Yes, that book is the best resource on soap making I've ever come across. It's designed like a chemistry textbook for high school students, but it's very useful - I have learned a lot from it so far and am only a third of the way through!

      @@houseofdc9867 The soap turned out great. I made more than one batch. added some rose clay in one batch and I added some activated charcoal and tea tree oil in another one for my grandson...to help with acne. He really like it for his face and even has asked for more. So that tells you a lot. :) We live in Georgia so it's more hot and humid than some other places.

    Thank you for your time to explain this topic.
    .....
    Based on my experience,
    I use lye discount for my soap making.
    .
    For 33% coconut oil + 67% palm oil soap recipe, using 20-25% lye discount is good for your body skin but not your face skin because it is quite drying.
    .
    For 25% palm oil + 25% coconut oil + 25% olive oil + 25% sunflower seeds oil soap recipe, 5% lye discount is good for your body & face skin.
    .
    For 5% coconut oil + 95% palm oil soap recipe, using 10-13% lye discount is the best. If you go higher, the soap texture will be quite too soft.
    .
    In Malaysia, our dishes is usually too oily so, i use (-)5-7% lye discount for my dishwash soap bar. It's quite harsh for hand skin but, it will very effective to eliminate oil on our plates since we love oily food such as french fries, fried chicken, fried banana & so on. Hee~

    Excellent selfless teacher you truly are Elly. Since I start watching your videos I am hooked. Your knowledge and experiences on this area are greatly appreciated by all who follow you including myself. Thank you for your time and effort, energy, money to share with us. You are like a generous fountain. Bless your beautiful soul. I'm going to make a batch with your already made formula to start with, and already excited, yet not started but soon. ❤❤❤

    Thank you so much, Elly, I had no idea what superfast meant. I made the first batch of soap 2 weeks ago using olive oil and coconut oil using someone else's recipe, but I first watched a few of your videos which were very informative. I have ventured out and bought some white clay and shea butter after seeing that you use those ingredients as well. Much gratitude for sharing your information and experience. I always sought out homemade soaps for personal use and can now make my own. Happy happy me.

      My advice is let a black person (or if your dark skinned yourself??) use your soap and give you an honest review.
      My soap never got better until a black person used my soap. After a bar or two he came back and said it left white lines in his skin. I said "Oh s***". I Had to go back to the drawing board with my recipe and start over.
