Hi everyone! I think when I make this soap again (high shea butter is my dry skin's favorite), I may try using 90% shea butter and 10% coconut oil (since the coconut oil was the only real lather producer I added). I included the olive oil just to have a liquid oil in the mix, and the cocoa butter was added for hardness (and because I really like it in soap). I was asked by a couple of people if the shea butter scent lingered in the soap. I mentioned this in the video, but, even after 9 weeks, I can still smell the shea butter. If you were going to add a fragrance, it might interfere with the scent somewhat. I did use unrefined shea butter, though. Oh, one more thing, I don't detect any cocoa butter scent after the cure, in case you're wondering about that. Hope you're all doing well! -Holly :)
You CAN buy indécentes shea butter, but by then I'd think most of thé bénéficia péripéties would have been steppes out as Well.. i'd either work soubrette naturel scent. Its NOT THAT bad!
I think your name is Holly? Your lessons are amazing especially you voice is so unique calming and soothing to anyone ears. Plus that music seems like a Christian hymn from Hill songs and your soap recipes seems to be too luxurious 60% Shea Butter & expensive soaps. I will try to make 60% Shea Butter & see. Because I always use 30% only Plus A Trillion thanks for your video & lessons … Keep looking forward for more luxurious soaps lessons 😊
Beautiful result. Thanks so much for the super video and sharing your knowledge. Your videos instill a large amount of confidence in those of us who are still new to soap making.
I tried this - thank you very much. I live in Guatemala with my husband. We are missionaries. I brought some Shea butter back from our latest visit to the states. It is an excellent soap for my rough hands. Again thank you very much.
thank you very much, soaps with shea butter are delicate for our skin, please explain slowly which allows me to understand, i will try, have a nice day❤️❤️❤️
@@hollysoapmaking No... Thank you! I'm going to try this recipe tonight. I've never worked with high amounts of Shea butter before, so it should be interesting.
I made this! It was so much fun! I think I messed up by letting it go too far past trace when mixing, but it's still useable and so luxurious on my skin! My man LOVES this soap!! THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you for the recipe as a beginner Other video confuse me 😢 Your explain it so calmly and easy. I’m so excited to try this for my family. I want to start making soap for them since now. I am at home. Thank you again ❤❤
I have not tried a soap with any type of butter over 60% in the recipe. It looks super creamy and luxurious! I have been a big fan of your videos since I have discovered your channel! Love everything you do!
I have been using shea butter in my soaps since 2001. I currently make a palm free recipe with shea butter and I love it. It has such a wonderful, creamy lather. I am not missing the palm at all.
Do you use full shea butter to replace the palm oil? I am new to soap making and would like to avoid lard and palm and was hoping I could use that as a replacement but many places say max 15% shea butter and most of the palm recipes I see are 20-25% palm. I was thinking of doing a 15% shae/5-10% cocoa for replacement in these recipes.
I've read all over the internet not to use more than 15-20% butters in CP soap because of cracking, but you've proved this totally wrong. I've used butters up to 30% with no cracking but have dialed it back to 20-25%. I don't use palm oil, lard, or any animal products so to increase hardness and longevity I use more butters. Kokum butter is very nice and I use it instead of cocoa butter because it won't clog pores. Thank you for a great video. And I agree with another user that your video is extremely relaxing to watch.
I love this recipe! I was glad to see a video where I could tell what was happening with the trace as that is so hard to get on camera. Would love to try this recipe, but didn't see the amount of lye and water. So I'm taking that as we should just enter this into the lye calc ourselves?
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your experience and recipe plus results. I could sit and listen to you for hours Holly you have a voice which is so relaxing, and reminds me of Dolly Parton, no offence but I love listening to her too. Again thank you I will be trying this soon. Take care.
Thank you Holly for sharing your extrensive knowledge on cp soapmaking, it's a creamy gorgeous soap. I am gonna try this for my extremely dry and highly sensitive skin, by replacing 5% of cocoa butter with castor oil, with lil honey as additive.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in Soap making I am a fan of Shea butter…only a question; Is it possible to add at some point during the melting process a few drops of essential oils?
I just used this soap this morning after a two week cure...it is the most wonderful bar of soap ive ever used. i never thought anything could top tallow in soap and this shea butter bar is absolutely wonderful. Nice thick, dense suds and it felt amazing using. I need to make more!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I made an 80% Shea Butter, 10% Coconut Oil & 10% Castor oil soap after watching your 100% Shea Butter soap video. It’s really nice & luxurious
Hi, thank you for this. Would love to make it but would like to add some fragrance oil. Could I just add some? And how much please? Or would it affect the whole recipe? Thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing this formula! I love making soap with different butters as well. Did you put your acrylic soap mold in the oven as is or did you cover it with something to prevent heat damage?
Hi.. I tried soap making but when ever I use shea butter it gets thick so fast even after heating it for multiple times and my soap batter ends up so thick and it never came out as I expected. Can you suggest me what can I do for this.

