Saponification is what happens when lye + liquid reacts with the fatty acids in the oils/butters, the end result is soap. If the soap is made correctly, there should be no lye leftover after the saponification has been completed. And as the posters have explained below, the curing/drying time is for excess water (or liquid) to evaporate from the soap creating a harder and longer lasting soap.
While I understand melt and pour is basically buying soap to make soap, your daughter's safety is important so M&P is a great option for you both. It's fabulous that you two make soap together, partly because it's a great mother-daughter activity, but also because you are teaching her about being an entrepreneur and being her own boss! I'm sure it's also helping teach her some independence and confidence as well. Love all of that! And as for buying soap to make soap, there's still a lot of customizing that can make them unique, be a great product, and make lots of customers happy. Best wishes and much success to you both.
Thank you so much! Ahh, the things we do for our kids 🥰🥰🥰
I love your video! Don't let anyone discourage you. I totally get the what and the why you choose melt and pour "currently" as you stated for purposes of your daughter which I love. She's adorable by the way. I'm a newbie at this too. I say this, continue to do what's best for you and your daughter that's what's most important and I'm sure your business will be a success!! 😊
Thank you!! I’m so glad you stopped by and left this comment! ❤️
@@EleveHandmade From what few reviews I have read, no one is telling you NOT to make your melt and pour soap. They are just clarifying that it takes lye to make soap, period. Melt and pour base is made with fats and lye, then taken a step further with the addition of alcohol to get the glycerin soap base that Sarah uses. It is much safer to use when you have little ones helping in the soap making process, but I think the main message is that you are saying you do not have lye in your soap.That is correct, because NO soap has lye in it. The chemical process occuring between fat and lye create "soap". No lye left over unless someone calculates a wrong recipe which is lye heavy. Then it is their problem, not a soap they should sell, or use. Nothing against you, but I have had people tell me they dont like home made soap because it has lye in it and they do not want to put lye on their skin 😤
Thank you...sooo much for this....its grest info. Y ou are. awesome!!!
Stumbled on your channel. Quick tip, if you would like better scent retention, try adding it after the soap has cooled a little, instead of adding it while it is still on the heat.
Cute soaps!
That’s an excellent tip, thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
Needs to be below 120 I think too add fragrance oils .
I noticed that during the double boil method of the melt&pour you added what seems to be a fragrance oil or E.O. I didn't see any checking of the temperature. Some E.O. & fragrance oils have a flash point of 190 up to 200F. If oils are added to a temperature over the flash point it will ruin the scent/ EO properties. Information for those who may not know. Happy soaping 😊
Excellent point, thank you for bringing it up!
Flashpoint is usually misrepresented in many UA-cam videos. Flashpoint is actually the temp at which the oil can catch on fire. Your waxes and oils also have flashpoints as well. For safety and to not over heat the vapors always add essential oils as close to room temperature before the product your making hardens of course.
Flash point has to do with actual contact qith flame, it doesn't mean that the scent will Flash off at that Flashpoint. That is a belief in the soap world that is not factual.❤
Heat base in microwave in 30 seconds intervals up to 1 minutes per pound
I want to learn how to make my own soaps without lye. I'm an artist. I do photography, and I crochet. Thank you, for posting this video. Your little girl is so adorable!
Aww thanks!! So glad you stopped by ❤️.
Fyi, there's no such thing as making soap without lye
@@_Special__K really, so basically the melt and pour has lye of some sort in it?
@@tylondondesigndesign970 Correct. There is no soap without lye. Melt and pour is a soap already made, saponified (process where the lye and the fatty acids mixed) and cured. That is why it is safe to use for kids and newbies as the only thing you need to do is melt and add fragrances, colorants and you can design your own. However, it requires some basics that people should read about before they start to do it, like adding fragrance when the soap is too hot. Hope this help.
This process is what works for you and your daughter, that's all that matters! have fun in your journey because that is what it is all about.
Thanks!!
Your little girl is adorable. Melt and pour soap is ideal for introducing children to soap. thanks for the reminder. Your are correct the lye and oils used in making the melt 'N pour soap have already changed their chemical composition and it is no longer dangerous if it comes in contact with the skin.I wish you much success.
Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️
I know this video is a bit older, but it was very helpful! And I also loved how you were very receptive and kind with the advice given to you in the comment section! I am hoping to make my own soap because I have sensitive skin, so this video helps start me out. Thank you so much!! 🤗
Thank you so much for this video, I was looking for ways to make soap without sodium hydroxide a.k.a. lye. I've worked with Lye for years in the hair business, it's in a perm that straightens the hair called a hair relaxer. It is so caustic that is can cause permanent hair loss, and 3rd degree burns if not tended to properly on someone's hair, so I do not want that on my skin. I've used enough chemicals over the years and I really am working to do better. Making my own shampoos and body wash, so the next thing I wanted to look in to is making hair conditioners, and soaps. My mom is a cancer survivor, so I always try to come up with things that are more natural, and won't possibly trigger the cancer to come back. Your voice is gentle, comforting, and you explained everything right to the point. God bless you and your daughter's business, I think that is so sweet. God bless all of your Social Media Outlets also. 🙏😊
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!! I appreciate your more natural journey- that along with the story of your mom is an inspiration that people will champion, I wish you and her well ❤️.
You can't make soap without lye, not from scratch and all melt and pour soap bases are made using lye. Lye isn't as unnatural as many people think, it's basically common salt that's undergone electrolysis. The first soaps were made using potassium hydroxide lye. They made that by soaking the white ashes of hard wood fires in rain water then straining out the lye water from the chunky bits. Potassium hydroxide is still used in the making of liquid soaps. Any more natural than that then I can only think of using plant material that's high in saponins, like soapwort.
Just want to clarify - the curing process for cold process is for the evaporation of extra water/liquid in the bar. The lye/oils are saponified within the first 24-48 hours, and is safe to use. Cure ≠ saponification.
Perfectly stated. I've seen many discouraged to use artisan home made soap because of the claim that it's " lye soap" & some that aren't educated about soap making don't want to use it because some makers claim that it's "lye free" to sell more. At the end of the day IT'S ALL SOAP. Some melt& pour bases have detergents added. If you're not making your own melt & pour H.P soap you truly don't know what you're making & or selling. Thank you for the clarification . The soap is perfectly safe to use. Once saponification ( lye+oils ) is achieved the soap no longer has lye. It's soap.
i was just about to say this, plus when melt and pour is made it is using lye by the manufacturer
Thank you for adding this clarification, I was going to say the same thing.
No lye, no soap

Exactly can't make soap without lye
Melt & pour is made into a base using lye (i seen that you mentioned that in a comment already), but the only problem with it is that it isn't a true soap, its classed as detergent, and is harsher on the skin than cold process soap made from scratch. In the UK, if it doesn't say soap on the label, then it isn't a true soap, and you'll see that with commercial supermarket brands like dove, imperial leather, etc, which will say beauty bar. Also, the list of ingredients in commercial brands and melt & pour are massive, synthetic, and has glycerin listed, compared to cold process which doesn't, and has very few ingredients listed, none of which are synthetic. On the up-side, melt & pour is kid friendly, and you can get really creative with it. I made it for 3 years before moving to cold process. The soap making forum is full of excellent resources.
Thanks for sharing that info 😍. The kid friendliness is my main reason for using MP!
Fortunately, there are many melt and pour bases to choose from. Some that are detergent free, meaning they are "true" soap! 😊
@@Minwa621 Can you point me in the direction of them? I'd rather use them than the detergent ones.
@@reflux043 they're available on wholesale supplies plus. I don't know about other vendors, as that is where I get mine. There are a variety of detergent free bases that they sell. I prefer the Shea butter detergent free base.
@@Minwa621 Thanks
natural things are always the best option, i swear,
i liked it so much, thanks for the video 😁
💯!
People on the internet make using lye sound like it is equivalent to working with thermonuclear lava. I hope you give cold process soap making a try. You are going to laugh at yourself later when you find out how much more fun and easy it is compared to melt & pour.
I will say, I was not at all scared to try it until I started watching videos about it.. so I'm sure you are right and I freaked myself out over nothing LOL. My daughter keeps asking me when we can make "the big loaf ones" that we love watching on tiktok.. maybe I'll order some supplies and try it out. Thanks so much for your comment ❤️.
With the cost of melt and pour soap these days it's not a bad idea to learn how to make the base yourself.
This was so cute, lol Thermonuclear Lava! And imagine how long soap has been made with lye. That was funny, always good to have a sense of humor!
@@MJ-cc4uf boy is that the truth! I,m going to switch soon
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Very thorough instructions. Can I ask what you added during the melting? I am new to this...thank you!
