I love so very much how you show the simplicity of a plain soap. My recipe, learned in the 1950's is even simpler. And my grandma that taught me was even simpler still. Yes, the beautiful, scented, colored and molded soaps I see so many of are lovely, but most of the time I just want a good, cheap, basic soap.
@@lindachandler2293 Yes, old recipes are usually the best! It’s so hard to find soap without scent these days, that’s what inspired me to learn how to make my own. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching! 😊
Very cool! I save all the fat from cooking ground beef and purify it. It’s great for baking, but soap is what I wanted to do when I first started keeping it. This is a nice and simple start.
@@lukepippin4781 Thank you for saying so! Let me know how your soap turns out. I have a lot of soaps I want to make and film, I am curious about a ghee soap for my next soap.
@@Gamesaresuper No not my skin, but everyone has different skin types. I also have a video up where I make soap with olive oil and that soap is very gentle! Link below: th-cam.com/video/U-KZmF3ghgA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FVkyWKVyI3jKYJWv Thanks for watching!
This method used a cold process, so no. The soap needs that time to saponify. This is a lye soap and lye is a critical ingredient in the soap-making process. It reacts with oils during the saponification process to create soap and glycerin, changing the liquid oils (tallow) into a solid soap bar. 6 weeks is needed to complete this process. Thank you for watching!
@@ramonaesch7863 I’m not picky as long as it says 100% lye. The brand I used for the soap in this video was ‘ROOTO Household 100% Lye’ but I would use any lye brand from a hardware store.

Do you age the soap bars at all before using? Thank you.
@@theeastman9136 Yes I do. I age the soap in a cool dry area for 6 weeks before using it! Hope this helps, and thank you for watching!
Let’s see u make lye from wood ash next!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I have always wanted to try that. That would make a cool video I think I will make it. Thank you for your comment!
Does it dry your skin after using it?

What is the smell like? 😅
@@Violeta_hzl It smells like plain unscented soap.
U could add EOs for scent & possibly skin enhancements
Like, lavender or tea tree or carrot seed - all 3 for diff things or combine EOs.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I like the idea of carrot seed oil! Thank you for the idea, I will try it and experiment with other essential oils!
