1 Simple Olive Oil Coconut Oil Soap Recipe 

I just absolutely love Becky she's such a sweet kind and helpful soul! We need more peoole like her in this world. I'm glad she's here inspiring others to be like her

This is the best soap recipe on RU-vid, simple yet so nourishing and moisturizing on your skin.

This is one of my favorite soap making videos. I always refer back to this. Love love love this recipe 🥰 Thank you

I just fell in love with the simplicity of this recipe 💖 thank you for sharing

Thanks so much! Homemade soap is on my list of new skills this year, and I'm excited to get started and share my experiences too! This is perfect timing, because I'm off to make my first batch right now, lol

I just love her. She is wonderful to watch. I feel like I'm with a friend. Thank you Becky for your wonderful videos. You take the fear out if soap making

I really want to thank and congratulate you. This is by far the most clear tutorial about simple soap making I have seen so far! You do everything exactly like I do! Simple, fast and no fuss!

I made homemade soap for the first time ever after watching your videos. I had so much fun and appreciate how easy you made the instructions. Thank you! We love that you built your own cabin and your homestead. I have referenced your various chicken videos many times over the past 2 years since we moved onto our own little farm.

Becky, thank you so much for sharing this! I bought your Soap Making E-Book and tried this recipe. I have just started using it last week, and it's to die for! Yes, it's as easy to make as you show it here, and using it is such a pleasure! This soap has the creamiest lather, and it leaves your skin feeling clean and soft. One small word of caution: Be careful who you share this soap with - They will LOVE it and want more!!

the olive oil makes for a creamy bubble-less soft bar that moisturizes but does not clean very well. coconut makes for a very bubbly-bar that cleans very aggressively and can dry your skin. by mixing olive and coconut (usually 1:5 - 1:3 coconut to olive, you will get a decently hard bar that is creamy, bubbly, moisturizing and a good cleaning bar. A few things worth mentioning here for anyone new to soap making and considering giving this a go. 1, the recipe she uses here is a really decent all around good recipe. If you wish to experiment with smaller batches as you learn, there are several LYE CALCULATORS online. just google them. these calculators will allow you to add whatever amounts of different oils you want, and then calculate for you how much lye and water (or tea or goats milk) to use for whatever size batches you want to make. 2: olive oil is an oil that takes longer than other oils to reach trace. so if you want to get creative where you split your main batch of soap into smaller containers that can be colored differently and then re-combined into a single mold with swirls and streaks, this recipe is ideal as it will reach a light trace and you still have time to mix and pour. the more coconut oil or least amount of olive oil you use, the faster it will thicken to the point where you cannot pour it and swirl it easily. And 3: if you do not want to wait six weeks to try your soap out, mix your recipe in a slow cooker (one dedicated for soap and will not be used for food again). Follow her same procedures of using a stick blender alternating between blending and stirring until a thick trace is reached. thick trace will be the consistency of slightly watery pudding. once that is done, turn the slow cooker on low or medium heat, place the lid on top, and leave it alone for about 30 minutes. As it nears completion, you will see the soap rise on the sides looking somewhat translucent like vasolene. Use a wire wisk and stir it well and let it cook for another 10 minutes. when it is done, if you pinch a little sample and touch it to your tongue, it should only feel a bit waxy and taste a bit soapy. if you taste it and it 'zaps' your tongue slightly like touching a 9 volt battery to your tongue, then it is not ready yet and there is still some lye left that has not saponified. let it cook a bit more until it tastes and feels only like warm soapy wax. *note, the sample for this need only be very tiny. Once your soap is complete and safe, it will now be about the same consistency as mashed potatoes. turn the heat off, and let it sit and cool for about ten minutes. at this point you can add your super fats (like a tablespoon of jojoba or palm kernnel or lanolin etc). about a table spoon per pound of soap, your fragrant oils (you can use essential oils on this hot process soap since the lye is used up during the cooking phase and will not destroy the natural EO. cold process soap still has active lye in it and so will destroy some of your essential oil fragrances. for cold process soap, Fragrant oils (FO) may be a better option than all natural essential (EO). you can also add color at this point as well, before scooping your soap into your molds. Because the hot process soap is thicker like mashed potatoes, you can color it, but it is much harder if not impossible to get the fine lines and swirls possible with cold processing, however there are techniques that allow some swirling. Excellent video, a great introductory recipe for beginners! In summary, if you want to try your soap right away, simply follow this video but mix your oils and lye in your crock-pot/slow cooker instead of a stainless bowl, and then heat on low to medium for 30 - 40 minutes. hot process soap is ideal for those not looking to go fancy right away and who just want to make a good all natural soap bar you can use right away. ***last note- you can add a tablespoon of sugar to your water or tea BEFORE adding lye to your water, to increase bubbiness. if you add sugar after lye, the sugar will harden into gunk at the bottom, so dissolve the sugar in water first. ***final note: using goat's milk instead of tea or water is not as straight forward. get good at regular soap before attempting to use milk. the rason being is the lye and heat will scortch milk and ruin your soap. in order to make goats milk soap, the milk must be weighed and frozen before hand and the batch much be kept very cool. keeping your stainless mixing bowl inside another pot full of ice, you add your lye to the frozen milk, add your scents, blend it and mix it to trace as quickly as possible, pour into your molds, and then place outside in the winter time, or directly in your fridge to six for 4 to 6 weeks. it is not possible to hot process any milk based soaps.

