I have been making soap for three months now and yes, I have been to Morocco many, many times. I used the soap in the hammam and even brought some home. I plan to make this soap since avocados are easily found in Texas. Thanks, I subscribed!
I live in Florida and have avocado trees on my property. I love them! I have the larger variety, they have a light green skin and bright yellow flesh. Has a slightly different flavor but still delicious. I have made lots of soap with avocado 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑
I have a tip for year round avocado puree. You can freeze the pureed avocado pulp mixed with a little oil in the amount you need in your specific recipe . It stays a vibrant green and you can take advantage of times when avocados are on sale in your area . I freeze my puree in disposable condiment cups with lids they freeze well then just defrost before adding to your batch ..
good morning. I want to thank you for answering my question , I am in love with this video , too bad I can not give more Likes , the peace of mind that comes with such a serene voice , I can only thank you for having found this video , thank you very much , your follower of❤❤
Love your video,I love avocados, and i live in Spain up in the mountain,surrounded by Olive, avocado trees. So I am so excited to try this,and your fresh avocado video I have just watched. Thank you.
Fantastic job Sarah, these look wonderful, and yes I have softened a plastic container too, learned to wait a bit for cooling, thanks so much for sharing.
Hello ma'am İ love your videos and very appreciate every detail you give💜 İ wanted to ask İf my baldi soap came almost watery and İ was looking for a gel like soap how can İ fix it?
@@SoapSchoolUK i fixed it. I think i just had to cock it until it hardens by itself like you said😌 but now it’s not too hard which is what i want but dry not like your consistency! Which i made like your consistency before and but this time it didn’t work:(
Hiya Carol, I hope you like it. It is a fairly stiff paste so if you prefer it softer simply increase your water amount early on. Let me know if you like it :)
Hi Sarah, what a lovely soap. I love, love, love avocados. How nice to have extra hands. I've used beldi soap before but never been out of N. America. Thanks for sharing and even the reminder to not put hot soap into a plastic container. LOL
Good morning ma I have a lot of baobab oil, almond oil and castor oil. Please how can I use them to make cold progress soap.i your method of teaching ma. God bless you greatly. Thank you.
Wow great video .AS ALWAYS very informative & introducing everyone to new & for some of us never herd of before soap. Well done like ALWAYS. This is a absolute MUST TRY ASAP. Yes I love avocados I could make a meal out of them. I personally like the hass the best. I like to batter them up & fry them. Not all the time but every now & then that preparation is so yummy. There are alot of other ways I prepare them as well.
Wow Laurie, I have never heard of fried Avocado! Must try that one - thanks for sharing. I am so thrilled that you enjoyed todays video. Sometimes I can't control myself lol, I go off on a tangent and have to try things out and I haven't made beldi for a while now so I thought you might like my playing around video
Thank you for taking your time to do this for us. I know just how to make bar soap and liquid but long time I didn't make them. So my question are... - Can I calculations my solution from Soapcalc website? - Or I can use my hard bar formular by soapcalc, and just replace NaOH to KOH and also adjust superfat? If I can how many % is good for superfat this soap? - What is the website for calculations the Beldi Soap? Thanks
You generally use very different ratios and oils in liquid soaps but yes you could use the SAP calculator to determine your lye amounts. For beldi you calculate the Koh and the naoh separately so more maths
Loved this video, Sarah! Thanks so much for sharing. I was wondering if it would be possible to use an old canvas piping bag to pipe into the jars, when the paste has cooled down a bit??
What a great idea Erlynn, The paaste is quite thick but you could easily increase the water to make it softer and therefore more pipeable. Thanks for sharing!
I love avocado for skin, it grows well here so I recently bought a grafted tree. I eat it as well but I use it more for the skin. You did an exceptional job with the soap and the oil substitution. 👏🏾
WOW Well done!!! I have 2 questions number (1) when making this soap I would be looking for the Vaseline stage to know it's completely cooked yes plus a zap test or check the ph right? #(2) Whats the expiration time on this with and without the avocado or olives etc... Please and Thank you. Yes I'm a HUGE FAN of avocados!!
Hiya Rita, Q1 you are correct. Q2 I have batches of this going back over 5 years and still as good as when it was made. I have olive beldi going back over 10 years, it has never changed but it will dry out if it is not airtight when being stored. So glad you like it. This is a stiffer traditional beldi but if you prefer a softer beldi you can increase your water amount or dilute after making.
lovely video!! I tried making black beldi saop last night. PH was 10.10 is that ok? does it lower over time? it's supposed to be 8-9 ? and when I cure the soap paste, do i leave it for two weeks uncovered ??? Thanks for any tips!!
Hiya Caroline. That's a bit high. Give it some time to settle, you might have not cooked it out fully. If it remains high, add a small amount of citric acid in solution to knock it down
Ok. I cooked it 3 and a half hours. But my slow cooker took really long to heat up . It was 180 only the last hour i think. Maybe i should have kept it going longer. It was a beatiful transparent paste so i stopped . Does it get more solid over time? My is jelly like but the original is quite firm.
@@carolineengel9328 Yes I would try and get it heated up before you start next time as it makes a difference for sure :) . You can dilute the paste if you prefer it softer
If you are not using puree you will need to increase the oil by that amount. The pureed olives contain high oil content that is calculated into this recipe
Hi Irene, it doesn't really have an odour but you can absolutely use any fragrance or essential oil you like. Morocco sometimes use peppermint of even eucalyptus oils
Hi my dear first I want to congratulate you for this wonder. , I'm your new subscriber I'm from Switzerland I have a question I would really like a soap made from goat's milk if I'm going to make it can I use the same amount of avocado in milk ??? thank you very much if you answer me❤❤❤
If I use tamarind instead of mashed avocado. Which part do I have to reduce or increase? Because tamarind doesn't have any oil in it like avocado or olives. Thanks
Yes, I need to get a new mitt to do that really. I sometimes use this like a mechanics soap with ground pumice in it to get the in-ground oil off the hands
I mention the cooking at around 8 minutes. It depends on your temperatures and the method of cooking so will differ for each person. Some will be an hour and others could be much longer.
In its natural beldi state many years. If you add lots of additional water to dilute it, you will need a preservative and the shelf life would be reduced
@@jovitaalexander1152 You will need a broad spectrum preservative with a suitable ph range of 8.5+. Have a look at your local or usual soap making supplies company and see what is available to you as they vary hugely from area to area.
African black soap is also made from oil and lye. The big difference is the lye is not sodium hydroxide but is instead derived from plant ashes (potash). This plant ash is rich in potassium carbonate which is a fairly gentle lye compared to sodium hydroxide. It's a common misconception that there isn't lye in the African black soap, when it actually occurs naturally vs us putting it in. You cannot have soap without lye: synthetic or natural.

