- Link to Part 1 (Making soap): • Making Soap
This is part2 of my soap series, where I'll be making liquid soap. If you haven't seen part 1, I strongly suggest that you check it out before this one. The major difference with liquid soap, is that it uses potassium hydroxide instead of sodium hydroxide.

Nile talks about lab safety: • Chemistry is dangerous.
Part 1: "I dip my hand in a base most people know for melting skin, nothing happened"
Part 2: "I washed my hands with soap, it burned"
part 3: "I start a Fight Club"
@Ghast505 its the water. all soapers know its not bad dry but until its finished "curing" it might be harsh.
part 5: making cyanide to poison Big Time Bruce so I can get out of my dept in prison
@@DAYBROK3 Mmm, nope.
he should added vinegar to cancel KOH , this is was done in old days
Still waiting for gaseous and plasma soap
i want my Bose-Einstein condensate soap
Cool soap. I like it. Edit: I wouldn't want my soap to defy gravity and just leak out of my glass tho.
where is my relativistic Pauli degenerate matter soap
Time Crystal Soap!
The Nope Engie They invented
gas soap in Germany in the thirties, and it worked pretty well. It was rather irritating to the skin and lungs though...
Anyone else just turn Nile on low volume and fall asleep because his voice is surprisingly soothing..
I go on to his videos and let him talk while I do work. It's honestly great
100% what I do!
Yup. (Though today I fell asleep during his making margarine video and autoplay meant I woke up as he was adding additives to his solid soaps and got *very* confused, haha.)
When I start to feel sleepy I play any random video of his and close my eyes. Works faster than white noise imo
when i discovered him, i was doing it every night for one month
So you are patient enough to let the soaps cure for 6 weeks, but so impatient that you couldn't let it sit overnight.
That sounds about right for him.
@@memberwhen22 I go to sleep to his videos each night, and have watched almost all of them.
Edit: I should probably mention that It's not as creepy as it sounds. I just want a voice that doesn't get excited, and is interesting, but not scary.

ASMR sounds much creepier than almost anything else they could possibly play
@@amberblyledge7859 im so glad im not the only one that does this :p
After watching this channel for a while I've learned it revolves mostly around one phase, "but I was impatient so I..."
You forgot : "and then I had to wait for _ weeks..."
And ‘anyway...’ 😂

@@JacklyCraft I so wanted to see that
I’m waiting for supercritical soap but alright
It's a MILD irritant. Nothing too dangerous ....
Now I really appreciate the soap makers.Specially the little business soap makers. This is such a tedious process for such a long time. I also now understand how expensive those are.
Have you seen Royalty Soaps? She makes soap and explains the process pretty nicely, she's a little happy and a taaddd quirky if that's not your thing.
Stay in Your Layne I love her!
Making GOOD soap is not exactly quick or easy. The ingredients aren't cheap and there is a lot of labor and time. This is why I have no problem spending a little money on a GOOD soap.
Just watch fight club if you really want to know how to make soap
@@RandomPerson-ek6xk so just use NaOH to turn the oils on your hands to soap and be done with it?
a rubber spatula is excellent for getting a thick batter out of a bowl, or in this case, soap out of a slow cooker.
there is a distinct and at times distressing lack of rubber spatulas on this channel
Poor brilliant chemist needs a woman in his lab so badly.
@@sarahmanier6782 xD i cracked up reading this its so true

Chemists: "please do not taste the samples"
Geologists: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that"
LICK THE ROCK, TASTE ROCK, SO THAT YOU KNOW THE ROCK.
Do…do geologists really do this?
@@naturegirl1999 yes, taste can determine certain minerals like halite (rock salt) or how they can stick to your tongue (kaolinite absorbs water when dry). However common sense needs to be applied when putting something in your mouth, as there are plenty of minerals you dont want inside of your body.
Don’t lick the AsS aka realgar

Just realized i wasnt the first to notice this
Ahhhh can’t unsee
I was thinking that too!

