How To Make Soap With Turmeric 

New soaper, I love your channel because you encourage simple. Nothing fancy or elaborate, just what I need.

Freshly ground black pepper! Works great with turmeric soap, for that added bit of exfoliation. I'm starting up my soap business and this will be a soap I offer. I use half beef tallow and half shea butter in my recipe. Finalizing my recipe and tweaks now. I have grown my own turmeric for a few years, and working on the peppercorn plant. Thanks for the video, nice to see others recognize the use for turmeric in soap!

Don't worry, a lot of us like to hear you run on lol, you honest and share exactly what you think about things, exactly why I started watching you lol.

Love that you give it to us straight without a bunch of fluff! Knowledge based on experience is invaluable! Love watching your videos! Side note: sooo refreshing to see a male soaper!!!

Ive watched a few of your videos and here is my 2 cents.- Every "stand out" good teacher I can recall in my life has also, at times, annoyed me by over communicating. So, whatever people may think about the number of words that come out of your mouth while filming one of your videos sharing your knowledge and your time amounts to nothing but a fart in the wind because everyone here knows one thing for sure..that YOU are a great teacher. That is why we are here. Thank you.

I liked getting the whole start to finish with the cutting on same video. Being able to see finished product on same video is great

Thanks again John for the simplicity in soap making. It's not rocket science.

I like when you talk, I’m very new to making soaps 🧼 and I am soaking up your words like a sponge 🧽 Thank you and your family for being TRUE and helping your neighbors!!!

I think I'm going to give this soap a go, only calculating in some red palm oil to enhance the natural turmeric colour. Thank you for the recipe, Uncle Jon.

APRIL2024 was the first time that I saw this video, and so far I must say that this is one of those videos that really make sense. I'm a Newbie artisan soap. Thank you for sharing the ingredients and computation 🥰🥰🥰

Your camera skills and voice volume are just fine.

Thanks to you and your videos my wife and I have been making soap for aprox. six months now, and we love it! Thank you for the video's and just for keeping it real.

I do a turmeric, chamomile and Calendula bar (i infuse the oils with all 3) I don't add any extra fragrance or colour and it is a beautiful shade of yellow. It is also a great seller :-)

I know you made this video six months ago yeah I had a comment for you. And I made turmeric soap and split off extra batter and put even more turmeric in it for a squirrel inside the soap and it came out darker in the middle with the swirl and it looks amazing. Just thought I’d share that with you. Blessings for a great week.

Also tumeric w/lemon & tumeric, lemon and aloe vera are very good facial soaps for scars or dark spot removal.

We consume almost 2 tea spoons of turmeric in our food every day here in India, we use it in every kind of food pretty much! Super food right there 💛

Pumice soaked the water 💦 up. As a farmer 👨🏾‍🌾 pumice is used to soak up water and oxygen and release it slowly in the soil. Your channel is 10/10. The random rabbit 🐇 🕳 and knowledge perfect.

Uncle Jon, you rock, as a new soaper, you make it so easy for us to understand without being so uptight and nervous, you know what I'm talking about, lol, but thank you so very much 😉

I wish it didn’t lighten upon curing. I love the dark rich colour

Wow lovely soap Recipe.... I am an Indian , we Indians add turmeric in all dishes . We have ubtan powder where we mix rice flour, gram flour and some Ayurvedic items and rose petals and Turmeric, this powder is good for skin. Turmeric in soap is a great idea . It has beauty benefits and anti septic , anti fungal benefits..... I will prepare in my next batch of soap( Soap making is my hobby, I don’t sell , rather I gift to my friends and family)😍 Thank you for the recipe 😃👍👍🙏

Maybe cedarwood scent? Feels like it would match the color. Or maybe vanilla sandalwood?? Sounds like it would smell nice

Hi, I love your videos and make things so simple and easy. In India we make face mask made out of Turmeric and sandal wood powder and as a soap maker i have used this combination along with Sandalwood essential oil. It really goes very well together. Its warm, relaxing and also unisex. Hope you will try it out. Cheers

Thanks Jon & Meaghan. I'm new to soap making and after watching a ton of informative but complicated videos I really appreciate how you simplify the entire process and you constantly remind us to keep it simply and don't make it complicated. Thanks again! Oh and BTW...I clicked the link even though you said "Don't lick this"...LOL!

