IMPORTANT UPDATES
🎈 Please store your lye solution in a polypropylene plastic container instead of glass! Or don't store it at all and make it fresh :)
Also, please be aware that this recipe is almost a castile soap! It's not really an all-rounder recipe, just what I came up with at the time (I honestly had no idea it would be so popular! It was my first soap recipe shared on youtube and I thought only a few of my friends would see it 😬). Please check out my other videos for more balanced recipes. I have so many wonderful soap recipes on this channel! 🌸
New to soap making? This is important!
Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide (lyes) used in soap making, in granular or flake form or in solution with water/other liquids, as well as raw soap batter, are highly corrosive and require careful and attentive handling and the proper use of personal protective equipment.

I've just uploaded a video review of this soap - 2 years after making! 😀 You can find that HERE th-cam.com/video/YUJbKwNgwmA/w-d-xo.html It's pretty amazing!
And.... 🛑 SAFETY UPDATE! 🛑
▶ Please view my new Soap Making Safety Essentials video HERE th-cam.com/video/EZTsW9UvNmU/w-d-xo.html before you attempt to make soap for the first time.
▶ Since making this video it has come to my attention that strong alkalis (lye solutions) can etch and weaken glass containers (even heatproof glass like Pyrex) making them prone to breakage! I NOW RECOMMEND KEEPING ANY UNUSED LYE SOLUTION IN POLYPROPYLENE (No. 5) PLASTIC CONTAINERS with screw top lids - keep them in a safe and secure place.
Thank you for reading - stay safe when you make soap!! 🙏

Do you sell these?
caustic soda
At the very least, direct contact can create a burning sensation and swelling in the eyes and the skin. The consequences of ingesting it are far more serious. From chemical burns to gastrointestinal ulceration and even death, caustic soda's effects on health can be devastating
Can you reuse the base soap? Because I do workshops with Kids I don't want to expose them to the lye solution.
What kind of mold did you use?
I wish I can like this video a billion times, subscribe a trillion times. This lady here described soap making better than almost all the videos I've watched on this youtube. she helped me understand soap making totally. she broke it down so beautifully. I'm so glad i found her videos. She really didn't hold back. Thank you so much ma'am.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. You can support me and my channel further by sharing the word about my videos if you would like to :) Thanks again!
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I totally agree!!
th-cam.com/video/fbn972sipVod/w-d-xo.html
Lye can burn the skin and damage the eyes in the dry or wet form. It also releases fumes, when mixed with water, that can harm the lungs.

