Making Soap With Baking Soda Instead Of Lye 

The point is to find the alternative to using lye. Sure you can argue this technically isn't soap, under the FDA guidelines. However, we all know just how well things are approved for use and have a harmful impact on the environment and on people. So, I personally appreciate this video. I think it's beneficial into progress of not using any inorganic compound formula.

Thank you for making soap with baking soda instead of Lye, I'll make it as soon as possible😀👌👍🙏

Large amounts of baking soda can be converted into washing soda by being heated to evaporate the water from it. Most of us who make our own laundry detergent use washing soda as the base so I could see why in this video they used baking soda to make some type of "liquid soap" scrub here. Both baking soda and lye are alkaline natural products but this to me is more of an exfoliant than soap and without some type of fat added to it would over time dry out the skin compared to a hard bar of soap with fats/oils added to help combat dryness during cleansing of the skin.

Nablus soap company has been around for generations they use olive oil water and baking soda

This is not a soap this is a scrub which is very abrasive to the skin.

Thanks for teaching us wonderful

Thanks soooo very much.....blessings ro u...love this recipe

No lye remains in properly formulated, fully saponified soap. And baking soda is also alkaline, but it doesn't make soap. It makes a soft scrub. I personally wouldn't use it on my skin! Superfatted soap is much milder on your skin.

There's no oil in it for the saponification process to happen. So it can't be classified as soap. But baking soda is great for exfoliating and cleansing skin for those of us with allergies to FDA approved soaps. There's a reason why most of the products made in the US are banned in over 30 countries.

Actually Baking Soda is very harsh for some skin types. No trace of Lye remains in a soap product after properly made.

Thank you 🙏🏽

It’s not soap that’s a scrub it’s a big difference

Isn’t this a baking soda scrub?👀😅

I am confused! NO lye remains in soap! If you are doing it right. So NO NO NO NO NO ! This is not soap. Maybe exfoliated mixture, but not soap.

This is not a recipe, it's just to prove your point otherwise. Not a good recipe and misleading.

แทนค่าในสูตรsuperfatเหมือนNaOHใช่ไหมค่ะ

This is click bait translated to English. It's deliberately confusing some items to falsely "prove" its title. I'm not sure how accurate any of the information is.

So it's just a formed backing soda. Why not just use it right out of the bag?

If you make lye soap the right way there is no lye left in it. Also, it sounded to me like you mixed up lye and lard.

No lye no soap.you will end up watery liquid instead of soap bar.dont mislead peoples .😥

no oil?

I have found nothing better than baking soda to have zero body odour, so a baking soda soap would do the job too?

How much baking soda and water?

Will baking soda gives bubble ?

Soap is the salt of a fatty acid, this is not soap.

1) this isnt a soap 2)lye is natural from ashes(best from harder woods) OR crystals. not fat.

So much misinformation. 👎

This is how some cultures make soap, they use olive oil

Yah...at 00:36 they are confusing lye and lard. not good

What??? That's not soap

This is not soap, but a soda scrub. Just baking soda and water.

This video is a manufactured lye(lie)! 🤣😂

What rubbish. She's confusing lye and lard

Baking soda is wayyyy to harsh for my body skin 😅😢

no fat ?

Where do ppl come up with this nonsense? Baking soda doesn't make soap. Any true soaper knows this.

😕🤦‍♂️

Cute story. Not soap and has some terribly untrue and misleading info.

Lye isn't left in the soap after saponification. That's why you let it cure for up to 4 to 6 weeks. This video is just so ill informed. And baking soda which is great but like someone else mention is a scrub. You wouldn't want to rub that on psoriasis or eczema. It'll make it worse.

First you say lye then you talk about lard 0:43

This is musleading

Questo NON è un sapone ma al massimo uno scrub, per non parlare del fatto che anche il bicarbonato può causare irritazione alla pelle con un uso continuativo. Nel sapone NON rimane soda! Ma si trasforma insieme all'olio e acqua appunto in sapone, che è ricco anche di glicerina un prodotto della saponificazione. Infine la ricetta di questo "sapone" è decisamente poco accurata e precisa! Quanta acqua? Quanto bicarbonato? Quanti ml di olio essenziale? Se decidi di fare un video sull'alternativa al sapone almeno bisogna essere precisi sui quantitativi, perché è una cosa che la gente userà sulla propria pelle! Non si può pensare di mettere un po' di "questo" e un po' di "quello" nel calderone e poi consigliarlo come metodo alternativo al sapone . No NAOH o KOH? niente sapone mi spiace...

Making soap without lye is a lie 😆

video sucks. clickbait. no information on making soap

There is so much wrong with this video, I don’t know where to start. Not only is the information wrong, but potentially harmful. Saponification occurs when oil is mixed with lye, which is first dissolved in water. The oil and lye have a chemical reaction that results in soap. Oil + lye water = soap + glycerin. Homemade soap done correctly contains no residual lye, but does contain an abundance of glycerin. It is not harsh on the skin. Most soap makers use more oil than is necessary for the saponification process, which added to the glycerin byproduct makes the soap extra moisturizing. Too much oil bad for the skin? Oils are used to moisturize the skin. After water, oil is typically the main ingredient in lotions and conditioners. Different oils have different properties, so it is possible to select oils to help specific skin or hair problems. Oil is mildly acidic, so is good for our mildly acidic skin. Baking soda, like lye, is alkaline and is harsh on skin and hair. It is far less corrosive than lye, but still harsh. By all means, if you want to strip all the oils from your skin and hair, scrub with baking soda, but you will need to follow up with a vinegar rinse and a good lotion or conditioner.
