- In this video, we'll be making cold process sea salt soap from scratch! This video is kind of long, but it goes through every single step to make it really clear. You'll learn how to make this soap using the oven process method, I'll teach you how to figure out when your soap is ready to unmold, and we'll cut the soap together.

Have been making Salt Bars for years, I don't follow the high coconut theory for these as initial feedback was the bars can be drying, I dropped the coconut back to max 15%, with a combination of Olive, RiceBran, Castor, Cocoa, Shea, 6% SF, 50% salt, everyone loves the bars now, they lather very well contrary to what I was initially told they ""should do"", demand for these is high and I can't make enough of them, I think the need for high coconut oil is an old wives tale and it comes down to how you formulate the rest of the ingredients.
Oooo!! I love hearing this because I'm all about breaking the rules. I might have to try some of your salt bars to compare. I'm totally in love with the ones I make and even though my skin is very dry, I don't have any issues with them. But, I'm super curious to try. I'm definitely a believer that most soaps should be low in coconut oil. Thanks for the comment! :)
That sounds really awesome to try, just a higher SF than the traditional 20% and leaving the rest of your oils at the normal percentage. I imagine it results in one amazing bar. I'm taking a break on soap making for a while but I'll have to keep this in mind for when I'm able to pick it back up.
Such a great video - you're a fabulous teacher! And we love that apron 💜😉
Thank you so much for watching!! It means a lot to me. And, yes... ever since you sent me this apron, it's seen a LOT of use! I don't think I even used an apron before I got yours - haha! Now I can't live without it. :)
So glad you are back sweetheart. Hope you had a great break. I appreciate all the details and properties of different ingredients in soap. Been making soap for a while just opened my little Alaskan goat milk online shop on Sunday. Your 50/50 lye videos made a big shift in soap making. Good news we don’t have to pay for ice. We just use fresh snow and premix lots. Cuz who doesn’t want a little piece of Alaska and every bar of soap. Ha! Be blessed, sweet friend and I look forward to your next video.💕
Thank you so much and congrats on your new shop! That’s awesome! Glad to hear the 50/50 lye water videos helped. ❤️
Thank you I really like how you explaine every thing ❤
Thank you! I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! :)
I just bought your book on preorder. It would be great if there was a QR code for each chapter linking to your video of you making the soap. It's a novel idea, but your instruction is excellent. It helps the visual and auditory learning at the same time.
Ah yes! Fun idea! We're actually planning to do a bit of a soap-along once the book comes out (where we make the soaps together via UA-cam videos), but the QR code idea is a fun one! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
This is actually a great idea 👏🏾
I just received your book in the mail. Love the clearly written ingredient lists and bulleted instructions. Can’t put it down!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I'm so happy you're loving the book! :)
5:43 am I just got your book and I just love it, is like I am watching your videos, thank you for teaching us everything that you know, is well appreciated ❤
Thank you and I'm so happy you love the book! ❤
I received your book yesterday and I am beyond impressed. You teach in the book, just like you do in your videos. I was up until midnight absorbing all of your knowledge! Thank you for sharing
Wow! Thanks so much! I'm so happy to hear that. Glad you're enjoying my book. :)
Can't wait to see your book. Great videos!
Thank you!! ❤️
Such a great video! Thank you 🤍
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Thank you for being so genuine in every aspect! Your presentation is phenomenal. Thank you! I loved your kitchen.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching! The kitchen is definitely the best part of our house. :)
Fantastic video! A great teacher!
Thank you!! :)
Great video. Thanks for sharing, Simi
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video! I'm so happy you're back to teaching, I've learned so much from you and I'm very grateful!! I got this recipe from you after preordering your book, then I watched this video, and yesterday I made this citrus one as well as the pink Himalayan salt variation. It was really interesting and kinda fun to break out of my usual soap recipe routine. I also recently made a sea salt brine soap using my own base recipe but referenced your salted honey soap recipe for the salt brine process and I think it might be my favorite bar I've made yet. So now I'm hooked on this salt bar thing and can't wait to try these ones! Thanks so much, Julianna from Larrea Skincare
Thank you so much, Julianna! It's nice to be back. :) I'm glad to hear you're experimenting with salt recipes. They are so fun to make! I love the brine bars too. We'll be making another brine bar (and recording a video) soon! :)
I love this video! I also love your kitchen!
