Make Your Own Coconut Oil & Olive Oil Soap 🧼
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2020
- I document the process of making my first batch of soap from home using only two oils, coconut and olive oil.
Since the filming of this video, I have perfected the measurements:
453g Coconut Oil,
453g Olive Oil,
137g Sodium Hydroxide,
344 Distilled Water, (Rainwater works too),
1 once Lavender Oil. You can choose how strong you want the fragrance. By calculating using a soap fragrance calculator. Light scent (1.7oz) 41g, Medium (2.20) 62g, Strong (2.94) 82g.
I recommend you use a soap calculator online to make sure your measurements are correct.
I'm not 100% sure why my soap wasn't hard enough to cut after just 24 hours. It could be a few things, The Sodium Hydroxide container lid wasn't secured well when I received it so I'm assuming it could have absorbed moisture and seeing as I didn't use an electronic scales my measures could be off a little. Either way the soap has hardened up well. We'll see how the next batches go with the right tools.

That drill with the credit-card taped at the end made my day! So, that's how a handyman makes great soap! He reminded me of my twin brother...improvisation and simplicity!
I love the fact that your video is real... And with what you already have at home... You can make your first barge of soap....
You Trial and error is greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing.
Wow so easy thank you! 😍👏🏽
Nice I like the way you have kept it simple with minimal ingredients thanks!! I’ll try hope it turns out well
Best of luck! This recipe makes a great soap.
I really liked your video. Your humble attitude 🙂
He’s right to the point I like that some of these woman keep talking and talking about nothing….I like him..I appreciate you…thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍
I'm making some with olive oil, baking soda & coconut butter for Fathers Day in the nursery, currently sweating over it setting 😅 smells good but I only mixed it with a spoon & used a yoghurt pot as a mould so when we do it properly I think we'll be ok as mine currently has mostly set between fridge & freezer
This was almost as good as watching a cooking show. Nice Work man! BTW you need to recruit sum of these guys asking about the boat & put them to work on it. Doubt they could handle working on a wood boat though.
you are such a beautiful soul❤ it shows in your video
You make life interesting thanks
this is a good beginning for us as soap making This was one of my first soaps i made for my store and it sold like hotcakes La Wicca Products
Greetings from sunny Spain 🌟💕 I'm gonna try making this soap.
Thanks for watching. Best of luck!
Nice soap
Great content thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it
Loveeeed the drill xD lol
i made your soap it was great ...thanks iam gonna use it from now on
Fantastic! I am happy to hear this.
iam making some today...it lathers up well...and i use it .i gave some out iam waiting for the feed back... easy video good job
Happy to hear you are enjoy it and that it turned out well.
Would this recipe work for a 2 lb soap mould? Cant tell but that seems to be about the size mould you used.
That's about right. I made by box to match the store bought soap box dimensions.
Caustic soda is caustic, right? Is that good for your skin? I read somewhere that you can use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) ??
most of the recipe ive seen use baking soda , even by companies that mass produce it.
*No longer caustic after the chemical reaction.*
Yes you can make soap using baking soda (NaHCO3) it's a mild alkali although it's not as efficient as NaOH (Caustic Soda aka Sodium Hydroxide) during this process you have to heat the mixture to encourage the saponification process and this will create Carbon dioxide (Co2) You have to be careful not to cause a volcano reaction. But you need a lye solution, before sodium hydroxide was readily available people used to create it themselves using ashes and lime. Sodium Hydroxide is totally safe to use, after the chemical curing stage and allowing to dry for three weeks any sodium hydroxide that has been used has long dissipated. I was worried at first before reading more into it, now ever since I've published this video I've continued to make my own soap using caustic soda which I use myself and give some to friends and family.
The drill 🤣 my dad made something similar with the drill for me to blend the soap 🤣
pour moi je ne sais pas comment sa fait le savon en fabrication avec les ingrédients, merci beaucoup pour la vidéo
Gow much did you superfat it?
Nice video
Thanks
What is caustic soda?? What happens if it gets left out? I just want to use coconut oil and olive oil
Caustic soda is Sodium Hydroxide. You can buy it at most hardware stores and it can be also used to unclog a stopped up drain. Sodium hydroxide combines with the oils in a process called saponification. When that process completes all of the sodium hydroxide should be used up so you have to make sure to use enough oil to use all of it. If it's not all used up the soap could burn your skin. There are soap calculators available online which will tell you how much of each ingredient to use. Here's a link to one I use. www.soapcalc.net/calc/soapcalcwp.asp
I think it took longer cuz you didn't mix it enough, bring to full trace. I have never seen lye water added after 5 minutes, usually it's cooled 100 to 110 degrees, that may play a role in it.

Can I used lye instead of baking soda?
I think caustic soda is another name for lye.
This is probably a silly question, but does it lather?
Yes very well
Does it leaves the skin feeling soft.?
Yes it's a nice smooth soap which lathers well and leaves your skin soft
Thanks I need that .
After how many days can we use this soap?
@@NaveenKumar-mi4zj After 4 weeks you can guarantee your soap is safe to use. You also need to wait 4 weeks so your soap has hardened and will last a longer duration of time.
Dime cual la fragrance q tu poneste? Y es para el banho este soap?
Lavanda
Can I ask a question? If you need a mask face protector gloves etc when using caustic soda what makes you think its safe to put all over your body? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
If you've watched Fight Club you'll know how harmful Sodium Hydroxide is to our skin in it's raw form but once mixed with oils/fats and having gone through the saponification process it is harmless. It is necessary to create unified bars of soap. You could even use the soap after 24 hours of curing but we tend to wait about three weeks for the soap to harden fully. Lye has been used in soap production for over 4 thousand years.
I have made many batches since this video and neither myself or others have any issues using the soaps on our bodies. Hopefully my comment has helped you.
👍👌👏
Just curious about something. Instead of a base (NaOH), can an acid be used instead to saponify?
🥰👌🏻🤗
(Nearly four years later) How was the soap?
Fantastic. I've been a good few more batches since.
INice video - but I can easily spot that you didn't mix it well enough. The mixture when poured was waaay too liquidy...
This soap makes foam or not?
Yes it makes a great foamy lather
Essential oil brand??
I don't recall what brand I used. But any one will suffice. Just make sure it is 100%
love this , are you Irish ?
Thanks. Yes I am
Your male thinking went super manly ...who needs exact measurments ? Classic dude right there!
In never mentioned the exact measurements in the video but I have listed them in the video description. Thanks for watching.
Hi can I get the recipe please 😊
I have since perfected the recipe. These are the measures I use each time. 453g Coconut Oil, 453g Olive Oil, 137g Sodium Hydroxide, 344 Distilled Water, (Rain water works too), 1 once Lavender Oil. You can choose how strong you want the frangrance. By calculation using a soap fragrance calculator. Light scent (1.7oz) 41g, Medium (2.20) 62g, Strong (2.94) 82g.
You know jow to improvise
Thanks, But you have never mentioned the measurement of coconut oil and olive oil and others
I didn't mention the measurements in the video but I have them listed in the video description.

What about the boat
Is that a cannabis plant growing behind your left shoulder?
No it's a bamboo of some sort
Not good son. Your like and lye did not saponify. I'm surprised you had any soap at the end. Good on you for trying though😊
I since have used a proper stick blender which works the best, The drill just wasn't powerful enough to bring it to trace
I still got lovely soap
@@LakesideProductions that's great. Why don't you invest in a stick blender? It will do a brilliant job of saponification.☺️
@@LakesideProductions just saw this. Good for you. Now make some great soap!😊
Clickbait
How so?
