Soap Recipe Formulating - My Notebook Layout - Time for an update!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 เม.ย. 2023
- Hello my soap making friends, I hope you enjoy this video demonstrating my basic method for formulating and setting out my soap recipes in my notebook, as a hobby soap maker. I am not qualified in chemistry or skincare formulation, I am completely self-taught! But these methods have served me (and many of you) very well over the years. This video shows how I do the manual calculations for citric acid in soap making, and brings together all the basics I've talked about on this channel over the years.
Keep your eye out for Part 2 of this series where I demonstrate making the 'Flower Soap' that I formulated in this video. It turned out lovely!

I got my degree in chemistry and am now working as a chemist in the pharmaceutical industry but I’ve always been so interested in soapmaking. This year i finally decided to go for it, so I’ve been researching and watching all kinds of videos. I loveeee watching your videos in particular because you speak my language! I love numbers and ratios and chemicals, it’s just how my brain works things out. Thank you for not dumbing it down; your technical videos make me so excited to make my first batch of soap! I’m still purchasing supplies, but it will happen soon!
Oh yay!! Thanks so much Anastasia. That's high praise for me :)
I want course
Hello Elly, from far away Ghana in West Africa, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your videos have inspired me to take up soapmaking, and I've been at it for nearly two years now. I'm on retirement after a very active life and your videos have been a game changer for me. I'm so grateful. ❤❤❤
That's so wonderful Josie, thank you!!
This is so helpful - all of your tutorials are clear, and I think you may be the only person who breaks down math in such a way that I don't have an anxiety attack! Always grateful that you share so much. Looking forward to experimenting with citric acid.
Thanks Mira, so glad you found this helpful. The CA is a great ingredient!
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I'm with Mira on this one ~ Anxiety feeling when creating the soap calculator! Thank you so much! 🥰
haha you and me both
I print all my recipes off Soapcalc. I store them in a 3 ring binder in sheet protectors. I add notes before and after I make each soap. I cycle through a variety of recipes. I continue to experiment with different oils and additives. Like you, I gift my soaps to friends and family. I get their feedback. This is, by far, the exciting skill I've learned. I still get goosebumps when it's time to cut into a soap.
Ooh, I love that. I considered printing my recipes, but I like to tweak them all the time! There's something magic about my little notebooks. I love them.
Lol I was just going to type this. I’ve been keeping my food recipes and personal care recipes in binders with sheet protectors. I don’t know why but I kept losing my little notebooks and sheets of paper with my notes and recipes 😂 never to be found again.
What an AWESOME tutorial. I just became interested in soap making so I am trying to get some knowledge before starting. I have searched many videos and became overwhelmed trying to understand but then I came across your videos; yours is the only one that I am able to understand thus far. I feel like I'm in "virtual" soap making school. Thank you so much for sharing! I look forward to making my first batch soon!!
Wow, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! I'm glad it helps. I'm looking forward for your first batch too. :)
I thank God for how your mind truly simplifies complex configurations. I followed your instructions on adding citric acid for my laundry soap bars to turn into the powdered & liquid forms. They turned out perfect!!! Although my liquid laundry detergent turned into a thick white goupy substance, I lost my beautiful golden pourable viscosity, but it still cleans our clothes & dishes very well. I learn the "why's" from you, which I truly like knowing. Thanks again Ellie 🤓
Thanks Monica, the same has now happened with my laundry liquid too! Turns out my weather was warmer than I realised and it gelled eventually as the days got cooler here.
Exactly the same with me too. I have a semi white gel of liquid soap from the making of your lovely easy peasy newest liquid soap recipe. But it is still very good, and easy to manage. 1-2 tablespoon scoops in the washing machine or hand wash bucket. I had to decant it from the gallon container to a 3L plastic tub. as it wasn’t pourable. Perfect. I wonder if it was because I added a little citric acid water to the water as there was none in the soap bar? I didn’t change anything else. Or the colder weather in the UK? What do you think?
I think it's the colder weather. Mine went to gel as soon as the season changed.
I've not made the laundry soap yet, but wish to, and our house here in central TX doesn't really vary much yr-round from 16C indoors. Should I just leave it in an open container from the start?
This was a GREAT tutorial. Straight forward and really easy to follow. This is the most useful recipe design video I have seen. I am new to soap making and this is such a gift. Thank you.
Wonderful, thanks Lisa!
From Israel . You are the best for me in the media.

