I watched a few videos on soap making and your video is the best and to the point. I used this recipe to make soaps last year. My family loved them, so I'm using this recipe again. Many thanks,
Hi Jeff - I did it and did NOT fail. Chemisty 101.... easy-peasy. I'm now waiting for the cure.... the house smells awesome. Thanks for the motivation and instruction.
Amazing my friend!! You explained beautiful and the result is too. The colour of unrefined olive oil soap is great. I want the real stuff. Brown or black doesn’t matter, you made the REAL stuff! Thanks for sharing!✌🏼
Hi Jeff - RocketymanRay here again. I've made a dozen batches of soap - you were my inspiration! The house always smells good now, I usualy have a batch curing. I give it away for gifts, and just to be nice and share. I'm not ready to start making it commerically yet, but I may need something to do after retiring after 40 years working in the aerospace industry for NASA at Kennedy Space Center. If you're ever in the area to watch a launch, let me know - I owe you a cold drink!!
Yours was the easiest ever! I have a learning disability and I’ve tried two batches so far and I can’t wait to try yours now..... thank you from all of us with disabilities!!! ;-)
If you add some titanium dioxide to the mix it will whiten the soap and then your colors will take nicely. You have probably already worked that out as the vid is a few years old but for beginner soap makers like me it's a handy tip. Cheers
Hi Jeff - great video, and I'm motivated to start.... the "refined" coconut oil, is it a local brick and mortar purchases ie. Lou Anne at Walmart? Thanks... And, I like you other videos. Thx
Yes the coconut oil and the olive oil I brought at Costco but you can find them at any grocery store. I’ve tried several different types of coconut oil and they all worked well. I don’t use ‘extra virgin” olive oil anymore because it turns the soap yellow. I found that the regular olive oil works better.
@@Viera95 Great! Thanks for the advice. One last - (OK, maybe two)... any recommendations on a favorite "manly" scent to add, and where do you purchase those scents. And, lastly, when you open your video, what city was that recorded??
@@rocketmanray Thanks glad I can help. I buy all my fragrance oils from a website called Brambleberry they have a huge selection of quality fragrances. they even have a masculine section. The one I get the most compliments on using is a fragrance called “Blue Man” i put a link to it for you. The only thing is it turns your soap brown but it smells so good it’s worth it haha. the second one people like a lot is called Fierce it’s a copy of the Abercrombie fragrance. that one won’t discolor your soap but in fortunately it’s sold out at the moment Lastly there’s a sent called midnight water that I like to use it’s just a nice fresh sent. One of my go tos for sure The opening of my video was filmed in Barcelona where I was vacationing at the time. At the time I was thinking of starting a travel channel or something haha.

@@Viera95 Thank you! I"ll go check it out. I was in Barcelona back in 1985 when I was a Army Officer., I made a trip from my base in Germany down to Barcelona for a little R&R. It was right before the Olympics, so it was a very busy place and a nice place for sure. Again, thanks for the advice and help.
So from making foam machines you went to making liquid soap to go with them, then figured you'd get into solid soapmaking as well? I know how getting into making stuff often leads to making other stuff.
I found out since filming this video that the “extra virgin” olive oil turns the soap yellow but if you use just plain olive oil it doesn’t effect the color at all. I’ve definitely been meaning to try titanium dioxide

I've gone through the making process exactly as you've shown it here and for some reason after 24 hours my soap is still very soft. Too soft to remove from the mold. What could be the problem?
Lakeside Productions humm a lot of things could have happened, it’s possible the lye wasn’t strong enough. I had a batch do that one time. It turned out I added 5% to much oil I left it in the mold for afew days until i could remove it. ended up tuning out alright just took longer to harden.
@@Viera95 The seal wasn't 100% secured on my lye when delivered. So maybe it absorbed moisture. I'll leave the soap sit in the mold for a couple days so and see if I can cut it after some time. Also maybe I need a electronic sales rather than an old school one Thanks
I had the same problems. By I’m wondering if it is my climate. It is summer. I’m going to leave it in my moulds another day. I saw another video and they recommended putting the moulds in the freezer for 20 mins. Then leave them to cure. Correct me if I’m wrong. Thank you.
This recipe generally takes longer to fully harden then others I make. I don’t think climate has too much to do with it but yeah freezing it probably would help you get it out of the mold if it hasn’t hardened enough. There is not to much rush to take it out of the mold so leaving it a few more days would probably work also.
As a soaper and business owner I would highly suggest that when you make a video making soap, please tell your viewers to wear gloves, longer sleeves, hair net if selling them. Otherwise the video was good. But seriously please wear gloves 🧤 thank you
Sunflower and Palm Oil have to get highly processed in order to reach their oil status Meaning that they’re extremely unhealthy, so try to switch those oils With Avocado Oil and/or Coconut Oil, or any sort of animal fat
I made this recipe and it's not getting hard, firm but not hard. So I ran it through the Lye calculator with 5% superfat and your water and lye is way off. you need more lye and less water in this recipe.
I used a lye calculator to get this recipe and it works well for me. I have water at 38%, I use that for all of my recipes. What percentage do you recommend?
@@Viera95 your lye is perfect yes sorry, I was looking at another recipe I had for different oils but it does say that the water should be 319.26gr for that amount of Lye. maybe that's why it's taking so long for it to harden.
Kristopher T, no worries. In my experience the recipes with a high percentage of olive oil take longer to hardened in the mold. There’s no rush though since it takes 4 weeks for cold process soap to be fully hardened and ready to use anyway so an extra day or 2 in the mold won’t hurt. Good luck with your soap project.

