Elly, I'm just so glad it was you who taught me how to soap, I picked up so much from you right down to how you use your spatula I just realised as I watch this back a few years later lol! I still adore this scent too, it's just beautiful! 😘Thank you for all that you do. Holly.
With alll the turmoil in this world, I found watching you make this beautiful soap so peaceful. It is gorgeous! And so is your soul! Thank you so much!
I've done this with water from the Cape (Head of the meadow beach!) And the soap came out fantastic! Its by far my favorite and everyone asks me all the time to make more! It was so much fun too!
Omg im keen to try! Im surrounded by ocean! Ill definitely come back to share with you my findings.thanks for showing me that soaping is doable by muggle ❤🙏
This is just lovely, Elly. The photos of your beaches and water are stunning! Your videos calm me during these times and I can't wait to get back to soaping. You are a great teacher!
I didn't think you could improve on using desert sand, but seawater is a whole new outlook, thank you. I'm a home soaper and not used colours, now I'm dusting off the moths, breaking open the wallet and investing in some colours. You are a natural teacher Elly, great UA-cam videos ... inspiring
I will be taking a bottle with me tomorrow morning on my early morning walk, just so I can collect some beautiful fresh Merimbula sea water. Thank you ELLY, as always you are an inspiration.
Hello! I made cold process soap today with salt brine instead of distilled water, but used olive oil only. It took 36 hours to demold, it is not solid hard but it is very firm. I used liquids at a Lye ratio of 1.7:1 as per Zany's recipe. Now I just wait for the curing time.
OMG! Watching the first few minutes reminded me of the North Island of New Zealand. Thank you for that view. That trip was way too short. Had I the ability, I'd never have left.
Wawww beautiful ❤️. Love it u are amazing I so love you cause you give the correct amount not the pourcentage which doesn't want to stick in my head 🥺 Love you 💖
Really great learned about adding colours and how to layer it and learned how to add and create a beautiful texture to it and learned many new little things thank you mam❤❤❤❤❤❤
I went to the shore with my daughter & granddaughters & we saved some ocean water from the beach in Ventnor, NJ. My granddaughter's eyes got big when I told her I could make soap from it! I am cautiously optimistic that this will be beautiful! It looked good going into the mold so fingers crossed! Thanks, Elly, for sharing your talent & knowledge!
Wow so beautiful and thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I am going to start making soap for the first time and I am so greatful that you shared this recipe your awesome. God bless
Once we can safely travel, I had already planned on going to see the ocean so I’ll remember to collect some water to make some hard soap. Thank you so much.
Making soaps definitely seems fun. I really love the colours you have chosen for yours soap. Lovely video, and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing ☺️
Hi Elly! Had my very first attempt at soap making today. I was completely nervous as I was working with lye for the first time. Spoiled my first batch and panicked lol (long story). Attempted my second one and it's got lots of tiny bubbles 😅. Thanks for giving people like me the confidence to start this process. I've got lots to learn but at least I've got a start. You make it seem so easy.
Love your recipes, all the oils you use are very easy to find. Is not to complicated like other soap makers. Thanks a lot for your wonderful tutorials. I am a begginer on soap making and your recipe is the one I am using . Mayela from Texas
Love the pictures you share of Australia, absolutely beautiful! I enjoy all of your videos. You explain things perfectly. I am very happy I found them.
Thank you for this video, I've been to the beach this morning and collected my sea water , can't wait to make some ! Just love your tutorials ELLY ! 👌😍🙏🙋💦
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Hi Elly, I finally made this soap with Coorong salt water. Just wondering the cure time for this recipe given the high % of olive oil. Thanks
Elly, Love your videos you are awesome and have taught me so much! Thank you for all your do! Love your beautiful soaps you make! I am just getting into this and you are my teacher!
Beautiful, I love simply recipes can I switched the olive oil amount to the coconut oil amount and vice versa ? Am not a huge fan of olive oil soaps, love the idea of the seawater, no need for sea salt. Thank you, I think you should think of producing your own soap book.
Thank you very much! Unfortunately you can't swap the olive for coconut oil in this recipe, but if you check out my video on calculating soap recipes you can learn how to do that and reformulate it for yourself ua-cam.com/video/AqKxin0q1bM/v-deo.html Thank you for the book suggestion - yes, I am definitely planning to write an e-book on soap making in 2020!