Hello, yes I added fragrance oil and mica powder for colorants!
Great thank you!! 😊
I completely understand that working with the ingredients of soap is not safe for you right now... That being said, there is something very satisfying about making a recipe that you are extremely happy with. A lot of the characteristics that you talk about from the bases are things that you will be able to control once you start making your own soap. As far as the lye evaporating I totally get that. It sounds weird, but it is a super cool chemistry miracle that happens upon mixing these ingredients together. Once the saponification occurs. It is truly a different material, not like adding salt and water and getting salt water. It would be more akin to adding salt to water and getting birthday cake. Either way I'm pretty jazzed for you and hope that you continue kicking butt
Thank you for your time
Thank you so much for that perspective.. I have been doing a few cold process here and there and have to agree! It’s much more rewarding to do cold process!
Thank you for sharing your soap ideas with us.I didn'teven know you couldn't make soap without a lye. By the way do you have the recipe you can share with us also where did you get that silicon soap holder ?it is cute. I also have another major question. I apologized for asking i'm in the process of staring my soap business. Do you think it's more expensiveto not do the saop with lye? I'm new at it. Thank you.
Hello, you can not make soap without lye- but you CAN make soap without mixing the lye by using a melt and pour soap base! The silicone holder is from Amazon. I have a video on my channel that may help you decide between using melt and pour soap base (where you don't have to mix lye) and cold process soaping (mixing lye).. check it out: ua-cam.com/video/Vz52X96ngpA/v-deo.html ❤️.
I love using natrual soaps and wanna start making it myself I've heard you can't make soap without lye but also that you can I'm a little hesitant about using lye so thank you for this video
Hey! You can’t make soap without lye, but you can make your own soap without mixing the lye. It’s definitely not as scary as I thought it was when I started lol! Maybe give it a try, or start with a melt and pour base! Best of luck ❤️.
@@EleveHandmade Thanks I love your video it was very helpful
Technically you aren't making soap when you use melt and pour base soaps to create your soaps. The soap is already made (with lye). All you are doing is melting the base, and adding fragrance and colors, then pouring it into a mold to harden. You can use melt and pour soup immediately after it is unmolded. Handmade soap, using lye, needs a 4 to 6 week (sometimes longer) cure time.
But this is just melt and pour, lye is used to make it.
it's just faster that's what she is saying of course just to use melt and pour
No, she’s saying “without lye”. She thinks that the melt and pour does not contain lye.
@@planetaryPoem9the title says “without mixing lye”. She outlined the reasons why she doesn’t use lye as an ingredient in her recipe. It’s my understanding that the melt and pour doesn’t have the same risks and cure time. But I’m new
@@GreenandGrainbut any and all soap formulation HAS to have lye or there is No Saponification process…melt n pour is just already made…with lye…
Title is misinforming.
I use my lye made soap within a few days. There is no lye in the soap because there is just soap. Mixing the oil and lye create soap- so soap is all you have. It is actually safe to use after 24-48 hrs.
Love this video, safer for me and my fur babies. ❤
Thanks for stopping by!❤️
Thanks for the videos. I love to do those types of soaps , i believe they are good for the skin. I do different soaps for different parts of my body. Its amazing and not too expensive.
Yes! Its always a good idea to test soap and try different ones on more sensitive areas.
Hi there. I just found your channel. Spooky is completely correct, Curing and Saponification are different and You can handle your cold process can be cut and handled 24-48 hours after making. And making Melt & Pour is really great to do with kids. Karen at Eden's Secret (out of the UK) started her business making just Melt & Pour Soap and then you have Koala Soap (I believe her name is Kim), all she makes is Melt & Pour. You do what you enjoy and feel comfortable doing. I like doing both Cold Process and the Melt & Pour methods, I personally don't like Hot Process, even though Tawra at Living on a Dime made it look super easy. That one scares me. LOL!! Keep up the great work! I look forward to your other videos.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️. I appreciate you taking the time to do so. I can barely do cold process let alone try hot process 😂😂!!
Awesome video!!!!!!. I'm digging the fact that you include your child into your business. Okay,,, I'm thinking about making my own soap, however I regret the thought of using lye and therefore decided against soap making. Then, I ran across your video and it sparked a flame 😆. I will use your three oil method. My only question is, "what are you pouring from the small glass bottles". I do my research if I don't hear from you. Thanks again and I wish you all the best. God bless
Thanks! She is an amazing helper and super creative 😀. The glass measuring cups had the melted (melt and pour) soap in them!
