You know what the egg after cut reminds me of? How some hard boiled eggs’ yolks look a greenish black when they were boiled a while ago and sat in the fridge. Bet it’s something to do with the way the proteins change when exposed to heat!
I'm a food scientist, not a soap maker, and I wondered when I saw the green center of the egg soap if it is a similar reaction to what you get when you hard boil eggs and don't cool them quickly enough. The iron and sulfur compounds in the egg yolk will react and give you that greenish film. It makes sense that the center of your soap would have gotten the green color because it wouldn't have cooled as quickly as the outer edges would have. Just a thought from someone who enjoys soap videos but doesn't actually make soap hahaha. I'm also curious about the "gel" consistency some of you have been talking about. I don't know much about soap making so I was curious about what was meant.
I just made a batch with blue butterfly pea flower powder and it turned brown. I’d love to see it stay that beautiful blue but so far, the three times I used it, they all turned ugly brown 😢. I think I’m done with it
Pulverized strawberries might add a nice scrub and scent. Mixed with a bit of yogurt or coconut milk and it's strawberries and cream! Or, other fresh fruit such as citrus + something herbal like basil or cilantro. I've also seen a line of nail polishes made with natural stuff like ground stones or herbs - Death Valley Nails has a line, that seems like it might be fun as a soap colorant.
Okay but the egg one?? to me it's technically mayonnaise soap since mayo is an egg+oil emulsion hahah! Wasn't expecting an egg soap but im here for all the freaky experiments and this made my day!! Thank you Katie for another funny vid and wish you and your family a Happy New Year!🎉❤
Eggs contain sulphur in the white and iron in the yolk, so I would guess that the color in the middle is some reaction either between them (remember how the yolk in an overcooked hard-boiled egg looks) or between them and the lye, so mainly pH induced (Chinese century eggs comes to mind).
As a consumer and not a soap maker whatsoever: I'm kinda curious of the nightmare additive of mayo/garlic aioli or ketchup/tomato paste. Seems outlandish but not too crazy with the dairy or water content that the yogurt or egg had.
You definitely could add those to soap. I wonder if the garlic would leave an off scent though! I have tried tomato. Mayo is mostly oil and egg, so I think it would do really well.
@@RoyaltySoaps I’ve been watching your videos for a few years and have always wondered something. How long does a bar of your soap last, usually? Have you ever demonstrated using one?
I loved this! As a goat's milk soaper, when you started soaping at 100 degrees I was like, "Ahhh!!! Katie! Noooo!" Hahaha. I loved the egg! I've been thinking about trying it just because it seems so WEIRD! Lol. I love how it gelled green. My husband thinks maybe because hard boiled eggs do that when they got hot? I almost always soap with aloe and goat's milk. but I've also tried juice, beer, and Scotch (for an anchorman soap) as a water replacement. I like to try out additives. My favorite strange one is soap nuts! I'd love to see you compare something like that with maybe a salt soap, high starch or sugar, etc...
I make shampoo bars with egg yolks (1 yolk per 250g of oils) and my hair just LOVES it! I've had loafs gel but no weird green centre. It is very very soft at first but hardens just fine after the 4 weeks cure. No funny smells but I use essentials oils. Sea water makes great soaps! Thank you very much, you're so fun to watch (and informative!!)
Egg yolks are probably adding some protein and some superfat. Mayonnaise hair masks have been popular for decades for these properties! Your shampoo bars probably smell better though!!
Egg has been one of the most loved shampoo ingredients for centuries, if you look at old shampoo recipes from pre and early industrial revolution, almost all of them have egg. Makes hair super strong and shiny. You can still buy some big brand shampoos with egg protein, but not very often. The yolk and the whites both carry benefits for hair and scalp health.
Definitely interested in seeing how different fruits react. Melted chocolate would be an interesting one- I don't think it would work but I can see this series going viral if you try some really wacky options that are just disastrous!