I was taught to remember “THE SNOW FALLS ON THE LAKE” which made it easier to remember to put the lye in the water and not the other way around.
That's great!
Great video! I noticed you didn’t speak to temperatures for the lye or the oils when you mix. Do you monitor the temps?
Really cute way to learn.
th-cam.com/video/fbn972sipVos/w-d-xo.html
Such a great way to remember not to make the mistake of accidentally putting the water into the lye!!!
starting my soap business and this video found its way to me. I am so grateful that you made it, thank you Ms Elly. we're all a couple a maidens making soap and singing merrily. i wish everyone reading this a happy soapmaking. lots of love you guys
omg the additional info & links. God bless you
That is lovely! thank you so much. :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking im doing the same but i want THC in my coconut oil lol ^_^
Elly I just found you and am thrilled. I am totally new to soap making. You are a wonderful teacher! Clear and calm while giving the essential information one needs to proceed.
Thank you for doing this for all the world to see.
Best to you and your family.
Here's to home made soap for a Happy New Year.
From Virginia, US.
I think I can listen to you the entire day! An amazing video, made me want to try it immediately
This was so satisfying to watch and very informative. I loved every detail of this video. Thank for sharing such great info and the simple tools needed to achieve such an amazing end result!
Thank you for being so thorough in your tutorial. I really appreciate that.
I really enjoy your soap videos. I look forward to watching more of them. You make each one easy to understand especially how to calculate your own recipe.
Glad I came across this channel, I am going to start my soap making journey and this gave me tons of tips and inspiration. Thank you🙂
This was a great video. Calming and relaxing! Thank you for taking us through!
Thank you, you're very welcome!
Thank you for your in-depth step by step video thank you for sharing the actual measurements !🥰
Thank you so much! Your very informative video makes the soap making process seem quite manageable. I can’t wait to give it a try.
Most easiest and best detailed soap making video I’ve watched. Brief and to the point, yet very well explained.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
I love love how you demonstrated and explained the process! Awesome and so helpful!! Thank you!!
Thank you, you're welcome :)
Thank you Elly, I watched your videos the last few weeks and tonight my husband and I finally took the step and made our first soap. Your a sweet gal.🥰 Cant wait to see how we did in the morning.
Great basics to start. Feel good about going ahead with my first trial batch. Thank you so much.
Absolutely the best tutorial!!. I have always wanted to make "real" soap, but was not feeling too confidant about it as there were so many things I could not wrap my head around reading books. I stuck to the safe melt & pour ones. This has definately given me the green light to now give it a go. Thanks very much!! 🙂
Elly, thank you for sharing your recipes with us. I made this one and the carrot puree and turmeric hot process soap this past weekend. My house smells so wonderful right now. I live in an apartment so I have to cure my soap inside on racks. I started out making melt and pour soap about 20 years ago, and other bath items. I was always afraid to try using lye. I really appreciate your videos because you made everything so simplified for me. I have made the pine tar soap as well. Everything came out perfect when I tried each recipe. I have also created a couple of my own recipes over the past couple of months. I hope you continue to make videos for us in the future. Thank you again.
Amazing! I am taking step by step measure in preparing this soap. I just stumbled across this video, and I am happy! STRAIGHT FORWARD TO THE POINT WITH DIRECTIONS! THANK A BUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching this for the first time in the middle of the night I’ll have to rewatch it to get clear on the measurements and need to figure out your measuring containers and also I guess if I go to a craft store I can find a mold/container like you used. Wonderful video I have been wanting to make soap for a long time and did not know where to begin. Thank you!
I made this yesterday! Thank you for this absolutely amazing video.❤️
You are so welcome!
I stumbled on this and loved it! I swear I could actually smell the lavender!! Will have to give it a try and hopefully add it to my reportoir. Thanks!

Considerations when using caustic soda

One of the best soap making video on TH-cam till date!
Loved that video! I am inspired 👍 thank you for making such a detailed , basic video
This is a great video; thank you so much! I'm trying to get started on my own, and seeing how things are supposed to look really smooths the process out.

Work has ended for me, but am still in school so I came here to watch another of your videos. Like someone said I wish I could thumbs up this video a million times. You are a great teacher Elly.
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. This was an enjoyable learning experience. I also love Aussie videos as the ingredients and conditions are more relevant. Marijke 😊
This is by far the easiest video in soap making I've come across as a beginner in soap making. Big thank you!

Thanks I am going to try it. But what was the measure for lye

I'm
@@ruqqaiyanaluwooza6474 133 grams. Lye is also known as Caustic soda or the chemical name is Sodium Hydroxide. It's great to ask questions but Google is also your friend. When in doubt Google it!
As with your bread tutorials, this is clear and you have a lovely way of making it non scary. I really appreciate your care re safety too. Thank you!
Thank you, that's such great feedback. Thanks for taking the time :)
th-cam.com/video/4jH9wEZybDcd/w-d-xo.html
I followed your video and love the final result. Soap is beautiful, smells wonderful (daughter wanted patchouli) and we can’t wait to use it.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart❤
Finally a video showing a conplete beginner the exact ingredients and size loaf mold so that there's no wastage.
Pretty good explanation, I would like to try, thank you 🌻
You're welcome, best of luck!
new subbie from sth Aus :) great to see another Aussie soaper, and one who has a brilliant presentation.
Thank you.
Thank you Kerry! Great to hear from you too :)
was thinking the same thing. Only difference is our Aussie girl is very generous and gives us the exact recipes.
@@storm3772 yes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ✌🏻❤
Why have I only now found you Elly❣️ it’s nice to have an Australian tutorial so we can find the same supplies here. Woo hoooo thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for all of the warnings!! This is my first video I’ve seen with warnings
Finally i found one who does not make soaps from soaps and call it as homemade like any other out there
Thank you, yes this is the real deal :)

