Hey Elly, My name is Jocelyn and I'm trying to get some insight on how I could better help with your business. And I was wondering if you could take a second to answer 2 quick questions: 1. How is your brand's online presence to your market? 2.Are you able to track results from your social media marketing? I know you'll find this a bit surprising but I really appreciate your time and want to say again that I love your products. Talk soon, Jocelyn Grefalde
You'r my inspiration.The reason i start making soaps because of your videos.Thank you so much.I became disable and lost my job .I thought my life is over until i start watching you making soaps .So when i started making soaps then slowly i found myself .Life is beautiful and i don't give up.
Oh Anne, thank you. That's so wonderful! I am so pleased I could be a part of your healing and recovery. Take heart, there's always something out there to give us hope. All the best x
I think we have a lot on common...8 back surgeries 21 pounds of hardware my entire spine and now I've been bedridden 4 , 6 months and I was just diagnosed with ostenonecrosis Which means bone decay.. Itsquitesadno cure and it dreads I'm having surgery on Jan 23rd. It's scary with Covid.. Yea but I've been following ELLY for years. Seem all her videos.. She cracks me up.. I feel bad cuz I'm terrible at tecky stuff and I'm on 797 a month and took me a year to get all the top ingredients, tools, YT lights racks mold ECT. Then all this happened.. I had a boutique as well I've trying to do a medical essential legal fee DONATION medical FUNDRAISER, but no luck.. I don't know probably representing it wrong, but oh well. I've even tried giving some really expensive items Antiques ECT. And soaps for half the price.. Well sorry,, no whining I just have all these cool new techniques and faster easier ways and how to DIY your own pull through's and my ball on techniques. Went to classes over 4,000 hours of LEARNING. Chemistr, dermatology and I have a BA in Art and I'd like to get my cloud storage edited and downloaded and I will make sure all that is shared just in case. But I love the hot process fluid process..
Hi Elly..you really inspired me.. from 0 knowledge in soap making, i keep learning from your video tutorial on how to use all natural ingredients. Thank you for your video posting and you are an amazing teacher to me.. ☺️
Maam i faced two two shock in my life. Once my elder son met an accident in philippines. He was pilot. And now i lost my husband. So i am totally alone. Looking to do something to run the house with respect. Relatives not respond. Now everyone showed their back. Now i have my responsibility to educate lone son. Complete his engineering. But looking helpless to even run the house. Now looking at ur receipes i feel i can do such type work to survive. Maam here no one knows the knowledge like yu. And i dont like chemicles. Hence i inspired to see yu working.
Hi, Eliy am glad I joined this community I have been trying to figure out what to do after retirement age I started making soap for my home use only but I thought of keeping myself busy and I started with materials within my reach but most of the time I make a mistakes And I want to go through a series of training to upgrade my standard. Am glad I came across your amazing youtube videos, thank you very much for being there for those who are beginners.
this is such a good recipe madeit so many times now ,i wanna thank you my family loves and also my daughter who is sensitive to anything this is the only soap she uses and dosent make her itchy 💕💕
Thank you so much i just made this soap earlier tonight from your recipe, it was my 1st time making soap, your videos are nice and easy to follow. Thanks so much!
Wow! Using completely cooked carrots in a soap-making recipe? I am going to try out not just with carrots but with other plants. Thank you so much, Elly. You are the best! :)
Just beautiful. Ive been making Cold Process Soap for 7 years and done lots of fancy designs and fragrances but I think that the rustic natural looking soaps are actually my favourite and venturing into Hot Process territory is quite exciting. Thankyou for your easy to follow videos!
Thank you Elly. You are doing great by giving easy lessons. It's almost two yrs since I hv being lost of my job in SL. I was hopeless till I watch your vedio. You gave me a hope to start as a beginner to make soap. For God sake, I wish you would be lighten my path to success.! Thank you so much Elly. Love U. God Bless uuu...!