Thank you!! :)

Yay! Thank you! I'm sooo happy to be back! And, a huge thanks to Troy for editing this video in record time. I love hearing that you enjoy our videos and I hope you enjoy the book too! :)
Thanks so much for sharing. New to your channel. Great tutorial about the coconut oil, and salt, you answered all questions I had.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching. :)
Just found your channel and I’m so thankful I did. I really love your content as a newbie soap maker myself, I find it so helpful.😊
Yay - welcome! So happy to hear that! We have a lot of soapmaking videos planned, so I hope you'll stick around. :)
🎉 I loved this video!
You are so thorough, it’s very nice to see in a soap video😊(too many “shorts” videos nowadays)
I did a preorder back in January, it’s due to arrive May 28th, can’t wait!
Excellent work ❤
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the compliment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for the pre-order too. I hope you enjoy the book! :)
I love this and all of the explanation. The recipe documentation is amazing !!! I cannot wait to get my book - May 28th cannot get here soon enough for them to be shipped out. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge, tips and tricks !!! Very helpful 🙂
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video and the recipe! I try to be thorough… Sometimes I worry I go overboard. 😂 Thanks for pre-ordering my book as well! ❤️
Greatvideo - thanks! How does your soap keep its fragrance? I’ve found that many eo soaps, especially those with orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, lose their scent quickly.
Hi there! You can purchase folded citruses, although they are expensive. We use 10-fold orange and 5-fold lemon. You can also help anchor your lemon with litsea or use 5-fold orange for a cheaper option. It’s a little tricky, but it can be done! 😊
Another soap maker said that she dusts the outside of her silicone mold with baby powder so that it slides out of the wood mold easier. I imagine another powder would also work.
Oh interesting! Was that for cold process soap or melt and pour? I would think that it probably wouldn't work with cold process, but I could be wrong. I have seen this strategy for working with resin and other materials though. We typically make our soaps in slabs with freezer paper, so we rarely run into this issue, but I appreciate the comment!
@@muddymintsoap it was cold process, and not inside the silicone mold, on the outside of it, where it makes contact with the wood mold. Not meant to help separate the soap from the mold but the molds from each other. I haven't tried it myself but from watching her videos she's explained how much it helps when that silicone liner just won't come out.
Aha! Thank you for taking the time to come back and explain this! That makes a lot more sense and I appreciate the tip! 😊
I have already preordered your book. Is the salt soap recipe in this? Thank you!
Hi there! You can get the sea salt soap recipe by emailing your book receipt to muddymintbook at gmail dot com! The salt recipe is not exactly in the book... it sort of is included, but is presented as a "challenge" and doesn't go into details for how to make the soap in a loaf mold and doesn't contain all the recipes that the "official" sea salt soap recipe does.
What about those of us that still paper line our loaf molds ? Will I be able to unmold successfully, or should I wait to buy a silicone lined mold? Great video and can't wait to receive your book!
If you line will paper it’ll be much easier to unmold! We use freezer paper for our slabs, and every soap is always much easier to remove. Let us know how it goes!
I received my book today ( while I was making soap!).
I preordered back in December, but haven’t received this Salt Bar recipe.
How do I receive it?
Thanks!
Hi there! Please send your receipt to muddymintbook at gmail dot com! I wrote out the email to prevent spam, but hopefully you understand. :)
Hello love your channel. Can I use Pink Himalayan Salt instead of sea salt?
Yes you can! It’s more expensive, so I sometimes mix the two. 😊
Thank you. Just happened. My husband was at Marshall a few months ago, and he bought two huge containers that were on sale. Exp in 2027. Anyhow, we use it for everything, but it will be great for my homemade soaps.
