You were sent from heaven. You didn’t have to do this. ❤

Thank you for doing a video like this. You've just proven that you dont need to spend a million dollars to make your own soaps. ❤

Hi Ellen! This video got me to make my first bar of soap yesterday! I was stuck because I couldn’t find the lye locally. Turns out, I was looking in the wrong aisles! I also picked up the glass measuring cup for my essential oils and the tea strainer. Great finds! I’d love to see more vids like this about budget equipment you’ve found. Thanks so much! I enjoy your vids!

Thank you so much! It came together so quickly and easily. Now, I’m itching to cut it...only 7 more hours to go. 🧼

I know this video is super old, but I wish I had learned about this when I was a teenager and was making my own deodorant, perfume oil and hair oil. I would have chosen to open a small online shop and sell handmade soap bars instead of college. I'm drawing, painting, writing and photographing now, so the artist and handmaker in me hasn't left, LOL! Thanks for sharing this! You're making me want to make my own soap and indulge in my love of soap bars, especially handmade soap bars!

This is why I just love your channel. You help explain great ways of soaping for the beginners. Bee Naked Soapery 🐝

@@EllenRuthSoap The essential oils are on the candle aisle and what you're referring to, not to use, is the candle or fragrance oils. But I buy ALL of my essential oils from the candle aisle! Wisk does not have an H! Soap has to cure for at least 4 weeks before using. It's still hot after 24 hours!

Addicted to looking at soap making videos.

My Walmart uses Lard. That also makes a great soap.

Thank you so much Ellen Ruth. This is going to be my "Return to Soap Making", after 14 years. I used soap making as a way to help me after losing my mom. I made tons of different cp soap, gave it all away then one day I stopped. But I'm back!!! I found you, with your lovely and generous energy. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe, taking us shopping and for the tips and tricks. See ya soon 💕

Thank you so much for showing us how to make soap from shopping to the recipes. The shopping trip was most thoughtful!

Thank you so much for all you do. You are wonderfully inspirational!

Yep, as a kid it was my job to stir the soap with a wooden spoon on the stove. It was poured into a big wooden box, put in the garage with a wool blanket over it. No such thing as a stick blender then. No fragrance, st it kinda smelled bad on the stove (animal lard) but smelled neutral when dried. We used to grate it for doing my dad’s filthy work clothes in the wringer washer.

Just beautiful, I love the natural rustic look. It reminds me of the soap my grandma used to make.

This one came up as a recommendation tonight and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. haha I am SO excited to go buy these common items from Walmart and make my first batches of soap. I've been looking at my cream and half and half containers for months and thinking, I bet I could use these for soaps or candles... and BAM!, you show me how!!! I am over the moon with excitement. But shortening, olive oil, lard, turmeric, paprika, etc., etc., etc., etc.,.... WOWWWWWWWW!!!! My eyes were popping!!! You are an amazing, kind, funny, thorough, and knowledgeable soaper. Thank-you SO much for all you share. You truly simplified everything in this video.

I really enjoyed this video while sipping my coffee this morning. I've been making my own body care stuff for over a decade. I made soap for the first time last year. This looks like a fun recipe, thank you for sharing all of you fun tips and knowledge with us. I ordered some fragrance oils that contain vanilla which will apparently turn CP soap brown. The additives you suggest should work perfectly, even the paprika. I think I'd enjoy spending a day making soap with you. I'm curious how hard the bars get and how long lasting they are.
