I just want to thank you for all your videos. Because of you I started making hot process soap a few years ago then pet soap, cold process, etc. You explain things thoroughly for beginners and that's what I like the most. Your channel will always be my favorite.
I am a soap maker, now my niece wants to learn the process, I sent her to your videos. You are the best teacher in this field. Thankyou for explaining it great detail, always a pleasure to see a new video.
Thank you, thank you soooo much for breaking this down for me. I'm going to show my husband this video because you explained this so much better than I did. 😊 Big fan and love your videos
I see what I did here. I just made a batch. I'd put the recipe I'd come up with at 10% superfat, through soapcalc, but holy moly, it came out as though it was full grease. I believe it was the hemp oil which must have driven it up at an undeterminable level. How disappointing, it was quite an expensive batch.
So educational and helpful! Thank you for sharing this information-perhaps we'll try learning to manually calculate, because it seems much simpler than we thought now that you've explained it! 😊
Thank you for the wonderful teaching. I am new to soap making and am enjoying your videos but I found this to be complicated. Will it get more understandable as I progress in my soap making experience?
Yes. I thought the same exact thing once upon a time too. There are lye calculators online that will help figure all that out for you until you begin to understand it. That's what I did.
Any opinion or suggestions on this? 40% coconut oil 76 35% olive oil 12 % Shea butter 8% evening primrose 5% castor 3% oil weight sodium lactate 8% super fat. I'm trying to develop my go to soap recipe but I don't have unlimited funds. I've tested a few different proportions already. The recipe listed is what I've come up with. Before I go and make it again I wanted to see if you guys think it's ok
Awesome! Do you have a good hot process Castile Soap recipe? & how much water and essential oils or fragrances should be used? I have a recipe already but would love to get insight from an expert.
3:22 I don't get your math at all... You have approx .257mg of coconut oil per 1mg of KOH, so you can't just multiply. 257 by 9 because that's .257mg x 9mg If you want ounces you have to further multiply by the number of milligrams per ounce...........right? 🤔🤨
I didn't watch the whole video bur I think she is just showing the math that the calculator does for you. You don't need to understand it. Just use the lye calculator.
@@soaping101 I must admit I am confused. From your example of 9 oz of coconut oil and 1.65 oz of lye. What do you call it when you add oil to that without changing the amount of lye, as opposed to reducing the lye to 1.35 oz.? So instead of it being 9 oz of CO it would be 10.8 oz of CO and 1.65 oz of lye, or should this not be done?
Thank you very much for sharing this information. Is there somewhere I can find out the unsaponifiable values of each oil? I've googled it several times and can't seem to find it online. Thanks again.
If you still need this info, Anne-Marie of Brambleberry has 2 books with the sap values of common butters and oils. I checked out the e-book from my library.
You can add the “ super fat” or extra oils after emulsion but it’s not a guarantee that the added oil will become the super fat. Super fat is determined by the oil that saponifies the slowest not the order of oil added.
Wow.. 8 and half minutes and i learned so much. Thank you. You are a wonderful and patient teacher. 😃👍

I'm so lost.

This wonderfully instructive video is a treasure. Thank you.
Thank you, this was very helpful.
Excellent video - thank you

Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing I didn’t realize that current oils had unsaponifiers

Is it safe to use a rancid soap or a soap made from rancid oils?
Any dangers involved?
Love your tutorials! Always right on the money
Glad you like them!
Super! Thank you so much
Lovely presentation! I learned so much with your video.
I'm so glad!
Great content
So I’m hot process you do not add the super fat the the soap calc? You can add it in after your cook without adding to the calc?
Any opinion or suggestions on this?
40% coconut oil 76
35% olive oil
12 % Shea butter
8% evening primrose
5% castor
3% oil weight sodium lactate
8% super fat.
I'm trying to develop my go to soap recipe but I don't have unlimited funds. I've tested a few different proportions already. The recipe listed is what I've come up with.
Before I go and make it again I wanted to see if you guys think it's ok
Try 30% coconut oil and 15% castor oil🎀

This was so good!
I missed your voice.

It makes no sense. Tbh.
Yeah it needs more explanation..
I love this one
How can one know the level of unsaponifiables in each oil and relatively? Can the SAP number be reliably used this way?
Ok, I'm confused.
I didn't watch the whole video bur I think she is just showing the math that the calculator does for you. You don't need to understand it. Just use the lye calculator.
1.65 x .80 = 1.32 (common sense level math)
20 percent of 1.65 is 1.65 x .20 =.33
1.65-.33=1.32 (easy to understand beginner math)
So if using Shea as a main oil and formulating a 5% super fat, it’s really more like 12+%?
No, super fat is calculated differently. It’s the amount you want of excess fat that will not sopanify.
I thought this method is called lye discounting. Is there a difference between lye discounting and superfatting?
They are the same
Is that not where you use less water with the lye? I'm very new to this
@@kmrazordesigns2105 thats called a water discount.
Lye is the catalyst that turns your oils into soap. When you discount your lye you are leaving some oils unsaponified or superfatted.
@@soaping101 I must admit I am confused. From your example of 9 oz of coconut oil and 1.65 oz of lye.

What percentage of superfat is ideal for Bastille soap?
hello... please if i want to add lactic acid to cp soap, what superfat percent will be accurate or how do i calculate the superfat?

@@ummam9176 Thanks for your reply, but I wasn't asking about SAP values, rather the amount of UNsaponifiables in any given oil.
What about superfat for shampoo bars? So 2,3 or 4% ?
I keep reading not to use soap on your face as the pH is too high. Is this true? Thanks
It depends on what your skin will tolerate
Can we consider additive as superfat ?
You can add the “ super fat” or extra oils after emulsion but it’s not a guarantee that the added oil will become the super fat. Super fat is determined by the oil that saponifies the slowest not the order of oil added.
ئwhy you don t use the traduction?
Mam ,please make one vedio on body yogurt from scratch
No subtitles for the deaf? DISLIKE.
