I guess you don't realize titanium dioxide is not only a carcinogen but if you research it you'll find it also says it changes your DNA. This ingredient is in all sorts of food and soap shampoo all kinds of things and it should be illegal it is illegal in many nations. People don't seem to care what things are on their ingredient list but after I looked up what it is, & began reading the ingredient labels on everything, I found this cancer causing, DNA altering substance in 90% of everything from soaps to ice cream. Enjoy!😢
I wanted to tell you that a) I love your calm voice B) I made soap for years and stopped for a few years too...when I went back to making it - 3 batches ina row failed. I was so depressed and unhappy. I listened to your video and I was inspired and felt encouraged. Thanks to YOU! I am off to making batches every week. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Your now my hero

Hi Elly am watching while you're doing your demo making honey oat soap hot process .do you sell those clays n colouring agent . please text me back thanks .. regards Helma
You're too hard on yourself. Your soap is beautiful! I love hp soap making and I'm not to big on the fancy soaps. I like simple and natural. Thanks for the video!
you probably dont care but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Carmelo Lennon i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I made this recipe, and it is my go to, I shared a bar with a family member and she loves it. I use our honey and wax from our hives. I shared a bar with my mom and her skin is not as dry as it use to be. Thank you so much for sharing. I doubled it so it last me longer. Amazing recipe for dry skin. I used bentonite clay and I didn't add the titanium dioxide. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it.
It must be lovely being family or friends of yours - there is so much bounty emanating from your kitchen bench and table and you are always so sweet and positive about, well, everyday stuff. It's refreshing in our weird world at the moment. You always make me feel grounded in a positive way, and also of treading lightly on the planet. I haven't made any soaps yet (I think I mentioned already you make me *want* to do it ;)) but my sourdough bread making was transformed after watching your tutorials. Thanks for another cruisy trip into the world of soap 🧚♀️💐 😊
Hi Elly, I watched the cold pressed version yesterday and think I’ll give this ago. Thanks for sharing and all your tips, they always make perfect sense to me.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I am a Newby at soap making and have only done cold process. This is so much easier. To be able to cut the fragrance in half is a huge blessing. I used the same recipe I used in cold process and this came out so much better. Can’t wait to unmold and cut!
I'm making this soap today. I only made 16 0z just to test the recipe. The numbers looked good when I ran thru soap cal. Thanks for the great tutorial.
i just made this soap two nights ago and i i used the scraps from the slow cooker to take my bath that night, i loved the feel on my skin, especially the oats feel for exfoliation. Also, i tried something i learnt from kim at essential soap, i calculated it at 0% SF but added 6% cocoa butter of the total amount of oils as superfat after the cook, also split the batter and scented half with lavendar and tea tree EO, left the other part unscented. i love how you make soaping so simple, your videos thought me how to calculate recipes using soapcalc.net, also learnt how to line molds from you too. thanks Elly, God bless.
I made this soap and it turned out just exactly like your pictures it is the nicest soap only what I did was I let it cure for 6 weeks even though it was a hot process soap and it just made it heavenly
That's great! I'd highly recommend you watch these two videos first, the second one is an easy one for beginners - it's a cold process recipe :) Introduction to Cold Process Soap Making th-cam.com/video/8bKpLWNqAGs/w-d-xo.html Soap Making Tutorial for Beginners - Full Demonstration & Cold Process Soap Beginner Recipe th-cam.com/video/Kc7duzDEa6Y/w-d-xo.html
Lovely soap. I only cook mine for about 20 mins and it's done, have never used ph strips but do the 'zap' test then use a small piece to wash my hands. I also only mix to emulsification not trace but I know what you mean about fiddling with it haha. I always post your beginner soap making recipe for people that are wanting to learn.