I read a few other comments, responding to this video and others. I would concur. Your decision to share your past and current soap making journey with others is appreciated. This is awesome
Aww, thank you so much Bonnie, you're very kind. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia, not like in the US anyway. But I give thanks all the time for my blessings. And thanks to you for your warm words. I appreciate them very much x
Thank you so much for this video, it was so fun to watch. The soap came out beautifully. I'm new to soap making and am working on recipes formulation. Could you tell me how you calculate the amount of additives you add to your recipe? For example coffee grounds, turmeric, the carrots or other vegetables.
Hi Teresa, thank you. Powders, coffee, turmeric etc I don't calculate, they can just be added as you please. Liquid ingredients are most often calculated as a portion of the liquid amount for the soap recipe. As long as you have a minimum 1:1 water to lye ratio for the lye solution, you can add other liquids/purees on top of that in the recipe, which increases the total liquid amount. There's more detail of this recipe in the description box :)
Hi Elly! I was wondering about using carrot etc in soap but wasn’t very sure how to go about it so this is a great tutorial - thank you. The colour of the soap is really lovely. My son - Louis - is here with me at the moment and he asked me to say thank you for helping sort out the problem skin on his hands - it’s made such a difference 👍
Hello from Russia, dear Elly! ❤ Your skin looks amazing on video! .... I'm just wondering if this because of you wash your face with soaps you're making? That would be great if so. 🌷 And I've got to try it out then.
Thank you! I think it's more a result of my diet than my skin care routine. I eat a very clean, whole foods plant based diet - everyone I know who has that diet glows inside and out! :) Ps. I do use my soap to wash my face.
Hi Bonnie, I actually had this one on high too just for five minutes or so, then turned it down. I only use high right at the start to heat it up quicker. Lower temps are best all round for HP soap :)
Thanks! Glad you liked it. The cook was about 20 minutes or so - not long at all. You just need to bring it to trace, then cook until it gels, then you're done!
I tried it and it took a max of 15 min to fully gel. However i didn t use yogurt but only sprinkled some water on it. It was gelly and apple sauce like. The max temperature reached was 80⁰C. I tested ph and it was at 8 after 15 mn.
Just cut it after 6 hours and it is awesome...thank you Elly for reconciliating me with HP... i was totally demotivated. My next challenge, succeed in HP soaps with clays. I didn t add yogurt btw because i will have to make soy yogurt first. I don teant to use dairy products. Thank you again!!!!
Hi Elly.....I just wanted to say I'm so grateful for your videos and Thank you!. I'm in Blayney NSW (tiny country town) and I'm a huge crafter and maker. Like so many I lost my job during covid and stumbled onto youtube tutorials while looking for a new focus/project to keep myself sane. I've always been into homecrafting....basically making, baking, sewing, candles, oils, jamming etc. You name it. I've done it. I've steered clear of soaps because of the precise nature of making them and the scary sounding chemicals. I put it in the too hard basket. I found so many videos showing me the amazing options for making soap and decided to give it a go. YOUR videos are the thing that tipped me over. I've used your videos to teach myself the basics and it's you that has demystified the process for me. Without you I might not have jumped in. I have a notebook jam packed full of info thanks to you. I used your guides for the hard stuff and I'm so grateful to you. I calculated my batch size and it WORKS...lol. Everything from mould lining, Lye calculating, curing, PH testing...I have your recipes and tips written down and I refer to them non stop. Even after finding a new great job I'm still obsessed with soap making. I just wanted to say I really appreciate you sharing your videos. Everything you make and explain is fantastic, not just in soaps. When we go on our next coastal trip (whenever things settle) I'm going to make your soleseife soap, and I'm so excited to try it. Sorry to blather on but from one maker to another, thank you!
Oh Toni, thank you so much! You have really made my day, my week actually! I appreciate you taking the time to give me such lovely feedback, and it really encourages me to keep on going with my channel when I hear again and again how valued the videos are. I can just picture you in Blayney, though I've never been there. I want to send you a big hug from Brissie and wish you all the best for all of your ventures. It's been a tough year for sure, I'm pleased you've found a new job you like. Take care x
Hi! Been thinking about making soap for all purposes. Question, does the turmeric in the soap leave your clothes stained? Also, what about soap for hair?, can they be made more conditioning, cleansing, or moisturizing? can lye content also be modified depending on use? Sorry to bombard you, what sort of proportions would you advise? Cheers!!
