- Welcome! I share tips and insider secrets as a professional candle maker and biochemistry major, review candle and soap supplies, and just have fun. I’m passionate about making cleaner, more earth-friendly candles and cold process soaps as well as helping small businesses, and it’s an honor and privilege to have you with me on the journey!
🛑 IMPORTANT: Before ever attempting to make soap, you *must* do extensive research on lye safety. This chemical is highly caustic and dangerous (you can permanently lose your eyesight in a second or cause third degree chemical burns) if you are not properly trained in and executing proper lye safety.
NOTE: In all of the formulas below, I used a 5% superfat and a 5-6% fragrance load. I have listed the various additives that I used with each formula but these are totally optional.
In general, I used 25% water as a percent of oils.
These were made using two of the six pound Winston and Walter molds, so the amount of the additives used reflect this.
FORMULA 1:
30% Olive Oil
20% Mango Butter
20% Palm Oil
15% Coconut Oil, 76 deg
5% Castor Oil
-Additives: poppy seeds, 2 TBSP benzoin (dispersed in liquid oils and added at trace), 24g sodium lactate, 2 TBSP coconut milk powder, calendula flowers, 1 TBSP yellow mica, 3 TBSP TD
-Fragrance: 223g Organic Lemon Essential oil; 47g CS Lemon Pound Cake
Excellent scent retention. Fragrance accelerates slightly.
FORMULA 2
32% Olive Oil
30% Coconut Oil, 76 deg
15% Palm Oil
10% Mango Butter
8% Cocoa Butter
5% Castor Oil
-Additives: 24g sodium lactate, 2 TBSP goat milk powder, calendula flowers, mica, TD
Fragrance: CS Neroli Jasmine (5%).
-Notes: Excellent scent retention. Soaps like a dream. Fragrance very well-behaved.
FORMULA 3
30% Olive Oil
28% Coconut Oil, 76 deg
20% Palm Oil
10% Almond Oil, sweet
7% Cocoa Butter
5% Castor Oil
-Additives: 2 TBSP coconut milk powder, 2 TBSP cane sugar, 39g sodium lactate, tussuh silk, biodegradable glitter, mica, TD
Fragrance: FC Love Spell Type (5%)
-Notes: Fragrance very well-behaved. Excellent scent retention. Very slow moving. Some soda ash. Oils 93, lye 84.
FORMULA 4
30% Olive Oil
30% Coconut Oil, 76 deg
24% Palm Oil
5.5% Castor Oil
5% Shea Butter
5% Mango Butter
0.5% Yellow Beeswax
-Additives: TD, mica. No sodium lactate! Still unmolds like a dream the next day.
Fragrance: CS Rosemary Sage (5%)
-Notes: Excellent scent retention. Fragrance very well-behaved. Formula was very fast-moving, likely due to beeswax, higher soaping temp (oils 111, lye 127) and higher concentration of saturated fats.
FORMULA 5
35% Olive Oil
18% Palm Oil
17.44% Mango Butter
15% Coconut Oil, 76 deg
9.56% Coconut oil, fractionated
5% Castor Oil
-Additives: 8 TBSP activated charcoal, 4 TBSP benzoin (both dispersed together in olive and fractionated coconut oil), 24g sodium lactate
Fragrance: 200g Japanese Peppermint essential oil; 70g CS Peppermint Eucalyptus
-Notes: Very good scent retention. Formula was very fast-moving, likely due to higher soaping temp (oils 113, lye 107) and higher concentration of saturated fats.
FORMULA 6
30% Olive Oil
28% Coconut Oil, 76 deg
20% Palm Oil
10% Almond Oil, sweet
7% Cocoa Butter
5% Castor Oil
-Additives: 2 TBSP walnut shell powder, 1.5 TBSP bronze mica, 1.5 TBSP brown mica
Fragrance: NG Indian Sandalwood (5%), 24g sodium lactate, 2 TBSP cane sugar, tussuh silk
-Notes: Very good scent retention. Fragrance very well-behaved. Very slow moving. Lots of soda ash.

Soap and Clay on UA-cam is a GREAT place for all the soap and body stuff!
thanks for sharing!
New to soap making. I must say this video is very informative. I love how you tested each bar. I made my first bar a few weeks back it was a goat's milk bar. It was such a amazing bar. SoapCal is awesome. It's such a great tool to use. I realized this once I got over the intimidation and learned how to use it, lol.
Glad it was helpful!
I so needed your energy this evening!! Stay happy n keep soaping. Fellow soaper and follower.
Thank you! You too!
I love these kinds of videos.
I have made soap since late 2020 and have whittled it down to 4 soap recipes. Since the cost of coconut oil and palm went up so much, I add 15% lard to my body soap. In my unhumble opinion, I think it made the soap better.
glad you've found what works best for you! thanks for sharing!
I love your channel!
aww thank you!! I’m glad you’re here!
G R A T I D A O por ser contribuição conosco amei essa experiência ❤🇧🇷👋
Great video! Try a all coconut soap😊
That might be a little too cleansing for me!! ha ha ha!! I'd probably superfat it at 20% or so.
@@earthglow yes! Superfat at 20% and it’s a great bar!
i only use 3 oils and then use my elvish butter for my HP ( hot prosses). if people don't like palm oil they can use 15% soy wax 415.
Hi Daniel! Thanks for your comment. Yikes! I don't know that I would use that in a soap. I don't believe it is approved for skin use.
@@earthglow soy wax 415 is safe for soaps, lip balms and more
@@danielbolger25 I believe Brambleberry has skin safe soy wax
@@cliviascreations any candle suppliers that have soy wax 415 it is skin safe
Are you going to be selling your soaps? I googled Earthglow and was able to locate your candles, but not your bath and body products.
Hi! I currently sell them in May via livestream on Instagram but in the future I hope to have the listed on the website. Thanks so much!!
Tip to stop soda ash add Beeswax or soy wax to your soap recipe.
Hi Daniel! Soda ash is usually created from soaping at a low temp and pouring at a very thin trace.
@@earthglow adding beeswax or soy wax reduces the change of getting soda ash. even when your soaping at a low temp.
Usually I don’t get soda ash and I am a low temperature soaper but I always use 50/50 lye/ liquid. If you do a water discount you don’t get soda ash. The only time I get soda ash is with my activated charcoal soaps. Also I use corn silk instead. It’s vegan and cheap ( free for me) and has the same effect
