Learn to make soap and you will never ever run out of it. It's an addictive process. I started learning to make it as a prepping skill and possible tradable commodity. I've actually turned it into a side hustle. One tip for the lye water is - measure half of your water weight as distilled water ice - and half distilled water. This helps keep the fumes to a minimum.
I've been making soap for a long time and just make regular lye soap with no scent and use lard as my oil. Always have vinegar near by when you mix the lye just in case it splashes on you. Great presentation!
I have never made homemade soap but It looks like it would be a fun project for me & my 3-son's to try. Not to mention, we live in unpredictable times & knowledge is power! Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I've been making soap for years, and while this was a good "starter" demonstration, it lacked a lot in educating someone to do this themselves. I was also very concerned over his lack of safety gear. Short sleeves, and he didn't wear gloves or goggles when he combined the lye solution with the oils. For anyone wanting to try this themselves, I recommend watching several other tutorials and learning much much more before trying this themselves. Lye solution splashed on the skin will burn, and in the eye, it can cause permanent damage.
@Maria Excuse me, but what is your issue with this video, or this channel? There really is no reason to be so curt and negative, and yet you leave multiple negative comments. So whats up and how can I help?
I began making soap last year and I would say that while this young man is a great entrepreneur and soap maker he doesn't excel at teaching. There were many things I would have included, such as how the soap looks at trace and how to achieve it by hand or with the immersion blender, that the oils and the lye need to be within ten degrees of each other when mixed, the fact that the clays affect the feel of the soap on your skin and they actually cause it to sit on the top layer of your skin temporarily which is why soap with clay is amazing for shaving. But it was a good intro, just not enough information to actually begin using only this to begin making soap. I for one would be very interested in his aunt's goat milk soap recipe and method! Thank you for sharing this perspective Kayleen!
Oh, you both were just having waaaay too much fun, my friends! I'm a peppermint...no, double peppermint kind of person when it comes to soap. Currently using the Dr. Bronner's liquid, which I also use in making my laundry soap. But I can see the merits of a more abrasive bar soap too. Fun video!
I just made my first soap last week and I’m completely obsessed! I can’t wait till mine cures so I can use it! 😍 this looks like an amazing recipe! I’ve gotta try it! ❤🎉
Thank you for your video. It was the Tallow that caught my eye. You've never eaten a french fry until you've eaten some deep fried in Tallow. True story. I've sent for the back rolls of pork fat I'll render down "low and slow" into the prettiest white lard. And when it's just about all rendered out. I pour everything off and then mash the rest of the hot fat for a browner, tastier frying fat. I asked for "Heart Fat" to render down into Tallow, ... for eating! But if it will be got is yet to be seen. I know, I'm blessed. Great stuff to know, ... Hmmm, My critique would be too many fancy ingredients. Hmmm, That Sodium Hydroxide could be weaponized, ... Have a great one.
I have been making cold processed lye soaps and selling them for over 40 years. Goats milk and cream soaps are great for your skin. It’s so much more cost effective and you know what’s in it. The lye cause’s saponification. I’m surprised that he’s not wearing gloves or safety goggles while mixing to prevent serious burns. I built my own molds and line with butchers paper very simple. Using your dried herbs in oil infusions and teas are a great way to add natural colorants and healthy properties. I love all soap types bar and liquid. Scented and non scented. I have many favorites lavender, lavender and mint, lemongrass and sage, frankincense and myrrh, cedar wood and orange, bergamot and lemon balm , peppermint, chocolate, pumpkin pie using real pumpkinoh just too many to list. It’s very addictive once you start. You will want to try out all types of combinations
I remember my mom making soap 70 years ago. She used bacon drippings and lye. It worked like a champ. The smell was not pretty. She didn't measure the oils or the lye. My favorite soap is coconut oil soap. It can do amazing things to your hair and skin.