Thank you so much Sarah, I love that you have your own methods that you're comfortable with. Thanks for sharing my videos too, I appreciate it very much :)
Thank you so much Elly ! I made my first try of HP soap today, and it turns out pretty satisfying. I wouldn't have done it without your advices and generosity. You gave me the confidence I lacked :) Again, thank you so much !!
i have read alot of articles for CP and now HP, but, during that time i have come back to your channel many many times to listen to your instructions for both soap making methods. took me 3wks to build the courage up to do CP and i have just completed my first HP with a dash of white colourant and johnsons baby powder fragrance. i seem to prefer this HP method because i am impatient - i was shocked how quickly it set up though. i'm stoked that i gave it a go, i like the idea of knowing what ingredients are going into the product that i make... now, more reading to find out more about the different properties of the ingredients i want to use. thank you for the informative content and keeping it simple look forward to new vids
Thank you for sharing! I am a beginner and I love the way you do your videos step by step instructions and you don’t mind sharing the recipe. Thanks again! 😊
I absolutely had to comment on your video!!! I have watched SO MANY tutorials and each one has me more and more lost and confused! You have the most calming voice I have ever heard!!! You had my attention through the entire video! SERIOUSLY, you would be an amazing teacher! I have made a few batches of Hot Process that have not turned out so "Hot" (for a lack of a better word.) However, you have totally inspired me to get my crock pot back out and give it another go!!! Thank you for going over each and every step with us and explaining every detail. I can't wait to get back at it!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Hi Valerie, oh, that's so wonderful! Thanks for your kind words, that makes me very happy! You might like my other HP recipes too. I have a few. Here's my complete video list th-cam.com/users/EllysEverydaySoapMakingvideos
Loooovvve yr video, clear explanation, not Yappy abt nothing haha!!! I must confess I'm an addict soap maker n I learnt something new from you. Thanks 👍
Hi Elly, thankyou for your video. I usually make cold process but have felt uninspired for a long time now. I just made Hot Process with honey, no fragrance or E.O. following your instructions. In the mold now, cant wait for it to harden up and cut! Lovely to hear an Aussie voice too!
Hi from Canada! You are a gifted teacher! I’ve watched all your soap making videos, lol including how to fold parchment paper. Reading through comments and replies has also answered my many questions. Last wk completed your lavender, acv shampoo and charcoal swirl recipes. Used cp for each. Yay turned out amazing what fun! First attempts for soap making, you have inspired me...thank you for your generosity ❤️
Wow! Thank you Patricia! I love that you just went for it, and sounds like you've had some great success! Thanks for your comment and kind feedback, I really appreciate it.
I gave this a go last night due to cold process gone wrong! it turned out ok but not really a pretty sight in the mold. I have been most encouraged by yours and George's videos - thank you so much 🤎🤎
One year ago, I watched your beginner cold process recipe and yours was my first soap I made and looooved it, now I want to try hot process and yours shall be my first... I shall always remember you fondly Elly and thank you soooo much❤️❤️
I wasn't going to make my own soap, but I've become so picky (and frugal) it's becoming a necessity. I do like your presentation, and am drawn to the aloe soap, since it's easy to grow and I already have some aloe. Thanks very much..
Thank you! It was so satisfying to watch you work, and talk as you made the soap. It was much easier to understand the process, as I am a visual and audio learner. You’ve inspired me to give it a try!
You're welcome! Make sure you check out my othe soap making videos, especially the introductory ones I designed just for beginners. The full list is here :) th-cam.com/play/PLMq0_yjUn5Ouf7X_BNMtMHAa4yWeJpk9c.html
I keep watching your videos over and over again, brings my stress levels down, I made your coconut oil soap with just 3 ingredients, it was my first time, it came out great, my husband.and I felt so excited about it, just like little kids lol, thank you ❤
Hi Elly, I have also just made your coconut cp soap today... first soap ever!!! I'm sooo happy with the results ☺. Thank you for all of your videos and for sharing all of your knowledge so openly.
Thank you so much! I am new to cold process soap making and very curious about hot process. It looks like there is more elbow grease involved, lol, but I am not aversed to extra exercise. I am so addicted to soap! I love that it is such an art... Very helpful video and I appreciate that!
Yesterday I made your HP soap. I added orange blossom fragrance oil, because I didn't have a honey F.O., but I felt like it needed some nice scent. It came out gorgeously and smells like real orange blossom, which I love!!!!! It looks a bit different, but very artisan and I love it! Thank you for the recipe, Elly! :-)
Afternoon Elly ,thank you for sharing so much informative vidoes , I'm from Cape Town in South Africa I would like to start my own business. I'm inspired start my own , I subscribe I want to learn more, please Elly put me under your wing , the cold process is my favorite so far . Thank you for the good tutor .