Hi a Holly I need your help I would love to make my own, but not sure how to calculate the oil batch. Please

I just did this soap - but bumped the Shea to 65% instead of 60%. I also added lavender EO. It’s in my oven now, can’t wait to unmold tomorrow 😊
How did this go for you?
Please how many gram of Lye and water I will use. Thanks
If you key it into soap calc, it will tell you@@aderonkeodedeji9331
Very nice soap
Hola, buen día 🌷. Agradecida por la receta.
Me encantan sus videos tan pulcros.
Y qué jabones 🤩!!!
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽♥️
Love this. What can I use instead of cocoa butter?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in Soap making I am a fan of Shea butter…only a question; Is it possible to add at some point during the melting process a few drops of essential oils?
Hello,loved this video.Can I use this soap on my face
Super awesome. How do you clean or dispose of the key water supplies? Do they have to sit and wait to be cleaned or can be cleaned right away?
You're amazing!!! 🙌❤
Awww, thank you so much!! 💕
Thank you for sharing
Had a go at making this today. Can’t wait to use it! How long do you suggest for curing after its cut?
I use vegetable shortening to give my soap extra lather. Especially when im using high amounts of Shea butter .
Hi ! Do you have a video where you explain how to measure essential oils ??
Gorgeous 💓
Thank you! 😊
Hi I loved this recipe, but I was wondering if you might consider trying a refined shea butter version as I would love to see that.
Hi! Have you ever tried castor oil for lather? Thank you!
How wonderful... and i have so much shea butter to use :)
I just used this soap this morning after a two week cure...it is the most wonderful bar of soap ive ever used. i never thought anything could top tallow in soap and this shea butter bar is absolutely wonderful. Nice thick, dense suds and it felt amazing using. I need to make more!!!

@@Mintimiruku6369 the soap has a lovely creamy lather
Buenas tardes Dios le, me podría indicar las cantidades del agua y la sisa por favor, soy nueva en esto y no entiendo muy bien 😅gracias de antemano 😅
Could I leave out the cocoa butter and just use a little more coconut oil instead? and then sunflower or avocado oil?
Good evening Holly. Love your video. Please can't see the amount of lye in grams. Thanks a lot.
Where do u get ur equipment and supplies. Very soothing video. New sub

Thank you so much! 💕
Very random question: What's the font on Soapmaking? Thanks and great vid!
Hii. Is it safe for daily facial wash ? 😊
Thank you for sharing this formula! I love making soap with different butters as well. Did you put your acrylic soap mold in the oven as is or did you cover it with something to prevent heat damage?
You're welcome & thank you for watching! I usually put the molds on a flat pan to keep them level. Sometimes I wrap it in a towel to hold warmth.
I enjoyed watching your videos. I want to make this soap, but I didn’t see the amount of lye and water.
How much lye solution did you use though
I want to make soap but i still need all the equipment and mixtures, seems like it's going to be complicated but still going to give it a try 🤞
Hi I tried this soap and as soon as I added the lye solution it started to get clumpy .
Hi. How long did it take to cure the soaps ? Thanks 😊
Thank you, always; for sharing.😘💝😘
Oooh, 60% shea butter. I had to watch this one:)
Hi . I am new soap making. And I am watching a lot of soap making with different ways. My question is why did you put it in the oven??? Thank you

There are spots on the body, itching and dryness For this, what should be added and how much in one kilo of noodles
DOES this soap have the same lather ability as the first time you used it Holly ?? Nice video
Can I replace distilled water with frozen milk in this recipe?
Hi.. I tried soap making but when ever I use shea butter it gets thick so fast even after heating it for multiple times and my soap batter ends up so thick and it never came out as I expected. Can you suggest me what can I do for this.
