If you want to customize soap down to the last ingredient, cold process is a great option. Cold process soap is made by combining oils and sodium hydroxide lye. That causes a chemical reaction called saponification. Melt and pour soap has already gone through that process.
Once you find your perfect recipe you can start getting creative with the designs. You get to choose the oils, colorants, scents, and more. In this video, we go over the basic tools and ingredients you need to get started. We also go over safety when working with lye, how to make soap, and how to clean up. Find more resources below!

Any equipment used for soap making should be exclusive - don’t use it for food. Lye and fragrance can get stuck in cracks, even with thorough washing. We also recommend hand washing instead of using the dishwasher.

The original soap was made from potassium hydroxide, (hardwood ash).

@sa-eedaisha1155 4 месяца назад

Thank you ma'am But please how can you measure the ingredients for example what amount of lye, oils and water to use which is supposed to be much and little

@ashley-cz1sl Год назад

A tip that Katie Carson said in her lye safety video is to use half water half ice. It will help cool the lye and keep the fumes at a minimum

@euchrideucrow1970 Год назад

Well your website already helped me figure out why my soap went to super thick trace in 15 seconds (cold lye but warm coconut oil) and now I find this! A charming presenter, no over-excited shouting, simple instructions and well filmed. This is the BEST soap making video I’ve found, and I’ve watched quite a few.

What did she say ?

@sykotikmommy Год назад

Vinegar! Always have white vinegar on hand for if you end up with lye on your skin. I put white vinegar into my sink of soap to deactivate any lye and I use straight vinegar to wipe down my surfaces and tools like my stick blender, thermometer and scale.

@jeanettehaygood4154 Год назад

Vinegar on lye burn can actually make it worse! ALWAYS use plenty of cool, clean running water on a lye burn. For what it’s worth, common vinegar from the grocery store is only 5% vinegar and 95% water.

@marielcastillo7517 Год назад

Love the way you explained. I started with melt and pour this Christmas, made some macarroon soaps to have fun and give to friends. My family love them. What I see is I need to work fast to make design. I see cold process you have more time so later I am thinking in having my first cold p soap. This is such a good way to be crwative and I learned a lot about what makes a good real soap .

Hello from Cameroon. I discovered your channel and I must admit I am overwhelmed by the simplicity of your explanations. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. There are so many videos on RU-vid but for the first time I fully understand this cold process soap making process. You give a lot of details and it helps neophyte lovers like me. I subscribe directly to your channel and I will recommend it to other cold soap lovers like me. I hope to be able to show you my achievements in the very near future. Thanks again for sharing this. Sorry for my shaky English, I think you'll understand I'm French speaking and just trying to speak in English.

I haven't read the comments so I don't know if anyone's said this before or if you have a video for this but, you tare your scale when measuring and there are people who don't know that you're doing that or don't know what that is/how to do it. Just a suhhestion to explain it for like blank slate newbies. 👍🏼 Love your videos. I'm excited about starting my soap making adventure!

@MissMoniqueBabe Год назад

Hi there, I’ve just made a batch of soap and I am a total beginner. I have a quick question which is. I made my lye solution allowed it to cool down. I waited about an hour to find that it was cold. I then proceeded to make the oil mix waited for that to cool and then combine the oil mix with the lye mix. I’ve just seen that it’s good to keep the two mixture at the same temperature because this help the batter form properly - as I allowed my lye solution to cool down too much, could this effect my final product?

I love your videos and how it's in sections and straight forward, thank you for this! I also have a question when you say use distilled water. Do I actually have to buy ready distilled water or I can just boil the tap water first before mixing with the Lye ? 🙈

@jeanettehaygood4154 Год назад

It depends on the quality of your water. If it is good enough for drinking, it is probably okay for making soap. Some water contains chemicals or minerals that can cause problems with soap making. I would recommend making a small batch of soap using the water you have available and see how your soap turns out. Hope this helps! 🥰

When adding color, do I take the oil from my already measured out oils? Or do I measure out oil thats not from the mix? Hope that makes sense. Do I use fragrance oil or essential oils and whats the differences? Thank you.

@bramble-berry 20 дней назад

The oils used to disperse colors can be separate from the measured oils for your soap. You're welcome to use fragrance or essential oils in your soaps. We have a great article with the distinctions here: www.brambleberry.com/ingredient-information/fragrance-and-essential-oils/art0017-essential-oils-vs-fragrance-oils.html