Lovely video! Try adding 1/4 cup of yogurt to the soap at the vaseline stage. Stir, cover again and let sit 5 minutes. You'll have a much more fluid mixture at that point for molding....
Thank you Patti! I have a lot more to learn about hot-process soap making I think! I don't eat dairy foods - do you think non-dairy yoghurt would have the same effect? And why yoghurt in particular as opposed to other liquids?
Ok I see, well all yoghurt undergoes lactic acid bacterial fermentation - so in theory they should work! I make my own yoghurt and other fermented goodies. Plenty of lactic acid in my fridge! Though I'm not sure sauerkraut would be so great stirred through my soap ;) I had sodium lactate years ago but have never used it. I think it's gone now..
A good tip to keep it smooth and creamy consistency before you pour in the mold is to add some plain Greek yogurt that works wonders and it's good for your skin
@@elizastriunga265 you calculated into your super fats so instead of adding the goat's milk you would add yogurt or you can add a little bit of both and it depends on your batch size
Elly, I have learned so much from you and thank you for being such an inspiring teacher. I only make soap for my self and husband and friends. Blessing to you!
Thank you, yes, you can use a double boiler, or just use a large stainless steel pot on the stove! I do this, keep it on low heat and watch it. Very fast way to make HP soap :)
Thank you. Yes, technically you can use it straight away, because the soap is fully cooked and saponified, but I like to leave my HP soaps to dry and harden for about a month so after I make them. They are still a bit soft for my liking when they're freshly made.
I love your videos. I’ve always made cold process soap, until I took a class on 10 minute stick blend hot process soap making which is phenomenal. Changed my life entirely! Hot process is the way to go! 🥰
Hi. I've been binging your soap videos for days now. Thank you so much for your generosity! Can you make hot process soap making using double boiler? Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Very informative video, and such great advice. There isn’t as much info about hot process soap out there, and we are so grateful to you for showing us how it is done. Thank you Love.
I.ve decided to start making my own soap and your videos are so inspiring. Even though you are saying that you don.t have too much experience I love the fact that you're organised and you explain everything so nicely. I am planning to create my first soap which hopefully will include goat's milk, turmeric & honey. In order to add goat's milk to a soap do I need to use the hot making process or the cold one should also work ? Thank you
Hi Alexandra, thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I have zero experience in making goats milk soap, but from what I know you can do either hot or cold process methods. I do know that any milk in soaps is usually used as a replacement for the water in the lye solution, and that you have to keep the milk and the lye solution very cool/cold while you mix them to prevent the milk going brown. You may want to do more research on the internet, there would be a lot of blog posts about it I'm sure! Best of luck, the tumeric and honey sounds like a nice combination! :)
Your voice is so calm, soft and pleasant. And your teaching so clear and simple. I love to watch your videos. Would love to try out. Can I cook in ceramic pot?
Thank you, yes you can use a ceramic crock pot. I'm not sure about other ceramic pots. You can also use a stainless steel pot on the stove on very low heat :)
Thank you for sharing Elly .I always love all your recipes. Your Lavender soap was my first ever soap .I'm definitely going to trying this as my first hot process soap .🇮🇪☘
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I made a cold process honey and oats soap last night .in a new cute honey comb and bee mold .can't wait to use it .The hot process would be ready alot sooner. Definitely must try it 🙂
I wonder if I can add oats to cold process soap without them falling to the bottom. I don't have a crock pot but maybe one day I'll try hot process! Have you ever made liquid soaps? I enjoyed this video (and so did my partner who stopped his Xbox game to watch along as well :D)
Yes you can add oats to CP soap, just take it to a good medium trace and the oats won't sink. Yes, I have made liquid soaps but haven't done any videos on them yet. Maybe one day!
I don't take the temperatures, since it's hot process I just add them in hot or warm - it doesn't mater. I cooked on high initially, then once it really gets going turn it down to low.
Brand new to beekeeping and looking for ways to use my beeswax and this is one way I can definitely use it but I think your wax was super dark cause they didn't clean the wax very much(wax always comes out dirty and you have to clean it several times to get the golden color)
It doesn't really take repeat cleaning - a couple of washes is good, as is filtering later on, but the most important part is to set your wax in a narrow container so you get a tall column when it's set - most of the grot will be at the bottom of the column, and you can simply slice it off and put that bit aside to reprocess later.
