In this video I show you how I make a simple cold process olive oil / castile soap with added carrots. Olive oil makes a very mild & gentle soap that’s suitable for sensitive skin. Carrot puree gives the soap a natural yellow color.
Remember to wear proper safety equipment when making soap. Gloves and eye protection are required.
I calculate my soap recipes with this lye calculator: soapee.com/calc...
○ Cold process castile soap recipe with carrot puree:
Total batch weight: ~860 g
600 g olive oil (100%)
100 g distilled water
70 g cooked and pureed carrots
10 g citric acid
83.2 g lye (77.2 g if not using citric acid)
(31.2% lye concentration(including the carrots), 5% superfat)
8.4 g lemongrass essential oil
3.6 g ginger essential oil
Cure the soap for at least 4 weeks before using it on your skin. Castile soap benefits from a longer, 3-12 month cure.
○ Citric acid information
When citric acid and lye (NaOH) are combined, sodium citrate is created. Sodium citrate works as a chelator in soap.
A chelator traps metal ions such as calcium and magnesium that can be found in tap water.
These metal contaminants can cause rancidity and soap scum in handmade soap.
A chelator binds to these metals so that they can’t bind to the soap molecules. This way the soap won’t react with them and the soap's lather improves + shelf life increases.
Citric acid does not lower the pH of soap. Instead it consumes some of the lye and increases the superfat. Add 6 g extra lye for every 10 g of citric acid added to a soap recipe if you want to keep the superfat % at the same level.
How much citric acid should be added to soap?
Usage rate in bar soap is 1-2% of the oil weight.
How to use citric acid
Add citric acid to the distilled water and dissolve completely before adding the lye.

Have the workbook looking forward to using it
- love the vids
Watching you prepare soap is so soothing. No talking just showing!
🥰
I love Castille soaps! I have some that are aprox 1 years old and they're so gentle. I even have a nice lather with them. I made a carrot and hemp seed oil loaf tonight, I can't wait to try it. This is stunning and I will have to try this method of adding to the oil. Beautiful and Thank-you for sharing.
Thanks for being so generous and sharing your in depth knowledge. The detailed information about citric acid is very much appreciated. Loved the video and recipe.
Happy to help☺️ Thank you!
I'm a beginner in soap making and preparing for personal use..I'm following your videos also which are nice, simple and awesome👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼your outcome are completely mesmerizing me❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can’t take the cutie pie at the end of your videos! Soooo precious and s/he loves his /her mamma ❤❤❤❤❤
I subscribed immediately because you impressed me with your work. Big thanks for this opportunity you have given me to come across your channel
Red Palm Oil is great if you still wanted the orange look after saponification. I don’t know if you’re into hot process, carrots end result is great too with the Red Palm Oil and Olive. 🌹
Thanks for the tip😊
My second time making soap I used Red Palm. It came out and incredible yellow! Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you I was looking for a recipe using carrot which doesn’t require palm oil.
Beautiful video one suggestion prep the carrots the night before save the carrot water that you boil them in freeze them in ice cube trays in use that for your lye liquid
Thank you for the tip☺
Been watching your videos this evening. They are all lovely. Quite interesting how this soap lightened. I made soap with carrot juice and olive oil and it turned out quite yellow-orange... thanks Always.
your videos are so calming, i love them 😊
Thank you🥰
I made this once n I use red palm oil and that added a natural ‘carrot’ colour to the batch. A nice sharing and good quality shown in your batch. Thanks for your sharing.🙏😍
That sounds nice, thank you🥰
I'm so obsessed with you!!! Your content is just lovely. Thanks for the detailed recepie. If you don't mind could you tell me about the shelf life of soaps made with pureed vegetables and fruits?
I hope it’s a couple months
Aw thank you🥰 I'd use within 12 months
What is the size of your loaf mold used in this video? Thank you!