What a great video!! Now I want to have my sis ship me some ocean 😊 Didn’t know about this but I haven’t made my first loaf either. I’ve spent hours reading, watching and learning. Now waiting for my SH to arrive and will be jumping in. You make it all look so easy. I love your channel! Thank you so much
Hi Elly. Thank you so much for this beautiful demonstration. I'm confused about why the batter is not mixed to trace, as it seems in all of your other videos it is. I understand it may be because it sets up fast, but I thought they all had to come to trace first and that's actually a rule....
Hi Darlene, I brought this to an emulsion, which is the stage just before the soap starts obviously tracing. A good emulsion is all you need! This is a great one to talk through in my audio actually - thanks for asking!
Thank you. Yes, you can, but only on very low heat or just with the light on. Just enough to keep it from getting cool. You can create wrinkles in the top of the soap if it gets too hot using the oven.
Your tutorials are appreciated. I am a newbie. In this video you said you mixed water with the mica coloring. Do you recommend doing this for most soap making?
I love your channel so much. SO so informative. Your soap calculator video has been a life saver for me, thank you so so much. Keep up the good work. Seán from Ireland :) Can you please do a video on soap colouring for beginners thank you
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thank you so much. I am really confused as how to easily use colours as a beginner. I see all the soap makers adding them in their videos but no one really ever explains the process 😢😢 from a absolute beginners point of view! Thanks again
Hello Elly! I wondered how you prefer to package your soaps? I live in a humid climate, and am noticing sweat on my soleseife. The soap has completely cured. The dehumidifier is due to be delivered soon!!!
Ooh that's exciting! I just keep mine in my drawers with the Hippo de-humidifier things in there. When I give my soap away I put it in brown paper bags :)
I really enjoy watching your soap making videos! I was wondering why you don't take the temperature of the lye water and the oils? All other tutorials seem to make that very important.
Hi Doug, I don't think it's as essential as other soap makers say it is. For simple, mostly liquid/soft oil soaps like mine, a room temperature process or 'heat transfer' process work just fine (room temp oils and hot lye). Temperature only becomes more important when your recipe contains hard oils, butters and waxes, but even then I don't take the temps. I'm quite happy with my results just estimating the temperatures :)
Hi Elly, I just started watching your videos and I am hooked! Love your presentation! I am wondering where I might find the wooden mold you are using in this video! Thank you for sharing your amazing soap making skills with us!
I am curious do you do anything to the water??? I live near the ocean as well and have wanted to try using the water from the bay of chaleur??? Do you boil it first and then use it later to take any impurties out of the water??
Hi, no I just use the sea water fresh. I do store it in the fridge though. The water I use is very clean, if yours isn't as clean you may want to filter or boil it.
I watched this just after finishing a lard and caster oil based soap which had me alternately stirring and stick blending constantly for 45 minutes till it came to trace. Here I see you stirring and stick blending for only a few minutes. How does that thicken so quickly and easily? Thank you.
I've never had a batch of soap that didn't trace within a few minutes. Are you using too much water in your recipes? Stick blender not effective? Hope you can figure it out! :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thank you for your response. I am probably being too cautious, not wanting to burn out my stick blender motor, so as soon as I feel it getting warm I go back to stirring. Now that I know that I should expect it to trace much sooner I will be a bit bolder and first go with one of your recipes for a better experience.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking thank you I made it yesterday turned out beautiful soap thank you love your soaps and tutorials so easy to follow thanks Debbie

Until now

Thanks Rod, yes I've received that feedback from others too. This is an older video, I do voiceovers for all of my newer ones :)
Wow that looks fantastic. Time to up my game in the soap making.
Very nice video. I enjoyed it. In Sri Lanka We hv plenty of Sea water. I will try.
I have never made soap before but after watching your videos, I really want to!
Yes, you would need to calculate a new recipe.
Thanks!
Aww, thank you Raquel!
Another organized GREAT vid..... thank you Elly!!
Thank you! That's great feedback :)
Many thanks to this lady for sharing a soap recipe that is low in laurstic and myrstic acids gentle to the skin she is awesome and smart at that!!
Thanks so much Gwendolyn, I'm with you 100%! I find so many soaps way too high in coconut oil. They dry my skin terribly.
Beautiful! X

or best to mix with water only when required
