For this soap, I used 100% refined olive oil for my base oil to make what’s called a castile soap. I also added essential oils and kaolin clay. Lather tests at the end.

DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. These videos are intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking has many variables and involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining, so many variables go into making soap and even the smallest change can greatly affect the results; therefore, I am not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods or techniques that I use in my videos.

Great video 👍 When I make 100% olive oil soaps, I add rosemary oleoresin and citric acid, which are natural preservatives and prevent rancidity (unfortunately, pure olive oil soaps get rancid, with time). Anyway, my favorite recipe for body soap, which is also a base for most all my body soaps, is made with 75% olive, 20% coconut and 5% castor oil. It needs no preservatives, because castor and coconut oil don't get rancid, so the soap doesn't, and increase lather a lot; soap makers know that lather has nothing to do with the quality of a soap, anyway it's pleasurable, so it's fine to add it. I tried also 95% olive and 5% castor oils, and still the soap didn't get rancid with time; anyway, I liked it less than the previous one, it felt a little bit less delicate on the skin, and less hydrating too. Still a good quality soap, anyway.

Wonderful information! Thank you so much for sharing!

@VANTAOPT 4 года назад

Hi Dott. Lupus, almond oils also get rancid, right? And what is the recipe (percentages) for your coconut wit olive oil soap? (It will my first attempt to make soap) I have 200ml of coconut denatured, but it are solid at room temperature, can use with one liter of olive oil (~15% coconut oil) with lavander oleoresin? (for this quantities, how much lye (solid 98%) have to use? ) I have dry and sensitive skin and I wash my hands many times a day.. And what about the colorants types can be used to get some colorful stripes/spots like in the swirled soap's?

@beelover2827 3 года назад

So it's olive oil that gets rancid, not coconut oil? I think now i know what happened with my soap.

@manjichromagnon5480 2 года назад

Slippery elm bark also prevents rancidity in oils

@manjichromagnon5480 2 года назад

I find that here in England coconut oil goes rancid quite fast in a humid environment. Perhaps you mean refined coconut oil?

I’ve made Castile soap before too. I’m actually using a bar that’s aged two years. I find Castile to be more cleansing and stripping than other bars I’ve made. My skin is all about the moisture! As a side note, who are the three thumbs down?? I don’t get that at all. Your videos are so beautiful, Holly, and the music you accompany them with is so soothing. If they don’t like soap making, why are they watching??

I had my last child BORN with skin so dry and sensitive that it literally cracked and BLED at every bend and joint. She could only be bathed with baby oil, but my pediatrician suggested at 4 months that I could attempt Castile soap once a week. Having worked with horses, where Castile soap can commonly be found, I stopped by a tack store and snagged a bar asap. Almost had a heart attack at the price. 12$/bar?! Thus began my journey into soap making...as with everything else with my children EVERYTHING had to be complicated! My eldest couldn't tolerate ANY food additives without losing her mind. So homemade everything became "normal" and "mandatory" around our house. Freshie and pop were banned, along with chocolate and all artificial colours. Convincing grandparents that "treats" were NOT, treats, was the hardest part. As the allergists said, " the more they're exposed to now, the sooner the migraines will setin, and the more severe they'll be when they do. So far, it's my eldest that's been suffering the longest. Since she was 11. Her grandparents just couldn't grasp that her body couldn't cope with the chemicals of the food dyes. And so, consistently "treated" her to the exact things her "mean" old mother wouldn't let her have. Until the day her grandfather brought her home and I noticed she was again "high". Told her to come here, looked at her eyes, major telltale with her, her pupils would dilate, every time, they were.. .so I told her to run in and grab her jammies, poppa and grandma wanted her to have a sleep over... so off she went, grandfather is having conniption "we can't, we're going to a dance!" "I've warned you before, now YOU get to deal with it." "But.. But. ." "Should have thought of that first. THIS TIME, you don't get to drop her off for her mother to deal with. Have fun..." the next AFTERNOON, he brings her home, looking like he's gone through 30 round with an entire class of kindergarten students, "I see what you mean... we haven't had ANY sleep at ALL. It won't happen again." "Thankyou. I'm sorry it had to come to that. More sorry that its moved HER that much closer to her migraine threshold, but now that you're not going to be giving her any more of the garbage, perhaps it'll work out to balance the scales. "

I've been using pure beef tallow soap made with tap water for the past few months. Even less lather than your castile soap, but it cleans well and is gentle on skin. My second ever soap batch is currently curing, and is also all tallow, but has distilled water and sodium citrate so I'm hopeful it'll lather better.

The video is super clean. No useless chat, no noise.. The mearurements are clear. Filming shows the steps in a way you can easily follow. I made soap based on olive oil only using lye calculators. The problem with olive oil only soaps is that they are generaly slimey. You have to let it cure for six months or so. However if you add coconut oil to the plive oil, you get a firmer soap bar which is more practical and can be used in 4 to six weeks.

@maried3955 4 года назад

Yes, that is true but then it would not be a true Castille soap if it contained anything other than olive oil :)

Bonjour, je suis surprise que chez vous on connaisse ce savon et que vous le faites dans les règles de l'art. Effectivement le savon de castille est a 100% huile d'olive, sans parfum quelconque, et il est saponifié à froid. Le savon de castille comme le savon de Marseille n'a pas une appellation contrôlé et tout le monde peut faire n'importe quoi en disant que c'est du castille. Là bravo Madame, du beau travail! Pour info, on dit que le savon de castille doit sécher au moins 9 mois. J'adore ce savon et je l'utilise pour tout: À la salle de bain : Shampoing doux, hydratant et réparateur pour tout type de cheveux (les rend plus soyeux) Savon corps & visage pour tout type de peaux, même les plus sensibles Shampoing antipelliculaire Nettoyant mains & corps antiseptique Base de dentifrice maison (à combiner avec de l’huile de coco, du bicarbonate de soude et quelques gouttes d’HE de menthe). Pour l’entretien de la maison : Nettoyant sols et autres surfaces (à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur) Savon à vaisselle Base de lessive naturelle (nettoie, dégraisse et purifie sans tacher ou graisser) Nettoyant pour carrelages de la salle de bain (en combinaison avec un peu de bicarbonate de soude sur une brosse à récurer). Autres utilisations du savon de Castille : Nettoie les fruits et légumes en cuisine (sans laisser de goût) Soulage les piqûres d’insectes (à frotter sur la zone et laisser agir. Rincer à l’eau claire) Antioxydant et anti-inflammatoire Nettoyant doux pour le bain des animaux de compagnie. Merci pour cette vidèo

Very nice soap, as I like with a lot of simplicity! I would just like to know the percentage of essential oils according to the weight of olive oil, and also to know if you have mixed the essential oils with the white clay before adding them to the soap? If so, is it effective to fix the scent of soap and especially citrus that tend to evaporate quickly? Thank you in advance for your clarifications and congratulations for the video, a real pleasure to see you every time 😊

@hollysoapmaking 5 лет назад

The clay was mixed in with the essential oils. Some say it helps fix the scent. I can't really say that for sure, but I do it mainly for ease of incorporating the clay. Dry clay just takes longer to blend. To calculate your usage rates, I recommend using eocalc.com. For this blend, I used a 3% usage rate.