You can use soapcalc online to get your proportions of different oils.. she has shared one video related to how to use it.. And amount of lye which goes into the batch
Hi there! Thank you for the great video! I really want to try adding yoghurt in my next soap. I was just wondering though, is it a must to weigh out the hard oils after they are melted? Or can you do it whilst they are solid? Also if you melt too much, is it ok to let it solidify again and remelt another time? Thank you!!! :)
Some people say that, but they really do benefit from a 6 week cure like any other soap. CP soap is also fully saponified within a couple of days but we still cure it for 6 weeks. It's not just about the saponification :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking so what is the benefit of hot process soaps then? I thought that the principal"s was to be able to use it right away.. I am into cold process for years but I wonder if I could not try the hot process method sometimes....
HP soaps do saponify faster, it's forced, but they still greatly benefit from the good cure time. I think that view of using them straight away is getting less popular! It's just a matter of process and which one you prefer :)
@@canadaverydry Elly is correct. While HP soaps are "safe to use" right away, this does not mean it's "cured". Many TH-camrs have confused newbies by saying HP soaps don't need to cure as long because it's fully saponified, but this is false. It is also due to this belief, is why many soapers feel that HP soaps are "not as good" as CP soaps, because they didn't fully cure it under the belief that it didn't need to cure. CP soaps are 100% fully saponified and "safe to use" after a max of 72 hours (3 days max). A 3 day difference in Saponification time is not gonna magically cure HP soap faster. Hot Process uses heat to accelerate the Saponification Process, but that is all it does. It still needs to cure just as long as CP soaps need to. The reason for this is due to water evaporation and crystallization. CP soaps can be made with extremely steep water discounts, which if you tried to make with HP will end up being extremely dry. HP soaps need a lot more water content, which can actually increase the curing time. As soaps evaporate, they begin to form a crystalline structure. The speed of this crystalline structure 100% entirely depends upon the recipe used to make it. Hard oils/fats/butters (saturated fats) crystallize very quickly (usually within the 4-6 week recommended time period), whereas soft/liquid oils (unsaturated fats) can take months to fully crystallize. Example: a high olive oil soap feeling "slimy" without a 6-12 month cure. This is due to the olive oil in the soap not having fully crystallized yet, and therefore doesn't feel as nice on the skin yet. It's due to the crystallization process, is why Hot Process doesn't really cure faster, despite what many try to claim. There are many benefits to HP, just as there are many benefits to CP. In the end, it depends on which process the soapmaker prefers. I apologize for such a long comment!
@@canadaverydry I've used my hp straight away but I don't sell it before a 4 wk cure and some actually longer. What I find is how long the bar lasts at 2wk cure, 4 wk cure and 6 wk. I have amazing bars of hp a yr old. They are great sellers and I think the customers like the nice hard bars

I love "soap - making"! The first time I did it, was with a normal metal pot on the stove, and bhoy, I enjoyed washing the dishes with it!!! It was soooo "squeakey clean", and I'm going to make a soap any sooner now, prior to your videos!!! You're so good at it, dear!!! And, I hope I can do it, again, too! Thanks!
Your instruction and videos are wonderful. I love your voice, it is so soothing and pleasant. I love this recipe and I will be making it tomorrow. I started soaping with cold process and I love the peace and tranquility it brings me; it lets my creativity come through and calms me so much. I am now interested in learning the hot process and will move more toward all-natural ingredients. Thank you for all you share with us
Oh wow! This is the first time where I've seen a hp soap that isn't so 'grainy' on the inside and I really like it! I just love a smooth texture. And it changed my stance on hp soap. Maybe this is a technique I might like after all. Thank you for creating this video 🥰
Thank you Kelly. With your soothing voice how beautifully you explained the process.. I am from Kerala, you mentioned in your video.😊All the best dear Kelly.