There's no "soap" without lye and there's no lye in soap! Melt and pour soaps don't have lye in it but lye was used just the same way you would make soap with lye on your own. It was just already saponified ahead of time!
I think the reasoning is so she doesnt have to physically have to mix the lye in since her little one is around and poses a risk and she wants her to be a part. Dont think that its been used is the issue. Its like someone has done it for her so her and her daughter dont have to deal with the chemical first hand.
Thank you so much!
That’s absolutely it! I just feel so bad telling her she can’t help me, she loves it so much 😀.
Thank you! Came here to make sure someone said this ❤. So many people label it as no lye soap but the word Soap can not be used without Lye. Soap means lye so it is not needed on ingredients labels. Melt and pour is definitely easier but lye was used it is just already saponified.
Actually there are several ways to make soap that don’t use lye in the process and instead use soap nuts, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and also sodium bicarbonate. UA-cam isn’t always right lol.
I make my own soaps using CP method. I immediately use them after 24 hours. I have no problem with it. Melt and pour soap is also made from lye and oil/fats.
I think her logic against using lye is just safety/convenience for herself and family, not a stance against using lye itself
In the title it specifically states that she is making soap without using lye. She even gives a lengthy intro explaining why she doesn't use lye, which gives the impression a lye-free soap recipe is forthcoming. For someone new to soap making, I thought I was about to learn a new technique. However, simply using a melt and pour base does not constitute actual soap making. It's just an already made soap kit. While a fun child's project, it's not instuctional for those who seriously want to make their own soap. I would suggest getting rid of the long intro, rewrite the title, and actually put some effort into explaining the process of melting, coloring, and scenting the soap kit. That would be more useful for those who want a simple and fun diy project.
How to make soap:
Step one; get soap
Step two; profit
That’s right!
What were the essential oils and colors that were added on the stove? Completely new to this process.
I added mica powder to color and fragrance oil, no essential oils were used 😃
What are you dropping of to the soap base please? Is it essential oils? Or PO ?
I love this video it’s sad none of ur other videos got that many views I was looking for a chemical free soap
Thanks ❤️ I work on my views all the time!! I'm just patiently waiting :).
I'm an absolute newbie to the soap world and did a lot of research into the various methods before deciding I'd like to try the cold process lye method. The reason for this is that with these ready made bases, I dont know everything that has gone into them. Which means that if there are some nasties in there, that totally defeats the whole purpose of home-made soap. Plus they already have lye in them, so it's not like your soaps are lye-free.
I wanted to make shampoo bars with lots of beneficial herbs, seeds etc that help to grow, thicken, volumise and detangle hair. Which means steeping all those goodies in water, putting lye into that water and saponifying it. I wasnt sure how I'd add all of these things to a soap base that is pre-made. How do you add rosemary, bay leaf or cloves etc to this method?
Please could you outline all the ingredients that are in the soap bases? Thank you.
Hi! Unfortunately when using bases there isn’t much room for adding liquid ingredients. I would really stay around 1-2% additives total to ensure the bar solidifies correctly.
Your ingredient outline is an excellent idea, I’ll add it to my film list! Thank you ❤️
Those melt and pours that you purchase was originally used with lye, no matter if it says lye free or not.
Yep!
I suffered the same conditions two dogs that would never leave me alone. I used a main soap the. A mix of oils and ingredients for my own body wash and shampoo followed by apple cider rinse to correct the ph problem.
Great idea!
Thank you for the video! My son and I are going to start making our own soap too and I really wanted to find a safe way without lye. This is perfect! 💜
Excellent!! My daughter and I love making soaps together!
was that mica powered you added to soap base? and how did you know how much to add? the same with fragrance?
Yes it was mica powder. I just honestly sprinkle mica in until I get the shade I want. For fragrances you need to check the supplier recommendation on skin safe percentages and go from there 😃.
Thank you for this demo. I need to make healthy soap for my family.
Thank you for stopping by ❤️! Good luck!
Thanks for the info on triple butter base, I shall have to get some.
It’s been my favorite to work with so far! You’ll have to let me know what you think 😍.
Does your soap lather?
This soap base was made with lye so it’s just the same but someone else did that before you purchased it. Cold process soap is safe to use after saponification has taken place which is pretty quick and the cure process just allows the water to evaporate from the soap making it harder. I use melt and pour to at times but prefer to make my own .