where is my gas soap
Idk
hey etho
where is my plasma soap?
where is my bose-einstein condensate soap
Muzik Bike ikr also where the fucks my plazma soap
My grandfather made soap for P&G for 35 years started as a soap cutter and moved up to a lab for quality testing he used to take me to the plant when i was a kid some of my first memories were at that plant watching this really makes me think of him
1:08 - "Olive the oils"
Is it me or I heard "All of the oils" lol XD
he actually said all of the oils.
it was a play on words, we know he said "all of", and not olive.
Demetrius Thompson lol
Samuraiwarm dumbass
Personally I would try and use an oil with a more mild color than olive. Something more neutral so that I can color the soap better and maybe less yellow.
L no that’s almost the exact same color as olive oil. I’m thinking something like canola or coconut. A clear or white color. The baby shit green color isnt pleasant to me.
Oh oh, dog oil is the best
@@iconic762 Lol the reason hes using olive oil is because coconut oil will tear up sensitive skin. Olive oil is specifically what soap makers use because it won't hurt you. If you want to make it go ahead, but your essentially making laundry detergent. Now, some coconut oil in soaps is fine, but you really don't want it as a primary ingredient. In this video, using excess coconut oil probably caused it to be way more damaging to skin than needed. The irritation he described at the end was certainly worsened by the coconut oil.
@@princesszelda6791 coconut oil is a very drying oil in soap. You can counteract that drying/stripping the natural oils from your skin by raising the super fat in your recipe. Super fat is free oils that have not been turned into soap. Making a 100% coconut oil soap makes a beautiful soap with a 20-30% super fat. When 100% coconut oil has a 0% super-fat, it makes an amazing laundry or stain stick. I hope that little bit helps understanding working with coconut oil.
@@brookemitchell7496 Yes, of course you could always raise the superfat percentage, but given that they are most likely following the recipe in the video very closely, using just coconut wouldn't work well. Even in the video, it hurts his hands, granted there were extra chemicals, but the coconut oil he used hurt him worse.
I liked that you explained the difference between the NaOH and KOH...always wondered what the benefits of each were
a lot of what makes commercially-produced soap lather is sodium lauryl sulfate its also what makes toothpaste foam because lather and foam means its working or so the marketing department would have you believe
Interestingly, having soap lather makes it less efficient. The bubbles require extra surfactant to be exist, removing it from the solution where they could be stabilizing the oil droplets. But I think the effect is very small, insignificant. Lather is something much more related to our perception of cleanliness and value for money (more lather -> more concentrated soap) than how well it can clean.
But every time I've used dish soap that doesn't lather well it was way more difficult to get it to coat the dishes properly.
That's actually not true, it's called capillary action and foaming soaps work at lifting dirt and things from the surface of whatever you're cleaning
@@well_as_an_expert_id_say I think you meant surface tension, it's not capillary action (although capillary action is also related to surface tension). I don't think there's any good evidence that this is true, it's just something that soap manufacturers claim. I doubt the foam in my dish soap is doing anything compared to me scrubbing it with a sponge.
Have you ever thought about doing a prepper type series? Something that looks at applying chemistry with fairly accessible ingredients (I imagine it would end up being a lot of green chemistry) to make useful items in an environment/scenario that harder to get chemicals and such aren't available. I'm not into the apocalypse/prepper thing, but I know many people are and in general people like to learn how to make things on the rough. Kind of like the How to Make Everything channel, I guess, but applying your expertise more. Just sounds kind of interesting in my head.
Noah Alonge If you're interested in that type of stuff Cody's Lab is a channel that's friends with Nile, and Cody basically does all types of survival stuff since he lives on a ranch and likes making his own stuff with chemistry and working with metals and such. If you haven't checked him out you definitely should
I second this idea. I don't have all this nice glassware but i'd love to try some simple chemistry haha
You're from Chattanooga, eh?
Some of these things wouldn’t be too difficult tho, like the solid soap can be weighed out on scales and mixed with standard baking equipment, only thing that’s not common there is the NaOH which isn’t too hard to get. Also with simple distillations I have an idea of how you could use household items but I haven’t tested it yet so I’m not going to claim it’s possible.
You are basically looking for an anime called Dr. Stone.
Your videos have been coming in handy lately.
I'm taking Organic Chemistry at the moment and the last few labs have all been reactions i've seen on your channel.
We're doing saponification tomorrow, hot process for solid soap of course for the sake of time, but I actually used some of the information you give to guide me on my Pre-Lab work sheet.
Thank you :3
i like the fluorescin part
it was so incredible random
omg yes
"This soap is nice... BUT WHAT IF IT GLOWED??" 😂
Gah. 6:00 reminded me of those videos of impacted earwax I somehow keep finding on youtube and watching for reasons I can't understand.
mmm tasty
trustthewater I thought of earwax, too.
or the candles on the tv show Father Ted. :-)
Gah.
Well, long chain fatty acids are the main component of ear wax. I'm certain that NileRed can find a way to turn them into fatty acid salts (aka soap) as well. And you don't even have to go through the step of removing the glycerol if you need industrial soap! :D
I know this is one of your older videos, so you likely won't read this, but thank you so much for making this video!
In it, you mentioned coconut oil being a common ingredient in soaps, which is how I discovered that my sister's soap allergy(which has gone unexplained for *years*) is likely just an extension of her coconut allergy.
Videos like this, explaining chemistry in fun and involved ways, can and *do* help people learn important things about the world around them!
Thank you so much for doing what you do :)
I know this was four years ago I've been making soap off and on since 1996 perfecting the liquid soap making process is very hard I'm finally getting there watching your video I just wanted to let you know I love the way you totally described Every chemical aspect and point that is exactly what a true soap maker wants and needs to know you did a great job if you ever want to attempt the liquid soap again I preheated my distilled water and added the paste to it and on a tiny tiny flame with a potato masher I continually work with it and put a lid on it and I had it totally dissolved within a couple hours without disrupting the soap product at all and I use citric acid to neutralize it came out beautiful
maybe do a video on how old fasioned blueprints were made. It was a chemical proces that resulted into prusian blue, it's quite interesting