I’ve used avocado, loved it. All milk and hated it as it never stopped smelling “off”. I use cream or coconut or oat milk at about 5% and that is nice. I’ve seen banana used and wondered about it. Used beer and it was ok but wasn’t worth the trouble for me! Fun video!! 💕💕
I make a banana soap and it's scented with cinnamon, clove and benzoin and smells like a banana dessert!! It's very creamy and lathery. I do love milks in my soaps coconut milk is definitely my favourite.
I think I do agree that the biggest *notable* difference comes from using a milk (goat, cow, coconut, almond, etc) but as a creative person, I get so much joy out of just playing around with soap recipes. I would definitely say to give avocado, carrot, or banana a try for something more "typical" but also I'd love to see you try something a bit different like flax or chia seed gel, or fresh aloe, or silk. (Also I've made soap with egg before and really enjoyed the final bar!)
I've heard of using an egg many years ago but I'm a vegan soap maker I use soy yogurt often and I've used wine once before not champagne. If you add a bit of spirulina to the cucumber the green you love will come back. This was a fun watch now I see what an egg soap looks like. Pretty cool. Thank you.
Hello katie. You should make soap with orange, mango, watermelon and banana/pineapple. Then with zuchini, carrots, tomato, sweet pepper. Seamoss, seaweed, flavour tea, & brew coffee. I would love to see you make soap with those. Happy new year to you & your family. Have a bless 2024 Thanks.
I use buttermilk or cream powder in every batch and it does make a difference in the creaminess. On occasion, I've added sugar or honey as well that helps of course with bubbles but you are right everything else is just fluff. Thanks for doing this I've wondered how these things soaped.
I like to get special ingredients while I'm traveling and come home and make a "souvenir soap". Most recently I added cherry brandy from a trip to Germany!!
I love how you explained the 50/50 solution and then the additive for the extra water weight. You make this way easier!!! I’m so happy you did this. You encourage me to try soap making even more!!! Happy new year and hope your year bring lots of fabulousness!!!!
Tellervo did a wood ash soap video. They rendered the lard themselves, chopped down a small tree, and strained the wood ash through straw to get the lye. It's terrible soap, but the process is fascinating to watch. Tellervo also did a beautiful tomato soap.
Evan and katlyn just added makeup to resin with safiya nygaard. Could you do the same to colour your soaps? Mica in eyeshadow, lipstick in the oils, etc. Safiya would be an awesome collab
@@KtP370 thank you! I appreciate the info! Someday I want to make a batch of soap, but I don't have the resources to experiment... I make cuticle oil for myself and family, and so have jojoba and maracuja on hand... Thought it might be easy to translate my oils into soap but couldn't find any evidence online to confirm (or deny)
I liked your idea of watermelon. Maybe strawberries, or maybe some other melons like honeydew or cantaloupe? Maybe even a combination? I've never made soap myself, but I find what you do really fascinating. Thanks for the videos. They are always so much fun and creative. Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to seeing all the new stuff you come up with. 🥰
Thank you for doing this video. I have been contemplating adding oat milk to my soap, but couldn't wrap my head around how to do the addition without increasing my water content.
I have a cow. I milk her, skim the cream, churn it into butter, pour off the buttermilk, and use that as water replacement in my bubbles soap bar. Raw buttermilk soap ❤ It is very different from using a commercial buttermilk, which usually has thickeners added. I make it as one of my unscented and uncolored offerings for folks with skin sensitivity.
@@skyydancer67 as far as I can tell from a quick internet search, buttermilk is made with a bacterial culture and thickens as it ferments lactose into lactic acid, and kefir is made with a bacterial and yeast culture, which makes both acid and alcohol (not enough to be regulated) as it ferments, so it is also thickened.
I really enjoyed this video, I put odd stuff in my soap that I make quite a bit. But I’ve never used an egg. I mainly do hot process soap, so I use yogurt in most of my soaps. Pumpkin was actually probably one of my favorites that I’ve used in soap. It made it rich and creamy. I’m gonna try an egg and some cold process soap though. Thank you for this video.
i like the over boiled egg look on the egg loaf. how does yohurth, egg and cucumber stay good, will the soap go off or rot? and how about salmonella? does a batch et hot enough to kill it or would pasturized egg be better? dunno, I'd be scared so thank you for trying these things for us
The soap could never warm up and the lye would kill any pathogens, the saponification reaction uses the water and most of the oils in the soap so it is unlikely to rot, that being said you can’t get salmonella unless you ingest the bacteria. Don’t eat soap.