Some folks just don't feel comfortable working with lye because it is so toxic if inhaled or can burn. Speaking of, I saw many posts saying to keep vinegar handy and apply within 30sec of a burn to neutralize.
Logistically it can be challenging due to fumes/smell (e.g. apartment s and condos, or if you have slot of pets who would be exposed.
Then, if you make large quantities for selling, I can see where folks would skip a few steps.
But, all that said, I completely appreciate the amount of effort and the skill this takes 💯%💕 And the finished product is SO beautiful. I could almost feel the smoothness and smell the lavender 😍😍
@@MsElizabethRichard hello Miss....I would love to chat with you through emails...I feel like you can help me with some relevant information....there is a product I would love to make
I agree! the melt and pour is just like buying a cake and squishing it in containers and saying you made that cake!
I love your soap videos. I just made this soap tonight. Can’t wait to unmoved it.
Fantastic! Thank you.
Thank you for your informative explanation, as a beginner this will give me a light on where to start and what to do next. 🙏
I am so happy I found your page ❤️. Other Soapers make it seem so difficult. Thank you again. I will follow your recipe to make soap for myself and family.
Wow, this is an excellent video! And I love the beautiful consistency of your soap, with no waste! I subscribed, thank you so much!!
Thank you for your feedback Cheryl, glad you liked it!
I love your video. Super informative, not boring or drawn out. To the point pretty much & just straight forward. 🖤 Saving for future reference. I'm SO ready to try my hand at soap making. 😍 So many variations you can do with scents and designs.
Thank you!
Just find your videos love it you inspire me to make my own soap.
I seriously love your tutorials. I rarely love video. I love your video. I am African. I can’t understand how I didn’t even think twice. You are blessed
Elly, I can’t say enough good things about your channel and the beautiful and clear way you teach soap making. I am a total newbie to this, although have wanted to try this forever, so I’m so glad I’ve found you! I am no longer afraid to try! I make my own deodorant, I have as many natural and chemical-free cleaners as I can in the house (ie high-quality microfibre), and now I’m so excited to expand my knowledge and skills with soap making! I have been gathering the supplies I need, your videos have been absolutely essential in this, and soon I will be making this soap as well as your shampoo bar recipe (ACV). Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times! You are just a joy to listen to and are such a kind and patient person; you make a wonderful teacher! Anyone who asks or is interested in learning this new skill, I will certainly direct them to your channel! All the best to you! 💕
Oh Heather, that's so wonderful! Thank you so much for your very kind words and feedback. When I read that I think - Mission accomplished!!! Good for you, have fun with it all :)
@Elly's Everyday Soap Making hi Elly I want to make soaps for sel and want to buy a large mixture for it what would you like yo suggest me on it?
This is such an awesome video, I like the way you explain each process and how you make all the 'faults' really add to the soap's uniqueness and so much more special. Thank you for giving me the confidence want to try this out, all the way from South Africa.

Very good video. Wish I had been able to watch this before I made my first batch!
Did you use caustic soda powder or flakes
Thank you, so clear and easy to follow instructions / directions
Hi Ma’am, I found your video as my daughter wanted to make soaps! Wow, thank you for this! Can’t wait to guide her in making her first soap. It’s gonna be my first time too ❤
Thank you, I have never seen a video which is extremely simple in terms of process articulation and step by step explaination, with so much of attention, patience to help a beginner. I honestly appreciate your efforts with great perfection you have done it. Elly, You are absolutely awesome and amazing!! Please keep making great videos, good luck !!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your feedback, that's really wonderful to hear. I will definitely be continuing with my channel - it's a wonderful project for me and I love every minute of it!

So helpful! Really reassuring and demystifies the process. I am putting together the supplies and realized I don't have a container to blend my soap batch in. Lol! I haven't made soap yet but, this video is so very helpful! Even cutting sideways if botanicals are sprinkled on top! Everything in this was so very helpful! Thankyou so much! 🧼🌸💜✨

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill, Ellie. I love to cook and bake, and this tickles that nerve!
Gonna go full DIY on soap making because it looks fun and rewarding, as well as fairy easy. I’d bet it’s also a healthier option to the synthetic soap products in the store.
All the best, thanks.

Hi Elly, I am making my way through your video library, but to be honest, some I watch several times over. I love that you don't fret about your soap not going through complete gel phase. I call myself the "Not Martha Stewart" of anything. I love randomness of "most" of my projects. Thank you for sharing the recipe and the process. Cheers and happy soaping 💕
Thanks so much Rosa, that means a lot!
Best soap recepie and turotial.After 2 years I'm making more to restock. Thank you ❤

Wonderful!