Great video, I love carrot soap!! Carrots are a great natural colorant, although, as someone mentioned, there's nothing like red palm oil to give you a gorgeous, long-lasting yellow color.
Really liked that you add citric acid to the soap recipe, I NEVER had issues with DOS in soap again, after making it a mandatory ingredient.
By the way, I'd advise to give minimum 8 weeks to cure castile soap. Less than that and the soap might dissolve too fast in the shower.
Cheers!!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us. A beautiful bar of soap❤️❤️❤️
Thank you💕
Everything you make is PERFECTION. THANK YOU❤️🙏🏻🌎
What a lovely video AND soap. Thank you for sharing.
That's a simple one yet a good one. Love your videos.💗😊
Thank you so much❤
Thank you for this 😍 I'd like to ask how to determine how much carrots or other fruits/veggies we can put in the soap? is there a specific ratio? Thanks..
There's no set ratio, it depends on how much water you want to use in your recipe. For this recipe, the carrots make up about 40% of the water. Since the carrot puree is not 100% water I used more water than I normally would. If you have a very high water vegetable like cucumber you could replace the water with it completely. I hope this makes sense😁
I made it excellent! Thanks for sharing
Aww love the video and the dog!!
Lovely soap - well done!
I too love and look forward to your videos - thanks!!
Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that❤️
I love all your videos 💐🏵️🌻🌼🌺🌷 i love soaping too ❣️
Thank you Simona💝
Good morning M. can you make a video for the carrot lotion please
Hello, I have really enjoyed watching your videos. thank you for doing them. I find them very easy to follow so much so that they really encouraged me to go for it. I made 4 of your recipes so far and the experience has bee exhilerating. Except... for this one. I did it exactly as you showed but my soap was crumbly. Are the water - lye quantities correct? Or did I miss something? 100 g of water to 83.2 g of lye? Thanks
Thank you! Sorry to hear that. The quantities are correct: 83.2 g lye, 77.2 g if not using citric acid
I am very glad to see you
You added natural carrot puree will the soap get spoild soon because of that natural ingredient?
Can we add other vegetables this way?
I love your videos and look forward to them, they are so relaxing and calming, is there anything you could add to the recipe to get more bubbles.?
Your doggie looks a cutie pie. 🐶
Thank you so much🥰 Adding sugar helps with bubbles but carrots already contain sugar. Low bubbles is pretty much what you get with 100% olive oil. With time the lather does get better, but it's still more creamy than bubbly. I prefer a bastille recipe with 70% olive oil and 30% coconut oil.
I wonder if caster oil would help add bubbles.. not sure...
@@elaineroth4361 Castor oil helps more with sustaining lather, it would be interesting to see what a small amount would do to a castile soap :)
@@elaineroth4361 yes but only at 1-2% or your soap will be too soft
@@tellervo.Hey how are you, any tips on adding sugar (temperature, in lye or in oils, liquid or granules?
Beautiful 😻. I luv it honestly 👌🥰. Thank u 🙏
Thank you🥰
Thanks for the great sharing. What exactly is your purpose of using citric acid?
Thank you very much for shearing your videos.I want to ask you , the temperature between ley and oil are different? Thank you very much.
Can it be used lemon juice instead of citric acid?
Thank you so much 🙏🌻
Would there have been some disadvantage of using the carrot puree (versus straining it away)?
Very nice thankyou
Can we make this recipe in coconut 🥥 oil. Because we are in Pakistan and weather is Hot.
Thank you. Excellent recipe. Can olive oil be replaced with another oil? .😍
I want to make carrot soap, but I don't have olive oil. Is there an alternative to it? ❤
You cannot substitute another oil unless you recalculate the the lye appropriate to the new oil
Thanks for sharing ☺️☺️💖💖👌
Why we need to cook the carrot first?
hi, for the carrot grams, u deduct from distilled water?
I’m loved it!😘
Wonderful video & soothing music , I'm new to soap making but do u have add lye ???
