Hi, I’m from south India, I’m so glad you made this soap. Thank you
"I couldn't resist😢" "I had to peek😢" Aren't we all like this😢😂😂😂😂
I don't think I'll ever fully learn that lesson 😂
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking 😆
I like the brown colour, it's quite lovely and golden brown. Beautiful gel btw! Thanks Elly and nice to see a video from you again xx
Thank you! 😊
I'm from South Africa, and I love all your videos. I have made some of your recipes and love them. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed this and my recipes.
This is a very cool soap. Love anything neem! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Thanks, Elly for the video 🩵🩷💚
you're welcome :)
YUM! I love Neem oil! Going to try this one. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! It's a goodie!
Love the look and description of your Neem soap Elly. Going to get the ingredients required and make it too. I also love your crocheted "warming" blanket. I have made dozens, everyone I gift them to feels the same! Thank you for another great video! 🐾🥰
Thanks Marion!
Elly, I was very happy about your neem soap tutorial because the materials used are all easy to access in tropical areas
I'm also happy to share the fact that I finally made my very first batch of Tea Tree oil,Grapeseed Oil,Chanca Piedra tea soap.The base oils were 80% Coconut Oil, 20% Shea Butter with 20% SF.The resulting soap was so nice I'm inlove with it. It's very soothing to the skin and lathers well.
Thank You Very much and may our Lord Jesus bless you always.
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you very much....its lovely to watch your simplicity of sharing the whole recipe, i have learnt so much from ur videos. Thanks again , hood bless u.
Hi Coach Elly…. Thanks….thanks…thanks….and thanks. I appreciate and love all your videos 😊
Brilliant! I wish I could smell through the screen, I love the clean smell of neem and eucalyptus too. I’m inspired to try this too, I am starting my soap making for gifting at family gatherings this winter ❤ thanks for the inspiration ❤
wonderful, thank you!
I love seeing tropical recipes too and no fear of coconut oil lol. I have one recipe that has 66% coconut and it's brilliant! And I have dry skin type and very sensitive to detergents etc. I use a 16% SF for it and it doesn't dry the skin at all, it's lovely.
That's great to hear. I was surprised by how lovely this soap was. I don't know if I'd go higher than 40% coconut oil personally, but this, with the mild palm oil and 10% SF was perfect.
O que é Sf? Bom dia rs

Elly I recently made this recipe, and I absolutely love it...next time I need to stick blend less.😅😅
Another great tutorial Elly, thank you. This soap does smell amazing and refreshingly uplifting with the other essential oils added.
Thank you Aannsha, for watching the video and for being a tester!
Olá, moro no Brasil, não entendo inglês mas tô amando seus vídeos e vou fazer um sabonete 🧼 obrigada
Was looking for a GREAT Neem oil soap recipe and your video popped up, the only video actually for Neem oil and I am so glad. Thank you for having such a great, no nonsense video, no music and loved the birds and relaxed environmental setting...made me wish I was there!!!
Thank you so much!
Hi Mrs. Elly, I love it, this gelled soap is truly beautiful. I had read before about the benefits of neem oil for hair, but I had never heard about benefits for skin, however it makes sense! It would have never crossed my mind about putting it in a soap bar. Also, other than one recipe for pure coconut oil soap, I don’t think I have any other soap recipe in my collection that doesn’t use any olive oil! This is fascinating. Thanks so much, you’re my #1 go-to for soap recipes and ideas; sending much love to you Down Under from Florida, USA.😊
Hi, and thank you! Yes, neem is very nice in soap and widely used in India as I said. I love to make recipes without olive oil occasionally, it's not widely available everywhere unfortunately!
I’ve just bought the neem oil, neem powder and the EOs to make this. I’m like you Elly, I’m a plain Jane and am looking to do soaps with clays and very simple things. The really bright micas as not really my thing. ❤
Hello mam!!
Seeing you making the soap after a very long time..
My next Soap making was of a neem soap, would love to try your recipe this time.. & India loves you too❤ 😍I'm your biggest fan from India ..
Thank you ❤
Oh hi Priya, thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this, and thank you for your patience! Enjoy the recipe 💗
Thanks so much. Wonderful video as always
Thank you!
Lol, Elly, once again you make me want to make soap!
😆 I'll get you there one day. This is a nice recipe. Fave of 2023!

