I have been soaping many years now and I’ve watched a LOT of soap videos and these are the most beautiful and informative that I’ve ever seen. I love the calm serene music and written instructions as opposed to talking. I’m a full time caregiver for my Mom with advanced Alzheimer’s and some days are rough. I like to watch these before bed as it completely calms my mind and spirit. Thank you for such wonderful informative videos.
I love the no talking and just visual with the relaxing music. One of my favorite soap making videos. Something about music with only the sounds of what you were doing made this so relaxing outing me into a zen state.❤️🧘♀️
Not just an amazing recipe but even the presentation, detailed information of the ingredients - everything is fabulous about this soap. Also, Molly is gorgeous 😍.
Thank you so much for your video. I did a lot of research for almost a year before I began to make cold process soap and have been making soap for a little of a year now. The soap I make is good but I find it drying to my skin. I do have dry, sensitive skin from medications for s Kidney disease. I keep looking and trying new recipes to help my dry skin feel soft and moisturized. I love watching your videos, they are so calming and informative. Thanks again.💚💚💚
I’m sorry to hear that, It can be really challenging if you have super dry skin. I really hope you can find a solution that works for you! Thank you for all your kind words💚
Perhaps try reducing your coconut oil, increasing butters like shea and cocoa, consider things like lard, tallow or lanolin. Also higher olive and avocado oil can help as well as milks and purees. When I make my sensitive skin soap, it's only 20% coconut, then 30% butters, 10% lard or tallow (I like animal fats in my soap, just my preference), 30% olive, 7% avocado and 3% castor. Then I also superfat up to 10% and go unscented and no colors - I also use my herb Infused olive oils (like dandelion root, chamomile, mullein, lavender etc), I also add goat milk. I don't know what allergies or sensitivities you have, but this one seems to do well for my customers - I will replace the animal fats/byproducts with either more butters or bumping up the avocado and olive oil and using aloe vera or purees for a vegan friendly option. Maybe a good place to start?
@@tellervo. thank you ☺️ my husband gets pretty sensitive during certain times of the year so I made this one too help when he's going through a spell.
@@Abutado thank you. I do keep the CO down, no higher than 20% and also used Lard. In fact when I read your list of ingredients, they are almost the same as mine. I am a researcher by nature and have studied and research what oil & butters do since beginning making soap. I just made a soap using Avocado Oil for the first time, so hoping it helps. Thank you for responding.
@@Sulambash she explains in the description. It prevents the soap from going rancid from exposure to metals in tap water. It is not a requirement for the recipe.
Your video is so self explanatory. You are an amazing person. I love the way you took your time to patiently answer each question. Thank you. Love from Nigeria. ♥️
I just discovered your channel and as most have shared, your presentation truly brings a tranquility to soaping! Also, I have been helped as a new soaper to see such a fluid, consistent pattern in your technique. A question, please- what is your process after soap goes into the mold before unmolding/cutting? All your soaps are completely uniform and so beautiful. Thank you for your sharing your recipes and look forward to soamping this recipe.
I'm so glad my videos have helped you😊 I usually do the cold process-oven process where you turn on your oven to the lowest setting, put your soap in there, turn the oven off after 1+ hours and leave the soap in over night. This creates a nice, warm environment for the soap.
This soap recipe is nouishing and very happy with results!! Until I found your recipes, the several soap batch recipes I used from 2 different soap classes I took, none of them felt nourishing or left my skin feeling emollient. Great soap recipe!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge through these beautiful videos. I am curious to know if adding fresh fruit to soap increases the risk of fungal and/or bacterial growth on it. Usually the high pH of soap prevents microbial growth, but I'm not sure if that's the case when fresh fruit is used as an additive. Have you ever had mouldy soap?
Thank you for your lovely video. May I ask you how to calculate the weight of avocado (or something else - such as carrot, pumpkin etc) into our batch? because I do not have exactly the same oil or butter as yours so I have to adapt the recipe according to what I have. Thank you in advance.
Thanks so much for sharing recipe. Soap looks gorgeous & spa like 😍. May I know if you use water discount for the avocado purée? Just wonder if the avocado purée would discolour / turn brown after curing 5-6 weeks? Would be sad if it looses the lovely calm green color.
I made this soap two days ago, first homemade soap I’ve ever made. It went…really bad 🤣 I don’t know if my temperature was too high (31 for both lye and oils) or I blended it too much or it was the essential oil and fragrance oil that I added but it hardened really quickly, I couldn’t pour it. I had individual moulds ready, however it was almost impossible to pour it. I managed to pour in two moulds and I left the rest of it in the pan. Yesterday I grated all of it and put it on bain marie (double boiler) with some water. It melted nice and I blended it again, really cool, it looked like in your video, I managed to pour it into moulds without problems. However, this morning it’s still soft in moulds, like mashed potatoes 🤣🙈 What did I do wrong, was I supposed to leave it on double boiler for longer? Was it too much water? What can I do with it now? Can I re-re-batch it and leave it on heat for longer? I’d really appreciate some tips. The moulds I used are different sizes, some are really tiny, I don’t even know how to take it out from those … 🤦♀️
i add avocado , goat milk and honey in 80% of my soaps . Have you tried to use the whole avocado ? the half part with shell as well ? it gives you a nice exfoliatinc soap-i love it !!!!
@@tellervo. I mix half avocado or whole avocado depending on amount of oils- I mix with stick blender both the fruit and shell in the same time until everything is mixed well , I add goat milk and I mix with oils; the soap will have very small brown spots but is not DOS it is the shell and is really a good exfoliator, if you add color it can be very cute- please try! Good luck 😊
Do you not use any left over lye particles in strainer, I thought it be necessary for it all to be dissolved. I realise it is hard to get it 100% dissolved Beautiful Recipe I will make this so very grateful 💚
Bonjour, après avoir mis ton savon dans ton moule, où mets-tu ton moule avant de le démouler? Dans des couvertures? Dans un endroit chaud ? Ou juste sur le comptoir?
Thank you for a lovely, informative video! I’m new to soap making and understand how to resize the batch based on the % you have provided; however, how do you resize the additives; specifically, the avocado?
Do you replace any of your water with the avocado or just use approx. 1/3 of the water weight as your measurement for the puree? Awesome vids! @@tellervo.
@@SassySami2020it would be replacing. The additives have water, but also if you added it without it replacing the water it would increase the batch by a lot and not fit the mold
Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I will try it today. This is what I looking for.....could you tell me please, the 1/2 tsp TD and 1/8 green oxide how many grams they are? Sorry my english is not so good.....thank you in advance 🥰🤩Marie
Hi. I luv your videos which really simple & easy to follow ❤️. Can u please tell how much puree in percentage (avocado/pumpkin/papaya etc) is added into PPO plz? Thank U
That look on Molly's face 😃 I really liked this whole video, the music was pleasant as well and not too loud. How did you keep your soap warm overnight if I may ask? Did you have it in a box with towels or on a heating pad as some folk do? A question, would replacing some of the water with frozen Aloe Vera juice make a difference to the overall soap? I need to get more ingredients for making this.
Hehe🐶 Thank you! I like to put my soap in the oven on the lowest setting for a few hours and then just leave it in there with the oven turned off to keep it warm, but your suggestions might work just as well. For the aloe vera, I have only made soap with the gel, but I think it makes a difference in the soap. It feels nice and slippery, I think I can detect a gel like feeling in the lather🙂
Thank you so much this video was extremely informative. I am not a Formulator and have only made MP....I have shied away from learning measurements and use of percentages. However this video has made me think a little differently and that I can do this. Thank you!🤎🥰👍🏽👍🏽
Believe me I feel this recipe is so good that you fell you want to eat it. Thank's for sharing I will give a try no to eat it but enjoying in my baths 😆
hello @tellervo, I love the way you explain everything in soap making. I like your every videos. I want to if we need to keep this soap for 30 days for saponofiaction and for how long we can use them (shelf life)?
Hi , many have advised me not to use fresh fruit or juice or honey onto soap making as the lye would destroy all the nutrition in it . As this it would be a waste. What is your opinion on it since you used fresh fruit