The strong alkalinity of the lye should kill off(or at least prevent the growth of) any bacteria or molds that may be in these additives, preventing rot or spoilage.
I laughed at soon as you cut the one with the egg and thought it looked like a yolk of hard boiled eggs, you know how it turns color when you don't cool them after boiling.😂
Eggs are really useful in baking because they make blending oils and water much easier, which could be why they're added. The luxurious batter made sense to me there. The green tinge also reminded me of when you over-boil an egg and the yolk goes black, so I wonder if it was a side effect of the egg overheating as the soap gelled?
I have been so curious about how eggs would do in a soap! Whenever I go to wash a bowl after scrambling eggs I've noticed the water would bubble up in itself, so I really expected a whole lot of lather boost in that one! I personally use the minimal ingredients aside from adding in stuff such as oatmeal, charcoal, etc but I have been wanting to experiment some with other things... I haven't been making soap but for about 3 years :) I hope that 10 years in I'll be just as excited about trying new things!
So, when you overcook a hard boiled egg, the yolk gets a green coating from the sulfur and iron in them. I bet the green color is from the sulfur and iron part of the egg getting hot during gel phase since it is only in the middle.
I’m curious about lanolin as an additive? Should make the soap really silky. Plus I recently read that Victorian/Edwardian ladies sometimes used it in their hair, so I’d be really interested to see lanolin in a shampoo bar too!!
I saw a product line yesterday saying they added juice from ginger root. In all honestly the products were liquid soaps - dish soap, body wash, and soap, and there was a lotion. Said it supposed to be invigorating. I would love to know if it would make a good soap bar additive.
I've heard of folks adding silk to the lye water - small strands snipped up (to help it dissolve) apparently feel good in the final soap. Someone else added spider web since it has many of the same proteins as silk, which I can see the logic of, but couldn't bare to try! 😮
I just made a few batches of soap with homemade oat water. I let whole oats soak in distilled water for a few hours then strained through cheese cloth. Then I froze it in an ice cube tray. I used 100% oat water (frozen) mixed directly with the lye. But I do like the idea of adding it to the oils instead and using a 50/50 lye solution. So I may do that next time. It was very thick after it mixed with the lye, kinda like slime lol So I really didn’t know how it was going to turn out. I was so surprised that it actually slowed down trace and I felt like I was mixing for a long time! I tested the bars today and turned into some REALLY amazing soap! The lather is really moisturizing, it literally feels like lotion! Highly recommend!! Next up: Dead Sea mud soap!
This was a lot of fun to watch. I am a soap maker, although only for a little over a year. I only make goat milk soap, so I have no other experience. I think I might try some of these now. Thank you. ❤
I use yogurt, and goatsmilk....the trick is to freeze it and either sprinkle the lye or use refrigerated lye water.....reduces or eliminates the scorching.
I am very glad you tried these additives. I love different additives but my cucumber, AloeVera and coconut milk unscented soap is a favorite of mine and my customers. I use my own AloeVera from my garden and I don’t peel the cucumber. It has a beautiful green huge that quickly disappears and turns into the most white and hard soap ever! I love milks soaps, but carrots juice and papaya add something special imo and I love them as well. Finally for a vegan silky feeling I use corn hair? Not sure is that is the name. I add it to the lye water and works really well. Regarding eggs I make two different shampoo bars , one with the egg yolk for dry hair and another one with the egg white for normal hair along with beer. At the end like you said , any artisan soap is a good one. Thank you
when i had oily skin& body acne clay or lemon soap was my favorite. both were slightly gritty (if it had the zest) and both kept the skin polished& oil under control. really cool video!