Hola Elly Since I discovered you, I left other channels, the reason, you put the formula and I am new to making soaps. Thank you, I am your new subscriber. Greetings.
Hi ms. Elly can you please write for me the ingredients. Am here in doha and i really wanted to learn your procedure. I plan to do it when my off day. Sorry i try to reply here. Because i tried to find where i can give you a message. Please write me down your recipes and i will try to find it where i can buy the ingredients. 🌹❣️❣️🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much 💕
Just when I was thinking " I wonder how she measures her liner to fit in that mold so well" you direct me to the answer. It's like you're watching with me and I'm asking out loud 😊
It was lovely. I would probably just stay with your recipes because you already do so well. I thought this was amazing! You make it seem way less daunting.
I was never a big fan of hp process soap, as I like a smooth bar, until now ... this is such a beautiful recipe ... I just made this recipe and I can't tell you how much I like it!! the soap is really smooth and the color is absolutely gorgeous!!! I will definitely use this recipe for my hp soaps. I actually feel like a prefer this to my other fancy cp soaps. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Alina! I'm so glad you liked it. I am not a fan of the really fancy soaps, I love the plain ones the best! They are elegant in their simplicity I think :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking You are so right ... simplicity is elegance!! I was so very surprised to see how much the yogurt has smoothed out the soap batter!!! Will definitely do this again and try a different puree ... I want a green soap :)!!
I just tried making a cp carrot and turmeric soap. It turned out nice but the colour is weird so lm very excited to try your hp recipe tomorrow! Love you r videos, thank you so much for sharing with us!
Hi Elly! Been making Hot Process soaps now for 4 years, and I can honestly say that I did not find a single inaccurate thing in your video! This is very rare as so many people on TH-cam like to make false claims about Hot Process. Everything you mentioned was 100% accurate! You did a great job! I also prefer to add my purees into the cooking phase, because just like you, I'd prefer the food purees go through the saponification reaction, rather than it being added in at the end of the cook. There are only a few things I will trust to add at the end of the cook, but food purees are not 1 of them for me (just my own personal preference, I know many others don't share this same belief). I also love how you mentioned that HP soaps still need to cure the same 4-6 weeks! The myth that HP soaps don't need to cure has been going around for far too long now.
Thank you so much Khione, that feedback means a lot to me! I am not very experienced with HP soap, but I do like to be very thorough and research my subjects well before I make videos for them. That's so good to hear, thank you again :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking You're welcome! I know you do CP more often, and you mentioned in the video how you don't do HP much, which is why I commented that I didn't find any inaccuracies in anything you said! I love how you explained everything, and the soap came out so beautiful and lovely!
Thank you Elly for this wonderful video. It is on my to-do list now and hope to make it this week, sometimes. I do make my soap mold lining following your video. Great tips and work.
Yes Elly you are inspiring and you are wonderful Trainer , I adore the way you talk and how you share your knowledge willingly. I learned a lot from your videos , keep going 💖and Thank you 😊
Bravo!! Excellent video!!! And the rain water!!!! Last year I cooked coconut soap and I used half water and half coconut milk and I had the coconut milk iced in ice cube form and used it with the water to bring sown the temperature of the lye solution.
Thank you, yes you do love your turmeric! I am making a new video today and adding some Radha's soap from Kerala in the mix. I can't get enough of my Indian soap!! :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking oh wow, can't wait, love watching ur soap making videos....it's so therapeutic. Just need to find out the time for making these soaps !! Love how u explain as well. Thank u for sharing your knowledge 😊
Fantastic, I love hot process soap and mostly always do that now much more satisfying than cold process now for me after 7 years soapmaking!! You are very calming to watch Elly xxx
Tnx Elly for another inspiring video. I LOVE watching all your videos. Easy to follow, love your voice, love your laugh, love your Positive & Natural nature. I have learned A LOT. cant wait to try making this soap. Elly Will this work for CP.
