Thanks for watching everyone! 🤗 This is the well behaved neem oil soap recipe, if you are interested to make it th-cam.com/video/yN618RLuKUA/w-d-xo.html (had no issues with the New Directions neem oil). Also make sure you check the video description for all the other relevant info including water amounts to use for rebatching 😊 See you again soon! Elly x
Hello I have questions that maybe offsubject of this particular video. I have allergies to coconut and tree nuts, it is hard to find soaps (liquid or solid) without them. So I reaching on how to make my own 100% olive soaps for my personal use. My question is: Where is the olive oils coming from? What type of olive oil is being used? Are people using cooking oil from the grocery store or does it have to be special ordered? Do you a post about where to get your oils? Thank you much for your kind and gentle instructions!
Ahh…it was a hot process soap to start with. Didn’t realise that. Rewatching 😊 Or, maybe that was a slip? Why wouldn’t you gift that beautiful soap that’s been ‘milled’? Twice the work = twice the price 😊😊 A precious gift indeed ❤ As are you
I too was wondering if I needed a slow cooker for a rebatch... Could I fix a soap by this method if it's too soft... I used to much of soft oils in one of my soap recipe and it's soo soft...
@@janicedias_sowgrowanddiy As far as I know, if after 7-14 days soap is still soft, it is unlikely to harden. I was taught to formulate using 40% hard oil or butter + 60% soft oil and also add sea salt + sugar into water before adding lye.
This just happened to me a few hours ago. I was so bummed. I was recording as well lol... I was able to get it into the mold but not able to do a swirl. I placed it in the fridge because it got really hot. Took it out of the mold and it's not too bad. It was the fragrance oil I used. Lesson learned for a beginner. Thanks for the video.
Elly I just want to say thank you! Three months ago I rebatched Castile soaps that did not set for 4 days. I felt sick about wasting the ingredients. But your video ( older one that shows rebatch mistake soap) saved mine! It came out ok. Thank you for all you do.😊
Many thanks for sharing this information! I have had this nightmare to happen on several occasions; mainly because the fragrance that I thought would be great for it would accelerate my batter! UGH!
Thanks for sharing Elly! I had the very same problem with a neem soap! I used the hot process method too, to save it. I was wonderful soap! Greetings from Guatemala!
Oh really!? That's a nice confirmation for me, thank you. I used the Neem Oil I bought from a local market for this recipe, but clearly it was quite different than the other neem oil I used (the one from New Directions was lovely and no issues at all). I guess they mix it with another oil which caused the acceleration?
Ok is it just me or does Elly's soap look like a scrumptious piece of bread. 😅 You are such a great teacher. I have seen others rebatch soap, but the soap comes out looking somewhat crumbly. I recently took the leap of faith and participated as a vendor in a craft show. I sold soaps and other products. My # 1 item that sold was a body cream in a particular fragrance. Many asked me if I had the fragrance in a soap. The reason why I do not is because it accelerates like crazy. I will now attempt to make the soap and if my plan goes south I now know I can save the soap. Thank you so much. I have learned so much from watching your channel.
Sorry to bombard you with comments, Elly. Didn’t mean to give you extra work in Replies. Albeit I know all interactions boost your revenue so glad to help ; ) ; ) xx
Thanks for showing a rebatch soap. I have not been able to find a second hand slow cooker so it was very nice to see one done on the stove top. I think they look nice enough to give as gifts. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks Brenda, unfortunately they weren't ready in time for the housewarming party, but I will give some to the family when they are ready. I think they'll like them all the same :)
I sent you a message on your website re: using your 100% Olivier oil liquid soap. I’m doing exactly what you doing here: heating the paste and adding water. When I plugged in my stick blender, I pulled the plug on my crockpot instead of my toaster. Old houses and their limited numbers of outlets. Mine is a circa-1947: post WWII building materials shortage so some unique methods and materials. The demand for housing from returning soldiers found all sorts of creative ways to build homes. I’ve seen a video where an old trolley car formed the core of the home, Here, in Amer Fork, Utah, the building department folks told me about a couple of home built of ammunition boxes filled with newspaper for insulation. My house I’d old mining timbers taken from a nearby silver mine in a local canyon. Said canyon (American Fork) also being the source of the spring used for the local water supply.
This is a really helpful video Elly! Thanks. It's great to know how easy it is to process Now I've rebatched some soap myself, thanks to your advice a week or so ago, I want to say, it's not at all the drama I thought it might be.
