DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. These videos are intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking has many variables and involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining, so many variables go into making soap and even the smallest change can greatly affect the results; therefore, I am not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods or techniques that I use in my videos. - Навчання та стиль
I ran into a problem making this soap. In the video she is using a coconut milk called Simple Truth Unsweetened Coconut milk which is not a pure coconut milk but has additives. In my recipe I used a much higher quality coconut milk which was only pure coconut milk with no additives which, evidently, has a MUCH higher concentration of fats as opposed to a cheaper variation. The resulting "lye water" was way thicker than I would normally expect. Something to keep in mind if you are using a high quality coconut milk. In my recipe I ended up adding some water to the recipe so I wouldn't end up with a failed batch. Lesson learned: This recipe will need some adjusting depending on the kind of coconut milk one uses.
Hello, thank you for sharing, could you tell us more about the water? Did you add it to your lye water? And also, what milk did you use? Thanks 😊
Yes, it was the Native Forest Unsweetened Organic Coconut Milk Simple Version which contains no guar. I added a small amount of additional water to the lye mixture because it was just too thick to use before pouring it into the oils. Almost like a milkshake in consistency. I didn't actually measure the amount of additional water I used. I sort of ballparked it. Fortunately, the batch came out without any major issues.@@user-qe2tj8hu1r
Yep.. adjustment is the word
I did the same thing and my lye never dissolved in the coconut milk. I froze the coconut milk and then added the lye. I even added a little water to make sure but I ended up with a thick batter of coconut milk and lye and the lye didn’t dissolve fully even though I stirred forever. My end soap was grainy and had undissolved lye. I had to throw it out.
On my end, I dissolved the lye on 1:1 ration, then I used a freshly squeezed coconut milk with a lower water content about 1:1.5, in total I used 1 part lye by 2.5 water plus cocomilk. You can add the cocomilk with the oil mixture first stir with spatula then add the lye water solution. It works for me😊

Lovely video.
Nice video , will try.
Beautiful
Very nice, looks so creamy
Thank you 😋
I love the beautiful simplicity of your soap. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m curious how you know that the soap went through gel phase. Is there a sign that you look for when the mold is completely covered?
Thank you 🙏
Those bars look so beautiful!😍 If you left out the fragrance and essential oils, would the coconut milk be strong enough to leave a slight smell?
Amei o sabonete
Wow thank you
Thanks! I'm inspired by the video tutorial
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
Çok güzel elinize sağlık olsun
beautiful soap! thank you, gonna make this tonight with some fragrance and mica colouring i need to get the ingredients from ebay tho
Lovely! I’ve never tried coconut milk before. I will have to plan on using it in one of my upcoming soaping sessions. Have you ever tried oat milk in a soap? It makes a lovely soap too!
Que buena pinta tiene
Amei sua voz
I'm new subscriber, thank you so much for this...
Thank you for watching and subscribing!
J'aime beaucoup
Awesome
Holly, Beautiful soap and thank you for your wonderful tutorials on soap making! I do have a question about milk soaps in general, do you leave milk soaps to gel at room temp? I have read that many either refrigerate or freeze? Yours looked fantastic! Thanks for your time and effort!
Thank you and thanks for watching! Sometimes I refrigerate and other times I just leave the soap out to gel. I needed to unmold and cut this soap as soon as possible, so I let it go through gel.
You remind me of my time in Appalachia :)
very nice work.
Thank you!
Thank u very much ♥️
That looks so silky smooth, i'm in love