Hi Sarita, I like to leave them for about four weeks. All soaps are better with a drying period. It depends on how much water you use in your recipe though.
The soap looks lovely and I enjoyed watching the video as I have never seen Hot Cold Process Soap done before. It is something I would try, its new for me and something to experience.
Cold process soap is made with the ingredients just warm or at room temperature and the soap is emulsified and saponifies very slowly. Hot process, the soap is mixed then cooked to force the saponification reaction - so it becomes soap a lot sooner.
That's great! It's a lot of fun. Thank you. Make sure you check out my introduction to soap making and beginner recipe videos though before you try :) Here are the links: Introduction to Cold Process Soap Making th-cam.com/video/8bKpLWNqAGs/w-d-xo.html Soap Making Tutorial for Beginners th-cam.com/video/Kc7duzDEa6Y/w-d-xo.html
I was wondering, the lye solution seems to be “dangerous” since you’re wearing protection and everything. So is it safe after the soap making process ?
Hi, there is no soap without lye :). If you protect yourself and use the right methods it is safe, and the end result will be a skin friendly nice bar. :)
I so enjoyed watching your video. I have never made soap before, but I would like to try making some and sell this soap alongside the honey from my hives (very small scale) Thank you for sharing your recipe. I was curious, your mix fit perfectly into your mold, how did you know what size mold to use and what size is the mold you used?
Thanks Joseph. This video explains how to calculate the recipe for your mould th-cam.com/video/ZguW6J3Jj2Q/w-d-xo.html I've got lots of other helpful videos here too www.youtube.com/@EllysEverydaySoapMaking/videos
Thanks so much for sharing!! Brand new to soap making, and just made this recipe today; cant wait to unmold it tomorrow! Thanks again for all the helpful tips. Cheers!
Hi Elly. I made this soap a few weeks ago and totally stuffed it up. Nit sure what I did wrong but had to scrape it into the molds. It’s now very soft and doesn’t seem to be drying out. I’m about to try again so my fingers are crossed! Should I bin my failure batch or can it be used to make liquid soap? The pH is good. Thanks for your videos. I really appreciate your time and expertise.
I truly enjoyed your view! Thank you for taking out the time to show us this. I find the more videos I watch the more confident I am to move away from the melt & pour stage.❤️
thanks for this video, so easy to follow. you make making soap such easy art. i want really appreciate you for all the uploads, i learnt how to calculate recipes and line molds with parchment paper from you. thank you again and God bless from nigeria.

You're welcome! Make sure you check out my othe soap making videos, especially the introductory ones I designed just for beginners. The full list is here :)

I keep watching your videos over and over again, brings my stress levels down, I made your coconut oil soap with just 3 ingredients, it was my first time, it came out great, my husband.and I felt so excited about it, just like little kids lol, thank you ❤
Oh thank you Gloria, that makes me so happy! I think they calm me down too :)
Hi Elly, I have also just made your coconut cp soap today... first soap ever!!! I'm sooo happy with the results ☺. Thank you for all of your videos and for sharing all of your knowledge so openly.
I love the look of the soap so rustic..... I bet it must be amazing on the skin too
Thank you, yes it's really lovely! It's a nice hard bar too, so it lasts quite well.
Love they look of your soap
I wish I could smell this. Lovely soap! Thank you for the video
Thanks! I'm still using these bars, they're divine!
Thank you so much! I am new to cold process soap making and very curious about hot process. It looks like there is more elbow grease involved, lol, but I am not aversed to extra exercise. I am so addicted to soap! I love that it is such an art... Very helpful video and I appreciate that!
You're very welcome. Glad you liked it! Hot process soap making is lots of fun.
Loved every process! I can't wait to make my first batch of soap. I just have one problem, i can't find cocoa butter where i live. Thanks for this.
Thank you for your video, I have been making CP soap for several years but struggle with HP. You have inspired me to have another go at it. 😁😁😁
Wonderful! It's easy once you get the knack of it.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank YOU so much for providing us with something beautiful and beneficial to watch, great soap making.