Definitely agree, there's a time and place for all types!
I’m looking into making my own soap as well and because of my children I will not be using lye either. Keep doing what you do mama
Thank you! Good luck ❤️
What did you spray on it after you poured it?
My question also?
It is isopropyl alcohol to pop any air bubbles 😀.
It is isopropyl alcohol to pop any air bubbles 😀.
what about Titanium Dioxide ? is that in the melt and pour?
Yes you can add it to melt and pour recipes.. just make sure you get the one specifically for melt and pour, not the powder for oil. 😀
Hey what do you Spray after you pored the soap in the mold ? You sprayed something with a spray bottle? Thank you love your video
Thank you! It is isopropyl alcohol, it pops any bubbles that may be on the soap.
Hi, I love your video. I'm interested in making soap and your video is nice and sweet with good understanding. May I ask how long you let the soap set in the mold before taking them out
Aww thank you so much! I usually let it sit overnight before taking it out of the mold 😀.
You are the cutest person on planet earth lol Great video!
Thank you so much🙏🙏
I make candles with my son, it’s so wonderful to have a hobby you can do with your child .. now I have one more to add to the mix 👍🥳🥳
Aww thank you!! I love being able to do it with my daughter ❤️😍. Where can I find your candles?!
Oh I just make them as a hobby not as a business or anything … but maybe one day I will ? Lol
Take care!! 🥰🥰
It's important to highlight that a melt and pour soap base is still made with lye- the difference is that you are not mixing the chemical lye in your workspace. As with all things in life, there is no 'one way fits all'. We each have our own preferences and plans as it relates to our business- which is what makes us unique. Personally, like I said in the video, I (currently) prefer to work with melt and pour soap so that my daughter can work with me. She's 7 years old and thinks that making soap is amazing. I'll continue to use melt and pour bases while we are working together until she is a little bit older. ❤️
Today's question: when you make soap, do you prefer to start with melt and pour bases.. or do you like to make it from scratch with lye?
My only issue is that melt & pour is MADE with lye. It's already been made and cured, but it still is made with lye in the manufacturing process.
@@elizagrey7243 absolutely, I just like to skip the actual lye mixing part (for now) so my daughter can help 😍.
@@EleveHandmade I totally get it! I love that she gets to be creative with you. ❤
Unfortunately, your video is a bit misleading. Melt and pour is made with lye. A “soap” made without lye is a detergent.
@@margaretconnor1666 thanks so much for your feedback. I had thoughts of making the title more clear but then got distracted with the holidays! Hope all is well, thanks for stopping by 😀.
I am so excited and impressed about how you do soap but I want to know the ingredients and where to buy them in South Africa ❤❤and please send me how you measure your ingredients ❤❤
That looks a good soap bar/shape. Well done. X😍
Thank you!
With the M&P process it's better to use 1 tablespoon of 90%or better alcohol and 1 teaspoon of Colorant mixed before pouring in. It helps spread out the color
Thank you so much! That’s an excellent tip.
OMG those are fantastic!
thank you!
Lye sounds like a damaging ingredient. Says it by the name lie 😂😂😂😂😂Loved you presentation Beautiful Soul don’t mind the trolls. Blessings to you. 🌺🙏🏾
Thank you so much! It’s not that bad if you know what you’re doing 😃. At the time of filming this.. I certainly didn’t!
Oh lawd 😂that’s why I’m here to I don’t want to mix lye.
If you use melt and pour you don’t have to mix it, though it will still be in the bars themselves 😀.
Thanks for teaching us great
Thanks for stopping by!
Just to clear up the issues. The melt and pour soap base that is used here as already gone through the saponification process with lye. Anything that works like soap in the end does not have lye in it. Doesn't matter which process. I find it funny that cold vs hot soap making is an issue. If you are using lye and water, after the reaction has occurred wait until it cools, then is CPS. Don't know why some bother with using ice cubes, just wait for the lye solution to cool if that's what you're after. I find my soap saponifies quickest in a blender rather than a hand mixer, and it's contained and safer. Oil/fat, lye, water = soap which doesn't contain lye. This video uses a soap base that has already gone through the chemical process with lye, also meaning there's no lye in the melt and pour. Thank you
So you mix your oils and lye in a blender? I’ve never heard of that, how interesting! I like how that contains it and mixes it AND acts as a pouring pitcher.. thank you so much for that tip! ❤️
@@EleveHandmade Oils in the blender, then slow pouring the lye as it blends, tracing takes a minute. That being said, I was mostly making liquid soap for my restaurant and home. I would buy 1000kg of hemp seed from a village market, take it to a press and run a single press keeping the oil cool. In that same province we eucalyptus growers so I had fresh steamed eucalyptus, a few drops and the detergent was excellent. Thank you!!
