This soap was really hard the next day. I kind of expected that, but I’m glad I didn’t wait to cut the soap. I had my wire cutter really tight and you can see in the video how much it bends. I’ve been using this soap and really like it, but, as I said in the video, the 60% shea butter is still my favorite. ☺ Thanks so much for watching! -Holly :)

In order for it to harden, do the soap need to rest for 5weeks or overnight. How much lye an oil do I need for this recipe

@marlettemorris4117 15 дней назад

Hi Holly! What quality does the shea butter soap have that makes you prefer it over the cocoa butter one? Other than cost??

@teashaswartz Год назад

This was my first soap, after watching several safety videos prior & much reading up. I made it in the evening when my kids went to bed and cut it in the late morning after rush. It hardened very fast. Mine traced much faster than yours seemed to. Cutting was a little harder than I anticipated, so I see why people don’t use regular knives! I had some breakage and cracking along the edges, during cutting. Good amount of lather & suds. Feel clean after using. Would prefer it to be more moisturizing, which is what I’m really looking for in a soap. It’s not as moisturizing as I thought so much cocoa butter would be. This has me thinking 60 shea next.

@kimberlyo2037 6 месяцев назад

Love your videos, I was looking to do a high percentage cocoa butter soap, since I love the smell of unrefined cocoa butter, but I was concerned about it overheating and cracking. I think I will try your Shea butter recipe instead, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I am a new subscriber and new to soap making. I love your soap making explanations and recipes and especially your calm way of presenting the information to your viewers. I apologize if you've already answered my question. I see that you use varies temperature for you oils & lye in soaping. Should your oil temperature be at 85F and lye water at 93? Or does it depend on the recipe? I was trying to locate a beginning soap make video by you but couldn't locate it. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to make the Calendula Soap recipe!!!

@kimberlyo2037 6 месяцев назад

I wonder if doing this recipe without coconut oil, and replace with more castor oil and olive oil or avocado oil will make it less difficult to cut into?

@monitoot Год назад

When can I start rapping and packaging the soap ? Is it after a month and a half or two days? I mean should I let it dry on the shelf until it's ready to be used ?

@kasie680 Год назад

I’m surprised it lathered like that! I made a soap once with mostly solid batters and it had no lather at all

@user-fx6tn4vt9l Год назад

Is this good soap to use for a baby and gentle

@maikolverasson1735 Год назад

Hi Holly, love your videos! I read, that a higher percentage of cocoa butter in a recipe can make the soap feel drying when used. Not sure if you like to share how the soap you made felt when you tried it? If yes, I'd love to read about that. Greetings from Berlin.

@KarinaMD.11 Год назад

I don't think so, the coconut oil is the one that dries (a lot) the skin. It is not moisturizing or emollient at all, so you have to use no more than15% of coconut oil in a recipe. On the other side, cocoa butter has no cleansing properties and its creamy, conditioning and gives long life shelf to the soap.

@sl4983 Год назад

Is this cold process, hot process, or melt and pour? thank you

@teshaunanicole832 Год назад

It’s cold process

@SecretSquirrelFun Год назад

I’m probably stating the obvious, but I just wanted to check. Is the reason for adding the lye to the water instead of the other way round, to avoid possible movement or splashing of the lye? I’ve heard to add the lye to the water so many times, but I have never heard why we do this. I’ve always just assumed the reason why. ❤ Love this soap, just beautiful thank you for sharing your process. 🙂🐿❤️🌈

@teashaswartz Год назад

That’s part of it. I’ve also heard lye volcanos.

@VeroNika-gc7mb Год назад

Hi, I always thought that it shouldn’t be more then 15% of cocoa butter in the soap, otherwise it will crack. Did you notice something like this? Thank you so much for your amazing inspirational video!

@NaturalMackie Год назад

Sometimes people give these types of guidelines but it’s always good to test for yourself. I’ve seen recipes with more than 20% up to 30%. You also have to consider the other oils that add to the recipe and would combat this, balancing things out.

Dear Holly I've been watching your videos for quite some time. Can you please make a soap using GHEE? im working on a recipe but need your help. ☺️

Soap with made with ghee or butter will smell like vomit from the butyric acid (which becomes sodium butyrate after saponification).

@khabylamefun1601 Год назад

@@makeit2649 can we add fragrance to it? Its a big business here in our country they make soap using 90% ghee 5% coconut oil and 5% castor oil. And add they add fragrance to it. And the soap really comes out well. I just wanted your help in coming up with a recipe which is good for the skin.

@shoresoffreedom Год назад

@@paulmcdanel2906 yes that's what I read ("no more than 15%" ). Do you have feedback on how soaps with 60% cocoa or shea butter behave after a long while?? in terms of getring soft oe crubly or slimy etc...

@artisanayurveda Год назад

@@shoresoffreedom I have made a five butter soap which constitutes of 80% butter. It was very hard to cut the next day but it was not brittle. It does not dissolve fast in the shower and I did not experience any sliminess. Well, in soaping there is nothing called as "no more than XYZ%". Whatever published on the net are just general guidelines. When you break the rules and explore, you enter a new world of soapmaking altogether. Hope my answer helps.

I oven processed my last soap (1st time I've done that). It was in the oven for nearly 72hrs (light off) because it was still warm to the touch. Is it normal for CP soap to do that? It's only been sliced for a couple of days, so I've not used it yet, and as it was 100% olive oil (my 1st attempt at Castile) I'm a little concerned that I may have over processed it, and damaged it in some way. And, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I've learned so much from your videos, x

@NezumiSoaps Год назад

Very enjoyable and professionally made video, Holly 🤍 Wonderful! I've never gone higher than 25% cocoa butter, so this is very interesting to use 60%.