I made neem dog soap today and your neem video pops up..wicked synchronisity..lol ❤

Neem soap looks very nice. Thanks for vedio. Writing from Bangladesh.
Thanks very much.
I am from India and I love Neem Soap. Thank you for sharing
Welcome!
Good morning. 😊 I love your videos and this Neem soap looks wonderful. You are the reason I am going to give soap making a crack because your teaching style is so calm and concise, the perfect combination for me...Plus you're an Aussie like me 😁 I too like the idea of plain Jane soaps. Question: Is the isopropyl alcohol 100% or do you dilute it, please?
Thank you for your wonderful videos and the gift of your superb teaching style.🙏❤️ I have become addicted to watching soap making videos....it is so calming 😅
Good morning, and thank you! So nice to hear your feedback, I hope you enjoy your first foray into soap making. Yes, the isopropyl alcohol is about 99% pure I think, I don't dilute it. Have fun :)
Thank u very much mam
This gives me hope. I heard Neem oil can really get a fast trace. I could probably try this recipe.
If you keep the temperatures relatively low (about body temp), and only use 10% neem oil as I did, you'll be fine!
Thank you.
Elly, you nailed it!!! This was the recipe I was waiting for a long time for our Dubai weather 😊 am definitely looking for making a non guyi soap - though I have tried all your recipes whether it makes the soap soft and disappear in a few days 😢 or stays hard and endures the weather. Thanks for sharing a beautiful soap recipe ❤
You're welcome!
Hi Elly.....I love using neem oil in all my soap....😊....... I guess it's just because of me being Indian and knowing the benefits of neem.....
using neem oil@ 10% in any recipe will give you a brown colour even if you don't use neem powder that's what I've experienced.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! I have made neem oil soap a few times before though and it wasn't dark brown like this. I even used more neem oil in my previous recipes. This is the first time I've used powder and first time it's gone dark brown, so I thought it was the powder (and it makes sense that it would). I'll have to try it without the powder now to see! Thanks for your input :)
Hi Elly, your absolutely right...... My neem oil soaps don't turn this dark brown. Actually love, how dark brown the soap turned out to be.o definitely it's the neem powder..... and for sure I'm going to use it in my next neem soap. Thanks for all your videos and for all your experiments to get to formulating great recipes. And for freely sharing them with us.
Thanks, it might be nice to try a swirled soap with the neem powder! Colour is great.
Hi Elly! Thank you for posting this video. I can't wait to make it. Could I use my harvested aloe Vera gel as my liquid with this recipe?
That handmade blanket you use to insulate the soap is absolutely gorgeous!
I love to knit and crochet, and I can see the craftsmanship there, very lovely and well made.
Thank you! My great aunt, now passed, made that for me. The colours are a bit random, she said she was using up her old yarn! 😄
Thank you for sharing. good information. India🤝
Lol at saving the stick blender & the "dent" when texturing the soap! Bet it would be a very nice soap to use! Kinds looks like chocolate when cutting it. Thanks for another Elly Video 😁😁🙏🙏
Oh thank you George! It's such a nice soap. I'm loving it. I am embracing my 'homemade' imperfections!! 😂😂🤣
Will definitely try to make it
Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤
I can't wait to try this recipe. Can you suggest any alternate essential oils than the one in the recipe.
Love from India🇮🇳
I’m with you, I love plain soap. The most I will do as to decorate the surface is to make a design within the surface, using a cake tester. Thus still leaving the surface relatively smooth, yet with an embossed design. Personally I think that those shmooshed-up tops would trap water in the hollows albeit they always look fun to do, appealing to the inner little girl 😊😊. Your Neem soap would be good for Pets too, methinks. 💗
Yes I think so too. Thanks Brigid :)
Hi Elly, thanks so much for this video. Great to see tropical ingredients too. I was wondering, do you have a recipe for dishwasher powder/soap/cleaner to wash dishes using a dishwasher? Would love to see a video for this.
Thanks Kirsty, no I don't have a video for that but there are quite a few out there already!
Really I loved how beautiful the bar is thank you madam lots of love and respect from india ❤️ madam .
Thank you so much 😊

I’m a new member to your community..from KERALA ,INDIA❤❤your videos are very informative nd interesting..thank you ❤