You are the first person I watched as a soap maker and I love your personality and the fact that you share your secrets is amazing for the soaps. Thank you so much. GOD has gifted you and you have shared HIS gift with all of us! Thank you so much....~Blessings to you~

I really need to make this soap. Yours is by far my favorite. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

I followed your instructions for my first time making homemade soap. It came out great. Thank you!!!!

I absolutely loved this video! The way you explain things and the passion in your presentation make it very enjoyable. Thank you

u have been one of the most concise teachers of this process I have seen to date... best of all things to ya! u really are a great instructor... im not at all confused at the lesson as I haver been with other soap makers! 💙 thank u very much!

I appreciate your enthusiasm in soap making. And thank you for easy to follow instructions

I finally made my soap!! Almost a year watching you😁 Thanks you definitely are my favorite soap maker❤

I love this video! Ive been trying to educate myself on how to make soap and today I plan to make it. This video was so fun and informative without being overwhelming or scary. I love your personality :)

Thank you, Becky. Your presentation is very intimate. Your instructions are very clear and simple to understand. This was my first time making soap and it came out great. I just tried your other recipe today (coconut oil only), and my wife came to watch the entire process. She is also excited for this next batch now. To check temperature, I just used our regular thermometer that we use to check fever, because that has an 'object' mode that goes up to 173 degrees. It is infrared, instant read, and worked out fine for soap making as well. Thanks again for putting up these recipes.

What I like about your presentation is that it gives the newbie or enthusiast that ' can do' feeling. I've looked at other soap making videos and yours offers one of the simpler, down home approaches that's very appealing to someone starting on their soap journey or someone who's timid to try it and feels intimidated by some tutorials that can make one feel that they need a degree to make soaps. Please continue to showcase your skills, there are those of us who appreciate your approach to soapmaking!

Olive oil, coconut oil soap is my fav. A batch that size I would make in a 3.5 gallon food storage bucket. (Less splashing)Also the meat or cheese thermometer works great.....easier to clean. This soap recipe retains all the natural glycerin and is non-drying. I even use it on my face. Don't forget to rotate and flip the bars while they finish curing (8 weeks). They will dry more evenly.

Showering is an assault, you crack me up! On to this next project soon. Ordering molds. You help make life interesting again, something of self worth, fulfilling to do. You don't need a boss to tell you when they think you've done a good job one or two times a year in reviews and pittance raises if at all anymore! By saving tons of money, I give myself raises and extreme pride in everything I keep trying and creating thanks to you Becky.

Watched this video on the fly, looking at different soap making vids, and your personality and enthusiasm are wonderfully magnetic! Going on to watch more of your vids! Keep up the great work!

This is the best video ever for new people like me !!!I'm excited about making soap and I was always worried about how it can get expensive with all those oils I'm glad and grateful as a newbie I can start with 2 to 3 the most I love this video!!!!

You’re fantastic! So relatable and nonjudgmental. I hope you keep making videos! ☺️

Finally someone normal making normal soap with instructions on my level. I actually felt like I was watching myself with a few more years experience, log home and all! Thank you, I am no longer afraid of the lye and I am going to finally make my soap tomorrow (today's 110 degrees and tomorrow is 87).

Thanks Becky! Even though I've been making soap for 25 years, I quite enjoyed your take on it! (Keep it simple, and love, love, love your homemade soap!) And I do :) Today I cut my newest batch - which is the end result of 3 weeks of ruminating on the scent of cherry blossoms! I wanted it to be not a synthetic blend, but a natural one.

I love you. Made my first soaps a year ago and here I go again. Follow your directions and it comes out perfect every time. This is batch 4. I'll make one more when the foams are free. I make some deep bars and I find if you leave them sit for two day it comes out better. Thank you again.

You have been inspiring me to move off grid for years...im happy to tell you, I'm finally doing it!!!!

