I made this soap for the 1st time a little over 3 weeks ago. I used sugar water instead of the malted barley. I cut after one day & just used a bar in the bathroom sink last week...Its a heck of a hard bar of soap, but it lathers great. You can smell the tallow, but its not overpowering. My skin feels great after using it.

i want to make this soap, i have dry skin and dove is one of the few soaps that make my skin feel moisterized. I wanted to know if after using the bar that you make does your skin feels moisturized or just clean? thanks.

😂 2 save money just buy the biggest pack of soap in these case dove unscented and grate a few bars maybe 2 bars.follow soap body wash recipe and turn into body wash once done add natural moisturizer gentle essential oils depending on skin tolerance barrier or sensitivity u can save bottles from previous body wash or even gentle dish soap

Now this is what I have been looking for. I love Dove soap. If I can make my own then so be it. I would love to try it and see. I think I would love the some scent, like Rose or Lavender too.

I make this soap and I love it, I'am a 60 old years and always use Dove and your soap 10% superfatting is great, it leaves my skin soft and hydrated as Dove. Now always 8-10% for my soap. I don't like the feeling 5%. Thank you very much for your time, recipes ect.

I have tested it and I love it way more than the famous maker's version. Huge bubbles :)

You are really the best soap chef. Hats off to you!!!

Ive never made soap before and curiosity lead me here, but I like how you broke down the ingredients in my favorite soap. I find your recipe interesting and someday Id like to try to make it myself.

thanks. I was wondering the same thing. I am also new to soaping this year. I love your videos! thanks so much for all the teaching you do.

Just viewed this vid and happy dancing. Thank you for breaking down the birdie soap ingredients. Handmade is far far superior and your vid proves it. Thanks bunches!

Your videos are so clear and easy to follow thank you.

Thank You so much, Teach. This is the only soap my Daughter-in-law will use. So maybe she will be willing to give this one a try. Will try this one for sure! You always amaze me with all the goodies.

You are an inspiration to so many. Thanks for your tutorials.

Awesome...love the Soap and the Sleuth!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Teach for another great lesson. Thanks especially for the ingredient analysis.

Thank you for all the scientific research you did for this video - great to have an alternative !!

Thanks Teach, another great video and another great soap. Thanks for all the info. Luv, Rene x

Thank you Kimberly

Thank you for the recipe and the video!

Thanks for the video it was fantastic. I was wondering if you were planning on doing anymore "clone" soaps? I would love to see a Caress bar video. All your videos are so informative and helpful, I'm loving it.

Awesome Cath you nailed the Pigeon !! lol x Mariella x

oh I have to have some of this soap!!! I am making my grocery list right now!!! thanks so much!!!

Great class! Making a version tonight! Thanks for the inspiration!

Sodium Lactate is a humectant; it is found in our skin's natural moisturizing factor. (in fact it is more effective than glycerin), while sea salt is just Natrium Chloride - table salt derived from sea water, so it might contain some more minerals than ordinary table salt.

Love this! Thanks a ton for sharing!

Keep in mind that the sugar will heat up the soap so keep it cool while it saponifies.

Love all f your videos. Wish you all the best

Can you make an updated video making Doves baby bar?

U are awesome!! That's what great teachers do....break things down for us to comprehend more on a leymans terms......2 thumbs ip

Cathy this was a great idea for a tutorial! It's such a famous soap and offering a natural alternative is perfect for us soap addicts. :)

Great video!! love it!! what about the Fragrance/scent? does anyone know how to make it smell like Dove?

This is a great video Teach... thanks so much. I wanted to try out the recipe but it's too small to see in the video for me and I didn't find it added to the website yet. Thanks again :)

I absolutely love your videos. I’m new to soap making and you explain everything so well.. just wanted to say thank you soap 101! Your amazing.

I'm new to soap making and I just wanted to say thank you! I've watched your video from start to finish the last couple of days and they have been absolutely fascinating and wonderful! I never knew these bars contained tallow. Can you suggest a good replacement for it in your superior recipe? :)

Thanks!

Your awesomeness is appreciated.

