Hello, how are you? I am following you from Jordan. If I bought the book for soap, can the book be translated into Arabic because I cannot read in English 😊
I'm surprised it turned out so white. In my recipe I use cocoa butter, shea butter and olive oil and it turns a pastel yellow. I always thought this was due to the olive and cocoa butter(organic, this pale yellow). Seems it was only because of the cocoa butter, hm interesting. Nice video! Thanks :)
as a castile soap maker/purist...adding other oils to an olive oil only batch, renders not a castile soap. sometimes my bars get a greener hue based on the greener olive oil i can get.
Thank you for the consistent high-vibrational and soothing energy throughout your videos. I'm new to the channel (and also soap making), and was wondering if you or anyone else on the comments thread had any tips for getting harder castille/bastille soap. Because of my sensitive skin and young children I like to make gentle soaps with as few ingredients as possible. I almost exclusively use olive oil (pomace), and shea butter as my fats.
Add sodium lactate will help harden soap into very hard bars. Add about ½ teaspoon per pound of oil to the recipe. Stir it into the lye solution well, making sure it is fully dissolved before adding the lye to the oils.
I was told the temperature of lye solution and oil should be not more than 10c, but in this video, oil was 22c and lye solution was 55c, can you please explain? Many thanks
Me encantan tus jabones, este jabón de castilla se puede hacer con proceso en caliente? Lo tienes en algún vídeo y no lo veo? Me encantaría poderlo hacer, muchas gracias,🙏🏻🌷
After it's cured, yes. If you use it too soon it'll essentially be a sodium hydroxide relaxer to your hair which would not only potentially damage your hair but would be extremely dangerous to come in close contact with your skin and eyes.
Hi I want to ask you something. You said let the soap cured for 1 to 12 months... way so much time? I heard it was only 30 days. Just I want to be sure... Thanks!
Again great video ma'am, I have one question, why did you keep mould in oven? Please explain this process Thanks for sharing such beautiful videos. Regards.
Thank you so much! I wanted to make sure that the soap would go through gel so that's why I put it in the oven. Usually it's done by pre heating the oven to 50 degrees celsius, putting the soap in the oven and then turning it off and letting the soap sit there for a day or so.
Lye is necessary for making soap. Any soap you've ever used was created using lye. The chemical reaction when lye and oils are mixed (saponification) creates a compound that is neither lye nor oil. It is soap.
My olive oil soap doesn't get any thicker than at the 15 minute mark. Save your time, give a water discount so it releases from the mold faster, and everyone will be good. Always turns out fine.
Ohhhhhhhh my god... Thank you so much for info that castille soap need two hours for very light trace... I was stressed out why my soap still liquid, when my soap will trace? 😂
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but it looked done. Do I need to cure it for a full month? Lol Im doing a project for school and I need it to be cured a little sooner but I really wanna use olive oil lol
Four to six weeks of cure time is necessary for the saponification process to complete. It insures that there is no free lye or oil remaining, and is completely safe to use.
Your videos are very pleasant.I like ur videos. I watch more more time one video. I have a question, can we add sodium lactate in castil soap?If yes what will be quantity ?
I poured the lye solution right after I measured the temperatures with the infrared thermometer shown in the video. The lye solution was 52 °C and the olive oil was 22 °C
i am wondering about the differences i am about to write. in soapcalc here are the numbers for a 500gr. batch of castile: 500 gr. Olive oil. (with a 5 % SF) 190.0 gr water (distilled) 64.35 gr. lye (NaOH) your numbers for a similar, 550 gr. batch: 550 gr. olive oil 85 gr. water (distilled) 70.8 gr lye the difference between the lye quantities is slight...but the water differences are very different...is there an explanation that you can say about the water differences? thanks for your input...kiitos!
The first recipe has a 25% lye concentration and the second I think has a 45% lye concentration. I prefer soaping with a water discount because this way I can unmold the soap quicker, I have less issues with soda ash and the soap will become much harder sooner as there's less water that needs to evaporate out of the soap while it's curing🙂
Lye is a base. Acids and bases neutralize each other, so adding any type of acid will have a negative effect on the process. Likely, the liquid would not saponify or solidify.
Well they can be very similar and made out of similar ingredients. Castile soap is always 100% olive oil. Marseille soap means that the soap is produced in the Marseille region of France and it can contain other oils than olive oil too.
Stirring for two hours? No way. There are recipes that are much faster that involves heating the olive oil. I think I will try that. Also faster curing time. I would also prefer someone speaking.