Love the simplicity!! Also thank you for sharing your recipe, wow I didn’t expect Shea butter 😃 but it’s great for the skin indeed! Greetings from The Netherlands!

Love love love this soap! I am not a professional and made this for family & friends. I did something wrong and it started to set up fast. I was able to save most of the batch and get it into individual molds. I am going to try again and follow the recipe exactly. Its nice looking as it cures and the lather/suds are phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and recipe! I mite be able to give it as Christmas gifts. ❤

Excellent video Uncle John. I would most probably add a bit of ginger essential oil to this turmeric soap.

😍walnut shell powder is good too. I added some to my soap. When I have a hard loaf I cut one by one.

My favorite channel my favorite turmeric I always make sure that I have it in my home

I did make turmeric soap and added frankincense oil, it turned out nice.

One thing I learned last batch 2 weeks ago. 1st time usin liquid oils so fer us newer soapers weigh yer liquid oil separately. The last batch is probably 12% overfat. Took a week before I could unmold and cut. But once it sweats all it wants to it should be very " moisturizing " Olive oil soap

A fireside fragrance would be awesome with turmeric. Great video!

I actually prefer the all in one videos. I wanna know how the soap turns out without having to watch a second video. I watch all your videos anyway so I guess it doesn't much matter. Lol. But that's just what I prefer. Prep, mix, pour, cut all in one vid. Lol

I like your viedos, no matter how long. Grate job Jon!

In my country we say Kurkuma :)

I do turmeric soap and they are really nice

About to make tuneric soap so thanks for the tips

Hay Man!!! Get fresh turmeric. or dry but ungrounded turmeric. Just cobble it and put it in required quantity of water. boil it well then stain it. you would get colour and ingredients of turmeric but not crumbs. Then prepare lye in that water. you would get very smooth texture . stay blessed. 😍

I love your channel you're a great mentor

Wow! I was curious as to why your bars were that hard. I've cut plenty of times within 6 hours of making a loaf but yours was over the top hard so I calculated your recipe on my lye calculator I made. You SF'd at slightly more then 5% (Mainly cause of your oil amounts). You may be calling that a water discount (only cause others call it a water discount) but in my book you used ALOT of water which was a little more then 2.5x lye at 72.43% water. Nothing wrong with that. It just adds to the mystery and intrigue of why the incredibly hard bar of soap. Normally, when lye heavy it would be crusty on the edges. I saw no crust and your recipe was not lye heavy and perfectly in range unlike many recipes I see online. Shea butter can make it harden quicker because it saponifies faster but you only used 10%. So, ladies and gentleman, the result of my test is you have an incredibly well made bar of soap! Ohhhh, it just dawned on me why the large amount of water. Your coconut oil is 40.1%. Is that the reason? Nice soap by the way. I like it and the recipe and very good job sir. You make the complicated simple.

This is a great video...thanks. Very easy to follow. I was eyeing the Uncle Joe’s mugs. I think I want one of those too

Sir, how does Turmeric help the face?.THANK YOU for all the great vids..Talk on for we learn.💪👍

Cardamom would be the perfect smell with turmeric!

Thank u very much uncle for your time and patience I am trying your receipe

I can't wait to try that.

I added a red dye to mine. Lol after lye.. it turned blue.. it was so funny. No other has ever done it

I use charcoal as my scrub.

I always wonder if you cover your new pours...or do you just let them sit uncovered on the counter? I’m not super clear on why and when you’d cover/not cover. Thanks!