Next episode: Soap flavoured beef soup using only a slow cooker and a knife
When I was in my late teens and early 20's I worked as a carpet cleaner using hot water extraction. What most call "Steam Cleaning" We had a rule that for every 18F (same as every 10C) you increased your water temp above ambient you doubled your cleaning effectiveness. Wow, who knew there was real chemistry involved there!
me: look, i made a cake.
NILE:look ma, i made liquid soap AND bar soap
Cake taste better
Don't feel bad. It is basically the same thing: one uses principles and a recipie and the things you make are not necessarly edible. The other uses recipies and the things you make are suposed to be edible. It is the same thing
@@Gnolomweb no, cake taste batter ;)
@@roberttomsiii3728 yes ple
@@tanabatagaming what a nice, supportive comment.
Your videos always got me curious about chemistry. I love looking up the physical properties of things like refrigerant when I recharge my cars A/C or what breaks down amino acids in the body when I consume a protein shake. Keep making awesome videos man.
You should try adding silicone oil(dimethicone) to your soap to make a super-modern moisturizing lather
When you said you want to insert some music i was like "wait, I dont even realize that you dont use any music!"
Next team up with Cody's lab and make soap from Cesium Hydroxide
hmmm, i wonder how that would be
Guess you would be radiant if u did it xD
That sounds like a horrible idea.

When making hot process soap, don’t allow the liquid in the container to go beyond the half-way point: when the hot lye water and the hot oils meet in a hot slow cooker, the reaction can result in expansion and a boil-over. If you see that this is about to happen, *IF* you can move the slow cooker to the floor safely before the contents actually make their way out, that’ll make clean-up easier; otherwise, LEAVE THE SLOW COOKER ON THE SURFACE AND ALLOW THE BOIL OVER TO HAPPEN. Clean up is going to be a nightmare, but it’s far better to allow the contents to boil over and not get your hands burned. The hot soap with its corrosiveness will solidify on your hands and do a lot of damage.
Don’t use wood, bamboo, paper, aluminium to mix soap; be cautious of thin plastics.
Do not use ingredients that are known to be irritating when making soap. Like I said in my comment on your solid cold process soap video, *you know this isn’t smart, but you’re not doing what’s smart. You have a responsibility to practice what’s wise for the folks that don’t have the common sense you and I do. Practice what’s prudent...not what’s possible. Look out for the folks that don’t have common sense or respect the danger in making soap. PPE should always be used when making soap: closed-toe shoes, pants, long sleeves, gloves with the sleeves tucked into the gloves, and goggles. Oh, and hair pulled back (I should edit my comment in your other video to mention pulling back long hair). Keep pets, children, and idiots away from you while using lye and hot liquids and heating apparatuses.
This is coming from someone who has studied soap making for ten years and has been making soap for six years. I also have a scar from a chemical burn because of soap making - I wasn’t wearing appropriate PPE because I got too comfortable and too confident in my abilities.
Given the virus situation, I'd love to see a video on how to make alcohol hand sanitser
You can make a green emitting soap laser now since you added fluorescein. You just need a pulsed laser pump source at 488 nm and a set of mirrors with high reflective coatings at 540 nm. Actually 308 nm will pump that soap too. Get access to a XeCl excimer laser.
in epoxy resins we use, the reaction speed doubles for every 20 C
I made soap in organic chemistry. It was pretty cool. I was considering making soap when the pandemic first hit but we already had lots of it, so I decided to make hand sanitizer instead, but I drank the middle part of the distillation and made sanitizer out of the heads and tails of the distillation. The only problem was that it made you smell like a serious alcoholic when you used it. lol
12:24 Thanks for the demonstration, but *please* turn off the faucet while lathering your hands. Maybe it's a European thing, but seeing all that water just rush by bothered me a lot.
It's definitely a European thing. Us Americans are just wasteful in general though.
"so we're back for part two of my soap-making adventure" sounds so hilariously sarcastic.
When you said "all of the oils," because you had olive oil displayed, my mind comprehended it as "olive the oils" and I immediately started picturing Popeye's girlfriend XD.
you're doing a great job.... please do not stop doing this like ever....
If you use cesium hydroxide will it make gaseous soap?
an experiment was attempted to make a cesium soap sometime during the early 80's, the lab caught fire but when the fire department arrived everything was clean barred from obvious fire damage and some dead scientists.
can you provide a citation on that? i want to read about the story. Unless this was a joke
Em Pru you posted this comment a year ago