So excited to see you making soap. I like the voting on the topics thing you're doing. Wish I could vote for 2. Soap & Land. God bless♡

Thank you for this tutorial for making soap. You are the only one that I have seen so far that show me step by step from beginning to end. Most of all the tutorials that I've seen that really have all the ingredients mostly mixed together before they start the video especially the part when they mix the lye with the water. That's the part that I was always confused about how to mix it with water

This was the best video I have watched so far for how to make your soap at home. Thanks

Oh, you make soapmaking so simple and fun! And I love those molds too. Thanks for the lesson! Now, I feel like taking on my first batch!😃

My wife and I used to make soap...it was awesome and a whole lot of fun :) This one batch we made had WAY too much oil in it (my fault...measured wrong lol) but we just poured off the excess oil and had the most amazing, most moisturizing soap EVER. Gave some to my sister-in-law, and it actually cleared up her psoriasis :D :D :D

This is awesome. I have made soap before many times, but not the room temp method. So after watching your video I looked up more about it and now I am hooked! And also I was looking for a super simple natural recipe that used both olive and coconut oils b/c I didn't want bars of soap that were too soft and didn't last long or too hard to work with. This is perfect!! Thank you!!

Love your charismatic and down to earth personality. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 💖

this was GREAT! thank you!! you made it so unscary!!!!

Thanks so much Becky! My first ever batch of Lemongrass and Turmeric soap was a success!!

Well I made 3 simple ingredients soap. Turned out so nice my husband went and called his sister at her house and told her how wonderful it turned out. She wants some now!!! I think it is truly beautiful white soap. I can't wait until it cures. I want to keep all of it. My sister wants some too so I will make another batch in a couple days. Thank you for the wonderful gift of making soap. You are so good at explaining. I watch you on a regular basis but never trusted myself to make it. I did and it came out beautiful. Thank you dear.

I am now officially addicted to your videos! I will be making this soap as soon as my soap molds and lye are delivered by Amazon!!! Next Wednesday!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Decadent that’s the word you’re looking for ... luxuriously self-indulgent soap... lovely

I am going to teach my little Home Schooling Community kids how to do this. We are going to feel oh so clever! Thank you for teaching me. And we will pay it forward.

This is on my must try list, Ms Becky ❤️ thank you for your tutorials!

I just love how genuine you are. It makes my day. I just dont know how you can make soap just once a year. Itd be like Xmas for me. Tho i am a newbie, i LOVE making soap and have plans for shampoo bars, and general purpose bars. And laundry bars, not to mention my bath bars. Of course, i have 10 ppl in my house and i send stuff to my elderly FIL... so theres a big need for soap here. Lol

Pretty bars. I love the imperfect bars too..

I laughed out loud when you said that you felt assaulted by the shower! You are so fun, and an inspiration. Love all of your videos.

I watch alot of her videos and learned how to make laundry soap too. Her videos go step by step so anyone can follow along even a man like me with a child like mind. hahahaha I am retired Army and a wood worker and I also am going to start making my own bars of soap too now. So thanks Becky keep the videos on soap coming.

I just found you and I like your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and actually leaving the recipes so others can try to make their own. God bless you.

"When I'm in the shower and the waters beating down on me I feel assaulted😂😂😂😂"

Just an FYI, I have a soap business and make soap all the time. You should always weigh your oils no matter what. I have tested many times and the weight mentioned on the container the oil comes in is never accurate. It is always 1-3 oz less. If you do not measure you may get lye heavy soap.

Thank you for your video. I really appreciate the effort you put in the process of making it. You are a very generous woman to share the precise amount of ingredients. It’s not easy to find someone who does it; most of the people just show the process of mixing ingredients but not the amount. Therefore those videos are useless to watch and a waste of time. Again thank you for teaching us

Thank you explained everything thing great and not too long. Beautiful soaps. I can't wait to try mine out.

I just made the coconut oil soap, you weren’t kidding about too trace😂 i traced it a little bit too much and it was a bit difficult to get it in the mold😂it was fine though but man! It traced really quick! Love your recipes!👍🏿

one of easiest soaps. no long cooking or heating long time... no chemicals. just good natural soap basic.

Becky, you have an outstandingly positive and upbeat attitude. Bravo!

Thank you thank you I've been watching soap videos all day and now it's 9 in the evening and I found this video and I love it.

If we prefer a "Stronger Scent", how much Essential oil can we add to this Receipe? Thank you.

I have a botanical bath and body business n I use mnp bases.

Thanks for making this video and sharing your knowledge. Your presentation was very comprehensive. It's nice to have a single video reference for all the information needed to make this. All the best!

I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS! I think they're SO helpful/useful with your quick, to the point information

You do still need to measure your coconut oil and olive oil because you do not get the amount of ounces that’s on the label inside of the bottle. If the label says 15oz you will only yield approximately 14.9 oz which will throw the recipe off.

This is one of the BEST videos I have ever seen - thank you!! Great Job! Where do you buy everything? (like the lye, molds and organic dyes)

I love the way your soap turned out. I will try your recipe. Thanks!!

