I have been watching soap tutorials for a while now, and when I searched DIY soap, I don't think your videos ever came up. You came up in my feed yesterday. It's funny how UA-cam's algorithm is because of all the videos that I've watched, yours are the best by far. I wish you had come up in my first search months ago, because this is the first time I've felt, "I can do this." The scents, the ingredients, the suppliers, your way of explaining - Top Notch. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Hi . I am a professor of chemistry. I really liked your honesty on detailed recipes and source of raw materials and detailed procedures. I wish you a good luck and more and more success. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your wonderful products, recipes & processing tips for your soaps! Am subscribing today, I'm so new to soap making, I'm doing my homework first before I try my hand at it. But I do have a history in creating hand & body oils, as well as balms made from locally sourced herbal plants, flowers, barks & fungi that contain incredible benefits for the skin, hair & nails. Some, if not most are all are safe to ingest, which we've done in teas, broths & dried or mixed whole into other foods for millennia here in Alaska. (I happen to be Alaskan Native, so perhaps I'm your first Eskimo subscriber?) My ultimate plan is to incorporate various types of crafts, hobbies, & possibilities of creative activities that include soap making, lotions, body butters, oils, candles, etc for a battered women's support group center I'm spear heading with other people I've lived with at a women's & children's shelter because of my extremely abusive exbf. So, we plan on revisiting alternatives for therapeutic treatments to refocus the mind. I apologize unreservedly for this comment being so long. Thanks for sharing & have a great day today!
I love it! my only complaint is that it's not edible😋. I started making soap 16 years ago, before people started getting really creative with their recipes. I'm back and excited to get back into the suds game. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I've been subscribed to your channel for a couple of years, was going to make candles then covid sidelined my plans. So here I still am 🤗
This the firs time I see your video, I love it. Mostly I’m locking for ideas to teach kids at the orphanage how to create income once they turn 18 and be on their own. I’ll look for the basic soap recipe.
That's awesome of you! I'm looking to do something similar with a support group center project for battered women at a shelter I once was at. It's incredibly soothing & centers the mind, bonus of the ability to make a living off of it if they so choose to. Good luck with your endeavors!
Banana is one of my favorite soap additives. Instead of putting them in the freezer when we get too many, I dry them in the oven for soapmaking. You can dry it or use it fresh. Fresh is amazing in melt and pour. Nicely done and beautiful soap :)Jen
Hi Jen. I've read that fresh fruit goes off in melt and pour as it doesn't have the lye reaction to prevent that from happening. How long does your banana melt and pour last?
Hey Jen!! I caught ya here! Lol Remember when we were talking about other soaper's using fresh ingredients...she made me think back to our conversation. It was a different soaper that I still haven't come across again though. These kinds of soaps are so amazing. I saw where you said we can use fresh banana in M&P?! Really, never thought we could. That would be a super neat video to do! Wink wink ; ) I would love to see more idea's with M&P. Ttyl Hun!! Big ((Hugs) xo
This is an awesome video and a challenge to take on! I love the choices you made and it turned out beautiful! I think you should do a strawberry and cream recipe and a papaya and coconut milk version to see if it works! I hope as your new soap cures it turns out perfect!
I have not added food products to myself in the past. I am curious about how well the soap keeps and stores after it is made with food products such as bananas and milk?
Hi! Love your videos and I love the way you formulate and the way you think about skin care products. I’m a soaper too and I can’t relate to most of the UA-cam soapers in terms of recipes. They use tons of artificial fragrance oils to tons of artificial colors that look almost toxic. I don’t mind using micas most of the time but my goals when I formulate my own soap are for skin benefits so, I love your formulas. This was inspirational to use cocoa powder and banana purée. I’ll give this a try in the next few days (I have my own formula but thank you for offering some recipes.) Please make more of all natural lines without artificial fragrance oils but more essential oils please. Muted mica colors are acceptable to most people who don’t mind a use of colors but I really don’t like artificial fragrance oils as I’m allergic to some ingredients (who knows what they put in fragrance oils..and it’s petrochemical..ugh.) Thank you for inspirational videos and I subscribed to your channel! ✨