Oh thank you so much. I love that comment!
Thanks for sharing these important skills.
You're very welcome Jen, thank you :)
Very lovely and informative. I have been making cold process soap for a year, hoping to make hot process soon. Thank you.
Thank you, you'll love it I'm sure.
Yesterday I made your HP soap. I added orange blossom fragrance oil, because I didn't have a honey F.O., but I felt like it needed some nice scent. It came out gorgeously and smells like real orange blossom, which I love!!!!! It looks a bit different, but very artisan and I love it! Thank you for the recipe, Elly! :-)
Wow that sounds excellent Sonja! I can just imagine it. Beautiful :)
I learned to never stir or lift the lid. wait until the volcano stage. then stir if you must :-)
Afternoon Elly ,thank you for sharing so much informative vidoes , I'm from Cape Town in South Africa I would like to start my own business. I'm inspired start my own , I subscribe I want to learn more, please Elly put me under your wing , the cold process is my favorite so far . Thank you for the good tutor .
Lovely video! Try adding 1/4 cup of yogurt to the soap at the vaseline stage. Stir, cover again and let sit 5 minutes. You'll have a much more fluid mixture at that point for molding....
Thank you Patti! I have a lot more to learn about hot-process soap making I think! I don't eat dairy foods - do you think non-dairy yoghurt would have the same effect? And why yoghurt in particular as opposed to other liquids?
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking it's the lactic acid. I think sodium lactate will also work. Not sure about other non dairy yogurts...
Ok I see, well all yoghurt undergoes lactic acid bacterial fermentation - so in theory they should work! I make my own yoghurt and other fermented goodies. Plenty of lactic acid in my fridge! Though I'm not sure sauerkraut would be so great stirred through my soap ;) I had sodium lactate years ago but have never used it. I think it's gone now..
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking lol, I can't imagine sauerkraut soap either!
Very well explained video thank you
Thanks :)
A good tip to keep it smooth and creamy consistency before you pour in the mold is to add some plain Greek yogurt that works wonders and it's good for your skin
Yes, thanks. I've since learned about that tip! I don't use animal products in my soap, but plant based yoghurts work just as well :)
What amount of yogurt we can add approximately to this soap batch, please.
@@elizastriunga265 you calculated into your super fats so instead of adding the goat's milk you would add yogurt or you can add a little bit of both and it depends on your batch size
Just a quick question; is this for skin care or other household purposes? Thanks already
I absolutely love you Elly!! You are the best ingredient in soap making!!
Oh Tammy, that's so lovely!! Thank you. You made my day.
You are so very welcome!!
Dear Elly, thank you, I love the way you make soap and explain everything. How many percent does the sodium hydroxide have to have? Love from Germany
Hi, and thank you! I always make sure it says '98' or 99% sodium hydroxide on the package when I buy my caustic soda. The other 1-2% is water!
Elly, I have learned so much from you and thank you for being such an inspiring teacher. I only make soap for my self and husband and friends. Blessing to you!
We are the same! Thank you Marlayne, I appreciate that so much.
Wow! You made This looks a lot easier than all the others I've been watching. Thank you😘. But can i use a double boiler?
Thank you, yes, you can use a double boiler, or just use a large stainless steel pot on the stove! I do this, keep it on low heat and watch it. Very fast way to make HP soap :)
Looks like a lovely bar of soap. I've never used the hot process method. I've always used cold process. It's an inspiring video to watch! ~ Jill Gross
Thank you Jill!
Love this! Can I use this recipe if I wanted to do the cold process?
Thank you, yes you can! You'll just have to melt the waxes and butters with the oils though first, then wait until they cool down before you proceed.
Elly's Everyday brilliant! Thanks for your reply!
You’re a savior ❤️
Thank you for the recipe and also for your generosity, simplicity and clear explanation
My pleasure 😊
Good job Thanks , and How many minute does it take for cooking approximatly ?
Thank you. About 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the heat of your crock pot.
Thanks for this. I found the measurements quite helpful.
You're welcome!
Thanks for the amazing receipe to try out! Is it ready to be used right after you cut them?
Thank you. Yes, technically you can use it straight away, because the soap is fully cooked and saponified, but I like to leave my HP soaps to dry and harden for about a month so after I make them. They are still a bit soft for my liking when they're freshly made.
