I love the hot process method but I’ve only used a crockpot in the past. This method is fascinating to watch! I had no idea hot process could be made without a constant heat source. Soaping is so much fun.
Hello great video I’m really confused tho Is see KOH listed in the description box for ingredients. Are you saying your book will teach us how to use NOH and KOH together in hot process soap to make the soap more fluid? Cause that would be soooo awesome. Thank you so much for this video.
The KOH is not used to make the soap more fluid, but rather to increase the solubility of the soap. This allows soaps that are made with a higher concentration of less soluble saturated fats to dissolve at a faster rate, which creates a faster forming lather. The recipe is formulated to rapidly create a full and stable lather. Although this is just an option and is not required. As far as formulating fluid soap recipes, we provide almost 400 pages in our book that reads as a complete hot process soap making course that teaches both classic and fluid hot process. Hope that helps!
You can certainly try it! It will provide a soft and mild cleanse with a more creamy lather compared to a bubbly one. I personally prefer my shaving soaps be made with an increased amount of potassium hydroxide for a faster forming lather and softer bar, in addition to more stearic/palmitic acid for a thicker and more dense lather. We have a 5-Minute shave soap recipe and tutorial that produces a thick and full lather on our blog, be sure to check that out as well!
They offer a little bit different properties, but sodium chloride makes an excellent hardening agent that helps with the phase change. You can use it at 0.2-0.5% of the total oil weight.

👋 do citrus essential oils work in hot process soap? Does the scent last like other essential oils do?
Thank you! That was awesome.

Thank you so much for this interesting video I have a question please can this recipe be used as a shaving soap ?

Is Stearic acid is harmful ? Can we use substitute
For how long will this soap need to cure? Thanks.
Hot process soaps still benefit from a cure and I recommend a longer cure of 6-8 weeks.
Please could sodium lactate be replaced by sodium chloride ?
They offer a little bit different properties, but sodium chloride makes an excellent hardening agent that helps with the phase change. You can use it at 0.2-0.5% of the total oil weight.
