌋 under submission .... bravo 👏 👏
You need a whisk attachment for your stick blender!! OMG, I would have to had put it in the bathtub and walked away. My arm would have fallen off. Beautiful soap.
Doris Ignatow 😂😂😂😂
Thank you Donata
Your beautiful and love the spinach idea
Thank you 😊
Hi, what do you think... Cooking with Induction cooker/stove vs slow cooker/crock pot?
Thank you! Very interesting video. Now I know what I should not do. I am a beginner, and want to try countertop hot process. But I must make sure to not overfill my pots. If I didn't see this video, I guess I would do exactly the same as you and have huge problems. But now I have learned.
But I came up with an idea. I have not tried that yet. But it should work, hopefully. I will do as follows:
Heat up the oils on the stove and at the same time heat up the stand mixer bowl in the oven. Dump the oils in the bowl, and lye, and stick blend to thick trace. Then, head over to the stand mixer and attach the bowl and the whisk attachment or maybe paddle attachment. And then just turn on the mixer as soon as the volcanoes have eruptions. The stand mixer can whip faster and better than I can, and it will be easier. And I guess the lowest speed for folding in ingredients maybe can be used. I mean, just have it on the lowest setting thru the whole process.
I have to use the stand mixer bowl anyway, that's the only thing I have that is big enough and have good handles. I have glass bowls, but they are not heat proof so they can crack, I am afraid. So that's how I thought, why just don't use the attachments to whisk it up as well? But if it is a good or bad idea, I don't know yet.
I will just as you only use all natural ingredients, that is the absolute best! And I have written a recipe I will try. I'm not totally sure about the recipe, but we have a limited supply of ingredients here in the arctic northern parts of Norway. So I have to use what I have available or easily can get in a hurry. So it will be an olive oil soap with some coconut oil for bubbles, and superfatted also with hard coconut oil. I hope that can make the soap more insoluble in water. But I have no idea if it will or not. Do you know if hard oils as superfat helps to prevent mushy soap? But I will also add salt and try to make sodium lactate from scratch by fermenting plain sugar. That should help with hardness too. I have no place to find stearic acid or any wax locally other than grate up a candle, and I don't want to do that since it maybe isn't skin safe. I can order online, of course, but I have not come so far yet.
Anyway, I was thinking about making an oatmeal and milk soap with rhubarb, orange zest and a touch of essential oil, maybe cypress, or maybe rosewood, or both. So nothing special. But we have rhubarb in abundance here. And a very acidic sort of rhubarb. And that's why I want to make hot process in the first place, to be able to add acidity. Because this soap I will make, is for myself and a body-and-hair shower soap. And I have read that the high PH in natural soap is not good for your hair. Hair needs more acidic soap. And I do think they are right. I have washed my hair many times with a cold process castille soap i made. And my hair, which is the worst and most difficult notorius nordic hair ever, became fluffy and full of volume. So far so nice, but for my hair to have volume and be almost thick, something has to be seriously wrong. So I believe that high PH can damage your hair in the long run. It must be slightly acidic. And that is not possible in cold process, it will destroy the lye. But perfectly possible in hot process. So HP it will be. And rhubarb is the most acidic ever. And this old style rhubarb in northern Norway is about twice or so as acidic as red rhubarb. Plus that rhubarb has a wonderful fresh, natural scent that's not overpowering in any way.
As normal I write toooo loooong comments with a bunch of crap. Well, well. But thank you for the video and for giving people ideas about great all natural soaps. Spinach, I actually have that, but have never ever thought about using it in soap, until now. The colour you get from spinach is just perfect! :-)
lol you are funny about saying you write lonnnng comments. Good luck let me know how it goes with your idea. Just have fun with trying different things and it will come together for you. :)
Hello mam lovely, great video. Which temperature should follow for this method
I do my hot process in a crocket pot. Is your batch cooking itself from where you heated the oils and the heat of the lye?
Yes high temp oils with high temp lye cooks on its own.
I would like to attempt the HP. When you do the HP, is it ready faster?
Krescia Young yes I use within 2 weeks
Please tell me, while you are stirring, is it still on the burner or is this heat coming from the lye? thank you I really enjoyed watching, and you were not alone with stressing about the overflow, I was too!
Lilly Day lol :).... the heat comes from the high temp lye and high temp oils
Hi, Nice video. I can't tell for sure, are you cooking it on the stove or what? It looks like it is actually on the counter.
icecreamlady driver it's on the counter
you can add yogurt to get it more fluid.
Robin Bird I didn't have any. I did put in another soap
isn't it possible once you have your soap at trace you can divide it into two containers so you don't need to worry about the volcanoes.