I found this video especially useful, I had a batch seize like yours when I first started making soap, i panicked (because that's what I do) and threw it out, I was really disappointed but now I know how to fix this problem if it happens again. Mine seized after I added the essential oil I am much more careful now. It's nice to follow a fellow Aussie soap maker. Thankyou for all of your great videos.
I had this problem too with my third batch of soap, a purely cleansing recipe. I grate some and scrub the bathroom with it.I wanted to rebatch it,but there was so much heat within the seized soap that I was afraid that putting it on the stove would cause an explosion .I therefore cut what I could get into a loaf mould into a few bars and after 2 weeks of curing use it as laundry soap
Aloha! It's been a bit over a year since I did my last (beginner) soap batch...'cause "life happens", but today I decided to try your Honey Castile Shaker Soap. It's funny that I find this video just after I've finished. I almost had a soap-on-a-stick type situation because I used Plumeria Fragrance in my batch, which caused a very quick trace in the shakers (I had to use 2 smaller shakers for lack of a larger one). I was wondering if I was going to have to pull out my s/s soap saucepan to save it somehow. Luckily, I was able to get it all scooped out and smoothed (ahem) into my molds before it became unruly. Thankfully, it seems to have worked out and I look forward to checking on it after a bit. I hope Grandma (98) likes it when it's ready. 😃Happy to be back on your channel learning again!! 🤙
What a great video. When you said you could not believe that it had happened, I felt the same way you did when I had my fail. It’s hard when things don’t go to plan when you are doing it for someone else. These turned out beautifully. They look gorgeous. I love the look of hot process soap. I can’t believe how quickly they cooked. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing Elly!! Best wishes. Cassandra. 😊😊
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking aww thank you Elly! I feel the same. It’s the beauty in some ways of all these online methods of connecting. In some ways we get to know people we wouldn’t usually due to location. I have some people who I consider wonderful friends who I have not yet ever met. And the soaping community can be so lovely, it’s a great way to connect. I think George and I were friends for over a year before we got to meet when he came down to Melbourne. It’s an interesting new world. I hope you have a lovely weekend. And I’m so glad you saved your precious soap! 😊😊
Your soap ended up being beautiful!!!❤️👍 Thank you for the video! I also loved your idea of putting end pieces together. So smart! I will be doing that with my soaps now if you don’t mind.😊
I had this happen to 2 batches..was trying to make a rose soap..but the fragrance oil made it hard straight away..for 2 batches🤬 so i followed your other video and put both batches into crock pot with a wee bit of water and hot processed it for a few hours ..ph tested it at green and put into log mould. Took ages to dry/ harden...but holy moly the soap has turned out hard and lathers amazingly..smells great. So even thou it was a frustration it ended up being probably my favourite soap..and was one of your recipes..which i love.❤
Wow this is very helpful, I wish I would’ve seen this video this morning, I was making a soap and this exact thing happened, something told me, hit it up again (it was in the crockpot) and I didn’t follow my instinct, but at least k found you now, thank you!
Same happened to me twice. First with spice mix, and now with pumpkin spice soap. One of the batches was fine, and the second one...this 🤭 also had the lovely Petit gâteau effect happen in the middle. I'm going to cut it up. Now I will have a pumpkin spice late soap 🤷
And methinks less mess and resultant soap bars easier to use than balls. I remember when they were ‘a thing’ ; ) ; ). P.S . Remember your friends don’t know how you intended your soap to be; ) ; ) Apart from them actually being stand-out!
Thank you Elly! I read that hp soap is safe to use straight from the mold unlike cp soap. So it can be used straight away, but will need 4 weeks to harden?
Thanks Elly, I just made a charcoal soap and put Blue Lotus and Pink lotus essential oil. I think it has caused the problem. I have let it set completely, but I am guessing if I grate it down I can process it as you have done here. Any hints on how to use these essential oils so they behave? The perfume is fantastic, I used the cedar wood as the base oil
Ha ha! Funnily enough - it looks like my Banana soap! I made two batches - 1 with dried peel, ground up as much as I could, & 1 with the dried peel, & mashed banana. Both are great - banana has such great skin loving properties. Especially the skin. It was very labour intensive, as you might imagine, but I give it to my friends for a facial soap. Albeit I use most of my soaps on my fizzog 😊😊
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thank you for your kind response. I've learned a lot from your videos. I'm curious, is there a specific reason why you do not do milk soaps?
I love watching your soap making videos, along with these that provide extra learning. Would you have any ideas to rebatch some soap I made some time ago (just was unsure how to fix it and didn’t want to just toss it) that I added too much ylang ylang eo to?
