Oh my gosh!!! I have been wanting to make soap for over a year now but I've been completely overwhelmed trying to decide which process is easiest. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!

🐝 Full written article and printable recipe card -> bumblebeeapothecary.com/how-to-make-tallow-soap-recipe-diy-tutorial/ NOTE: The red cup is empty on the table and I do not have lye in it until I am ready to mix it outside, away from children and pets. I do not allow lye near my children.

Wow, thank you! I love your content.

Absolutely love your videos! Thanks

Hey Marissa! I just love all your DIY recipes that you share with us. Thank you so much. I was wondering if you could do a video on your cleaning routine when cleaning up from a DIY project like this? xx And can you show us your sterilising routine for your equipment as well.

I do love your soap recipes

Love this thanks!!!

Thank you for being an advocate for soap making with Tallow. I've only been making soap for less than a year, but every recipe I make has tallow and coconut oil. Any additional oils/fats are just experiments. I normally like to keep it simple with no more than 3 or 4 total oils/fats. My last experiment was just coconut oil and tallow. Hasn't been made long enough to try it out yet.

Hello 🙂 Can you use Lard instead of Beef Tallow, and would it still be the same weight needed? Thankyou.

great recipe, do you have a current link for tallow?

You make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing. I am wondering if all that oil used to make the soap contributes to clogging up drains. Hopefully there is some kind of chemical reaction (probably the lye) in the mixing that prevents it.

Hi and thank you for your wonderful videos. I have a question. I saw a video of you talking about some tallows don’t harden like others depending on where the fat comes from on the animal and I can’t find it. I have a batch of Tallow that doesn’t harden at room temperature and I am wondering if I am correct about you saying that? Thank you for your time and hope you are having a wonderful New Year ✨

Hi Marisa. I’m just finished rendering my tallow and I’m excited to get started on the soap recipe. However I noticed the 2 different videos you have for making this soap, with all the same ingredients, but 1 recipe is larger than the other (with all same ratio of ingredients). The recipe with 19.2 oz tallow should fit into a 2 Lb mold, what size of mold would the 24 oz tallow recipe need? I just want to be as prepared as possible before beginning ❤️ Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Would the soap turn out as nice and conditioning if we used Lard instead of Tallow? I can buy Lard easily and inexpensively at WalMart, and I don’t know where to find Tallow, or how much it would cost. Thank you!

Hi Anne, you can swap and change oils in a soap recipe but you must run it through a soap calculator because most oils react differently with lye, the soap calculator will work it all out for you 😊 one of my soap recipes is 25% cocoa butter, 25% olive oil, 25% Shea butter and 25% coconut oil, it makes a pretty nice bar of soap !

She just used the crock to melt the oils then removed it from the heat to mix with the lye. If she was using the hot process method she would have left the pot in the heat source until fully cooked and saponified.

Knowing how dangerous lye can be, I am not comfortable with a child so close to the process. I keep fearing he will touch the lye and I could not concentrate.

There were no children present when the lye was mixed with the water, introduced into the oils, mixed to trace and then poured. I love watching her videos and her sweet little ones help. Never have I witnessed any of them anywhere near the lye.

Talking about lye safety while bare legged and bare foot squaring over your lye bucket. Shot sleeves and shorts while making soap. Lye burns can be very serious. Skin grafts are no fun. Honey, you gotta do better

I came to the comments just to see if I was the only one who has a problem with the toddler who can't keep his hands off the table. He could get lye in his eyes. He needs to go

I worry about the child messing with everything, especially if the lye is near. Very distracting.

I'm surprised that you put your child in danger.. it's ok to tell them to leave while you are working with acid. However the recipe looks like a good one and i will try it. Thank you for sharing, but plz make your child leave. SO DANGEROUS