I preordered your soap book several months ago. I just got it the the mail today! 🎉 I’m trying to order your sea salt soap recipe I this video, but it’s not listed so I can buy it?? Can you please help me? Thank you so much I love your videos thank you so much 😊 can’t wait to start reading your new book!!! Sincerely Maria Angrick ❤
Hi Maria! Thanks for preordering my book! We will have the sea salt soap recipe up for purchase this weekend. Thanks for watching and enjoy the book! :)

Hi I know you said coconut oil is the only oil that lathers with this much salt…but…could babassu oil work in its place? I know it’s the best to sub in coconut oils place.
That's a fantastic question and I don't know the answer! I don't have much experience with babassu oil. Off to do a little research...
Do we have to buy your latest book, or can we buy any book to get this recipe.
Hi there! In order to get the free sea salt soap recipe, you need to pre-order my upcoming book. :) It's basically a pre-order incentive, as pre-orders are so important to a book launch, according to my publisher! :) The book is available in many places, including Amazon and I have links in the description box. Thanks!
This ingredients they are okay with eczema?? My daughter and I we have issues eczema
Hi there! It's hard to know what will work well on your particular skin. I'd probably recommend a more gentle bar with colloidal oatmeal, but many people do well with salt bars too. It's possible that the salt might cause stinging if you have any open sores, so please keep that in mind. If you do well with bath salts, then this might be okay. The extra superfat ensures it isn't too drying. Again, it all depends on the person!
I am new to soap-making and have been watching a lot of soap videos on UA-cam and always hear people talk about super fats in the soaps. Can you tell me what that means, please? I am a hands-on person when it comes to making things. I also pre-ordered your book. Thank-you
Hi there! Superfat is explained in detail in my book, but essentially it is extra oil or "extra fat", hence superfat. The way soap is made, there is a chemical reaction between the lye and oils. You need a certain amount of lye to react with an oil to make soap. If you use MORE oil than the lye needs to turn into soap, this is called a superfat. This means that the lye reacts with the oils and when it's done reacting with all the oil it needs to make soap, it stops, and then there is additional oil leftover in your soap bar. This serves two purposes: (1) it functions as a safety margin so that you don't accidentally end up with too little oil for the lye to react with, hence resulting in a lye-heavy soap. The additional oil ensures that the lye is completely used up and that there is none remaining in the final bar of soap, (2) the extra oil acts as a moisturizer on your skin. So, you have your bar of soap, but there is also free-floating oil in there, so when you wash yourself with the bar, you end up with some oil remaining on your skin. Sometimes with a very high superfatted soap, you can kind of feel this extra oil on your skin. It's a good thing though, because it prevents the soap from feeling too drying or stripping. A high superfat is commonly used in soaps that are high in coconut oil, as coconut oil when saponified (when it has reacted with the lye) contributes to the cleansing properties in a bar which can result in a bar that feels very drying on the skin. The higher superfat (extra free floating oil) can counter this and ensure that the bar doesn't feel too drying. A "lye discount" accomplishes the same thing (less lye, rather than more oil) and is a term that is sometimes used interchangeably with superfat. I hope this helps! :)
@@muddymintsoap Thank you I am looking forward to getting your book and getting ready to read it to get myself more familiar with soap making.
Impressive 😊, really hard work TBH. what's the foaming? You have used sea salt, can I use the Cuttlefish bone powder? I really don't know about the genuineness of the sea salt that I will buy from the store. Maybe if they do not understand what I want to achieve with that salt and they send me regular food grade salt?
Hi there! When you say foaming, are you asking about the lather on the bar? The lather is amazing and it is very creamy. For the sea salt, I simply use fine sea salt - the same kind that is used in food. I use Morton Fine Sea Salt. You can also use fine pink Himalayan salt. I've never tried cuttlefish bone powder (I've never even heard of it!). It'll probably be different than sea salt, but you could always try it. :) The only kind of salt you want to avoid is dead sea salt or epsom salt.
@@muddymintsoap hey there, thanks for the reply, yup I was talking about the lather, hmmm nice to hear that the bar is foamy.
Thanks I will try with the salt you have mentioned. I must say try the cuttlefish (not with the same recipe), perhaps some other day. You can google for its benefits on the skin 😀.