Love your soaps... If I were going to increase the recipe say to a 5 lb loaf would I increase the bananas to 2.5 ozs? And Coco to about 1 1/2 teas.? Thank you
thank you! Yes, exactly, for five pounds of soap I would increase the bananas to 2.5 oz milk to around 2 oz and cocoa to 2 to 2.5 tsp. Make sure and decrease the base liquid when you resize this recipe to account for the milk, if you are using it. :)
New sub to your channel. I have been thinking about starting my own candle/soap business. I've made candles and soap for a few years now and family and friends tell me all the time to stop playing and start my business but I'm just a little uneasy about it. You make it look very easy. I will get there soon. 😉
Work isn't work if you love what you do! I finally talked my brother into opening up his restaurant & he's a phenomenal chef, always had loved cooking & playing around with different flavor combos or even different ingredients that make no sense together & turn out fantastic! I bet you'll succeed & surprise yourself! What's to lose, if you already make it? Try it out at your local farmer's market for a season & have fun!!!
Nice video. Iam new to soap making. can pour raw milk or puree at trace with water discount.. and can use explain about the iodine,ins,Linoleic,Linolenic,Myristic,Oleic,Palmitic
Great recipe :) could you please tell me how to wash all equipments after , I have tried before to make soap but couldn't wash plastic containers properly, it was very oily ,thank you
Love Animals I’m a soaper too and it’s best to let the soap residue in your equipment saponify for a day so the oily stuff will turn into soap after 24 hrs. Then you can just soak in hot water and rinse them off like regular soap. That’s what most experienced soapers do. Or you can wipe off the most residue with paper towels right after making your soap (do not let this go down your drain or you would be calling a plumber soon!). Then just hand wash them in hot water with detergent like dawn. Make sure you wear gloves when touching raw soap batter. Good luck!
My intuition keeps bringing me back to your channel for motivation....I believe it is time I get serious with myself and began cold process soapmaking! I let the fear of the lye keep me from beginning, but I'm going to start... Could you recommend the best place to obtain my lye solution...I had a hard time sourcing it in NC where I soap...thanks a bunch! I love using bananas in my facial products as it is perfect for those with sensitive skin🌻 I would say you send me some lye I'll send you some of my Bet on Me Banana Facial Scrubs as a thank you 😁 Great video!
Hello. You wrote 5.26 oz distilled water discounted from 7.26 and said lye and liquid weight 10.40. How much should we add water? 5.26 or 7.26? thanks. :)
Um if i did not know this was soap , just going off looks alone I would have assumed this to be cheesecake brownie ... that is dangerous LOL .... try putting that in front of someone who is hungry with no label ..... you did an awesome job
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany Thank you :-) think I will try this on the weekend. Probably won't come out like yours. Your soaps are beautiful and so natural.
Hi .. I'm new to soap making, and am wondering how long would this kind of soap that using raw fruit and milk will expire ? I am thinking to make one of these too. Hope you'll answer, thx
Hi, thank you! I have made shampoo from scratch using a cold process method, and like you, I am not a huge fan of how it came out. This year, I am working on solid shampoo and conditioner bars.
Elizabeth Mccarthy hi there, believe it or not soap is not actual soap without the combination of fats (oils) and lye (sodium hydroxide) and it is completely natural :) once the chemical process of the two compounds combine (saponification) you have soap. There is no lye present in the finished product. Lye all by itself is a caustic chemical. Most of the soap you buy in the store cannot be called soap because they are not made with lye. They are made with chemicals like detergents and foaming agents which can be irritating the skin.
Sunshine Soap and Candle Company thanks for the reply. Makes sense. Can you clarify what's in the 'melt and pour' soap bases that we get in soap making kits? Like 'melt and pour' goats soap please? Thanks!
This is to prevent soda ash or baking soda from forming on the top of the soap as it sets up. Sometimes this happens and it leaves a white film on the top of your soap, its not very attractive, though it is harmless.