I love your videos. I’ve always made cold process soap, until I took a class on 10 minute stick blend hot process soap making which is phenomenal. Changed my life entirely! Hot process is the way to go! 🥰
Yes I love that method! Haven't tried it though... Thanks for your feedback :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I am only a year into cold process and never made hot process what is the 10 minute stick blend hot process???
Hi. I've been binging your soap videos for days now. Thank you so much for your generosity! Can you make hot process soap making using double boiler?
Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Hello Rizki, thank you! Greetings from Australia! Yes, you can absolutely make HP soap with a double boiler :)
Thank you Elly
It is fun watching your video
and a fruitful experience as well.
You know! I'm going to give it a try ...
Thanks a lot.
Would love to incorporate goats milk (replacing water in lye mixture) and thought it might be nice in this recipe. Have you tried it?
Hi Jenny, no I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it would work great!
Very informative video, and such great advice. There isn’t as much info about hot process soap out there, and we are so grateful to you for showing us how it is done. Thank you Love.
Thank you, you're welcome.
I.ve decided to start making my own soap and your videos are so inspiring. Even though you are saying that you don.t have too much experience I love the fact that you're organised and you explain everything so nicely.
I am planning to create my first soap which hopefully will include goat's milk, turmeric & honey.
In order to add goat's milk to a soap do I need to use the hot making process or the cold one should also work ?
Thank you
Hi Alexandra, thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I have zero experience in making goats milk soap, but from what I know you can do either hot or cold process methods. I do know that any milk in soaps is usually used as a replacement for the water in the lye solution, and that you have to keep the milk and the lye solution very cool/cold while you mix them to prevent the milk going brown. You may want to do more research on the internet, there would be a lot of blog posts about it I'm sure! Best of luck, the tumeric and honey sounds like a nice combination! :)
Turmeric is good for eczema also.
Your voice is so calm, soft and pleasant. And your teaching so clear and simple. I love to watch your videos. Would love to try out. Can I cook in ceramic pot?
Thank you, yes you can use a ceramic crock pot. I'm not sure about other ceramic pots. You can also use a stainless steel pot on the stove on very low heat :)
Elly did you leave the crockpot on high the entire time? I'm wanting to try this.
No, I think it was high in the beginning as everything was melting, then turned to low.
Thank you for sharing Elly .I always love all your recipes. Your Lavender soap was my first ever soap .I'm definitely going to trying this as my first hot process soap .🇮🇪☘
You're welcome Catriona - thank you. I'm still using this soap and it's great :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I made a cold process honey and oats soap last night .in a new cute honey comb and bee mold .can't wait to use it .The hot process would be ready alot sooner. Definitely must try it 🙂
I wonder if I can add oats to cold process soap without them falling to the bottom. I don't have a crock pot but maybe one day I'll try hot process! Have you ever made liquid soaps? I enjoyed this video (and so did my partner who stopped his Xbox game to watch along as well :D)
Yes you can add oats to CP soap, just take it to a good medium trace and the oats won't sink. Yes, I have made liquid soaps but haven't done any videos on them yet. Maybe one day!
Yes, I really appreciate how you explain everything. This will be a hobby for me. Thank you so much.
You're welcome, thanks Cassie.
May I ask at what temperature did you mix lye and oils? Also did you cook throughout in 'High' in the crockpot?'
I don't take the temperatures, since it's hot process I just add them in hot or warm - it doesn't mater. I cooked on high initially, then once it really gets going turn it down to low.
Your videos are so informative! I absolutely love them! Thank you Elly.
Thanks Makayla, glad you're enjoying them :)
Brand new to beekeeping and looking for ways to use my beeswax and this is one way I can definitely use it but I think your wax was super dark cause they didn't clean the wax very much(wax always comes out dirty and you have to clean it several times to get the golden color)
Yes, that sounds about right. It smelt wonderful. Thanks for your information :)
It doesn't really take repeat cleaning - a couple of washes is good, as is filtering later on, but the most important part is to set your wax in a narrow container so you get a tall column when it's set - most of the grot will be at the bottom of the column, and you can simply slice it off and put that bit aside to reprocess later.