would love to see you experiment with different exfoliants/gentle abrasions. would also be cool to compare all the "milks" such as nut 'milks' and dairy milks
My hubs and I made some soap yesterday, just with some olive oil and our rendered leftover fats from pork and beef. Added some oatmeal and honey, as I've noticed there's a big difference, and the animal fats work better in our heavy water here
Holy moly, I'm so used to seeing you use the stick blender for soap, I didn't even realize it wasn't made FOR soaping! XD Also, that color morph was nuts! and, LOL off to CLEAN start. So cool! C:
I did an eperiment during my melt and pour hobby phase where I boiled and strained some cherries that were at the "starting to look unappetizing but not rotten" phase into a thin syrup and added it to white goats milk glycerin soap with cocoa buter. I wasn't aware of magic color morphs and shocked it turned gray instead of some hue of pink or red. Granted they were dark cherries but my syrup was a dark reddish hue and the soap white. It smelled so awesome though.
I have made soap with garden fresh tomatoes and another one with lemon and lime juice. I did not care for the tomato soap; it was too acidic for my skin. The rest of my family did not have an issue with it though. The batch got to rest for a couple years and was not a problem on my skin then. The lemon/lime juice was really, really nice.
I love this video, experimenting with soap it’s really cool. I hope you try again with other things like avocado, goat milk, melon, watermelon, turmeric and cocoa powder 👀👀
I can tell you off the bat that if she used too much cocoa powder, she will ruin her wash rags and stain her sink some. It also doesn't really do much save color your soap.
It would be cool if you could do a video comparing different exfoliants (poppy seeds, pumice, etc.) I use ground roasted chicory in my soaps and it would be interesting to see different exfoliants being used side by side
I would so watch a series on "wierd additives" something soap makers would use and also something so unthinkable just to experiment with it... safely obviously lol
I have a mulberry tree in my yard. After picking some one day, and looking at the resulting blue fingers, I thought - hmmmm, would it make blue soap. Nope. Looked like normal coloured soap as soon as I added the lye. I used monkey farts fragrance oil (I was aiming for a natural soap, but that went out the window when it went back to natural colour). Lovely lather. I froze the puree before adding it to the batter and added citric acid in the hope it would prevent discolouration. I still have some mulberries in the freezer. May have to make another batch.
You should do an entire video dedicated to mistakes. Like overheating gel phase scorching separating. That way we can see what it looks like for curiosity's sake
Love this video. Using different additives has made things really interesting and answered questions I'm sure you had about each one. I love a new adventure in trying something new with a project. Good going girlie!
When I was a kid my favorite fancy soap (from some health food store) was one with royal jelly from bees. No clue what affect that actually has on soap, but it was hexagonal, which was the coolest thing in the world to me at age 7
I’ve made Shampoo bars with an egg. It actually works really well for my hair. I did use an egg from my hen, so maybe I should try this method next time with a store bought egg, and see what happens. Love ❤️ the content
OmGOODNESS watermelon smells nice and if you blend the seeds as well you will have small little black specks in your soap. And yes your soap will be a light peach color so beautiful. Please try. I did two, one I froze in the ice 🧊 tray and the other I didn’t. Because of the sugar in the watermelon 🍉 the one that I didn’t freeze scorched a little. So I will be doing it again, but I will do the one that I make in the freezer.
You know what the egg after cut reminds me of? How some hard boiled eggs’ yolks look a greenish black when they were boiled a while ago and sat in the fridge. Bet it’s something to do with the way the proteins change when exposed to heat!
I find the green is usually a sign of being over boiled.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Omg a series called "Will it Soap?" where you add random ingredients to soap would be so fun to watch!!
I'm a food scientist, not a soap maker, and I wondered when I saw the green center of the egg soap if it is a similar reaction to what you get when you hard boil eggs and don't cool them quickly enough.

