Thank you for the great video. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on this subject and creating this tutorial. What calculations do you perform to determine the amount of water needed to make Aleppo Soap?
Thank you for your question and patience. I run all my recipes through SoapCalc and do a 3 to 1 Water to Lye ratio for my Hot Processed soap. Some may say that's a bit high, but because I usually cook it for so long, a lot of that excess water evaporates during the cooking process.
Üzgünüm türkçe anlamadığım için ama tarifimi paylaşıp Google'a çevirebilirim. Aşağıdaki bileşenler ağırlıkça ölçülür: 792,6 gram su 264,2 gram sodalı su 1400 gram Zeytinyağı posası 600 gram Defne Berry Yağı Videoda kullandığım tarifin aynısı. Önce su ve sodayı bir yan kapta karıştırıyorum, ardından yağlarımı güveçte karıştırıyorum. Karışımları birleştirip 8 saat kısık ateşte pişiriyorum.
I agree partially. Cold process soap needs time for the lye and oil to fully saponify (which is forced by heat in hot process soap), as well as for the moisture to evaporate. Olive Oil based soap also have a much longer curing time for the gradual alignment of the chemical chains produced that will prevent it from melting away (as olive oil soap has a tendency to do). One way to speed up that process is to use prolonged heat and pressure. There was a study done in Japan about a decade ago that showed the process could be sped up. Now if we're talking about the Aleppo style soap specifically, the long cure is to also enable the oxidation that changes the color of the exterior of the bar from green to beige. This is a sign of a quality made ready to use bar of Aleppo style soap and can only happen with time.

Hi I really enjoyed your video and happy that you are interested in Aleppo Soap which is full of benefits for the Laurel berry oil. I saw a video for a Syrian guy making Aleppo Soap but he added the laurel berry oil as a last step. I am just wondering why. what Do you think?
I ordered it from a seller on Alibaba: Fuzhou Zhige Trade Co., Ltd. It's called an Acrylic multi wires manual soap cutter machine for handmade soap making tool. The reason why I ordered that particular one is because they can make it to cut a non-standard width soap. Thanks for the comment. I hope to record more old world soap making in the near future.
I just got scammed from Nature In A Bottle. They claimed to be located in France but was posted from India in a similar bottle. It was bright green and smelled like a cheap perfume and left a metallic taste in my mouth after smelling it. I had bought Laurel Berry Oil from another company before and so I knew the moment I opened it that it was not Laurel Berry Oil more like snake oil.
Great video. I made a couple batches using your technique and they seem to have turned out great. I used 70% olive and 30% laurel. They have the texture of traditional aleppo and also smell much better than cold process Aleppo. They are only a month old so I don't know how well they will harden up or change colour. I have previously made cold processed aleppo with 70% olive and 30% laurel and the final bars smelled bad like cigarette ashes. The cold process bars were also smooth and hard as a rock. I have seen a few other details about how they make this soap in Syria. 1) The traditional manufacturers use olive oil pomace instead of extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil pomace is thick and dark green. It comes from the second pressing of the olives. 2) I read here that 0.5g copper carbonate per kilo of soap will turn the outside brown and inside green. ua-cam.com/video/hJ26mahdkBE/v-deo.htmlsi=17MyQfEL-gwqFd0X at 11:01 on timeline. This is because the copper reacts with oxygen to help oxidise the outside. 3) The traditional manufacturers in Aleppo use ashes for the lye instead of commercially produced sodium hydroxide.The ashes are obtained from the charring of the Anabasis plant. I have not tried this because I have not been able to source this Anabasis ash. From what i understand, Anabasis plant ash (Salsola anabasis) can be used with or in replacement of lye as the alkaline in hot process soap. The ratio of anabasis plant ash to lye (sodium hydroxide) in Aleppo soap making can vary depending on the soapmaker's preference and the desired properties of the soap. However, a common ratio is 2:1 anabasis plant ash to lye. This means that for every two parts of anabasis plant ash, you would use one part of lye. This ratio should produce an authentic bar that is hard, cleansing, and has a unique color and scent. If you are using only anabasis plant ash to make Aleppo soap, you cannot simply substitute it one-to-one for sodium hydroxide. My understanding, this is because anabasis plant ash is not as strong of an alkali as sodium hydroxide. Instead, one will need to use more anabasis plant ash to achieve the same level of saponification as you would with sodium hydroxide. A good starting point may be to use three times as much anabasis plant ash as sodium hydroxide.So, for every one part of sodium hydroxide, you would use three parts of anabasis plant ash instead. This may produce a soap that has a milder scent than soap made with sodium hydroxide. That being said, can you post a link for where you purchased the Yedidunya LTD Sti laurel berry oil?

no need for hot process soap to be cured for a year
But the cold process have to be cured yes

I am just wondering why. what Do you think?
TFS…why were you continually stirring every 10-15 minutes? Why take the lid off didn’t you lose more moisture? Just curious 🤔
Good morning from London Mr Just ken, Please can you get me a contact information to order the soap cutter Thanks and have sub to your channel

Oh hell no. Copper carbonate is highly toxic