Hey did you measure out the avocado when adding to oils or no need to do that, I can add as much as I want?
I’m a huge fan of rustic & simple soaps. Much beauty in Simplicity. Thank you for sharing 😀

Thank you for sharing. I love the end, when Molly approved the soap. Blessings.

Thanks for the video it’s amazing, my only question is will the soap have the same shelf life when using raw avocado? Thanks ahead

Thank you soo much sharing us with all measurements 👍🏻
Oooo soooo beautiful!
Nice. Thank you🌹❤

Absolutely beautiful. ✨💜
Thank you so much🥰
Ma'am why checked temperature of lye solution and the oil solution seperately?? What's the reason? plz tell.
Thank you so much! 🫶
Is there another name for the “green oxide” because when I Google search it shows cement oxide, is that what you used? Love your videos btw
Very informative and relaxing to watch. Thankyou very much for sharing 💐💐 cute dog too 🍖 🍖

Can you add stearic acid to these recipes to make the soap more solid? How much can add to this recipe?
Love this soap recipe, but does the avocado go rancid in the soap?
As long as it's well blended, no :)

Lovely soap, looks beautiful. If like to know why you add citric acid to your soap
Thank you! Please check the description box.
Could you tell me while adding fresh avocado I should reduce the water amount or not?
So all those chemicals are healthy for the skin
Want to say that I love this video… thank you! About the ingredients.. can I mix and match different oils. Does it have to add up to something
Thank you! Yes but you have to use a lye calculator for the correct quantities
Wow wow wow so relaxing
I think I will try this with hot processed soap. Thanks
Great🥰
Hey i was wondering is it good to use as a face wash ? And for dry skin ?
What about contamination?? When we use the soap ..because there is something organic..won't the soap get rotted??
hello @tellervo, I love the way you explain everything in soap making. I like your every videos. I want to if we need to keep this soap for 30 days for saponofiaction and for how long we can use them (shelf life)?
I recommend curing for 4-6 weeks. Shelf life depends on the oils used🙂
@@tellervo. if we use coconut and olive oil will it last for 1 year?
Hi , many have advised me not to use fresh fruit or juice or honey onto soap making as the lye would destroy all the nutrition in it . As this it would be a waste. What is your opinion on it since you used fresh fruit
How long will this soap last before the avocado pulp starts to breakdown? I suspect there will be discoloration and change in the scent too?
It does not break down in a high pH environment
All beautiful, thanks for the video. Just curious, why do you add the avocado oil to melt with the others?
Thank you, that's just the way I wanted to do it🙂
Can you freeze the avocado till ready for use?