I would thimk castor oil could be used for lather😮
Castor oil is typically used for lather, yes, but with the salt you do really need the coconut oil in there too. Our recipe does include a little castor oil.
Does the scent linger in the oven? I've never used my oven to force gel because I image cookies later that taste like soap.
Haha! Good question! I don't think it does - I've never had an issue. My oven does have a fan that seems to run forever afterwards, so that probably helps.
I've never had the scent linger in my oven or affect the way my food tastes or smells. Granted I usually only CPOP in the evening or when we're bbqing, essentially when no cooking is taking place for quite a few hours. Even immediately after I don't notice a lingering smell, that goes for essential and fragrance oils.
Hi Simi just want to know if the offer of buying your book and receiving your sea salt bar recipes is still open???...
Hi Simone - I'm so sorry, but that was a pre-order incentive only. We will have the recipe up for sale on our website this weekend, if you're interested. Thanks!
Here's a link to the recipe! muddymint.com/collections/original-muddy-mint-soap-recipes/products/citrus-sea-salt-soap-recipe-with-five-variations-recipe-only
Thank you Simi ❤❤❤
Hi Simi! What size of Soap Molds do you use?
Hi there! These molds are the 5 lb Nurture Soap molds. We also use slab molds (which Troy made) and they are equivalent to four of these 5-lb molds. :)
@@muddymintsoap Thank you! I LOVE your soap and I love your videos! Huge FAN!!! Are all your recipes for 5-lb molds?
Aww, thanks! The recipes on our website are written for the Nurture soap 5-lb molds, yes. The recipes in the book are written for a 2.5 lb mold, but you can literally just double them to make them in a 5-lb mold. I chose a smaller size for the recipes in the book to make it more accessible to new soapmakers. I hope this helps!
How many days taken for saponification for 50/50 lye solution it’s safe to use after 48 hours
Hi there! When you use a 50/50 lye water solution, it doesn't change anything related to saponification. It's still the same amount of lye and the same amount of oils, so saponification should occur within 48 hours just like any other soap. I hope this helps! :)
Thank you mam
Beautiful color. When I made mine they were white. Not sure why but.. that's ok
Thank you! Did you make this exact recipe? The color comes from the orange and grapefruit essential oils, so you won't get the color unless your essential oils are orange in color. I used orange 10-fold for these. If you used sweet orange or a folded orange with the color removed, then they would turn out white. I hope that helps!
@@muddymintsoap used 5 fold
Five fold should turn the bars at least a pale yellow, unless your EOs were clear?
No Seasalt Kelp?
Hi! Our Sea Salt & Kelp soap is a brine soap, so it doesn’t use this much salt. Is this what you’re asking? Brine bars are great too, but quite different than sea salt bars. 😊
Is the salt soap in your recipe book?
Kind of... if you go to page 144, you'll have a sea salt soap challenge which has the recipe, however, it doesn't include all the variations or the information on how to make salt soaps in a loaf mold. If you'd like to get all that, you can purchase the recipe from our website here: muddymint.com/collections/original-muddy-mint-soap-recipes/products/citrus-sea-salt-soap-recipe-with-five-variations-recipe-only
I normally unmold in 3/4 hours i use less than 50%
Nice! That’s a quick unmold (assuming you meant three quarters or an hour), but it all depends on your oils and essential oils and other additives. Some of my bars with this exact recipe set up slower (or faster) depending on what essential oils we use. I also make this exact recipe without salt and we have to cut in 12-14 hours, so maybe you meant 3-4 hours, since you use less salt.
Is the oven step really necessary?
Great question! I think I mention this in the video, but it's not necessary. Certainly, it isn't for the cavity molds. For the loaf molds, I've done it both ways and I find it way easier to unmold and cut (without crumbling) when using the oven, but if you are able to achieve a great cut without it, then awesome!
Hello Simi
How long did you keep the soaps in the oven, can you please share was it 2 hours
Hi there! I wish I could, but it wouldn’t be fair to everyone that purchases our recipe. Sorry! In future videos we’ll do more in depth tutorials on how to actually make soap with a recipe included and all the info. Our current videos are meant to be informative, but don’t provide exact recipes.