Thank you! Yes you have to if you want to make soap
Super. I have a question , even if i boiñed the carrots into a distiled water I might need the citric acid? 🤪thank you
Citric acid is just optional, but you can read about the benefits in the description box☺
This is awesome
Hermosísimo jabón 👏👏❤
Thank you💕
thnx for sharing , i have a question : if i want to add honey and turmeric powder how to reformulate the recipe ?
A small amount of each can be added to this recipe
I love your videos 💓💓💓💓
What is the life span of the soap?
Eu gostaria de saber se possível alguém que fala português se saberia me dizer se ela cobre a barra tipo com papelão, cobertura coisa assim ao deixar descansar por 24 hrs. Agradeço se alguém souber e puder responder 🇧🇷
Why use citric acid???
Which essential oil we can use instead of Ginger essential oil?
Decide for yourself
Would it be the same if you cook the carrots and put them in distilled water and then freeze them an ice cubes before putting the lye water?
Yes I think that might actually be better and result in a smoother finished product☺️
@@tellervo. Oh perfect thank you so much for the response I will try it and I’ll let you know how it came out
Do you mean that if I use citric acid I don’t have to use lye? Please
I appreciate your answer and I thank you you in advance.
It’s me again. I misunderstood what you wrote. No. Please disregard my earlier comment/question. Thank you
No worries😊
Hi, do you consider essential oil in superfat?
no :)
When you puree food, vegetable, fruits, it will rot.
Purees are fine to use in cold process soap, as long as there are no chunks🙂
Pentru spumă,eu adaug zahăr sau miere,o linguriță.
What of not removing the carrot residue
The carrot puree needs to be very smooth without any bits to avoid spoiling
I must ask, how do you get the essential oil fragrance to 'stick' in your soaps? I can't get the fragrance to remain no matter what I do, I have used ecocalc, and different brands of oils.
Firstly, I tend to stay away from essential oils that are know to fade really quickly, like lemon and orange.
I also think that essential oil soaps are a different thing than fragrance oil soaps and accept that some, although not all, will have a lighter scent.
One option you might want to try would be to anchor the essential oils by adding some clay and letting it sort of swell a little before adding it to the soap batter.
Temperature is importantly well. Heat degrades the oil so I use ice of any kind,,water, milk, tea , juices for my lye liquid. That really helps retain the odors for a longer period of time
@@tellervo. I did noticed that my lemon essential oil soap did dissappear completely.
Thank you for the tip about the clay to anchor it, I haven't tried that yet. Next batch of soap I will! Much appreciated
@@donnastormer9652 oh, I did not know that heat was such a big factor. I'll keep a closer eye on the temperature for my next batch. Thank you!
I find the essential oils that stick in soap are tea tree, lemon grass, eucalyptus and peppermint. I have soaps that are a year old that still have a strong scent with those essential oils.

Bonjour , j'adore regarder vos vidéos , tout est ... presque parfait ... pourriez vous s'il vous plait faire des vidéos avec comme bande son une autre musique que le piano ou les musiques d'ascenseur , du rock n roll ou du heavy metal par exemple ... je vous suggère Rammstein ou ACDC , en effet , je regarde une vidéo , puis 2 , puis 3 et a la 4eme , je commence à m'endormir ... une suggestion , vous enregistrez la première au piano , et vous en faite une seconde au hard rock , pour les gens comme moi ... je vous garantis que l'on serait beaucoup plus à vous regarder ... le piano , tout le monde le fait ...
merci encore
Flo de France
Hello, I love watching your videos, everything is ... almost perfect ... could you please make videos with a soundtrack other than piano or elevator music, rock n roll or heavy metal for example ... I suggest Rammstein or ACDC, indeed, I watch a video, then 2, then 3 and at the 4th, I start to fall asleep ... a suggestion, you record the first at the piano, and you give it a second at hard rock, for people like me... I guarantee you that we would be a lot more looking at you... the piano, everyone does it...
thanks again
