You are SUCH an excellent teacher...I love how willing you are to share your knowledge! The amount of detail you provide (in my opinion) is far superior to others I have watched. I find quite a few who seem to make generic videos and if you want the details you have to go to their paid site. I'm not saying they aren't good ones like you, I'm just saying I am super impressed and very grateful for the explanation of nuances you so generously provide. I am a newbie and not ready to start yet, but when I do, I am sure the knowledge you've shared will help eliminate a lot of the angst, frustration and common failures encountered. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
awe thank you thats so nice of you to say. i do try to give free advice as i understand that not every one can or wants to subscribe to a paid site. i really hope you enjoy making things as its so much fun and can i tell you that after making your own hand wash you will notice the moisturing bennefits to it, the store ones are drying for me so adding some gorgeous butters helps
Thank You! I am trying to make some for my sister's friends. I too was scared to make it, but you have eased that pressure I will be trying to make this today. Wish me luck!
Good Morning from the U.S. I started making CPS in October 2023 and have it down. Now, I am getting into liquid soap. I have watched many tutorials, and yours seems to fit me well. I will be making this 7-31-24. I will come back to let you know how it turned out. Wish me luck. Brian
Good luck Brian. When adding the top up of water (the main amount start with a small amount at a time to get the right consistency as each France oil will act differently
I would love a hard copy of your book, my wife and I always look forward to watching your videos and how we can improve our health in God’s way. We truly believe that God has provided everything that we need for the best possible health. Thank you
Un très très grand merci à vous pour le partage de vos connaissances et pour le temps que cela vous a pris. Je vais grâce à vous pouvoir le faire pour ma famille. Bien à vous. Rosalie
I love your videos thankyou soooo much for sharing your talents with us Do you have a video on making room fresheners i only came across then less than a week ago and am loving them Thankyou again so much.😊
You did a great job on your video, and it is wonderful having someone from New Zeadland doing it. I make solid bars but want to try this. Do you work your fragrance on the totoal weight of water and paste. Does it still thicken as it gets colder.😅
Some fragrances make it thick like tonka, vanilla or cashmere but some zesty ones make it thin. I’m actualian Australian but my ancestors were from the Scotland highlands and then they migrated to New Zealand where my great grandmother was from
GLORIA, you are an angel. Thank you so much. I love the fact that you showed us the website. Is your book printed as a hardcopy? Can I get it on amazon?
I'm new to soaping, and I loved the video, it has been so helpful. Could this be used for a liquid laundry? If not, could you recommend a video or recipe? Thank you - DC
I’ve been thinking to make liquid soap, but seems so much more complicated than what I’ve been doing with cp and hp soap making. I recently came by a bunch of potassium hydroxide by a company mistake, they were suppose to have sent sodium hydroxide. Anyway since I have all of this potassium I thought I’d go ahead and give liquid soap a go. I watched Elly’s Everyday, she also has a great video. I loved your video and I appreciate that you shared about your mistake with the x-gum. Thank also for sharing another person’s UA-cam channel to watch, Soy and Shea😊 I do have a question, if the liquid soap becomes too thick what can be done? Do we just add a little water until it thins out, or is it necessary to use heat as well?
Add water but keep it warm so it blends better. Elle everyday is amazing and after watching her i started. You may find your own things that work. I now use sodium lactate to thicken it
Elly and Keeley are fabulous aren't they! I love liquid soap but have never made it before. Think I might be able to give this one a go, thank you so much for sharing! Does it need to be kept warm while doing the blitzing? Or could it be done in a food processor? I have used a 1:5 ratio of soap to water in a foam pump bottle as a hand wash and it's lovely (it didn't have the xantham so was quite thin). Have a great day :)
Thanks so much for sharing, ive come back to soapmaking after a long hiatus and ive learnt so much. I dont have Olive, what could i replace it with...plenty of baobab in my part of the world.
This recipe is not for detergent as the shea and cocoa butter is a creamy butter oil. You would need to remove butters and up the coconut to create a cleasing recipe.
If you already have a hard soap bar recipe that you love, could you use all the oils and butters from that same hard bar recipe and use it for liquid soap? Plugging everything into the calculator using KOH? Would you have the same qualities of your hard bar but in liquid form now?
Very good. Happy I found your video. May I ask at what point do you turn your crock from high to low? Also the xatham gum - is it the one for baking? Just want to be sure
I love love this video and I have made it and I am so happy. Thank you for sharing. One question: after it has been sitting for a couple days there is a separation at the bottom. The soap seems to have risen up and there is a clearer liquid at the bottom. Is this normal? Do I just siphon off the soap at the top? Thank you - Mo
Hi there. There should be no seperation at all. It might mean you did not mix enough . It should be thick and the same consistency. I’m so glad you love it though
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery hmmm....I was thinking maybe it was the fragrance I used...but it is a good one from Nurture Soap...I have used it before. Maybe I should put it back in the crock pot and reheat it and keep stirring? Thank you for your response taking the time out of your busy day. Mo
@@mauricebecneljr3604 it’s ok I always try to message everyone back. The most important mixing time is the paste time as that can really make or break the recipe. Some fragrances may not be perfect just like when making bar soap. Did you use the glycerin? As that does help it not to seperate too
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery I was wondering this too. I believe the purpose is to lower the ph of the soap so it’s more neutral and skin friendly-although I’m nervous to try it in case it makes the whole batch seize up
Hi, dear. I want to ask if I can use Potassium Hydroxide, Food Grade Flake 99% Pure, is it ok for making the liquid soap? Please advise, thank you so much.
Please check with your soap supplier as i dont yhink theres a food grade to this . This is a chemical that with oils and water creates soap but of course look at some research too
Hi, you gave lot of effort doing this but when it comes to pricing, does it worth to make business, how do you price it? Otherwise it is great to make liquid soap at home. Thank you for very detailed video. 💯
hi there. heres the information and update for you. water/glycerine 152g lye 86g coconut oil 44g shea buter 40 g cocoa butter 8g caster oil 32g olive oil 276g
Thank you for this video. I have two questions 1. Must both oil and lye solvents cool to a definite temperature before mixing them together. 2. Should we allow the paste to cool before diluting.
If you don’t have time to dilute the paste right away can one come back and do this process? Weigh the paste and then add amount of water into crockpot? Thank you for this helpful video.
Does anyone know the potassium hydroxide amount used in this recipe ,she says we can have the recipie but hasn't given the most important ingrediant,the lye
Its 1am in Australia so in the morning i will look it up and add it in. You can also go in soap calc and tap in the other amounts ive given to give you the amount if you know how to use it. Sorry about that
i have now added the amount in the recipe. if you can see the video i show you all the amounts including the lye amounts when i explain soap calc and you can see the lye amount in the recipe. the amount is 86.04 and remember it is potasium
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you very much,I'm new to making liquid soap,I'm very happy to receive your recipe and I will be making your soap today,very appreciated thank you 😊
There sure is. You don’t need the coconut. Put it in soap calc again as show in the video but use these percentages. 74% olive, 12% Shea, 10% caster, 4% cocoa
Bought a african black soap paste I'm looking on how to make it into liquid soap know that all is needed is water for soap paste but in Google is say to put potassium hydroxide with water thought it was already soap and just needed water I'm confused now. Do you know anyone that know about african black soap paste
Bar soap and liquid soap is made with different lye. It takes time to understand soap making. I suggest making a paste with the elements of ingredients in the soap you have. You can grate it down and add water to make a body wash