Nice showing the glow in the dark bit with the water
How are clear liquid soap made?
Using colorless oil , maybe
I watched this video 3 years ago when you first made it, but I just watched it again, and the fluorescent green/brown soap gave me a flashback to the school nurse in my elementary school. I cut myself pretty bad in school, and she cleaned the wound with soap that looked exactly like that, before sending me to the ER to get stitches.What kind of soap did they have back in 1989?
Sounds like it might have been iodine??
Oh how relevant this is now
your final products look so realistic, straight-up home-made stuff ☺ I liked them except that the liquid soap was only suitable for dishes
Part three is required maybe part 4. You did solid soap and liquid soap so it only stands to reason you’ll cover gaseous soap and maybe plasma soap. Though I will forgive you if you don’t demo the plasma soap with your hands.
Would love to see you remake this with the addition of SLS for that extra foamy-ness! :D
Is it possible to do this without borax?
It's not available here and extremely tightly controlled because European Union
Very nice series! It's possible I might try to replicate it one day. One thing you could've done in a part three, was to do a bacterial culture test to verify the effectiveness of your soap compared to commercial soaps.
How can one improve the degreasing properties of the liquid soap?
Use dawn
I sometimes rub a used green tea teabag against greasy pans and it takes away a bunch of the oils. All of them if the amount is very small.
Use more coconut oil, but be careful, it isn't great for your skin.
@@princesszelda6791 I am assuming that everything you do to a soap to make it degrease better, will make it worse on the skin *for exactly that reason*
@@oscargr_ Generally yes, I tend to make a soap out of all coconut oil for use as a household cleaner, and I use some olive oil and less coconut oil for a hand soap, and all olive oil for face soap. There are a few techniques you can use to make a stronger soap better for the skin, superfatting for example will help a stronger soap be better for your skin, which is where you use more oils than can be saponified. I would recommend using hemp oil and jojoba oil if you're planning to superfat. Ultimately, you kind of have to experiment with what oil ratios that you like. I would recommend making a few varieties for different tasks, that way you can get a really strong degreaser for things like dishes, and something gentler for your hands. Also, i don't remember if he does it in the video, but using glycerin as well as water to react with the hydroxide can help with the cleaning action as well as the gentleness. Also, you need to react the hydroxide with the water outside or in some kind of fume hood. It gives off dangerous lye fumes which can be very harmful in a closed space, but are significantly safer outdoors.
So much gold in the old vids😍
you should make a video of you making slime and explaining how it gets stretchy and stuff
Long chains
Long hentai tentacles
I feel like "Other people have _____, but I was impatient..." sums up a lot of the ways you handle things
1:10 "all of the oils" sounds like olive the oils
For goo and slop like this use a rubber spatula. It can remove nearly all the material on the sides and edges.
As a soapmaker i would say your demonstration should be named as how not to make liquid soap.. even cold processed, the potassium hydroxide based soap would complete saponification within a short period of time, except with olive oil which known to take hours to reach the trace. If you had used a soap calc, and super fatted it about 3%, you don't have to worry about lowering the pH value either. Borax is a totally irrelevant ingredient, and soapmakers would avoid it even as a thikener alone. There is no need to add boiling water to dilute either. Use distilled water and leave it to sit overnight.
I like the fact you use fluorescein to make everything! it's so cool!
3:25 forbidden apple sauce
i like how these soap making and alcohol making video's are recommended to me again
Could you extract melatonine? Thanks! Love your channel