I havent ever made soap but brambleberry has some cool.as heck eyewear for soapin
Time to put new batteries in that fire detector.
Graham's Garden yes that was replaced in February lol
Yes replace batteries right away, smoke detectors saves lives, I'm living proof...
Love this video what is that beeping sound? I think you have to replace your fire alarm batteries
Thank you. Yes replaced 7 years ago.
Hahahahah new alarm I hope, now😅
How much lye in how much water did you use?
The way u stir lord u just like a baby u make it seem so hard
actually it's not hard. I didn't want it to spill over that's the difference lol
Thanks for sharing. Close call, there
Providence Soapery 62959 you’re welcome yes it was. :)
Eek, that volcano was scary! What if you had used a bigger pot? Also, would a thick plastic bucket be a better vessel because metal retains heat?
a bigger pot would have helped
What was your temperature for the oils when you took them off the stove.
LLV BEAUTY BAR 200
You betta go gurl HP is not easy ,,,,I hope you changed that battery on the fire alarm …..
I have not seen this method before and I am kinda new at this. What makes it keep rising where it isn't even on a burner?
icecreamlady driver it's called counter top hot process high temperature soap making. The lye and oils are really hot. My oils are about 200 degrees and the lye water is about 190-195 degrees. The high temperature causes the soap to continue to cook without it being on the stove or in a crock pot. If you are new to soaping I suggest you really learn the low temperature really well before trying this. This process is extremely fast so if you don't know what to do fast enough the soap will literally be all over the floor.
Thank you so much for the explanation.
you are welcome.
Girl, you had me cracking up talking about your arm falling off. I know it wasn't funny at the time but hey, you learned what not to do next time.
LOL I sure did. Always use a much bigger pot!
Is there a way for me to make the soaps available in a week doing the same process. I'm a beginner.
As a beginner I would recommend you personally test your soaps and see the timeframe, every recipe is different so I cant say.
Thank you so much
Go to Lowes and go get safety glasses or a clear face shield. They are relatively cheap.
" LOVE YOUR MUSIC " YOU ARE A NATURAL TEACHER
GLORIA C. MILIAN thank you :). Each is about 3.5-4oz and I sell for $8. My prices range from $8-$10 depending on the ingredients and essential oil I use.
GLORIA C. MILIAN I use powder form cause I add at the end.
I had that problem with a 4lb batch of SBHP in a 8qt pot! I have a few more gray hairs after that one!
but wth is that annoying chirp/screech noise? 😫
@Veronica Vatter
The chirping sound is her Fire Alarm letting her know it has a low battery and needs to be changed.
Do you sell molds
Please mention the recipie in the description box, it would be so so helpful to get the measurements clearly and then watching you to applying the techniques.
Please mention the recipie 😔
Hi I don’t share my recipes :)
CZcams is a platform where you share your knowledge for the sake of others learning who want to be helped and looking forward for a guide,
Completely your own choice anyways.
Thanks!
what fragrance did you use?
Robin Bird I use essential oils.
Donata Skinfood I wanted to know what green soap smells like! I'm thinking rosemary and thyme
Robin Bird I used Lemongrass
Robin Bird lemongrass essential oil
Hi! love your videos. I am not sure, but I think you need a battery in your smoke detector
Shanna Cosper lol thank you. You are right and I changed it today. It's after I realized that the beeping noise was in the video... probably in more then one video. Sorry :(
Donata Skinfood no worries. I kept thinking, I have heard that sound before and realized what it was.
you need a much longer whisk
Is that beeping in all of her videos?
beadladee you can check for yourself and select the video you want to watch.
I think I will. I like your videos. I wish you would upload the lye aluminum video. Please!
Bare feet?? Ouch!...😮
seashorecanadian never bare feet in the house.
Just a hint: Using a hand fan would help to bring the soap down when you are stirring.
Adelinn Mayberry oh wow good to know. Thx u :)
Donata Skinfood What's a hand fan?
you know the fan like the one you have in church. Thats the best. Or I guess you could set a small electric fan to blow into the pot. Let me know if either works.
Thank you :)
Girl! You need to practice what you are preachin'! I see those toes!
I normally turn off the music videos! Or turn off the music! Please ditch the music! You don't need it!
Next time sit your pot in the sink! With the drain in! Less dangerous!
Hippy Nerd yup I said that in one of my videos I don't cover my arms or feet as I should... no hiding that. I love music so I'm glad you turned off the volume. All my videos will have music... heads up.
Sink!!!! Brilliant suggestion
