    Hi everyone, thanks for all the love on this VERY old video of mine (It was my first soap recipe on UA-cam!). PLEASE read the important information below AND in the video description box before you proceed, and make sure you check out my NEW BEGINNER SOAP RECIPE VIDEO! (It's a more balanced recipe 😉) ua-cam.com/video/lBc-dWQmFIM/v-deo.html*
    🛑 SAFETY UPDATE! 🛑
    ▶ Please view my new Soap Making Safety Essentials video HERE ua-cam.com/video/EZTsW9UvNmU/v-deo.html before you attempt to make soap for the first time.
    ▶ Since making this video it has come to my attention that strong alkalis (lye solutions) can etch and weaken glass containers (even heatproof glass like Pyrex) making them prone to breakage! I NOW RECOMMEND KEEPING ANY UNUSED LYE SOLUTION IN POLYPROPYLENE (No. 5) PLASTIC CONTAINERS with screw top lids - keep them in a safe and secure place.
    Thank you for reading - stay safe when you make soap!! 🙏

    Elly, thank you for sharing your recipes with us. I made this one and the carrot puree and turmeric hot process soap this past weekend. My house smells so wonderful right now. I live in an apartment so I have to cure my soap inside on racks. I started out making melt and pour soap about 20 years ago, and other bath items. I was always afraid to try using lye. I really appreciate your videos because you made everything so simplified for me. I have made the pine tar soap as well. Everything came out perfect when I tried each recipe. I have also created a couple of my own recipes over the past couple of months. I hope you continue to make videos for us in the future. Thank you again.

I have been gathering the supplies I need, your videos have been absolutely essential in this, and soon I will be making this soap as well as your shampoo bar recipe (ACV). Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times! You are just a joy to listen to and are such a kind and patient person; you make a wonderful teacher!

      Some folks just don't feel comfortable working with lye because it is so toxic if inhaled or can burn. Speaking of, I saw many posts saying to keep vinegar handy and apply within 30sec of a burn to neutralize.
      Logistically it can be challenging due to fumes/smell (e.g. apartment s and condos, or if you have slot of pets who would be exposed.
      Then, if you make large quantities for selling, I can see where folks would skip a few steps.
      But, all that said, I completely appreciate the amount of effort and the skill this takes 💯%💕 And the finished product is SO beautiful. I could almost feel the smoothness and smell the lavender 😍😍

    Thanks for the lye storage info, Elly. I made my first batch (your Rose Geranium recipe) yesterday and I set aside another lye concentration solution in a Mason jar over night for another batch (your Lavender recipe) today. From now on I’ll be using #5 poly.
    The bowl I used for blending the oils and lye solution was glass also, so I think I’ll look for little plastic buckets like you use.
    I just unmolded and cut yesterday’s soap successfully!...so I wanted to let you know how delighted I am. 💞Thank you again. I used a blend of fir needle, cedarwood, and orange essential oils, hoping for a Christmas-y scent. As I was cutting the soap this morning, it did smell lovely. So I’ll be trying my second batch later today after I get my dog home from the vet. Sending love and gratitude. 🧼

    Hi Elly 😊
    I am so happy! 48 hours after making my first batch of this lovely soap I have cut it. It sliced like a dream and is smooth without any gel circle on the ends.For my first cuts they aren't quite equally sized but I am sure practice will take care of that. The olive oil green colour has faded to a cream with a slight green tinge. Can't wait to make my next batch with confidence. Hugs!
