Thank you for saying how/why the temperature rises when dissolving the lye and for explaining what the 'trace' is. No one in any of the other video's did this. It all becomes clear.

I made a basic lard soap because I had not made soap in decades. I gave it to some coworkers. Two of them had eczema, and extremely sensitive skin. No adverse reaction. I had no idea, they were severely sensitive!

That’s because pig cells are very close to human cells…the body works less to heal ❤

I love tallow soaps, beef and bison as well. Your soap is so beautiful 😻. I use ice cubes or frozen milk or AloeVera juice to dissolve the lye and avoid the fumes and the waiting time

@marlenebowker1109 22 дня назад

I'm sold on this recipe! Absolutely gorgeous with the flowers!❤ God bless you for teaching and sharing your knowledge!

when I lived in California, everyone wanted vegan soaps and was grossed out by tallow or lard. Now that I live in Texas, everyone loves tallow soaps, lotions, and balms.

@robertahubert9155 Год назад

Thanks for taking step by step. I think I can do this. I'll let you know how it turnes out. You made it look so easy. I am going to use some muffin pans instead of buying soap forms. Just in case I never do it again

Great tutorial!! I make lots of my own stuff from scratch but now I’m looking into making my own soaps. I want to keep the fat from our deer this fall and render it for tallow to use in soaps! Quick question(s). Instead of olive oil can you add any oil that has been infused? Like calendula infused with avocado oil? And after the soap is cured, what is the best way to store the unused bars and approximately how long will they store for? Thanks again for this video! It was a definite confidence boost that I can totally do this :)

@esthermichael6313 Год назад

Thank you for making it simple and clear. But does tallow soap lather very well?

@WindDancer435 Год назад

Great video. Do you ever use spikenard oil in your soaps? Thanks

@kerrikolby6124 4 месяца назад

Hello, and thank you for that step by step, did you have to cover your soap loaf while it was curing for those two days?

@sitiodavonilza1909 2 года назад

Boa tarde tudo bem eu ja cheguei , pra acompanhar o seu trabalho,

@user-mi3gk9yf6i Месяц назад

Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I made a batch today, I'm excited for it to cure!! To cut down on cost, can sunflower oil be used in place of the olive oil without needing to adjust the lye?

@user-mh7qk1ei7b 5 месяцев назад

Thankyou for saring advis making soap how to get you gridding

@LizBarney2012 7 месяцев назад

Beautifully white. I would have thought the olive oil would make it a little green.

@GroundedHavenHomestead 7 месяцев назад

Extra virgin OO would make it greener, but processed olive oil doesn't have as much color!

Anyone know if the flower pedals have to be dried?

@deecee7990 16 дней назад

How do you know what weight and measurements are needed for each item? Ie: the lye. Is there a website for this?

@katelindenmuth5509 Месяц назад

If I want to add one ounce of essential oils can I just do one less ounce of olive oil in this recipe so I don't have to reconfigure the lye solution?

@peggynarron6512 Месяц назад

For this recipe how much essential oil would you recommend

@umadev6077 2 месяца назад

Can you please help to create mass awareness using natural resources like soap nut bio enzymes preparation without using chemical products

@evelyndueno9136 2 месяца назад

Im concert with the harder of the soap. Love it when is realky hard. Can you comment abaut that?

@stacyeppen5901 2 месяца назад

I just followed this recipe and my soap came out yellow. I did put some essential oils in it. Wondering if that could have changed the color.

What could you add to make it exfoliate?

Poppy seeds are great for exfoliating

How come that glass did not break at such high temperature?

@ddas8452 Год назад

When is it safe to use it? how many days or weeks after making it....

@tawonzamora5521 Год назад

Takes 4-6 weeks to cure

@crunchymountainmomma 6 месяцев назад

Should it lather as you do clean up? I followed the precise measurements and your fantastic directions, but clean up was still greasy, so to speak.

@GroundedHavenHomestead 6 месяцев назад

It is a bit of a messy cleanup process. I usually try to wipe up whatever i can with paper towels before washing with water, and that helps a lot!

@chellsgram 6 месяцев назад

It takes a couple of days for the raw soap to cure enough for the oiliness to be emulsified, after which any soap remnants remaining in the mixing bowls or on utensils will lather a bit when washed with water. It took me a little time to realize this but once I did, it was a game changer! Since I was making only enough soap for my family, I had time to set my mixing bowls & utensils aside in a storage room for a few days before washing them to make cleaning easier. Once the soap remnants have aged a little, you can wash the utensils with plain water since the utensils are already coated in more than enough soap to clean them. And yes, it will produce some lather at this point, though not as much as when the soap has fully cured. An added benefit of waiting to clean the utensils is that the longer you wait, the milder the soap will be on your hands. Raw soap is very harsh on skin, but the longer you allow it to cure, the milder it becomes. Hope this helps.

@randyburks7482 Месяц назад

How much water and how much lye?? You didn't give the measurements for use with your oils....??

@GroundedHavenHomestead Месяц назад

the recipe is in the description box

@brigidlaffey7343 24 дня назад

Coconut oil is cleansing, not drying 😊

@talabitunde150 7 месяцев назад

This class is incomplete since you didnt state the measurements of the water and lye as well as the quantity of the tallow.

@GroundedHavenHomestead 7 месяцев назад

@@GroundedHavenHomestead Thank you so much for this video. I found it very informative. I'd very much like to try this recipe. Thank you also for the lye calculator.

@daydreambeliever6603 9 дней назад

The animals still have to be dispatched to use tallow. That does go against the values of being vegan, doesn’t it? It does make beautiful soap, however😊