butterfly pea flower tea would be fun to add, or any tea that changes color with pH values
I just made a batch with blue butterfly pea flower powder and it turned brown. I’d love to see it stay that beautiful blue but so far, the three times I used it, they all turned ugly brown 😢. I think I’m done with it
Pulverized strawberries might add a nice scrub and scent. Mixed with a bit of yogurt or coconut milk and it's strawberries and cream! Or, other fresh fruit such as citrus + something herbal like basil or cilantro. I've also seen a line of nail polishes made with natural stuff like ground stones or herbs - Death Valley Nails has a line, that seems like it might be fun as a soap colorant.
Okay but the egg one?? to me it's technically mayonnaise soap since mayo is an egg+oil emulsion hahah!
Wasn't expecting an egg soap but im here for all the freaky experiments and this made my day!!
Thank you Katie for another funny vid and wish you and your family a Happy New Year!🎉❤
“Body Aioli”
@@demonsrun425 😂😂😂😂
I figured egg has about 11g of oil/fats in it, so it would add to superfat as well.
😊
Eggs contain sulphur in the white and iron in the yolk, so I would guess that the color in the middle is some reaction either between them (remember how the yolk in an overcooked hard-boiled egg looks) or between them and the lye, so mainly pH induced (Chinese century eggs comes to mind).
As a consumer and not a soap maker whatsoever: I'm kinda curious of the nightmare additive of mayo/garlic aioli or ketchup/tomato paste. Seems outlandish but not too crazy with the dairy or water content that the yogurt or egg had.

I've heard of folks adding silk to the lye water - small strands snipped up (to help it dissolve) apparently feel good in the final soap. Someone else added spider web since it has many of the same proteins as silk, which I can see the logic of, but couldn't bare to try! 😮
I just made a few batches of soap with homemade oat water. I let whole oats soak in distilled water for a few hours then strained through cheese cloth. Then I froze it in an ice cube tray. I used 100% oat water (frozen) mixed directly with the lye. But I do like the idea of adding it to the oils instead and using a 50/50 lye solution. So I may do that next time.
It was very thick after it mixed with the lye, kinda like slime lol
So I really didn’t know how it was going to turn out. I was so surprised that it actually slowed down trace and I felt like I was mixing for a long time!
I tested the bars today and turned into some REALLY amazing soap! The lather is really moisturizing, it literally feels like lotion!
Highly recommend!!
Next up: Dead Sea mud soap!
One of my favorite videos you’ve ever made! So cool!
This was a lot of fun to watch. I am a soap maker, although only for a little over a year. I only make goat milk soap, so I have no other experience. I think I might try some of these now. Thank you. ❤
I use yogurt, and goatsmilk....the trick is to freeze it and either sprinkle the lye or use refrigerated lye water.....reduces or eliminates the scorching.
Anytime you bust out that purple mold I get so excited!!! It's always something new and different
very fun video!! i'd love to see more videos where you work with goofy additives like this!
*adds a whole egg* "Nothing unusual." 😂
I am very glad you tried these additives. I love different additives but my cucumber, AloeVera and coconut milk unscented soap is a favorite of mine and my customers. I use my own AloeVera from my garden and I don’t peel the cucumber. It has a beautiful green huge that quickly disappears and turns into the most white and hard soap ever! I love milks soaps, but carrots juice and papaya add something special imo and I love them as well. Finally for a vegan silky feeling I use corn hair? Not sure is that is the name. I add it to the lye water and works really well. Regarding eggs I make two different shampoo bars , one with the egg yolk for dry hair and another one with the egg white for normal hair along with beer. At the end like you said , any artisan soap is a good one. Thank you
I think this says more about the quality of your soap base than whatever you added. Clearly you have a good soap!!
when i had oily skin& body acne clay or lemon soap was my favorite. both were slightly gritty (if it had the zest) and both kept the skin polished& oil under control. really cool video!
Yes yes old school soap 😊😊😊 yummy 😋 soap and toast lol
OH I haven't even seen this all the way through and I am so excited! I love learning about how things work. :D
This was a very interesting and fun video to watch!! I’d love to see a similar video with more “unique” ingredients!
would love to see you experiment with different exfoliants/gentle abrasions. would also be cool to compare all the "milks" such as nut 'milks' and dairy milks
Oatmeal soap with a very light fragrance is really nice for my sensitive skin.