This would be very soothing
Thank you! ♥️
I don't have a slowcooker. Is it possible to use a normal pot instead on low heat?! 🤔
A double boiler would be better, to ensure the heat doesn't get too high. I wouldn't leave it unattended either!
There is also an oven hot process soap. Just do a search for tutorials.
@@Species710 Thank you!
Love how you keep everything clean and natural. The explanation is also very simple and not intimidating at all. Makes me want to try it.
Thank you Fallone, I appreciate your feedback :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Absolutely! Thank you again for sharing all that you do.
Hi Elly
How much time it takes to mature a hot process soap?
Hi Sarita, I like to leave them for about four weeks. All soaps are better with a drying period. It depends on how much water you use in your recipe though.
The soap looks lovely and I enjoyed watching the video as I have never seen Hot Cold Process Soap done before. It is something I would try, its new for me and something to experience.
Hi Elliy what different between calld and hot soup?
Cold process soap is made with the ingredients just warm or at room temperature and the soap is emulsified and saponifies very slowly. Hot process, the soap is mixed then cooked to force the saponification reaction - so it becomes soap a lot sooner.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking thanks Elly🌹😘
Thank you for this video. You have made me want to try to make soap!!!
That's great! It's a lot of fun. Thank you. Make sure you check out my introduction to soap making and beginner recipe videos though before you try :)

I was wondering, the lye solution seems to be “dangerous” since you’re wearing protection and everything.
So is it safe after the soap making process ?
It sure is! This video explains why :) th-cam.com/video/8bKpLWNqAGs/w-d-xo.html
Hi, there is no soap without lye :). If you protect yourself and use the right methods it is safe, and the end result will be a skin friendly nice bar. :)
Thanks Rita!
Thank you for your answers !
What a fun and very useful hobby... I l luv to see people use their creative skills for a good cause...😊
Thanks so much 😊
your voice is beautiful
Thank you :)
I so enjoyed watching your video. I have never made soap before, but I would like to try making some and sell this soap alongside the honey from my hives (very small scale) Thank you for sharing your recipe.
I was curious, your mix fit perfectly into your mold, how did you know what size mold to use and what size is the mold you used?
Thanks Joseph. This video explains how to calculate the recipe for your mould th-cam.com/video/ZguW6J3Jj2Q/w-d-xo.html
I've got lots of other helpful videos here too www.youtube.com/@EllysEverydaySoapMaking/videos
Molds might grow on the oats placed on top. It happened to my first batch of oatmeal coldprocessed soap.
I haven't had a problem with it, but I guess that could happen. Storing your soap in a dry, cool spot is important.
I really, really love this method, simple and oats/honey is my favorite type. Thank you
Very nice tutorial for HP soap.
Thank you Sandy :)
Thanks so much for sharing!! Brand new to soap making, and just made this recipe today; cant wait to unmold it tomorrow! Thanks again for all the helpful tips. Cheers!
You're welcome, that's great Lindsay!
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking It turned out perfect and has a great lather!!
Yay! I love that recipe :)
Thank you so much. I have learn so much by watching you.
Thank you.
Thank u so much for sharing. You make soap making so easy to understand.
You're welcome, thank you Jeanne.
Brilliant video you covered all my questions thanku.😄
You got a really nice texture with your hp soap.
Thanks!
Hi Elly. I made this soap a few weeks ago and totally stuffed it up. Nit sure what I did wrong but had to scrape it into the molds. It’s now very soft and doesn’t seem to be drying out. I’m about to try again so my fingers are crossed! Should I bin my failure batch or can it be used to make liquid soap? The pH is good. Thanks for your videos. I really appreciate your time and expertise.
I truly enjoyed your view! Thank you for taking out the time to show us this. I find the more videos I watch the more confident I am to move away from the melt & pour stage.❤️
Thank you Kay, that's great to hear. Best of luck - it's good that you take your time and enjoy the process :)
I kind of like the dark color. Thank you for sharing!
oh that sounds wonderful... thank you for sharing
You're welcome :)
thanks for this video, so easy to follow. you make making soap such easy art. i want really appreciate you for all the uploads, i learnt how to calculate recipes and line molds with parchment paper from you. thank you again and God bless from nigeria.
Oh thank you so much for your feedback. It means a lot!