Got so inspired, that made this soap with a lil different recipe... i added olive oil and Mowrah butter along with coconut, neem and palm oil... I am from South India :) The soap batter thickened up on me but it remained manageable... you may check the shorts of the neem soap in making in my youtube channel 😊 will share the cuts shortly!
good evening Ellen. am writing from Cameroon
Hi, good day to you! I hope you enjoyed this video
Talking about lye, I have been making soap for well over 45 years and I have never had an incident until recently. I have always kept a spray bottle of vinegar close by when making soap because vinegar deactivates the lye but I happen to have my gallon bottle of vinegar out as well that day, and I don’t know what happened but I splashed soap into both of my eyes that I had just added the lye to, and so I immediately bent backwards over the sink and filled my eyes with vinegar. It wasn’t pleasant, but it stopped any damage, so I highly recommend keeping vinegar around when you’re making soap.! I did see the eye doctor, and he said if it wasn’t for the vinegar, I would’ve lost both eyes! Lesson learned never be confident when doing something dangerous!!
I'm sorry to hear about your eye, but glad it is ok! The MSDS for NaOH doesn't suggest vinegar, but rather lots of water then to the doctor! Personally, I would avoid it altogether by always wearing goggles. I never make soap without complete eye coverage over my glasses.
Hi Elly, I plan to make this tomorrow. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I have a nephew that suffers from eczema and I heard that been soap helps a great deal. How long did you cure this? Thanks again! Cannot wait to buy your soap recipe book!!!
Thanks! I started using it after a few weeks, but at least 4 is ideal I think.
Iam from India l watch the all videos really very useful for me
Thank you, so glad to hear
Please make video for papaya soap and how to choose a soap for different type of skin 😊
I don't recommend different soaps for different skin types. I think all soap for bathing should be gentle enough for any skin! I would use this method for papaya soap czcams.com/video/I_QU9N2bKmc/video.html
Lerrve the way your face brighten everytime you mentioned "southern india".i dunno for me your really love them...thank you so much for sharing your findings and knowledge
I do love Southern India. We had such an amazing three weeks all over many states while we were there in 2018. I really would love to go back :)
Omg THANK YOU!!! Purchased Neem oil but have been too scared to use it incorrectly! What would you suggest to use instead of palm oil or animal fat? Love everything you do!! 💜💜💜
Oh that's great Kelly! If you wanted to change from palm/tallow/lard for the palm oil portion, you'd have to recalculate a completely new recipe to pair with the 10% neem. You could use many different oils for the 60% portion, depends on what you have! These two videos will be useful:
Choosing Oils for Soap Making czcams.com/video/V-uDPifp3n0/video.html
How to Calculate Your Own Soap Recipes czcams.com/video/AqKxin0q1bM/video.html
Hi Elly, nice video... Just wanted to check with you, what temperature should the oil and Lye solutions be mixing them... In your video you dint mention the Lye solution temp
Around 40-45C is good, generally speaking.
Please make a video of baby soap
Love from india ❤
i have on my yt channel with breastmilk
I don't make baby soap, but any of my very gentle soap recipes without colour or fragrance might be suitable for use with young children. I would not use soap on newborn babies personally.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking okk mam..thanks
Hi Ellie, what size is the large plastic measuring container you use for all ingredients? I’m looking to order supplies and have a smaller cups but want to make sure I have one large container for mixing all ingredients that’s PP5 grade
I think it's 3 or 4 litres/quarts. Could be bigger.
What can be used as a substitute of Palm oil in this soap making process ?
Hi, can i change to senna powder and oil and do i need to do same modification on ingredient?
Hi, I've never used senna powder. I would check a soap calculator and see if you can recalculate the recipe. Senna oil most likely has a different fatty acid profile compared to neem oil, so will need a different lye amount.
You have such a lovely vibe. :) I wanted to ask you, my soaps are always quite runny when I mix the lye with oils. Even when I mix longer periods of time. I use usually around 38% lye concentration. Why aren't my mixtures getting thicker while mixing?
Perhaps your oils/lye are too cool?
Hi Elly mam, i request you to please formulate/ prepare ghee (clarified butter) soap
Hi Mrs. Elly, do you know, what is the difference between using regular eucalyptus essential oil versus “eucalyptus radiata” EO in cold process soap? Can I use either one in this recipe?
Eucalyptus Radiata is the botanical name for one type of eucalyptus tree - there are many! I like it because, to me, it smells the best :)
I realise that it doesn't matter the oil, neem doesn't reach trace fast.❤
I've only used 10% neem oil in this recipe, so it doesn't impact on the speed of trace. It was the relatively lower temperatures of my oils and lye that kept the trace slow.
I realized that just because the soap mass is dense and thick, it is not certain that it will be a hard soap, or that it will set the next day at all. And I don't understand why, but when I cook it, it doesn't gel for me, but it releases the water. It will be like dry cow's curd that has been soaked in water.😢
Love neem oil for it's skin properties!! Yes, has a rather awful smell and with essential or fragrance oil can be disguised mostly 😂❤ but it's worth it to use!! Thanks for the recipe!! Love your videos as always!! Have a wonderful week!
Thanks Jenia! Yes this is the best neem soap I've ever made. Previous ones didn't quite have the right balance. This one is perfect IMO 😊
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking ur very welcome!
Dear
Its superb to see that you use neemoil
I also want to ask why people add sodium silicate to make soap
Is it alright or is it harmful?
Thank you
Thank you. I don't know about sodium silicate. I've never used it!
Just to make it straight, Neem tree is also are abundantly available in southern part of Pakistan.
Neem is good for skin
U visit India
Thanks. I visited in 2018 and would love to again someday!
Hey Elly I have lot of butters sitting in my soaping station ,could we substitute palm oil with Shea Butter
Hi Joya, you'd have to recalculate the recipe I'm afraid.
Yeah that one would
Do you purchase any of your oils from the grocery store and if so which oils and butters?
Yes, sure do! Mostly olive oil, coconut oil and rice bran oil. Butters etc. from wholesale soap suppliers.
Love your videos. I'm from South Africa, was wondering if you might look into a Neem Soap for Dogs? I've read that Neem helps with ticks and skin irritation on pets and its non toxic.
I would use this recipe on my dog if I had one :) Maybe without the essential oils!
hello, can I use cold pressed neem oil ? Thank you ❤
Yes sure, that would be nice!
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thank you very much. This one is a little different, it is thicker, viscous and very green... I use it in my organic garden. I thought that maybe it doesn't saponify.🤔
Thank you very much, you are a wonderful person🌹
I use neem oil as a spray in my vegetable garden to kill bugs. I’m wondering if this would be a bug repellent soap?
Could be, but it doesn't stay on the skin for too long.
Yes! I learn the lesson the hard way " dont leave it too long😅 " i waited 24 hrs to cut 100% virgin coconut oil 😂 so hard to cut.thank you for reminding me.5 hrs is enough when you're located somewhere in Malaysia 😅
Well, location isn't really the issue, it's the oils! Saturated fats like coconut and palm saponify much harder and faster than unsaturated fats :)
I am from india
Could you please tell us how to make a glycerine soap.
It is very famous here ❤
What is the paper that you used in the mold?
It's non-stick baking paper :)
can we skip essential oil?
Yes, sure can

