Hey! This is Andrea from Summit Valley Soap. Welcome to my channel! I am a soap maker and I love to share my creations. I do mainly cold process soaps but may do a little hot process from time to time. I am a fairly new soaper so my videos are less "how to" and more "learn with me". Feel free to comment and ask questions. I would love to learn from you or answer any questions you have.

Recipe:
Coconut oil-80%
Cocoa Butter-20%
There are different philosophies on the amount of salt to add. I added fine sea salt at one third the amount of oils. In this case my oils equaled 450g so I did 150g sea salt.
Use a lye calculator to configure an exact recipe for your mold. My favorite is www.soapcalc.net/calc/soapcalc...
I use a 33% lye concentration and 25% SF.
Supplies:
Windy Point Salt Water Mermaid Fragrance Oil: www.windypointsoap.com/products/salt-water-mermaid-fragrance-oil
Manual hand mixer: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
I buy my silicone spatulas, whisks and plastic measuring bowls with a handle and pour spout at Dollar Tree. They are inexpensive and work great!

Christmas Tree Farm Soap with an In The Pot Swirl
How it's so nice to see a video on this. Your soaps turned out beautiful!! I can't wait to make this recipe. I think I'm going to add tea tree oil and either colloidal oats or kaolin clay. Thanks again for taking the time to make this great video for us.
Just had to double check the water and lye mixture. Mine got pretty cloudy so I had to come back to this to make sure I wasn’t doing it wrong lol
Excellent. Thanks for teaching
I have used powdered sugar for years now that and yogurt work well with the ricing to stop happening. :)
Beautiful! Can I ask what you are mixing your colorants with? Do you use the oil that counted for the batch?
Yes. After I mix my oils I take a bit and use it to mix the colorants.
Beautiful. I love the combination of colours of the ramekins
I tested this recipe out 2x and had tons of tiny bubbles throughout the soap. I'm not sure what happened there.
Bubbles are produced by your immersion blender. There are lots of tips out there about how to reduce this. Since this recipe is so slow to trace, I can see how it would have even more because of how much more blending it would require. Some people approach it with different blenders and I recently saw where someone drilled a hole into their blender to help. You can also let the batter sit before pouring, bang the batter on the counter to bring the bubbles to the surface before you pour, pour over a spatula, etc... The amount of ways to combat this is almost endless really.
Hi! Sitting here surrounded by supplies. This is my first time ever making any soap, and I’m struggling with all the chemistry! How much essential oil would I add? I have 1 litre (33.81oz) of coconut oil. I have also read it’s good to sub 1-2 oz with castor oil, and I have also read it’s good to add citric acid, so I’ve bought these things as well, but I don’t know how much to add because I don’t really understand how to use the soap calc and I’m worried it will take too long to cure/wont set if I make changes. Do you have any advice?
Be sure to use a soap calculator so you don't get the calculations wrong. Most of them include fragrance. Adding castor oil changes everything but that's what the calculator is for. Citric acid is more complex and I've never seen a soap calculator with that on it. There is a formula for citric acid as it will eat up some of your lye. If you've never made soap before, I wouldn't start with citric acid.
AWESOME !!!🎉🎉🎉🎉Thank you very much