Great info. Thank you. Sodium hydroxide (aka lye) many be natural but be careful with it on your body. No question you want to make sure the measures are good. Maybe some litmus paper too?
Which soap calculator app does he use? I looked it up but no particular apps reviews were very good. Also, how do you recommend storing the lye? I think this will be a great winter skill to learn.
Quick question: I never have caustic soda at home as I have no use for it. So if I absolutely had to make soap in a SHTF scenario, could I use household baking soda lye (like it's used to make pretzels) to saponify the oils instead of caustic soda? And if so, how would I have to calculate the amounts?
I don't know. That's something I may have to try. I use this website for calculations www.soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp Follow us on Instagram @bearbonenaturals
Tire scented? Lumber scented? You gotta try Pine Tar Soap scented with Cedarwood and Tea Tree EOs 😎(check out Elly’s Everyday Soap for a good formula).
I would ask to buy Your "Provident Prepper" soaps. I'm horrible with measurements and math and have super limited space for making or storing all the equipment as fun as this sounds to do. So get cracking making soap so I can bug you for some...haha.
I have watched a lot of Ellen Ruth Soap and Bramble Berry, both of whom show all the details, as well as Elly's Everyday Soap. Ellen Ruth posts recipes and encourages others to learn to do their own. They all are big on using safety equipment.
You went so far as to use natural colorants, why use synthetic fragrances to a “natural” soap? Or maybe you did and I misunderstood. And you both should have had safety gear on! 😮💨

@Maria Actually, no. Sodium hydroxide is a basic (as in pH basic) chemical, so the acidity of the vinegar chemically nuetralizes it.

This is one of my favorite hobbies right next to candles. Great stuff!!

That's awesome. What did you make?
Lye has always intimidated me this looks easy
Wear gloves and eye protection. Remember to add the lye to the water. Use cold water the first time.
To be honest, my favorite soap scent is unscented. I like unscented castile soaps and unscented oatmeal soap best.
I've used a piece of 3" ABS pipe as my mold. Once the soap cures it slides out pretty easily.
Thank you for your video.
It was the Tallow that caught my eye.
You've never eaten a french fry until you've eaten some deep fried in Tallow. True story.
I've sent for the back rolls of pork fat I'll render down "low and slow" into the prettiest white lard. And when it's just about all rendered out. I pour everything off and then mash the rest of the hot fat for a browner, tastier frying fat.

Very good demo. Thank you.

I love your show. Great job, and I can’t wait to buy some of this soap.

My favorite soap is coconut oil soap. It can do amazing things to your hair and skin.
Very practical and instructive. Efficient too!
Also, lye (sodium hydroxide) is the main ingredient in Drano and other drain Cleaners, so that you will have multiple uses for it.
I wish he would have showed us a plain old goat milk soap
I for some reason love the men's type soap. A good ,course and manly smelling soap 😅 I am female btw
My husband loves the floral fragrances lol I have to make him his own batch of some scents.
You should try some of our soap, and lets us know if its manly smelling enough for you.
Excellent idea!!

Goat's milk soap scented with essential oils is my favorite :-)

I do Kelly.
Excellent video

Can lard be used instead of beef tallow?
UA-cam didn't tell me about this one. They didn't want me starting my own Fight Club.
Expensive soap
I like sandalwood.
I would ask to buy Your "Provident Prepper" soaps. I'm horrible with measurements and math and have super limited space for making or storing all the equipment as fun as this sounds to do. So get cracking making soap so I can bug you for some...haha.
Way cool
I would like to know the expense for getting all of the ingredients.
Lye is dirt cheap. Your oil will be the expensive item. Lard is relatively inexpensive.

Glad your using beef tallow and not pork
Yea, self-sufficiency! Yawl go.
As a soapmaker for years nope.
You guys supposed to wear a mask 😷
You went so far as to use natural colorants, why use synthetic fragrances to a “natural” soap? Or maybe you did and I misunderstood.
And you both should have had safety gear on! 😮💨
I'm pretty sure he used essential oils.
