Soap Recipe Formulating - My Notebook Layout - Time for an update!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hello my soap making friends, I hope you enjoy this video demonstrating my basic method for formulating and setting out my soap recipes in my notebook, as a hobby soap maker. I am not qualified in chemistry or skincare formulation, I am completely self-taught! But these methods have served me (and many of you) very well over the years. This video shows how I do the manual calculations for citric acid in soap making, and brings together all the basics I've talked about on this channel over the years.
Keep your eye out for Part 2 of this series where I demonstrate making the 'Flower Soap' that I formulated in this video. It turned out lovely!

I got my degree in chemistry and am now working as a chemist in the pharmaceutical industry but I’ve always been so interested in soapmaking. This year i finally decided to go for it, so I’ve been researching and watching all kinds of videos. I loveeee watching your videos in particular because you speak my language! I love numbers and ratios and chemicals, it’s just how my brain works things out. Thank you for not dumbing it down; your technical videos make me so excited to make my first batch of soap! I’m still purchasing supplies, but it will happen soon!

Hello Elly, from far away Ghana in West Africa, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your videos have inspired me to take up soapmaking, and I've been at it for nearly two years now. I'm on retirement after a very active life and your videos have been a game changer for me. I'm so grateful. ❤❤❤

I print all my recipes off Soapcalc. I store them in a 3 ring binder in sheet protectors. I add notes before and after I make each soap. I cycle through a variety of recipes. I continue to experiment with different oils and additives. Like you, I gift my soaps to friends and family. I get their feedback. This is, by far, the exciting skill I've learned. I still get goosebumps when it's time to cut into a soap.

This is so helpful - all of your tutorials are clear, and I think you may be the only person who breaks down math in such a way that I don't have an anxiety attack! Always grateful that you share so much. Looking forward to experimenting with citric acid.

I thank God for how your mind truly simplifies complex configurations. I followed your instructions on adding citric acid for my laundry soap bars to turn into the powdered & liquid forms. They turned out perfect!!! Although my liquid laundry detergent turned into a thick white goupy substance, I lost my beautiful golden pourable viscosity, but it still cleans our clothes & dishes very well. I learn the "why's" from you, which I truly like knowing. Thanks again Ellie 🤓

Exactly the same with me too. I have a semi white gel of liquid soap from the making of your lovely easy peasy newest liquid soap recipe. But it is still very good, and easy to manage. 1-2 tablespoon scoops in the washing machine or hand wash bucket. I had to decant it from the gallon container to a 3L plastic tub. as it wasn’t pourable. Perfect. I wonder if it was because I added a little citric acid water to the water as there was none in the soap bar? I didn’t change anything else. Or the colder weather in the UK? What do you think?

I've not made the laundry soap yet, but wish to, and our house here in central TX doesn't really vary much yr-round from 16C indoors. Should I just leave it in an open container from the start?
Elly, I love chemistry so this is all fascinating. I wish I would have had you for my high school math teacher because I did not really understand math until I got a great teacher in college. You make this so simple and I love your laugh and personality. You are so relatable! Thank you for explaining all of this. 😊

Hey Elly! Wow, I finally got around to watching this tutorial that I've been wanting to watch. Just to echo previous commentary, you are by far my favorite mentors in the soapmaking world. I too love how technical you get in your presentations. Because that in all honesty is how my brain works: ratios = this, percentages equate that. So I for one appreciate your astute explanation of the citric acid additive. Finally, someone doesn't dummy down the explanations! You have always talked my language, but I really wanted you to know how much I enjoyed watching and listening to this tutorial. It feels to my brain the equivalent of drinking a perfectly tempered glass of water. The info you impart - always goes down so easily! Thanks again for taking the time!

I'm going to use a wax as one of my "oils," however, and am having a hard time because it's not in any of the calculators (bayberry wax.) So, I'm going to have to do all the calculations by hand. Wish me luck!
Thank you for this video, Elly. I learned to soapcalc from your first soap recipe formulating video. I've been making my own formulations since then. Appreciate your effort so much! You're an effective teacher 👍 This is helpful to me as well since I have never tried using citric acid before. I have it in my inventory but I've never used it. I will give it a try now. Much love!♥
