I love the trial and error you show. It’s great.
Thanks Wendy, I wish I always had everything worked out before my videos, but it just doesn't always work that way unfortunately. I'm glad you appreciate the process :)
I love seeing your thought process! It helps to watch the way you adapt your plans as you go. Also, the internet is full of “perfect” videos, but life isn’t perfect so your videos feel much more authentic. I love them!
Thanks so much for that feedback, it really helps me! (I'm never sure how 'perfect' my videos should be!)
What a great idea. I don't know if I'll use Palm oil, but I don't think I would have been aware about the need to reheat and store to ensure the fatty acids are all distributed evenly.
Thanks Aannsha. I don't blame you for being unsure about it. I'm not quite sure I want to use it either!
The YT soaping community really needed a Palm Oil video series, there are so many contradictions, inaccuracies, accuracies, good advice, bad advice out there in the comments, its great that you set the record straight for everyone, could you do this with oat meal and label it "The difference between ground oats and colloidal oats" because the inaccuracies out there are many. As for my own method of soaping with palm oil, I have purchased reusable plastic containers that hold the amount of solid oils in my batches, I melt the palm amount that I need, add the coconut oil that I need in with the palm then weight my recipes solid oil amount into each container and store in the fridge. Its quick and easy, it address palm oils tendency to layer out when solidifying and it makes making soap just that much quicker. Thanks again for this insightful video Elly.
Thanks, I love your tips. So helpful for larger batch soap makers! Re. colloidal oats - sounds like a video for you to make!! I know nothing about it...
Thanks for the video. I love when you show the things that work and those that dont work so well. Its also great to know about the whole seperation of oils thing.
Thanks, that's great to know :)
Wonderful! I have used my palm oil once and melted it and took my recipe amount out. I have avoided to use it again due to having to remelt. This tutorial/info is a great help. Sure do appreciate your sharing of this. Thank you!
Thanks Debbie! I'm so glad you found this useful.
Thank you, Elly, for sharing this information with us. I really enjoy your videos. They're so down to earth, and I've learnt a lot from you about making soap over the years. 😊❤️ God bless you and your family. 🙏🙏
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, Jacqueline! I appreciate it a lot. ❤️
Thank you for your reply. ❤️🤗🙏
Very interesting info on the Palm oil fatty acids. I have one bottle I purchased before I knew about the negative aspects of the oil but I always just popped the bottle in the microwave and melted the oil unevenly. Thank you as always!!
You're welcome, glad this was useful :)
So beautiful Madame, thank you so much
I love your sharing how you make the real soap. The hot or cold process soap making is also good.
Thank you :)
Hi Elly, thank you so much for your no 1 and 2 videoes on palmoil. I feel very well educated now, and have changed my whole view on palmoil. I sure will try it out now, as my dealer has organic and sustainably grown harvested palmoil♥️☺️
Ok ok, that's interesting Kirsten! I'm pleased the videos have helped you. Thanks for commenting :)
Thank you very much, this is really help full for me. I have not even make my first batch of soap yet, but I am buying supplies and ingredients while I am educating myself by watching videos like yours, reading and doing my own research. I have taken a couple of classes but I think that making soap in a responsible and ethical way requires much more then just good intentions and creativity. I would love to know if you have post a recipe using palm oil along with any of your tutorials. Stay safe.
Thanks Sandra, I have used small amounts of palm oil in some of my more recent videos. I've never featured it though. Check out my recent videos, links to the recipes are in the description boxes under the videos :)
Great idea! I've always wound up melting my whole entire gallon cause semi solid u can't get it out! I absolutely hate distributors selling hard oils in gallon jugs! I wish they at least would give a gallon pail but many don't. Some do but not where I usually shop. Another great idea to save time!! I thank you!!
Thanks! Yes I have coconut oil in a gallon jug and wondering what I'm going to do with it!? Maybe sit in a bucket of warm water...
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking yes! I fill the sink up with hot water for all my hard oil jugs & let it sit ! Very aggravating but it does work! 😂 I love the down home country feel I get from watching your channel!!
lovely video like the authenticity as first step is preparedness. Desperately waiting for a video for palm oil soap making... very excited...
Already uploaded :)
pls could you share me the link in here@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking
Another informative video. Well done!
Thank you so much, Belinda! :)
Thanks for sharing...Palm oil is cheap n common in my country...hopefully u can share more soap making by using palm oil...Love
Thanks, good to know.
I made sure my Palm oil was responsibly grown and sourced and find it is a beautiful soap ingredient.
Thanks for sharing Tanya
Great to see you. I always enjoy you.
I will use it
Hi Elly, thank you for creating the palm oil videos and sharing your sage advice. What percentage of palm oil would you suggest adding to a soap recipe? I’ve never soaped with it before.
Hello friend! I soap with Palm oil quite frequently and use about 20-30%, often roughly matching it to my coconut oil percentage.
Thanks Maureen, as Kathryn said anywhere between 20-30 is nice, though I've used up to 50%.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking thanks for this video Elly. What % of superfat would you give to a 50% palm oil + %50coconut oil soap?
Thanks

Hi Elly, I enjoy your soap videos and I'm new to soap making. So far I have made s3veral batches of glycerine melt and pour soaps -so can ditch the heavy chemicals for now. But really I wanted to also refer to palm oil. Palm oil is Highly inflammatory to the human body when ingesting it. It causes all kinds of auto immune problems. So my concern is using it as a soap on top of the skin because it still gets into the pores and cause the same outcome as ingesting it. So far I use olive, avocado, coconut and almond oils-organic of course. But that's just my choice. So be careful with the palm oil. #Happysoapmaking! I would love to show you some of my soap batches.