I am new to soap making I would like to know how long you let it sit and how come you didn’t put it in the refrigerator? I’ve seen videos where they put them in the refrigerator. Does that depend on the soap base you’re using?
Hi! I think it just depends on personal preference 😀.
@Divine Valentin ... OP is using a MP base so her soaps completely bypass the "soap making process" which is called saponification (a chemical reaction that produces soap). MP base is essentially already-made soap that is reheated to add color and/or fragrance so there isn't a need to consider a gel phase - whether forcing or preventing. So no need to put in the fridge or let it "sit" and cure ... it's immediately ready to use after hardening. This process is MUCH safer to use around smaller children (and pets) as it lets someone else handle the lye and entire saponification process (~48 hrs). The videos you might be referring to are probably involving the CP method. Hope that helps! :)
Few year ago i buy some baby soap, it was very dry, brittle with snow white color, bubbles was great, i never made the soap with sodium hydroxide, i only experimented with sodium bicarbonate, i just want to know: this properties of soap depending on oil type, some added substances, or just it was dried? It also had significantly more cleaning effect.
Thats because you didn't make soap, you made detergent
Hate to break it to you, but you can't make soap without lye. That stuff(soap base) you are melting is just soap made from lye already.The lye is transformed in the Saponification process, so there is no lye left over if it is done correctly.
Yep. I’ve learned that and so much more since filming this video, I appreciate you!
Skip to 7:05 and there is lye in melt and pour, so yeah it's with lye buds
Yep just like the title says.. making soap without MIXING lye!
Heating only oil and Sodium bicarbonate (without water) also occurs reaction and it turned to soap with dark brown color. I tried and it works. Just during preparation white smoke will also occur.
What is the smoke? is a mask needed?
Please use a REPUTABLE source when messing with chemicals. That "smoke" was deadly carbon dioxide.
This so interested me but baffled why you didn't say what you added to the aoap whilst heating it? Was it essential oils and colour? Thank you
After I melted the base I added fragrance oil and mica powder.
thank you @@EleveHandmade 😃
Do you have written directions for this ? I wonder could you sprinkle in clay for color? And does this soap lather?
Hi! I put directions in my updated version of this video on my channel, it’s called can you make soap without lye 😀. I bet you could use clay though I’ve never tried it. It gives tons of lather!
Where do you get the soap base ?
Hi! You can get it online from tons of suppliers like Amazon (I do have some linked in my storefront), Wholesale Supplies Plus, or in person at Michaels and Hobby Lobby.. hope that helps!
what are you using for your coloring, how long did you cook/cool.
Mica powder for coloring and I melt at 30 second intervals until melted, once poured into molds I usually leave it overnight!
Do you take your soap off melt at a certain temperature?
I just wait until it’s melted, and under the flashpoint of the fragrance!
What's the diference between lye+oil and soap and pour base ?
The only difference is the lye and oil is you mixing it yourself. The melt and pour is the lye/ oil mixed before you get it.
May I ask where do you buy the soap base from ?
Hello! I have a few of my favorites in the description box, but if you’re looking in person- hobby lobby and Michaels ❤️
Hello can I ask is that base soap that you use to make ur soap is without lye??
Hi, the base does have lye in it- I just don’t mix the lye myself! Thanks for stopping by!
Do you test the ph?
What are the sizes of your $15 soaps? It is not mentioned in the description on your website.
4 ounces 😍. If you’re considering an order, use code ‘subscriber’ for 20% off ❤️.
@@EleveHandmade Ok, thank you!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi, I am using the shea butter base but it is drying for my skin. Can you help me what can I do?
Hi!! Is it melt and pour?
Yes it is
It’s exactly the same brand what you are using 😳
When you mix it with the right amount of water and oil, then they turn to glycerin, but if someone added over the right amount of lye needed it will remain in the mixture
Wonderful
Thank you!