Your video is inspirational. Thank you for your good work. Could you tell me the type of lye you use in this soap because you baked it in the oven?
is this soap foaming? I would like to test it for my body.
I wish it was not asmr, I dont like listening to those... do you have ones that are not this style I can watch?
I really enjoyed this video. The calm music and delicate use of tools is very relaxing.
I can't stop watching your soap videos, great inspiration for me specially during COVID, thank you for your inspiration
Thank you so much🥰
Oh my goodness, no one is better at video production quality. You have such talent! It's is always a pleasure to watch your work.

I love how creamy and white it is! Did curing it in the oven help this?
Looks great! I am wondering... what happens if you don't cure it and use immediately?
When to know what the right amount curing time is?
İ was about the ask the same question is oven neccecery
So soothing to watch! Loved it. Thank you
Thank you🥰
So excited to view my workbook and recipe book!

You’re videos are very helpful thank you
I buy organic olive oil bars from Greece- can I ask why theirs are dark green as opposed to white? Thanks!
The art of making soap.
Hi! Can we grate this olive oil soap and dilute it with water to use it as a shampoo? Thank you!
After it's cured, yes. If you use it too soon it'll essentially be a sodium hydroxide relaxer to your hair which would not only potentially damage your hair but would be extremely dangerous to come in close contact with your skin and eyes.

Can I use wood ash lye? If so how much? And any ideas on what to add for an abrasive? Ground coffee or sand?
Ohhhh the recipe... Thank you :)!!!!
What a wonderful video, I really enjoyed it. For how long does the soap remain usable after curing? I am asking this because it has no perservatives.
Thank you😊 It depends on the expiration date of the oils used.
Extra virgin or the normal one ,which one do you use
Do you do a shaving soap at all?
Do think we should add more distilled water?
I think it's a good idea to have a water discount when making castile soap. You can use more water if you want but there's really no need.
hello, these 2 hours are we constantly stirring?
is this soap foaming? I would like to test it for my body.
Simply amazing
Again great video ma'am,
I have one question, why did you keep mould in oven? Please explain this process
Thanks for sharing such beautiful videos.
Regards.
Thank you so much! I wanted to make sure that the soap would go through gel so that's why I put it in the oven. Usually it's done by pre heating the oven to 50 degrees celsius, putting the soap in the oven and then turning it off and letting the soap sit there for a day or so.
It also makes your colors pop if your using color.
One question.
Why didn't you preheat the oil to a similar temperature to the lye?
Honest concern, why does google mention Lye being bad for skin, but is used in most soap?
Lye is necessary for making soap. Any soap you've ever used was created using lye. The chemical reaction when lye and oils are mixed (saponification) creates a compound that is neither lye nor oil. It is soap.
What should be the PH level for homemade soap??
Juste magnifique
Hi, i used olive oil, shea butter and coco butter it is getting garden before i pore into the mould
I want little watery batter
My olive oil soap doesn't get any thicker than at the 15 minute mark. Save your time, give a water discount so it releases from the mold faster, and everyone will be good. Always turns out fine.
Water discount?
@@chriskelly509 using less water than normal, but always more than the weight of the lye
I have a question i don't have this kind of Scale would it work if if put just 70 gr of lye?
Hello can someone tell me how much lye if I want to use citric acid? I always hear others say this bar gets soggy and takes a long time to process.
Hi madam nice video ,madam this soap pH value ?
Beautiful ❤
May i know why do you need to cure for 1 to 12 months?
I love it, I like how it was silent!
U r great.please share liquid Castile soap
Its lovely. Can I use pomace olive oil?
Thank you! Yes🙂
It’s what I use, and doesn’t take long to bring to trace. Still a great gentle soap.
Is this soap conditioning? Also what phase would you add in actives/extracts/fruit powders? And at what percentage
Where did you get the stamp from? Is it a special type of stamp?
Will this come out soft
please
After 30 minutes, then 1 hour, then 2 hours of continuous stirring, manual or blender?
Do i need to heated the water first or just add lye in it?
Use cold water, as mixing in the lye causes an exothermic reaction, raising the temperature to nearly boiling.
This is the second vid I’ve seen straining the lye water. In 20 years of making soap, I’ve never done so. Js.
ゼリー状になって固まらないんじゃないか、心配だったけど、全部固まりました。ガッチリ。
Buen día y q es lye?
Help help! I think I put too much water in it. It will stay at the bottom and somehow soap isnt forming. What did I do wrong? How to fix this?
Hi,
Will it dry out the skin like coconut oil does ？
Castile soap is known to be one of the most gentle soaps
Thanks for sharing...Gorgeous!!!
Is Castille soap suitable for intimate parts?
Thank you! I wouldn't recommend it.
how come this soap came out white ??? olive oil soaps always have a dirty dark green color
Where did you get the music? I need to know lol
Wow I didn’t know there was a cure time that long
Adding sodium lactate speeds up the hardening of the bar.
Ohhhhhhhh my god... Thank you so much for info that castille soap need two hours for very light trace... I was stressed out why my soap still liquid, when my soap will trace? 😂
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but it looked done. Do I need to cure it for a full month? Lol Im doing a project for school and I need it to be cured a little sooner but I really wanna use olive oil lol
You need to let it cure for at least 2 months, otherwise it will dissolve in your hand at the first wash.
Four to six weeks of cure time is necessary for the saponification process to complete. It insures that there is no free lye or oil remaining, and is completely safe to use.
Your videos are very pleasant.I like ur videos. I watch more more time one video. I have a question, can we add sodium lactate in castil soap?If yes what will be quantity ?
Thank you☺️ Yes, you can add 1-3% of the weight of the oils in your recipe.

