Thank you so much, I've made soaps with the melt and pour methods for a while and wanted to move over to lye soap making. I've read so many articles that caused me to worry so much about this method. I've watched some clips but they used lard (I don't want lard) or palm oil (I won't use palm oil for anything due to the environment). Your clip is perfect, down to earth, easy ingredients and simply shown that this can be simple! I liked being able to watch the whole process and so now will buy the lye and a new scales and a blender for just soap making. Can I ask please? Did you use pure essential oils or fragrance oils? I decided I would like to use fragrance oils. Also should I wear a mouth and nose covering mask as well as eye coverfor the lye mixing? I thought I would have to mix the lye in my kitchen under the extraction fan with animals shut out of the room; or am I being too careful?

A soap calculator is definitely the easiest way. I have to refer to a book when I am trying to calculate a recipe manually. It is a math equation: You must look up the SAP value of each oil that you are using. That then needs to be multiplied by the amount of oil in ounces and then that number will tell you how many ounce of lye you will need. This is actually rather complicated and I would not do it by hand unless you have a very good understanding of saponification and superfatting. I hope that helps a bit, it's a great and interesting study!

@theeverydayfarmhouse8722

Жыл бұрын

Hi there, usually you cannot just sub in or out ingredients with soap. Different oils have different SAP values and qualities. Olive oil is a liquid oil and shea butter is a solid oil. Did it split in half because it was too soft or is it crumbly? You could go to an online lye calculator and put in the amounts you used to see if the correct amount of lye was used for the amounts of the oil. Any time you change the amounts of an oil you should always run it through a lye calculator to make sure you are adding the right amount of lye. Too much lye can also make the soap crumbly. I hope that helps!

Soap recipes are chemistry. You need to understand what each oil does and then decide how much (percentage of each) you would like in your soap. If you change a recipe at all meaning change the oils, the lye amount will change. You must use a lye calculator to make sure you are making a safe product.

You can put it in the fridge or freezer for the first 24 hours before you take it out of the mold, I usually do that only with soaps that contain milk because they can burn while going through gel phase. I think that is what I mentioned in the video. With this soap, you can just cover it and let it sit on your counter for 24 hours before you unmold it. It should be hard enough then to cut. I hope that's clear. Sorry for any confusion. Gel phase is your choice, if you are using any coloring, gel phase will make the colors more vivid. If you aren't using any colorant, I don't see the benefit of gel phase and I have had my soap overheat and crack when wrapping it in towels.

It's hard for me to know what went wrong. I just made the soap yesterday and it came out perfectly. It's of course not going to lather like a "soap" from the store as those have sulfates. My only guess on the oiliness would be that you maybe didn't get a real trace before you poured it in the mold? Perhaps the oils were not saponified? Again, it's hard for me to know without being there.

Trace is when all of the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is thickening. When you reach trace, you can lift the blender and the batter will leave a trail on top of the batter. It's thick like cake batter. I cut mine into bars and place them on end on a cookie sheet or a lined basket. You just need them to be spread out enough to have air circulate around them.