You may get the soap base for melt and pour soap’s, but just so you know those melt and pour soap had to use sodium hydroxide in order for it to become soap, and melt and poor soap has a ton of chemicals in order for it to be melt and pour.
Thank you so much for the information!
What is the cost to buy all these components to make soap... To begin with ..........
I actually posted a video about this on my channel!
Is beeswax considered a melt and pour ? Thanks for the info !
I haven’t seen a beeswax melt and pour base, but it could be out there!
I feel that would stick to pipes and eventually make some significant clogs. I would never put a wax in my drains.
Hi.. can you let me know how to make the soap foamy?
Hello! Do you mean how to make a liquid foaming soap or how to make a bar soap bubbly?
@@EleveHandmade hi again.. I meant how to make a bar soap bubbly?
@@bhavaniS4559 If you mean making melt and pour soap base more bubbly, you could add honey or sugar syrup @ a rate of 1 teaspoon per pound, however honey will colour clear melt and pour base.
So there’s no soap suds with your soaps because there’s no lye?
There is still lye, this is making soap without mixing the lye and the suds are plentiful!!!
So the soap bases don't make with lye? Or a form of it?
Soap bases do have lye, it’s just premixed vs you mixing it yourself.. I always relate it to making a cake with box mix and making it from scratch, you still get a cake, it’s just a different way to get there 😬😬. Thanks for stopping by!
I’d like to do this with my daughters, but I have no idea where to buy ingredients
I think that’s a great idea! If you’re just doing it for a fun activity I would say hobby lobby or Michaels, but if you are more serious, I would recommend Wholesalesuppliesplus.com 😀
So you literally just melt down the soap base, add any scents or whatever you want to it (I would use EOs from the company I have been working with for 9 1/2 years now ;-) ) and then pour into a mold to cure? That's literally it? I feel like that's too easy lol. Want to start making my own soaps so exploring options right now :-)
YES! With melt and pour soap, that's all there is to it! I have a few design tutorials on my channel now and am filming more next week, stay tuned!
So all you did was melt a brick that was already blended? Kinda seems like cheating.
That is loosely the premise of melt and pour soap, yes. It’s a great option for beginners or makers like me!
Sarah is beautiful if you all agree. Ok back to the soap making.
Lol thank you so much 😊
Is this tear free?
Probably not but they do make bases for babies, so I would guess that is!
What did you spray on the soap and why?
I spray rubbing alcohol to pop the little bubbles that rise to the top while I pour 😀.
@@EleveHandmade I love how you answer all the questions in the comments, as well as try to do all the steps in the videos, for all of us newbies!
You're not making soap, you're just adding colors and "flavors" to soap that was already made.
Yes thank you for the clarification- I've learned so much since then, hope you stick around to see how far I've come!
You know its not just girls interested in making soap….some of us guys are also interested in soap making.
You must not watch my channel very often. All my other videos start with what’s up everyone 👍
@@EleveHandmade 🤣well thank you for adapting to everyone instead of just ladies cause I am in fact a dude who likes soap making 👍😭
If there's no lye how does it lather
Melt and pour has lye in it.
So melt and pour?
Dude, your generation grew up with the internet. How do you still not know how things work? Why make a video about something without a quick google search about it? Maybe you're trolling to get comments. If so, congrats, you got me.
Dude, you grew up during the generation of peace and love, yet here you are being rude…..
Im a millennial, but touche, nice boomer dig. Your generation is too sensitive to realize i was helping you. I bet your next video is better informed. You're welcome.
You’re awesome
Great video but it always funny when kids BUST in the video
Lol I know right! My kids are always finding their way in!
I’m confused why would one use lye if it’s so toxic on the skin. I’m sure the toxicity doesn’t change.
Hey, great thought! When the oil and lye combine, it goes through a process called saponification and the lye evaporates, making it skin safe!
Coconut pulp soap😃🙂
I've never tried that but it definitely sounds intriguing!
😊 awesome. Jesus bless
Thank you, you too!
M&P soap contains Lye.
Yes, thank you!
This video is soooooooo loooong.
… thanks?
It's not soap without lye. Period.
Yup!
I liked your video but you did not say what you were doing through the process since I'm new at this I would've loved to hear what you added to the mixture and I never caught how much of the triple butter melt you started off with. If you can send me how much of everything you added to my email that would be great. Thanks!
Hi! I have posted a couple of tutorials that include full recipes & explanations if you want to check them out!