I've been trying to tell my friend that the dove soap is purely surfactants lol. Thanks for sharing! I'll add this recipe to my batches that I will be making this week.

Making this! My favorite video yet! 3

I'm in love with your brain. I'm not weird! Okay.. okay, I'm weird but I'm not dangerous!

What did you do to prepare the barley to make it creamy? Love the video! :)

i love it, thank u very much pls can u wright down the measurement

Could you use liquid malt extract (its like molasses)? Also how much is a good percentage to superfat soaps by, and would you say superfat a hair bar more than a normal bath soap?

continued: stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid; in soaps it works as a bar hardener, gives a creamy lather + cleans perfectly. Not saponified it act as an emollient and co-emulsifier. T.EDTA and T Etidronate, are not "the same thing" as you say, but do a good job here as a water-softener a.o. Opinions about syndets vary; but there are as many people hyper sensitive for those, as there are to natural ingredients like coconut oil or shea butter. But overall thumbs up for your tuts. :)

Welcome to our group! Lard or vegan alternatives would be palm, shea or cocoa butter.

Great one.

Any simple sugar syrup will work. Or you could leave this part out.

I just google substitutes on the barley malt and it shows that molasses or rice bran syrup can be used. So I have some molasses and will try that.

Thank you!

How would I adjust this to make a liquid body wash? It looks like a great recipe.

You are doing awesome. Can you please share recipe for Potassium based soap? I need soap for hard water. Normal soaps create little bubbles in hard water and stick to skin.

Just curious, how do you make the malt barley you used to make this soap? I'm interested in starting something like this as a project between me and the Mrs to share in a hobby and wopuld love to learn how to make our favorite soap which is "Dove". I would appreciate any help you can provide in helping us better understand how to make this soap. Thank you for your help.

Professor Soap is my alter ego (:

Wondering if you could use Coconut Milk or Goats Milk or Cows Milk instead of water in this recipe????

That was Great. Can any honey or any other sugar be used as a replacement for the malt barley? Because we are allergic to gluten contained in barley,

Catherine, be careful using the stick blender cup for your lye solution! I had mine crack and seep lye water all over the counter top.

Will do :}

The recipe shown in this video is very different from one on your website. please tell me how can I use fats shown in this video with other ingredients from recipe on your website. I love your passion and expertise. please reply soon.

Hi, I am guessing the malt sweetener is for bubbles. Do you think that adding table sugar to lye water would create approximately the same result and avoid having to use TD? I am not to keen about adding a heavy metal to my soap, but I want to have an almost identical result. Thank you for your help.

I can't find palm kernel oil.Could it be substitute with another oil or butter?

I have a question for anybody who's tried this soap and a lot of other soaps out there. Any time I buy "organic" or homemade soap, it leaves an odd feeling after rinsing it off, like the water is beading up on my skin and I'm now slightly water-repellent. That's the best way I can describe it. Dove is about the only bar soap I've ever used that feels smooth and natural after rinsing off. How does this recipe compare to that feeling? And is there an obvious reason why this soap would differ from most other bar soaps I've tried? Thanks!

The synthetic detergents in Dove and other commercial bars is what causes water to sheet off your skin. Those detergents also strip the natural oils off your skin, usually requiring you buy and use another moisturizing product. Handmade soap retains all the natural glycerin created in the saponification process. Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it attracts water to itself. When you use handmade soap, the glycerin can create the feeling you describe because it's attracting moisture in the air to your skin. I've found it's most noticeable with soft water.

In the past few months of making my own soap I've experienced what you describe firsthand. Essentially, homemade soap leaves "soap scum" which is good for your skin and a bit hydrophobic due to the presence of oils and glycerin. It's funny that bars like Dove boast about having no soap scum...yet that's kind of the best part of actual soap.

Does this recipe actually clean off dirt well without the surfactants?

Nice!

Does this need to mature before use? If so... for how long?

April Virgil I've seen a floating soap recipe using lard. The trick was to use a mixture which freezes at a high enough temperature that it would trap air you whipped into the saponifying mixture. Ivory's scented mostly w lemongrass & lemon.

How much malt do you add to this? I never used it before

If substituting lard for beef tallow what is the lye amount to use?