Good Job John!

Nice I tried your recipe it’s a great bar of soap!!!

i love your video i want to make turmeric soap

how to make sea moss soap with recipe

I know you might have mentioned it before but I just want to ask what's that you're using for linings in your mouldings. Thank you very much. I'm a big fan.

Hi, you could try using wild turmeric (curcuma aromatica) . It doesn't stain, and gives a nice aroma. It is also super good to the skin. It is a bit paler in color in comparison to curcuma longa. Additional fact is that any kind of turmeric with long term use controls hair growth on the areas applied

thank you for a great video

Hi thanks for the great information. But I hope it’s ok if I ask how bars can you get from your recipe?

Lovely piece of work. I have never made that kind of soap and strokes me how liquid the resulting mixture gets. Is it because of the turmeric? Every time I have made soap, it thickens little after the trace point. Is there something I can do to maintain my mix more fluidic? Thanks for sharing!

love this soap one of my biggest selling bars tfs

I really like your VIDEOS did subscribe cause I want to see more

Love your videos, very informative. I say tur-mur-ick. You asked.

So you weigh all the oils into the same vessel? Do you just tare between each oil? Tyty

Thanks sir

I like your idea

You talk as much as you want... make those videos an hour long. I enjoy hearing and seeing the process 😁

Can you please share some ideas for sensitive skin?

This is nice. Maybe my next batch will include turmeric. (which I pronounce "ter mer ic" BTW). What would happen if I used ground cinnamon? It would add scent and the grains.... Or not?

Hello John I just beginners..I got one that comes out.good.and spoiled two..I have a pic of the one that spoiled.how can I send it to u see if u can tell what I did wrong

Could you use ground oatmeal instead of pumice and keep the rest the same? Thanks for the video!

New to soap making, would you say it is better to mix your own oils or purchase blocks from Crafters Choice and add in your own scents?

I make Tumeric soap. I bloom it with a little water before I put it in.

I already subscribed!

Awesome recipe love turmeric and your channel, I have olive oil but it is expired, is it safe to use it for making soap?

What a great video....

sandalwood fragrance

Love you Channel :)

How long did you wait to take this soap out of the mold

It's funny that something like oats can be super abrasive

Hello, do you sell your soap for private label?

Oú as tu acheté ton coupe savon il est top

Would it be good to add the turmeric to the lye water and then adding it to the soap?

Can vegetable oil be used in soap making

Sandlewood or blood orange fragrance

How much tumeric is added?

Will bentonite clay be just as hard as pumice to cut the soap?

is the pumice you use pumice powder? hand cleanser?

How do you make that soap cutter sir..what measurements and materials needed for that

I see you use plastic to Kia your lye in at times. I was fearful it would melt or put chemicals into the lye from the plastic. So looks like it is okay…right?

Is temperature a big factor in soap making?

What is the dimensions of the mould you have,

Love your videos. Tumeric and eucalyptus amazing. Try it

What kind of paper so you have to line the mold

Hi there... what grit of pumice do you use?

I have a stupid question.. once lines in it why not cut with a knife?

Exact measurements pls,thank you

how long do you let it set before cutting

Hello there John. I am a newbie and I had a quick question about your water and lye amounts in the recipe. What you put for the water and lye amounts work out to a 27.5% lye concentration. Is that high amount of water due to the high amount of coconut oil? Don't be mad at me but is there a chance that the 23.64oz number is actually the total weight of the lye solution and that the water amount is only 14.64oz which would give you a 38% lye solution?

what do you cover it with when it cures

Ah...so the one you’re cutting is your experimental Turmeric & pumice...not the one filmed with Megan. Explains why you said “the one I made”.😉😉 Between you and me, I wouldn’t recommend pumice for the face - hands & feet yes but face Quel horreur 😮

Thanks for sharing! Can people buy these from you?

what about wrapping the soap

how do i get your cutting tool thank you