Tip from a soap maker: For liquid soap dissolve the KOH in pure vegetable glycerine instead of water. It accelerates the process dramatically. You have to heat the glycerine to about 200F and dissolve the KOH. It will bubble a lot. But when you mix it with the oils and begin to mix it will go to the clear toffee stage in about 10 seconds. I usually then just add the water to the slow cooker and cook it on low for several hours to dissolve.
* stirring soap with a spoon * -> "I'm using brute force !" 😁
4:04 reminds me of the Apple sauce they serve at school
7:46 Distilled water doesn't boil....
I mean, you can literally disprove that yourself in 10 minutes.
@@Owen_loves_Butters Untrue.
I'd first need to get distilled water. Which would take more than 10 minutes to retrieve. 😉
Boiling point elevation occurs when there are dissolved minerals in the water. Distilled water usually has some of the mineral impurities removed and so you would expect it to boil at exactly 100 degrees C.
dude ur gonna be so clean
9:40 I would recommend a black background.
I started watching the this channel for all the pretty colors and now I get to learn things. thank you
So awesome, proud to be a sub
Flourescine soap might actually be a pretty novel idea for glassware that you really need to be clean. Wash your glass with it, then check under a blacklight to confirm it's all clean. Could you post a few pics on twitter if you try it?
Good idea!
I feel like this video might get more views considering the current circumstances.
It may have been irrelevant to the video. But it’s still super cool to watch
are you going to make bose-einstein condensate soap
Making transparent soap is also fun, and you cant go wrong playing with solvents and such :) making your own soap is an awesome experience!
6:07 earwax...
Carbonated water can be used to dissolve soap and neutralize caustic stuff: Robert is your parents brother.
Carbonic acid does dandy job neutralizing any KOH left laying around.
True, the carbonate form will be hanging out, but it is just a spectator.
CO2 bubbled through soap solution makes more carbonic acid.
Source of CO2? Ferment something!
Use soap solution as the air-trap for a fermentation process.
When the soap solution starts to go acidic, soap is done!
When the bubbles stop, the brew is done!
Beer and soap.
One product to wash away the shame generated by the other product.
Handy.
>mom bursts into your lab
>"where did you get this abount of Shrek's seed?"
i did put some in my mouth and i guess it was done cuz it just seemed like i put soap in my mouth, gross, but didnt zap me or taste particularly bitter... so i did another test i just thought of, try and wash my hands with it! it worked incredibly well, this recipe is seriously great, your really underselling it in the intro telling us not to do this one lol.
Recommended now. I wonder why 😂
“Is the soap done?”
“I dunno... taste it and see”

Hi Nile, your explanation is very well done, thank you so much for your effort in sharing the process. I have a favor to ask from you; since you have the chemistry knowledge and have the possibility of creating this wonderful videos, could you possibly create a video explaining the steps to create a "Toothpaste Base" leaving it ready to add essential oils and other natural ingredients, and possibly also baking soda or perhaps bentonite clay as mild abrasives, since majority of the commercially available toothpaste options out there are full of harmful chemicals. It will be greatly appreciated for many people just like myself who are trying to diminish the environmental toxic chemicals from entering our bodies. Thank you.

10:24 i could have put in fragrances like cinnamaldehyde or benzaldehyde, but i decided to do something different by adding formaldehyde instead
7:18 I have indeed tasted my soap during cure. The sensation feels reminiscent of licking a 9V battery.
That's because the strong base is saponifying the cells of your tongue :)

You take some out save it for later (it lasts longer in gel state). Then dissolve desired amount in the crock-pot with distilled water. Add citric acid if needed for PH
that green stuff looks like my hair 😳 its a kind of dye that glows under blacklight