Please can you give us a tutorial on how you line your mould and what paper you use? Thank you x
Looks terrific. When I get better at soap making I’ll try it

All you soaps look good enough to eat 😊
Such a gorgeous soup and love the colors and techniques you used. What a wonderful idea and I love the lather test too. Ty for sharing.
love it, thanks for sharing.
Hello, How did you line your mold with the parchment so perfectly? What do you use to keep it stuck so well to the sides?
Banana is one of my favorite soap additives. Instead of putting them in the freezer when we get too many, I dry them in the oven for soapmaking. You can dry it or use it fresh. Fresh is amazing in melt and pour. Nicely done and beautiful soap :)Jen

Sunshine Soap and Candle Company--It was amazing to come back again to see this creation. Well done Cory!
thank you for recipe 🤗
Do you clean all your containers and utensils in the sink with hot soapy water? Even the lye and water container?
Donna L Smith yes, then I run it through the dishwasher
Awesome job wish I could smell it!
Awesome soap! Love the bubble the soap made!
Awesome! This looks so lovely and great for your skin! Hugz, Tree

I have not added food products to myself in the past. I am curious about how well the soap keeps and stores after it is made with food products such as bananas and milk?
Theresa Beckman they last for about a year
A nice and simple straight forward demonstration. Do keep us up-to-date on how the fresh banana responds to your skin in this soap.
Elizabeth Adonai's Gems thank you! Will do!
Oh I bet this is so true and awesome to your skin! Beautiful design. ❤️

Hi. I'm new in soap making. Is there any expiry date for the soap if we use natural ingredients? Thanks in advance 😊

Reven Music yes, a little bit of water
Wow ,I need recipe por beginning,thank you,blessed

Just wondering what the weight of your fragrance oil is. Thanks for the great video
Does this recipe work if I make hot process ?
Nice video. Iam new to soap making. can pour raw milk or puree at trace with water discount.. and can use explain about the iodine,ins,Linoleic,Linolenic,Myristic,Oleic,Palmitic
How do you put milk in without freezing it I always freeze it so how come you're doesn't heat up or burn
Love it
Hi! Would it be possible to make this soap but glycerin based?
CS hi, no I don’t think I would add fresh fruit purées or milks to glycerin soap.
Great recipe :) could you please tell me how to wash all equipments after , I have tried before to make soap but couldn't wash plastic containers properly, it was very oily ,thank you

Very nice and delicious, but in grams, pleeease. Thanks for video.😊😊
I don't have much money to splurge on ingredients, do you think if I use just coconut oil and Olive oil that should be fine?
Hi love watching you xx what temperatures do you soap at? Great soap xx
Jane Mitchell thank you! I make soap at room temperature
Thank you xx
How much essential oils or fragrance are you adding? I dont see it in the recipe

Reven Music 5.26 is what you should use that is discounted from 7.26 because of the additives.
They look good enough to eat. 😋
I’m so surprised it didn’t accelerate. I suppose the soap always surprises me though 😂
I know right?
Nicely done. Been a fan of yours for a long time don’t know how I missed subing to the channel but I did. All fixed now tho🤗
Black Orchid Bodyworks thanks so much!!
Um if i did not know this was soap , just going off looks alone I would have assumed this to be cheesecake brownie ... that is dangerous LOL .... try putting that in front of someone who is hungry with no label ..... you did an awesome job
I would like to try this. What could you substitute the apricot kernel with ? I have all the ingredients except that. :-(
Barbara Ayala hi there! Any light carrier oil would work fine. Just make sure you put the new recipe through a lye calculator

Hi .. I'm new to soap making, and am wondering how long would this kind of soap that using raw fruit and milk will expire ? I am thinking to make one of these too. Hope you'll answer, thx
Hi there, the process of saponification is what preserves the soap including raw ingredients, it has a shelf life of about a year.
You are very talented. Do You ever made shampoo from scratch?. I try but don't came out good lol🤦 Can You make one? Thank You for the videos 💖
Hi, thank you! I have made shampoo from scratch using a cold process method, and like you, I am not a huge fan of how it came out. This year, I am working on solid shampoo and conditioner bars.
Not really natural soap if there is chemical in it. Is there a way to make soap without lye?

Do you still have this soap? Would love to see it now months later.
Mary Saks I have made this soap several times now and have it in stock currently in my standard bar size. It’s become one of my favorites
Chocolate, banana and milk? Does that mean this is edible?
Why do you spritz your soaps with alcohol?🙃
This is to prevent soda ash or baking soda from forming on the top of the soap as it sets up. Sometimes this happens and it leaves a white film on the top of your soap, its not very attractive, though it is harmless.
How long u make your soap to stay then use ?