I appreciate this simple method tutorial. Will be trying!
So beautiful, Thank you!
Adorable. Love these!
I see your Etsy is taking a break, do you have suggestions for other shops that might sell zero waste dish soaps?
Informative. Thanks.
🤍🩷🤚 Hi SummitValley Thank You . Really Good recipe , wanting to try to make without lye or potash ... Fyi Your Etsy and Fb is Not working 🤍
Great video and you explain your technique so well! I'll have to make this soon!
Hey Andrea, i am new to soap making, and really enjoy your videos. Could you explain the oven process that you used for these? I detail, like how log how warm and with type of heat? Than you very much for your help.
Very pretty! Looks so real! Nice Job!
THANK YOU for the best castille soap recipe I have tried - turned out creamy and beautiful!
Well, thank Zany as this is not my recipe. I am glad I was able to share it though and you found it helpful!
@@summitvalleysoap6611 hi I did thank zany too but I would not have found it nor made it without your video so thanks again
My faux water was cloudy, but when I added the lye, it seemed to have something at the bottom, almost like the sea salt and baking soda multiplied and “reverse” dissolved and just sat at the bottom of the lye water. Is this normal?
@@summitvalleysoap6611 hi, I wanted to update you on the soap. Of course I strained the lye solution when making it. Because I can be so curious and impatient, I tried a sample piece after only four days. It was amazing with no slime and lots of large bubbles!
Can you add colloidal oatmeal powder without compromising the lather? What about kaolin clay? Thanks.
I have never soaped with kaolin clay or oatmeal powder. Do the change lather in your other recipes? If so, then I don't know why this one would be different.
@@summitvalleysoap6611 Update: I made it with sea clay and colloidal oatmeal, and it bubbles even better than my regular recipe after only four days! Thank you for your video!
@@LadyGozathat is good to know. I plan on using a fragrance. In the original recipe it recommends to use a flour or clay to anchor scent or even castor oil. I'm definitely going to use a clay when I make mine.
I only use natural colorants so this 3 color pour was perfect!
Thank you for sharing! How much oil , water and lye you use ? Can you please🙏 share i don't know how to use calculator
I noticed the DT white containers with the handles and spout don’t have the #5 in the bottom. Are you very confident they are still safe to use with hot lye?
The ones I have do have the #5 recycling indication. I have heard that some do and some don't from dollar tree.
Doesn’t everyone own a dishwasher nowadays? Makes this soap kinda redundant .. ?
It’s nice to have when you have a very messy & greasy pan you need to clean. Not everyone uses their dishwashers, you end up either rewashing some dishes or rinsing them off later. It does make your dishes squeaky clean. Just have to give it a try. Also works well as a laundry soap. I’m a soap maker and I make it too. I guess it’s a soapy thing for us. Plus the price is much better than the store bought stuff.
@@Southphxgal2023 thank you for this reply.
I don't! Just another thing using electricity, plastics, metal, etc. wash an awful amount of dishes per hand anyway, so I have a hard time finding the dishwasher useful.
I had been looking for a thorough tutorial for this for a long time. Thank you so much!! Excellent instructions and demo.
Glad to help!
Blessings to you from Corpus Christi TEXAS
Hi, thank you for the great video. Is it possible to get the recipe like in normal recipe way (not in % and such like?)😘
I've done Bastille soaps many times using Zany's method. They turned out awesome. I just used the last bar of a batch that I made 2 years ago. It was amazing.
Please, what is the difference between Bastille & Castile soap?
@@nelpe9703 Bastille is usually 70% Olive oil (at least) and another ingredient/s.
Mam which paper you use any specific name how it hard you are doing very nicely thanks iam from india
Anything will work. I like craft paper or scrapbook paper. Cardstock is too heavy. I've done it with printer paper but it is pretty flimsy.
Thanks immediately reply
Is it safe to use any container or should it be ovenproof like your ramekins?
Just make sure its lye safe and you should be good.
Thank you for this video! I don't understand it's not reaching trace fast like yours... I tried mixing for almost 2 minutes and it stayed liquid. I did 40gr of coconut oil, 16gr of water and 7gr of lye (I used a lye calculator). I'm new at soap making 🙋🏻♀️ I did my dish blocks with SCI and SCS for years but the price of those ingredients is becoming super expensive. Any tips would be super appreciated 🤗 thanks!
Ok...I work in oz so I had to go to soapcalc to check your numbers. If you use my recipe with 100% coconut oil, 0% superfat and a 35% lye concentration you should have 40g of coconut oil, 13.61g of water and 7.33g of lye. That isn't too far off of what you have but when working with tiny batches that may be the difference. What superfat did you put into your calculator? For dish soap, you want 0%. Mine hits trace lightning fast. Like...I can barely control it. I can't make a big batch and pour because it traces so fast. Another possibility is that your fragrance is slowing down trace or that mine is speeding it up. Every single thing you put into the recipe will have an effect. Also, what blender are you using? If you are stirring by hand it may take a while. Hope that helps.
@@summitvalleysoap6611 I did 0%, the same mixer you used but no essential oils. Next time I will try adding some and adjusting the amount of water and lye. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your technique - - you explained it perfectly! 😁. Can't wait to try it out!
Someday, I’ll write a book on how soap is made in Texas. A place where half of the processes you see on UA-cam don’t work. I.E. start with freezing water, because if you try to gel phase with a blanket or in a oven? You’re gonna get the San Andres down the center. This is a very cool looking soap.
Amazing
These really turned out awesome!
Omg!!! You are a life saver!! Thank you so much for this video
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much I appreciate you for this tutorial. You can use the hard stock or cardboard like paper for your labels
I made these and they turned out great. When doing a 33% lye concentration it came out to 118.6 grams of water for this recipe. Do you add the fragrance in in addition to the 118.6 grams of water, or include the volume of FO in the 118.6 grams? Hope this makes sense! Thanks you.
Yay! I'm glad they turned out nice for you. Fragrance stands alone. You don't subtract it out of your lye solution.
Hello can I use 2:1 water lye ratio
You can try. For me these setup really fast so I've never needed a water discount and I've used a lower concentration to give me some extra time.
I found that this soap reaches trace this fast if you add the e.oils vs. no oils (unscented) I’ve also learned that thyme oil is a great cleaner/degreaser, you should definitely give it a try.
These are awesome! Thanks for sharing! 💕
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
This is gold! Thanks so much! I’m gonna try it now with a teakwood coconut soap. Thanks again
Thank you for this technique..mine traced a little fast so I didn't get mica lines but, Still love it.. fragrance was a special request for my daughter..
Your work is gorgeous!
beautiful!!! Thank You so much.
Hey Andrea, just a heads up, I have tried to buy the handmixer through the link on your page and I keep getting an error message from Amazon’s “sorry we couldn’t find a page “I tried a search on Amazon under hand mixers but it’s not there. BTW I tried the oven process. I divided the same batch up into two separate moulds and put one in the oven. You were absolutely right, quite a difference in the vivid colour.
Hi Lynda, when I make these salt bars I stick blend the oils and lye water a tiny bit before adding the salt.. Next I add the salt and only stir with a whisk until it’s the consistency I desire for pouring into the molds. Hope this helps.
How long does salt bars have to cure before using? I read an article that suggests 6 months, and stated the longer you wait the better the the salt bar is.
Opps Andrea ... I just read your reply to Laura ...Thanks!
I am trying to come up with one similar but I want the peaks more rounded, like mountains. I'm thinking thicker trace, what do you think? Beautiful soap and I am glad I found your channel, the perfect amount of fast forward and real time video~
Thanks for watching! What about sculpted layers? It isn't a technique I've tried but its pretty popular.