Thank you for thos video! Question: What if I use ounces and need to add extra water so the soap don't dry out? How much water would I know to add like you did?
Hi elly, new soaper here 😊. I want to ask is there any difference between using infused oil and fresh ingredients juice/tea as lye water solution replacement?
Hy can we make soap canola oil and coconut oil? Canola oil high in linolenic and linolic acid thats cause DOS what is the percentage of those two oils ?
Good morning, I love your videos. I would like to know if you make soap with recycled oil for cleaning? And if you can share the link with me, thank you very much.
Hi Elly….just a question. i tried making aloe and cucumber soap with olive, palm, coconut oil along with kokum butter. I used cucumber and aloe puree with cucumber essential oil. But the recipe got seized. What do you think happened? It really didnt turn good as i thought. Please save me😟Will this method help me to get something good?
It was probably the cucumber fragrance oil. FO's are notorious for seizing soap! May have been high saturated fats too, depending on how hot your ingredients were.
Soap is soap, it's never going to be really moisturising. But this would be my pick for you (it's the most gentle and thick LS I know of) th-cam.com/video/Q-Ul8NNQZqg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Elly! 👌 Could you do that with already -long- set soap too? Cut it up, melt and re-pour? My last batch from some months ago acted weird, it turned somewhat gelly from inside out and now it seems to sweat some fat…? 🤪 I use it without any problem, but it’s less attractive to sell. Or should I just wipe off the fat? Besides that sweating, it’s firm.
You sure can! I made another video about general rebatching here th-cam.com/video/STQ-C4L363o/w-d-xo.html but it's basically the same process. Not sure what happened with your soap. Have you tested the pH? Sounds like something amiss with the recipe there.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thank you so much, I’ll watch that! Much appreciated! 👌 I don’t really think I’ll do that with this particular batch, since it’s not BAD-bad, but definitely good to know! I’ve just received pH strips and a pH device, for my fermentations… 😂 A new hobby I started. But I have no clue what to look for in soap pH… I’ve been making soap for some years now, but obviously I’m still clueless… 😅 I use a soap calculator app on my iPad and use whatever oils I have at hand with the most part often being herbal infused olive oil, before they go rancid. 🤷♀️

IM looking for a thick moisturizing shower liquid soap. Do you have any suggestions?
Soap is soap, it's never going to be really moisturising. But this would be my pick for you (it's the most gentle and thick LS I know of) th-cam.com/video/Q-Ul8NNQZqg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Elly! 👌
Could you do that with already -long- set soap too? Cut it up, melt and re-pour?
My last batch from some months ago acted weird, it turned somewhat gelly from inside out and now it seems to sweat some fat…? 🤪
I use it without any problem, but it’s less attractive to sell. Or should I just wipe off the fat? Besides that sweating, it’s firm.
You sure can! I made another video about general rebatching here th-cam.com/video/STQ-C4L363o/w-d-xo.html but it's basically the same process. Not sure what happened with your soap. Have you tested the pH? Sounds like something amiss with the recipe there.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thank you so much, I’ll watch that! Much appreciated! 👌
I don’t really think I’ll do that with this particular batch, since it’s not BAD-bad, but definitely good to know!
I’ve just received pH strips and a pH device, for my fermentations… 😂 A new hobby I started. But I have no clue what to look for in soap pH… I’ve been making soap for some years now, but obviously I’m still clueless… 😅
I use a soap calculator app on my iPad and use whatever oils I have at hand with the most part often being herbal infused olive oil, before they go rancid. 🤷♀️
I am a fermenter too, so I get that! Great you're into that also. pH is really important for soap making. These two vids will help:

Thank you so much, I will watch these! When I find time, after tomorrow probably, maybe tonight. I really appreciate your responses and help a lot, thank you! 🫶
forbidden peanut butter😂
😆
This just happened to me
This is why I am scared to experiment with Neem oil.
Just buy from a reputable supplier!!
Bilgilendirme Thanks güzel bilgiler veriyorsunuz efendim TH-cam kanalımdan selamlar 💯🙋 10:16
It often happens because of the fragrance oil... This is very disapointed!
That Neem, methinks
Yeah I'm sure. The other Neem soap was so nice and no issues at all!
FOrget about sizing ... did you give a look to the color??? 🤣
It's neem soap, it was always going to be khaki brown 😆
It happened to Mee too the batter seized immediately and I too hotprocessed my Lavender butter bar whenever I work with cocobutter I feel like this. Thank you for sharing it was really helpful madam 💖🥰🫂
You're welcome.