It's such a great ingredient so I am so happy that you like it Penny
Great soap! Thanks. And yes! I love avocados and guacamole, I eat it a lot!! 🥑
Hiya Sara, sounds delicious :) We are always amazed when wwe see the size of Avocados overseas compared to the ones on sale here

Hiya Renee, those extra hands are super handy at times :) Avocados for the win! It's great to hear that you have used beldi before
is it like making a saponification normal soap and its just warm process or needs more % of water in the formula? thanks in advance
Its neither a solid soap nor a liquid soap, it is a paste formula

this is the best part of the shower ( beldi soap )

Could you please put a link on here to find a similar crockpot ?
We buy ours from Argos or Asda generally
We use soap dezyar in the hamam algérienne also that's in Tunisia

Wow very nice! Keep up the good work!
Hi Madame, Beldi Paste Soap is the same curing to Cold Process as 4 to 6 weeks?
Emily As it is hot processed it is safe to use once cooled but a week is better
Could you use sodium hydroxide and change it to a hard soap using the same recipe? Thanks so much for sharing your expertise 💜
The recipe is designed to be a soft soap so even with sodium hydroxide it would be a softer soap.
Do you have to use purée ? Or can you simply use the oils only?
If you are not using puree you will need to increase the oil by that amount. The pureed olives contain high oil content that is calculated into this recipe
Madame, how to measure the potassium hydroxide? Same Soap calculator? Thanks
What degrees was the soap at when you took it out & put it in the jar?
I'm not sure but I did mention the temps in the video so by the end of the cook probably a little higher than that
if you said it, I missed it. was there a superfat in this recipe? 1%?
Lovely looking soap. What does it smell like? And could I add any scent?
Hi Irene, it doesn't really have an odour but you can absolutely use any fragrance or essential oil you like. Morocco sometimes use peppermint of even eucalyptus oils
Beautifuuuuuuuuuullllllll 😍
Hi my dear first I want to congratulate you for this wonder. , I'm your new subscriber I'm from Switzerland I have a question I would really like a soap made from goat's milk if I'm going to make it can I use the same amount of avocado in milk ??? thank you very much if you answer me❤❤❤
Yes you can use exactly the same amount :)
@@SoapSchoolUK good morning. Thank you very much for answering me, I was waiting for you to answer me. I'm going to organize the products.❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺
It looks like something to put on toast!
Full of deliciousness for your skin :)
Wow
How do you dilute this? Can you make it into a liquid soap since it's a paste with the glycerin added?
You can dilute it in hot water 2 parts water or more to 1 part soap paste but traditionally it is used as a paste
You both are superstars Sarah and Shawn. That’s awesome! What are the measurements for each ingredient pls?
Thanks Emily :) The recipe is in the description under the video for you to enjoy :)
How can i calculate glycerine in soap? Is it considered oil or water or additive?
Hi there..What would the shelf life be of this soap?
Around 2 years
@@SoapSchoolUK Brilliant....does it require a Preservative or does the alkaline level suffice to keep it from going rancid?
@@a.i.s.1 doesn't require a preservative
I will try this recipe soon. What exactly is the name of the plastic jars and do you have any links for purchase. Thanks.
They are kilner jars or preserving jars Tabatha
@@SoapSchoolUK Thank you.
It the same from Hot Process? But it became Paste...?
Emily Calubayan yes it is hot processed
Nice! What was the total cooking time for your beldi soap?
Usually 2 hours but can be 2.5 hours depending on the temperatures. Each crock pot cooks slightly differently
Have you thought about using a piping bag to fill your containers?
Thats a good idea for this - thanks for the suggestion!
If I use tamarind instead of mashed avocado. Which part do I have to reduce or increase? Because tamarind doesn't have any oil in it like avocado or olives. Thanks
How long will this soap last?
Many years
Can also mix a little castor oil for bubbly purpose madame?
Emily Calubayan yes castor is a great soaping oil 👍
@@SoapSchoolUK Thank you Madame
DID YOU JUST ADD THE GLYCERIN IN THE OIL MIX?
Yes
great thanks!!!

Would love to see a lather test with this Beldi soap 😊
Yes, I need to get a new mitt to do that really. I sometimes use this like a mechanics soap with ground pumice in it to get the in-ground oil off the hands

Why would you put a hot paste into a plastic container?
Because I am human lol :)
Can you give us the percentage of the ingredient plz plz may god blesse you