The best video on soap making. Much easier than most. Pretty soaps too.

I covered my molds snd they reheated itself and turned back into a liquid😂dang covering the molds really Does keep the heat in to.

I got a bit lost in fluid oz ( as there are few types). This what I guess is the conversion to metric system Olive oil coconut oil soap recipe: • 29 FL OZ = 0.857 L Coconut Oil • 51 FL OZ =1.5 L Olive Oil • 11.8 oz = 330g Lye 29.5 oz = 826g Distilled Water

Wonderful video! I can’t believe it is so simple. I just tried out your homemade laundry soap and I absolutely love it. I can’t wait to try this too.

I ordered the soap molds and I love them, thank you for sharing

Did you know can pour your soap when it is only at a very light trace. It is much easier to pour at that point. Watch Royalty Soaps. She sometimes pours when her soap is emulsified. Love your soap recipes. You make it so easy for everyone.

I would HIGHLY suggest still measuring the oils & not just trusting the company. I measured out Trader Joes coconut oil and it was two full ounces LESS then what they marketed on the bottle. I opened another of their jars - same thing. That could have thrown off the Lye calculation & messed up my entire batch of soap.

This is the first recipe I tried years back. It is great!

Love this! And didnt realize it was so easy! Thanks Becky, love your videos!

You are too cute!

girl i love that bowl..Its huge..What do i google to get that 'BIG ASS BOWL"..LOL...No seriously where can i get it though

I love you Becky many years AGO You impacted my life and you still do!!!

Love your vlogs. Made my first batch of soap today. Cutting it tomorrow

Hi Becky I just made this batch step by step . I used Lavender essences oil as it is the only essential oil I have a lot of But the rest I did exactly as you have shown ..can't wait to see it . Thank you for your wonderful videos. Love all the way from Ireland 💚

Thank you for sharing your measurements of receipe, I'm new to this project and you were super helpful.

Olive oil soap is the BEST! My son has eczema and its the only thing he can use. Thanks Becky for getting the word out. What's better than hygiene/skin care you make yourself?!

I just love how you explain everything

I love your videos!!! I can see you enjoy making them and it's just satisfying to watch

I love your explanation my dear. Just wanted to tell you that aloe is a good thing to use on burns. It stops the pain, stops the skin from swelling, and speeds up the healing process. I have tried it when I got burned. A few of my family members work in the medical industry. Other than that. I love watching and learning from you. Love the flowers. I'm watching from Trinidad & Tobago. Keep doing what you do. God bless.🙏🏾

Thank you so much for sharing. I made it look so easy that really want to make soap now.

Becky thanks so much for all you information peace love and all gods blessing to you and your family

Becky thankyou! Ive used this recipe and its great! Thankyou so much xxx

Thanks for making soaping videos you inspired me to make my own soap !

Thank you for sharing your recipe! You are awesome. So many You Tube videos don't give recipes out. It is so kind to share.

Awesome thank you for sharing it, I’ll do some of them with my kids and wife.

This is the best and simplest way to make a soap. I love it. Thanks a lot for thidy

This video was so enjoyable and I love ur genuine personality thank you for this

Soon will be making my own and to do it for a business. You did a great job.

will be trying this for sure.....love the natural clean spirit as well...

Thanks for sharing. I like the way you explained. Beautiful 😊🙏

Lovely video so simple I have to try this recipe. I’ve made soap before but it takes long sometimes cos of all the different oils, this seems simple enough ☺️

Really enjoyed your video. Makes me want to try making my own soap. Thanks for sharing.

love your video on soaps, Ms. Lady...making me want to give soap making another try. THANKS!

Thank you Becky for posting this video!!

I'm so glad I ran into this. I was looking into making rosemary soaps! Thank YOU!

Wow I wanna make this, awesome video, thank you so much for sharing Becky

I'm making soap this weekend....I can't wait for the smells...I use rose oil because I love that girly rose smell. I actually made my own rose oil this time so, I'm excited to see how it'll smell in my soap. My son is gone, too, so I'm getting into making my own infused oils for stuff.....I made orange oil, lemon oil....It cleans good!! I have to mix it with a touch of polysorbate 80 to mix the oil and water. I've got a huge Rosemary tree. The thing is 6 foot tall!!! I had to get creative with how I store some of it for winter. I used olive oil and infused it with the rosemary and used it to cook with. Great flavor! Why not, right? I do an herb garden every year so, I'm trying to learn ways to keep them besides my dehydrator. I've been making my own candles....I love for my house to smell nice and candles have gotten so expensive I couldn't afford them!! I can make 8 candles for the price of one and it only takes me 35 minutes! I make all my family save their candle jars so I can wash them out and reuse. Happy New Year!!!!