Hope you like it! Its a great recipe
Thank you! I learned a lot. I still have questions, but I'm new to this and really haven't really gotten into it too much.
Glad it was helpful! Its such a learning curve but you can adjust the water content to the end also
Hi Gloria
Thank you, I have been trying to get to know how to make liquid soap
Hi there. My Name is Rhonda, liquid soap takes time but once you make it you will always want to continue

Thank you so much for your kindness in showing this I have a question …Can u keep the paste like that, and add the water later when u need to use it ?
You sure can. It will last around 3-6 months like that in a dry place. Store it in a clean jar with lid
This was a great video, thanks Rhonda
Anytime. Your welcome . Glad you enjoyed

Congrats, very nice and detailed work. Is it possible to have a tutorial for laundry machine liquid soap and for washing dishes as well?
I don’t make either of those things sorry
Hello this is great I’m late to the party but have you ever used any additives like turmeric powder or replacing water with aloe Vera? Thanks
Yes I’ve done aloe before but it’s expensive so to keep the price down I use water
I'm new to soaping, and I loved the video, it has been so helpful. Could this be used for a liquid laundry? If not, could you recommend a video or recipe? Thank you - DC
You could use it but i would drop the shea and add more coconut oil. Maybe i will bring a laundry one out
Thank you for this tutorial. It is so informative and good. I am wondering if it needs to add preservative to it? i hope no 🙏🏻

You can use any oil but make sure you put it back through soap sale
Soap calc I mean
Hi There! Thanks So much for the recipe, I noticed you made the recipe four times bigger, do you also do that with the water?
It depends on lwhat you want with the recipe. They all differ a little
Great 👍 video.
How do you determine the quantity of glycerine to use?
I buy it from a supplier. Honestly they are all pretty much the same
Hello, I have questions, is it possible to add detergent agent in this soap or the KOH are detergent too
This recipe is not for detergent as the shea and cocoa butter is a creamy butter oil. You would need to remove butters and up the coconut to create a cleasing recipe.
Hi rhonda, does the lye have to be a certain temperature before pouring into the oils?
No not at all. You pour it in hot water
Hello. Thank u for this recipe but why u use 18%. And are there another percentage used
I’m not sure . Sorry I have over 500 videos but I sometimes alter as required
If you already have a hard soap bar recipe that you love, could you use all the oils and butters from that same hard bar recipe and use it for liquid soap? Plugging everything into the calculator using KOH? Would you have the same qualities of your hard bar but in liquid form now?
I guess you can try but having lots of butters and oils will leave a lot os fat acum left over in the sink.

May I ask at what point do you turn your crock from high to low?
Also the xatham gum - is it the one for baking? Just want to be sure

Liquid and bar are not the same. You need to use a preservative every time you have water in your products.