Lovely! 💚🌿
Thank you🥰
What soap was this laundry or bath?
Hi mam this soap used for baby
Add any essential oil
What is the pouring temperature of lye solutions to oil?
I poured the lye solution right after I measured the temperatures with the infrared thermometer shown in the video. The lye solution was 52 °C and the olive oil was 22 °C
i am wondering about the differences i am about to write.
in soapcalc here are the numbers for a 500gr. batch of castile:
500 gr. Olive oil. (with a 5 % SF)
190.0 gr water (distilled)
64.35 gr. lye (NaOH)
your numbers for a similar, 550 gr. batch:
550 gr. olive oil
85 gr. water (distilled)
70.8 gr lye
the difference between the lye quantities is slight...but the water differences are very different...is there an explanation that you can say about the water differences?
thanks for your input...kiitos!
i can see one thing, the higher % of lye to water. can you describe the why of that, please> :)
The first recipe has a 25% lye concentration and the second I think has a 45% lye concentration.

Thank you Anna, while I was working on 1,000g loaves, I thought about the discount. It make perfect sense.
Happy new year!
Can put soap in oven ?? And we are not having oven, give any alternative mam..
It's just optional
one possibility, is after the batter is poured into the mould, cover it well and insulate with extra towels. it is a method i use with column pours.
For how long do we have to cure this soap?
In the video it says anywhere between 1 to 12 months. So, 1 month is the minimum.
Great video 👍
Thank you☺️
you had to blend it continually for 2 hours? :S
Can I add stearic acid
Lye is a base. Acids and bases neutralize each other, so adding any type of acid will have a negative effect on the process. Likely, the liquid would not saponify or solidify.
Thanks!!!
Gorgeous 💖
Thank you💕

Cure for 1-12 months 💀 looks like I’m going shopping
機械化おわってつくるものは分量が全く違います。大体1リットルに小さじ1の苛性ソーダで、スグにドロドロになって、型入れして、10分ごには出来上がりですし、へんな反応も示さないので、水を牛乳にしたり、果汁にしたり、です。そもそも作ることも実際なくて、パソコンで作っちゃうか、大量にあるものを、使います。
That is no 70.8 g of lye
5% lye discount
Love it, but 12 month is way to long i can't wait for it :(
The saponification process is complete at 4 - 6 weeks. After that, the soap is good to use.
Stirring for two hours? No way. There are recipes that are much faster that involves heating the olive oil. I think I will try that. Also faster curing time. I would also prefer someone speaking.
I just stirred it 15 minutes n molded it. In a night it's already solid. In 2 days i've unmolded.
Lye=sodiumhydroxyde (caustic soda)no warning about getting seriously burned!