Thank you so much for your effort❤God bless it helps us a lot as a newbie on soap making.😊
What an excellent video! I'm new to soap making & i don't just want to follow a recipe, I'm quite curious to know WHY certain ingredients are in specific ratios & what exactly they do to eventually formulate my own recipes. This video is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you so much for making it easy for me to understand. i'm off to watch the other mentioned videos.
Love this explanation!
Lovely, thank you!
Such great information!! Thank you!
Have you ever thought about releasing a book with some of your recipes in? You’re so knowledgable and you’ve got all the content already, so it could be a nice little earner for you as I’m sure many of us would buy it!
Thanks so much Shaun, yes it's on my to do list! I need to JUST DO IT!!! 😄

Ti seguo già da qualche anno, e senza le tue spiegazioni dettagliate non avrei capito molte cose. Se nelle scuole ci fossero insegnanti che sanno spiegare le cose come le spieghi tu, le cose sarebbero più facili per tutti. Sei davvero bravissima, grazie per ciò che fai e condividi con noi ♥️♥️♥️
Oh grazie mille! Apprezzo molto le tue gentili parole. Sono così felice di aiutare :)

What a super updated calculation video. I had to smile when I saw that your white board has sprouted legs!!!😊 Many of your videos got me started over a year ago and I thank you for that very much! All the very best to you!
Ah thanks! I bought a bigger whiteboard! Very handy for my office. Thank you, so glad you enjoyed this.
So much math!! I love it!!! I am so glad I found you channel. Thank you for explaining it.
Your videos are the best, so clear and well paced. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Wow! Elly, you have a new fan here in Tennessee! Though I gotta say, think a few brain cells may have spontaneously imploded with all that math! I love you work it all out first before using a calculator. There are some things that just need to be worked out by a human first 😀. You are a fantastic teacher and looking forward to checking out your other offerings!
Thanks so much Michelle, I'm sure you've got more brain cells now after watching that, not less 😂
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Perhaps a couple more, wouldn't want to get a big head! 😉 Getting things pulled together to make my first batter! Watching all your videos and love the added guidance and lessons learned.

Hello! Fellow soaper here. I can't believe this is the first time I'm seeing your videos here, but glad I found you. I did a soap calc tutorial, but to be honest I actually like to write my recipes in a notebook too!!
Wonderful! Thank you.

Elly thank you for the power packed video- as apt as you and you comprehend it so well. It was a refresher to all your videos!!! Thank you, Alpa
Thanks Alpa!

Great lesson. This helped me understand the other videos better. Thanks
That's great Khalilah, you're very welcome.
Un grand merci pour vos explications claires et détaillées !!! Créer ses propres savons est pour moi un loisir très gratifiant et vos vidéos m'ont vraiment beaucoup appris !!!
Je t'en prie!
Elly! Thank you so, so much for all of your videos! They're so clear and concise. I'm devouring all of them and am ALMOST ready to make some soap. I'm going to use a wax as one of my "oils," however, and am having a hard time because it's not in any of the calculators (bayberry wax.) So, I'm going to have to do all the calculations by hand. Wish me luck!
Thank YOU, Elly! This is SO helpful. You are so clear to explain. You should consider formulating a whole course on a course platform (I would be your first student). You are just great. Thank you SO MUCH for your time, for your generosity to share your experties/knowledge with us. Thank you! 😍😘
This is a WONDERFUL tutorial on just what I needed for my soapmaking! Thank you for making it clear.....and yes, it is CLEAR.....and for making it an enjoyable video to watch while absorbing all the math!
Wonderful!
You are a wonderful teacher, ur smiles while teaching is amazing 🤩 😊
Thanks 😊
My pleasure 😊
Wow, thanks for sharing. Your videos are so informative and just what I was looking for.
You are so welcome!
Thank you very much
you're welcome! :)
Wow!! You are so generous and thoroughly comprehensive in your explanations, I wonder what el your subscribers get!! Do you go to their houses and make the soap for themselves?? 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for always remembering such important concepts in soap making to all of us!!
Hugs from Argentina!!
Thanks Ramiro!
Thanks Elly. New soapmaker here. I'm grateful for this guidance ❤️