Elly, thank you. I cannot stress enough how important it was for me to see your video today.. I made soAp for my family 4 years ago and stopped. I thought I would sell but it wasn’t my destination. Soaping is very relaxing & I’m going to give it another go.. do you have a patreon ? I’ll gladly support your efforts. Your so humble and you make it about the fun and the end result of soaping God bless..
You got me glued to your video. You made it look so easy. I’m definitely going to try this out especially now that I’m learning formulations. I’m sure going to watch more of your videos. I’ve subscribed already and I hope to see more videos. Well done for it look so effortless 😀

HP is better than CP or not ?

Everything you make and explain is fantastic, not just in soaps. When we go on our next coastal trip (whenever things settle) I'm going to make your soleseife soap, and I'm so excited to try it. Sorry to blather on but from one maker to another, thank you!
Oh Toni, thank you so much! You have really made my day, my week actually! I appreciate you taking the time to give me such lovely feedback, and it really encourages me to keep on going with my channel when I hear again and again how valued the videos are. I can just picture you in Blayney, though I've never been there. I want to send you a big hug from Brissie and wish you all the best for all of your ventures. It's been a tough year for sure, I'm pleased you've found a new job you like. Take care x
@@EllysEverydaySoapMakingThanks Elly... You 've share your knowledge in your Forte... Congrats...
Hi! Been thinking about making soap for all purposes. Question, does the turmeric in the soap leave your clothes stained? Also, what about soap for hair?, can they be made more conditioning, cleansing, or moisturizing? can lye content also be modified depending on use? Sorry to bombard you, what sort of proportions would you advise? Cheers!!
You can use soapcalc online to get your proportions of different oils.. she has shared one video related to how to use it.. And amount of lye which goes into the batch
You are so brilliant at showing how to make soap I have become hooked
Hi there! Thank you for the great video! I really want to try adding yoghurt in my next soap. I was just wondering though, is it a must to weigh out the hard oils after they are melted? Or can you do it whilst they are solid? Also if you melt too much, is it ok to let it solidify again and remelt another time? Thank you!!! :)
Thanks Jennifer! No, you can weigh when they are solid if you like, and yes you can let them cool then remelt later :)
Thank you! I finally got a full demonstration of how to use the yogurt!
Glad it was helpful!
As long as I know hot process soaps can be used right away .....
Some people say that, but they really do benefit from a 6 week cure like any other soap. CP soap is also fully saponified within a couple of days but we still cure it for 6 weeks. It's not just about the saponification :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking so what is the benefit of hot process soaps then? I thought that the principal"s was to be able to use it right away.. I am into cold process for years but I wonder if I could not try the hot process method sometimes....
HP soaps do saponify faster, it's forced, but they still greatly benefit from the good cure time. I think that view of using them straight away is getting less popular! It's just a matter of process and which one you prefer :)
@@canadaverydry Elly is correct. While HP soaps are "safe to use" right away, this does not mean it's "cured". Many TH-camrs have confused newbies by saying HP soaps don't need to cure as long because it's fully saponified, but this is false. It is also due to this belief, is why many soapers feel that HP soaps are "not as good" as CP soaps, because they didn't fully cure it under the belief that it didn't need to cure. CP soaps are 100% fully saponified and "safe to use" after a max of 72 hours (3 days max). A 3 day difference in Saponification time is not gonna magically cure HP soap faster.
Hot Process uses heat to accelerate the Saponification Process, but that is all it does. It still needs to cure just as long as CP soaps need to. The reason for this is due to water evaporation and crystallization. CP soaps can be made with extremely steep water discounts, which if you tried to make with HP will end up being extremely dry. HP soaps need a lot more water content, which can actually increase the curing time.
As soaps evaporate, they begin to form a crystalline structure. The speed of this crystalline structure 100% entirely depends upon the recipe used to make it. Hard oils/fats/butters (saturated fats) crystallize very quickly (usually within the 4-6 week recommended time period), whereas soft/liquid oils (unsaturated fats) can take months to fully crystallize. Example: a high olive oil soap feeling "slimy" without a 6-12 month cure. This is due to the olive oil in the soap not having fully crystallized yet, and therefore doesn't feel as nice on the skin yet.
