Thank you for sharing. I also do not use Palm oil in my recipes so instead I substitute it with shea butter and cocoa butter. If a recipe calls for 20% palm oil, I use15% shea and 5% cocoa butter to make up the 20%. Hope this helps whoever is averse to using palm oil. Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa

I really enjoyed watching this! A lot of the KZread channels don't actually show step by step how to do it......they just show how they do it with no instruction or ingredients. Much appreciated.

So as a chemist I would recommend to, out of safety just buy a beaker to do this instead of glass, or labeling the glass. Making soap is a very easy reaction theoretically you are just making salts out of the oils. Great video! I love that you mentioned the properties of different oils

Hasn’t melt and pour gone through the saponification process? Maybe it should be called “Designing Soap”if some of the people are offended that it is called soap making. I have seen some beautiful soap made with melt and pour and I would say it takes some talent to create those beautiful soaps. My question is why get offended over such a thing?

Not an expert here at all, but I've made soap and have ones that are 2 or so years old that are completely fine. If they have a lot of pigment (coloring) then you may notice a slight discoloration over time, it really depends on what you use to add color. I also spray them with alcohol once they set up and cure, which seems to help with color integrity over time.

That Barrel in front of you bothers me a lot. But great video. Very informative. Thanks

Wow! This sounds do-able. Great video... now to gather the ingredients! Thank you so much!

OMG. I don't know how, but you are great at explaining everything. I felt like I know how to do it already and I don't even any ingredients. This video was amazing. 👏👏👏👏 great job! Keep it going.

One thing no one has mentioned is the cooking utensils used. In plant dyeing you have to keep a separate set so no one potentially eats off of something. Is that true for soap making as well? The spoons, cups, immersion blender and pots would all need to be kept separate and marked in that case..

Just a comment for future videos -you have that 5 gallon bucket of coconut oil right in front of you BETWEEN your camera and the viewer and it is super distracting. Maybe check what the viewer is seeing before you start taking the video -because the top of the 5 gallon bucket in the way of seeing what you are showing is caused me to stop watching. Ugh!