There is a link to that information on my website, in the description.
How do you get such beautiful unmolding and cutting in such short time. I made a pretty classic recipe and after 2 1/2 days in the mold it’s still soft and creamy in the middle why??
It really depends on the recipe. Some saponify faster than others: www.ellyseveryday.com/soap-making-faqs
Hi Ellie. Can you make this recipe HOT PROCESS method? Would the benefits be the same from the Neem Oil? Would you add the Neem Oil after the cook?
Yes you absolutely can! I think the benefits would be the same. CP soap gets pretty hot too through the gel phase. I'd just add the neem at the start with the other oils.
Our palm oil here is red is it the same as the palm oil you use in this recipe?
Can I use palm kernel oil in place of palm oil?
Thank you for sharing
Yes, you can use your lovely red palm oil! You can't interchange palm kernel oil for palm oil though. They are quite different. Check out hte palm oil videos (links in description).
@EllysEverydaySoapMaking One can also simply heat the red palm oil until it becomes brown,cool it and use
Dear Elly, can I use Shea butter in place of Palm oil ,and Please Can you make Rice Soap Bar Shampoo,and you uses Caustic Soda ,Is it Safe For Skin Hands Body and Face ??? Thanks 😊 Regards ❤️🌹🧼
Thanks for your suggestion, no unfortunately you can't replace palm oil with shea butter in this recipe. Check out this resource: www.ellyseveryday.com/soap-making-faqs
What's the correct pH for this?
Elly , do you have a tallow or lard soap recipe? I can’t find it if you do could you put a link in this comment if you have it there thank you if you have not made any, could you please do a recipe with either of those ingredients?
Hi, not a pure tallow/lard recipe, no, but I have a couple of recipes with tallow in them. This one springs to mind czcams.com/video/dWd3ARyGMhs/video.html

Lye solution is caustic. Your mask is for particulates. So, I'm confused.
Ideally you'd want a respirator, but any mask is better than none. Most hobby soap makers don't use a mask and just stand downwind!
How to make a baby soap 5.5 ph level? And how reduce ph of a soap?
Not possible unfortunately.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking how the companys reduce there ph? I check some baby soaps its 5.5?
why is that 100% palm kernel soap with 40% lye discount. my soap always causes volcanoes when I add perfume. always please help me
Palm kernel oil is like coconut oil and saponifies very hot! They can volcano if made too hot. I'm not sure what you mean by 40% lye discount. You may want to check out my soap formulation playlist for clarification to ensure you're using a correct and safe method for devising your soap recipes.
🤔
india is a beautiful country.
I live in Pakistan and palm oil is not available here for household use.
What sort of animal fats do you have? A beef tallow or goat tallow could easily substitute. You would need to run the formula through a soap calculator, to make sure you have the right amount of lye.
Great advice, thank you.
Hi, you could use these resources to formulate a new soap recipe with the oils you have available:

I don't know where my comment went but your litsea isn't within the skin safe usage rate. According to the newest IFRA, everything above 3% of the total oil weight is not safe for use on skin
I only used 3% of litsea (3% each litsea and eucalyptus - 6% total).
Can you give me a 1000 oil recipes please
What super fat? I hear this but they never say what the super fat is
Superfat Explained czcams.com/video/cI6D3kbAb40/video.html
What's the correct pH for this?
It should be about 8-9 when fully saponified, just like any other handmade soap.