Great idea
Thank you! 😊
Starting my day by your video is really a great start really loved the way of the new experiment of using silicone moulds I was really surprised how creamy & beaututifully it came out 🥰 really learning new things from your video madam as of from I'm from India here I bought cold pressed palm oil that will come in liquid form and almost stay liquid but in cold weather conditions in the bottle it freeze down a little downward in top it's liquid and bottom it's freezed. I always melt my palm oil because this too I learned from your old video because the fatty acid will be even. This video is really informative and helpful really loved it 😍. Thank you madam 🫂❤️🤗lots of Love from myself and India 🫂❤️🤗😍💯
Thanks Kajol, always lovely to hear from you! Happy soap making :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking thank you madam it's so kind and happy you replied back😍💯🫂
Thank you. Never knew this
Ooh... I wonder if this is part of what went wrong with my first batch of soap I just made with palm oil, I had a big bucket I just scooped from. I'll give this a go! Does coconut oil require something similar?
I think coconut oil is ok, but to be honest I do wonder this also!
Hi thank you for your helpful informations
I get my kernal palm oil from supermarket it's more liquid I live in Dubai it's Soo hot it's ok to use it soap
Thanks
Thank you!
Thank you, Elly for all the great videos, I've learnt a lot. If I may ask your opinion, I saw someone made soap with this recipe 850 gm palm oil, 200 gm KOH, 200 gm Water. Please tell me what you think, is it safe? Thank you in advance.
That sounds like a liquid soap recipe. You could check the recipe with this method ua-cam.com/video/dBPmh4UpoHk/v-deo.html
Excellent!! Thank you
You are welcome!
Thank you for the video. I have one question. If I'm making 2 kilograms of a batch of oils and want to add 60 Gr fragrance weight, shall I discount this from the 2 kg or add the 60 Gr to the 2 kg. In other words, should the total weight be 2 kg with the fragrance weight? Or should the total weight be 2 kg and 60 Gr all together?
Hello Elly, this is a general question not related to this video- how to calculate clay and other things like turmeric and sandalwood in a soap recipe?
I don't calculate those, just add as much as you like, but be careful with irritating ingredients.
Good morning mam continuously I am watching your UA-cam for a long time very very excellent learning from you. &
I am following you're methods for making detergent soaps.
I have a small confused from the method of phenoyil making.
Please once again explain me white & Black phenoyil making details for domestic uses.
Hi, thanks, but I have never made black or white phenoyil. I'm not sure what that is.
Which fragrance is good for palm oil based soaps that last longer. Palm oil has its specific smell you know. Please advise.
Thank you elly can u make soap only with palm oil and additive chemicals(soda ash, sodium sulphate etc) i hope u will
Hey Elly!!! Can you do an info video on sulfur soaps and your opinion about it? I’ve been trying to learn more on soap forums and can’t seem to find anything
Hi Jonathan. I've never heard of sulfur soap!
i have a question is it bad to use the kernel for soapmaking?
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Does it matter what brand of lye is used when making soap?
Hi Elly, love watching your down to earth videos. I do have a question and hope you can help as I’m relatively new to soap making. When using the soap calculation let’s say for 2400g, it shows as 3431g wet weight,then after curing it’s 2400g. So I do understand some does evaporate after 6 weeks, but 1000g ! or am I missing something.
Thanks in advance
Hi, if you use the default full water amount, you will get a lot of evaporation! Use less water in your recipe and less to cure out.
What is the difference between palm oil vs no stir palm oil?
Hi Elly,
Do you think this would be good to do with other hard oils and butters? Im just finding with cocoa butter it is a bit of a pain to constantly have to chisel bits off when I need to use it. Thanks Kay
Yes, you could I guess, maybe melt it and pour into silicone ice cube trays? Not sure, haven't tried that. Softening it in a warm spot can make it easier too.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thank you. I think I'll put it in a warm space to soften up on its own when I know I will be using it.
Thank you for the valuable information. Please what is the saponification number of palm oil?
I don't know it from memory. A soap calculator can tell you that information :)
Thanks, I will look for it
😊😊
❤️
Hi Elly. When i thought about making soap i started buying things i made need. One ingredient is veg glycerin. I have a large 3 L bottle of it and i dont know how to use it. I realize finding recipes using this ingredient hard to find. Can i make glycerin soap with only a few ingredients as i dont have much available funds . Can you do a video on this ingredient please.
Hi, I answered this on my other video where you asked the question :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking thank you i will check. UA-cam was deleting my comments so i entered the question a few times.
Good morning Elly, do I need to go in to pay the monthly fee to join your community, or is it automatic? Thank you.
It's automatic once you sign up :)
❤❤❤
Hi Elly, I enjoy your soap making videos. I'm new to soap making. I tried once with coconut oil and results were amazing. Now I want to try with another edible oil with coconut oil but I don't know which oil is that (because we get it in loose without labelling name of it .
My question is that how I'm going to calculate with soap calc you referred in one of your video. Please can you help me out😊
What can you use in place of palm oil which is really bad for environment ?
Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/6zjo3iv0Kh0/v-deo.html
Check with whom I'd purchased palm oil from last, because I bought a 20kg box of "no stir" palm oil, and it's a whole lot more convenient 😂
Yeah I wondered about that! I've heard of it but the two suppliers I've used both suggested it needs to be stirred.
In summer here it’s no way to do that
If it's summer then you shouldn't need to do it! Just mix it first (if liquid) before measuring for your recipes. If it's too solid to mix, then you can put it in smaller containers.
What a world of information you have to share! Is this with all oils or just the way palm oil settles? I’m so much older than you, lived a natural life style always and never heard this before! You should write a book! Or maybe it is in a book I’ve not read! Lol thank you for sharing!!