It's due to the crystallization process, is why Hot Process doesn't really cure faster, despite what many try to claim. There are many benefits to HP, just as there are many benefits to CP. In the end, it depends on which process the soapmaker prefers.
I apologize for such a long comment!
@@canadaverydry I've used my hp straight away but I don't sell it before a 4 wk cure and some actually longer. What I find is how long the bar lasts at 2wk cure, 4 wk cure and 6 wk. I have amazing bars of hp a yr old. They are great sellers and I think the customers like the nice hard bars
I love "soap - making"! The first time I did it, was with a normal metal pot on the stove, and bhoy, I enjoyed washing the dishes with it!!! It was soooo "squeakey clean", and I'm going to make a soap any sooner now, prior to your videos!!! You're so good at it, dear!!! And, I hope I can do it, again, too! Thanks!
This soap is lovely! I’m definitely going to try it out. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
That sounds nice! Have fun. :)
Your instruction and videos are wonderful. I love your voice, it is so soothing and pleasant. I love this recipe and I will be making it tomorrow. I started soaping with cold process and I love the peace and tranquility it brings me; it lets my creativity come through and calms me so much. I am now interested in learning the hot process and will move more toward all-natural ingredients. Thank you for all you share with us
Oh wow! This is the first time where I've seen a hp soap that isn't so 'grainy' on the inside and I really like it! I just love a smooth texture. And it changed my stance on hp soap. Maybe this is a technique I might like after all.
Thank you for creating this video 🥰
Thank you Alexandra, I feel the same!
Thank you so much. You are a great person. . I make a good experience in your Chanel. I love it. Thanks again stay blessed
I wondered why my soap was so dry! Wonderful video thanks!
Thank you Kelly. With your soothing voice how beautifully you explained the process.. I am from Kerala, you mentioned in your video.😊All the best dear Kelly.
My dear u are so inspiring and I have been wanting to make soap for a long time and u got me going....thank you, my love, ❤️....stay blessed...
ESPECTACULAR !!!!!!!!!!! ME HA ENCANTADOOOO
Hola Elly Since I discovered you, I left other channels, the reason, you put the formula and I am new to making soaps. Thank you, I am your new subscriber. Greetings.
Hi Martha, welcome, and thank you!
Thankyou so much for your work Elly......especially your description box!!♡♡♡♡♡
You are so welcome!
Gostei da panela elétrica,bem prática.✨
This is the first hot process soap video that doesn’t seems hard to do at all! I will definitely give it a try! Thank you for sharing
You're welcome! And thanks. You might enjoy my other 'beginner' one too (honey and oats - nice recipe) th-cam.com/video/4-2PM2NxlgM/w-d-xo.html
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking My favorite 🤩 I will definitely give this a try!
This is my favourite of all your soaps. I’m ready to make it again. Third time. ❤
Wonderful video. I learned so much tips from you thank you very much.
I made this soap and I love it, the tumeric helps to remove fungus and smell on my feet ☺️☺️😊... thank you💖
Wow !! Simple, straight forward , clear and easy to follow. I love how you gave the rationale behind all your actions, Elly!! Gonna try this method !
Thanks Shandy! You're most welcome :)
Hi ms. Elly can you please write for me the ingredients. Am here in doha and i really wanted to learn your procedure. I plan to do it when my off day. Sorry i try to reply here. Because i tried to find where i can give you a message. Please write me down your recipes and i will try to find it where i can buy the ingredients. 🌹❣️❣️🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much 💕
Just when I was thinking " I wonder how she measures her liner to fit in that mold so well" you direct me to the answer. It's like you're watching with me and I'm asking out loud 😊
Ah thanks Jennifer, I try to think of the things people might want to know.
This is: PERFECTNESS! in "soapmaking"! Thanks!