I love your videos it’s so good
My hubs and I made some soap yesterday, just with some olive oil and our rendered leftover fats from pork and beef. Added some oatmeal and honey, as I've noticed there's a big difference, and the animal fats work better in our heavy water here
Holy moly, I'm so used to seeing you use the stick blender for soap, I didn't even realize it wasn't made FOR soaping! XD
Also, that color morph was nuts!
and, LOL off to CLEAN start.
So cool! C:
I did an eperiment during my melt and pour hobby phase where I boiled and strained some cherries that were at the "starting to look unappetizing but not rotten" phase into a thin syrup and added it to white goats milk glycerin soap with cocoa buter. I wasn't aware of magic color morphs and shocked it turned gray instead of some hue of pink or red. Granted they were dark cherries but my syrup was a dark reddish hue and the soap white. It smelled so awesome though.
I have made soap with garden fresh tomatoes and another one with lemon and lime juice. I did not care for the tomato soap; it was too acidic for my skin. The rest of my family did not have an issue with it though. The batch got to rest for a couple years and was not a problem on my skin then. The lemon/lime juice was really, really nice.
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE VIDEOS!!!
Definitely want to see you add some apple!! Maybe try a creamy liqueur to see if the alcohol/milk combo will work well?
I love this video, experimenting with soap it’s really cool. I hope you try again with other things like avocado, goat milk, melon, watermelon, turmeric and cocoa powder 👀👀
I can tell you off the bat that if she used too much cocoa powder, she will ruin her wash rags and stain her sink some. It also doesn't really do much save color your soap.
This was fun, Katie! I've always been curious about different additives
I want to get into soap making, its something that's always interested me!
It would be cool if you could do a video comparing different exfoliants (poppy seeds, pumice, etc.) I use ground roasted chicory in my soaps and it would be interesting to see different exfoliants being used side by side
*B roll of an egg rotating with nice music*
Egg
I would so watch a series on "wierd additives" something soap makers would use and also something so unthinkable just to experiment with it... safely obviously lol
I have a mulberry tree in my yard. After picking some one day, and looking at the resulting blue fingers, I thought - hmmmm, would it make blue soap. Nope. Looked like normal coloured soap as soon as I added the lye. I used monkey farts fragrance oil (I was aiming for a natural soap, but that went out the window when it went back to natural colour). Lovely lather. I froze the puree before adding it to the batter and added citric acid in the hope it would prevent discolouration. I still have some mulberries in the freezer. May have to make another batch.
The egg soap was wild with the green circle lol
You should do an entire video dedicated to mistakes. Like overheating gel phase scorching separating. That way we can see what it looks like for curiosity's sake
Love this video. Using different additives has made things really interesting and answered questions I'm sure you had about each one. I love a new adventure in trying something new with a project. Good going girlie!
It would be fun to see one soap with all four additives in it. Great job, per usual.
When I was a kid my favorite fancy soap (from some health food store) was one with royal jelly from bees. No clue what affect that actually has on soap, but it was hexagonal, which was the coolest thing in the world to me at age 7
I've never been able to overcome the mental ick of an egg in soap and the green in the middle of that one doesn't help any 😂
I’ve made Shampoo bars with an egg. It actually works really well for my hair. I did use an egg from my hen, so maybe I should try this method next time with a store bought egg, and see what happens. Love ❤️ the content
Love this video!! Thanks for taking us along on this test!
OmGOODNESS watermelon smells nice and if you blend the seeds as well you will have small little black specks in your soap. And yes your soap will be a light peach color so beautiful. Please try. I did two, one I froze in the ice 🧊 tray and the other I didn’t. Because of the sugar in the watermelon 🍉 the one that I didn’t freeze scorched a little. So I will be doing it again, but I will do the one that I make in the freezer.
I'd love to see more videos about other additives! I'm really curious how pine tar works in cold processed soap :)
I make whole egg soap, 2 per batch. The yolk of 2 large eggs acts like 10g of canola oil, and the whites bring 76g of water.
I love your videos. The best. 🎉