Thanks a lot for your video. I didn't know it is this simple as I used to hear one should have a hydrometer to make bar soaps!
If you add some titanium dioxide to the mix it will whiten the soap and then your colors will take nicely. You have probably already worked that out as the vid is a few years old but for beginner soap makers like me it's a handy tip. Cheers
Loved your video. Gloves, tho!!! Lol! Thanks for sharing your recipe! :)

Thanks for sharing 👍 i liked n subscribed 😀 😊
Peace what is the temp that your lye water should be and your oils you didn't state.
Dear Jeffy Viera, thanks a lot and I will give you my feedback soon.
Thanks !! I will make this
TITANIUM DIOXIDE can be used to give a whiter color to lighten up the color of the olive oil.
I found out since filming this video that the “extra virgin” olive oil turns the soap yellow but if you use just plain olive oil it doesn’t effect the color at all. I’ve definitely been meaning to try titanium dioxide
I'm addicted to making soap now. Would fifty showers a day using different soaps be excessive? lol
Thanks!
Sir, good morning, can explain set/ Unset ratio. Regards.Pankaj from India.
Nice Video!
This is an old video but what is the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils, can I replace one instead of the other, thank you
I use them interchangeably. To my knowledge there is no difference between them that affects the soap making process.
@@Viera95 thank you for your response, I will try your recipe, ❤
Aunk no se ingles, puedo decir k hay varios errores en tu video, nunca s pone la sosa sobre el agua, es al reves, si puedes traducir seria grato.gracias
Thank you
Great, Is this Bar Soap for Washing Clothes and Toilet as well .??
Can you please tell me when is the hydrometer used please?.
Hi Betty, no hydrometer is needed in this recipe.
hi! Can you tell me about the superfat o lye discount in this soap? Thanks!
Ele N it’s super fat 5%
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. Will you tell me please how many percent is super fat in your soap. Thank you in advance.
No problem, this recipe has 5% super fat. Thanks for watching.
what is the temperature of your oils and lye when you mix them??? Thaaankkkssss!!!
Can you use liquid coconut oil at room temperature instead ?
I do
Beautiful demonstrated by you Sir, can you share transparent Soap racipe.
Thank you.
How much fragrance oil do you add?
Hi Belinda, I use 2 ounces of fragrance oil for this recipe size.
Calculate Lye @142.93 how you calculate, is it 149+ gram?
Pankaj Chakravarty all measurements with “g” are in grams
@@Viera95 sir i am asking is it 142.93 or 149.
Sorry I didn’t understand. It’s 142.93 grams. the recipe has a 5% lye discount. That’s why it’s a little less then you expect.
What sf ,and water discount did you work?
5
Can I add castor at 5%

Same here, even after a week it's still very soft and sticky at the sides of the mold so I decided to rebatch the soap.
2 lb Soap?

Can we use palm or sunflower oil instead of olive oil
Yes. You should use a soap calculator to determine how much of each and the cleansing properties.
Those are bad for you if you cook with (sunflower oil) and bad for the environment (palm oil)
Sunflower and Palm Oil have to get highly processed in order to reach their oil status
Meaning that they’re extremely unhealthy, so try to switch those oils With Avocado Oil and/or Coconut Oil, or any sort of animal fat
Bruh I feel like there’s money to be made in homemade soaps

You forgot the gloves 😉

I used a lye calculator to get this recipe and it works well for me. I have water at 38%, I use that for all of my recipes.
What percentage do you recommend?
@@Viera95 your lye is perfect yes sorry, I was looking at another recipe I had for different oils but it does say that the water should be 319.26gr for that amount of Lye. maybe that's why it's taking so long for it to harden.