Thank you so much I live in New York and I am trying soap making.
Wonderful!
It was lovely. I would probably just stay with your recipes because you already do so well. I thought this was amazing! You make it seem way less daunting.
great tips. Haven't tried hot press fluid soap before, so will definitely try this. thank you.
Thank you Barbara, you're very welcome!
Hi Elly, i made this soap following your recipe. It turned out so amazing! Thank you so much!. Now im very inspired to do make more soaps.
Wonderful!
I was never a big fan of hp process soap, as I like a smooth bar, until now ... this is such a beautiful recipe ... I just made this recipe and I can't tell you how much I like it!! the soap is really smooth and the color is absolutely gorgeous!!! I will definitely use this recipe for my hp soaps. I actually feel like a prefer this to my other fancy cp soaps. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Alina! I'm so glad you liked it. I am not a fan of the really fancy soaps, I love the plain ones the best! They are elegant in their simplicity I think :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking You are so right ... simplicity is elegance!! I was so very surprised to see how much the yogurt has smoothed out the soap batter!!! Will definitely do this again and try a different puree ... I want a green soap :)!!
I just tried making a cp carrot and turmeric soap. It turned out nice but the colour is weird so lm very excited to try your hp recipe tomorrow! Love you r videos, thank you so much for sharing with us!
You're welcome Willow! Try adding less turmeric, it can make the soap go brown if you use too much.
You have been such a great teacher, still learning but thank you for helping 🙂
Idea of.ice - so cool !
Thank for this great video and all the information. I am going to try it.
loved it .. will be trying it sometime sooner than later
Hi Elly I enjoy watching your videos your calm application to soap making make you so easy to follow thanks.
Another lovely soap *clap*
This is a lovely video - I like your technique of producing a voiceover later. I also feel I might be brave enough to try HP again after this! 🙌👏👏
Thanks Victoria, that's nice. Go for it! I love HP, it's so fun to see all the changes.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful video, i will try to make it, and your videos are really amazing...
Hi Elly! Been making Hot Process soaps now for 4 years, and I can honestly say that I did not find a single inaccurate thing in your video! This is very rare as so many people on TH-cam like to make false claims about Hot Process. Everything you mentioned was 100% accurate! You did a great job!
I also prefer to add my purees into the cooking phase, because just like you, I'd prefer the food purees go through the saponification reaction, rather than it being added in at the end of the cook. There are only a few things I will trust to add at the end of the cook, but food purees are not 1 of them for me (just my own personal preference, I know many others don't share this same belief).
I also love how you mentioned that HP soaps still need to cure the same 4-6 weeks! The myth that HP soaps don't need to cure has been going around for far too long now.
Thank you so much Khione, that feedback means a lot to me! I am not very experienced with HP soap, but I do like to be very thorough and research my subjects well before I make videos for them. That's so good to hear, thank you again :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking You're welcome! I know you do CP more often, and you mentioned in the video how you don't do HP much, which is why I commented that I didn't find any inaccuracies in anything you said! I love how you explained everything, and the soap came out so beautiful and lovely!
Thank you Elly for this wonderful video. It is on my to-do list now and hope to make it this week, sometimes. I do make my soap mold lining following your video. Great tips and work.
Thanks so much, I appreciate your feedback.

Bravo!! Excellent video!!! And the rain water!!!! Last year I cooked coconut soap and I used half water and half coconut milk and I had the coconut milk iced in ice cube form and used it with the water to bring sown the temperature of the lye solution.
Excellent! Thank you :)

Awesome video Elly! First time I ever saw a hot process method from start to finish. Thank you!
Ah that's brilliant Larisa, thank you!
Elly, thank you. I cannot stress enough how important it was for me to see your video today.. I made soAp for my family 4 years ago and stopped. I thought I would sell but it wasn’t my destination. Soaping is very relaxing & I’m going to give it another go.. do you have a patreon ? I’ll gladly support your efforts. Your so humble and you make it about the fun and the end result of soaping God bless..
This is so beautiful. A must try.
