Ohhh by goodness, a video that actually has a step by step detailed recipe, and that MAKES the soap in real time! Thank you so much! I've had a ridiculous fear of using lye to make soap, but yet I used it for a clogged drain 🤷 Anyway, thanks again. This is one of the best detailed videos I've seen ❤️
That is so funny! Our mind can play tricks on us sometimes. 🤣 I am so glad to hear you feel confident in it now!! Thank you for your kind words. 🥰 Let me know how your soap making goes!!
Ooh that's a great idea!! Do you notice a difference with the texture or smell? I've also been adding goats milk and it is 💯! Thank you for your comment ☺️
@@calmactivemom no... Thanks for your recipe. If you render your lard in a low temperature, it comes out with less porky smell. Feels fantastic. Add your preference oils and essential oils for smell. Great and nutricious moisturizer
What a wonder, step by step tutorial. I love making soap and I will definitely be making this. I rendered my first tallow last week, but it was from trimmings and not suet, so It is a much softer tallow. Do you think it would work? I plan on rendering some suet tallow soon. I am loving a whipped body butter I just made and my skin LOVES it, even my face. Thank you for sharing❤️
Hello! I think it should be fine as it will still saponify with the lye! You might get a slightly softer bar that wont last as long in the shower. If you are worried, a half or quarter batch to start may be good as well so you dont waste your precious hard work!! My friend will actually take her soap bar and quarter it to help it last longer so that is also maybe an option so it doesn't all melt away in the shower 😀 I love love love my tallow whip/balm as well! Best moisturizer ever! Thank you so much for your comment! 🥰
Made this recipe today for the first time with my kid. We doubled recipe to fit 2 loaf molds we have but need to increase recipe 20% to fill both next round. thx :)
That is very interesting! I'm so glad it worked out for you! That is so special to do it with your kiddo. 🥰 They will have such fond memories. Thank you so much for watching!!
@@calmactivemom Exactly, lifelong memories. My kid loved it. Now she wants to do essential oils and botanical decorations that work for her as she has very sensitive skin. P.S. To help anyone with the same mold size I thought I post the size of our loaf molds 11.25" Long x 3.25 Wide x 3.7" Tall. We 2x your recipe and it filled 1 and 1/2 mold. So we are increasing recipe 20-25%. thx again.
That is so cool!! What scent did you make? I also have a kiddo with sensitive skin and getting them involved in their health can make such an impact. If you're looking for a follow up to the soap, I'd highly recommend making a tallow balm or whip. It is the best thing we have ever done to help my own kiddos skin. It never burns!! Thank you for the dimensions and amounts! I'm sure that will help alot of people. 🥰
Hello! Thank you 😊 I have heard that palm oil is similar in structure but I haven't personally tried it. You could use something like soapcalc to figure out some ratios, playing around with the recipe. :) I will play around with it some more and come out with a non tallow soap in the future as well ☺️ (I have a liquid soap recipe coming out in the next few weeks as well.) Thanks again for watching!!
Where do you get your tallow from or where do you recommend gettythe tallow from? Meaning company, farmers etc... I render my own duck fat but seen tallow here in the country 😊 for sell. I know you said get the tallow from around the kidney. Again , thanks for sharing this your knowledge.
Thank you for commenting!! I get it from 2 places (it's always good to have variety lol) but we purchased half a cow and I specifically asked for the suet then. I also purchased from a local butcher. I had to call around to multiple butchers near my town as not everyone sells it! 🙃 That is amazing that you're rendering your own duck fat! What do you use it for?
Google translate did a terrible job of translating this, but as far as I can tell, you are requesting the amounts in grams? Here is a link to the recipe where I do have grams written. :) calmactivemom.com/easy-tallow-soap-that-works-for-everything/ Thank you for watching!!
Hello! Thank you for your comment :) They are currently on sale for 10 dollars. (Canadian) calmactivemom.com/product/tallow-soap-body-bar/ Thank you for watching!

Tell viewers to keep a bottle of vinegar close so if any gets on your skin you can pour vinegar where skin was exposed to neutralize the lye
Thank you for your comment! I will add a link to a lye safety article in the description but as per the MSDS(linked below), rinsing with cold water is the best option if you come into contact with lye. Thank you so much for your concern and comment. What to do when lye gets on your skin is a very smart thing to know ahead. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=www.tatachemicals.com/upload/images/sodium-hydroxide-tcl-sds-ghs-2021.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiM8cWUlYyKAxUcJzQIHS4aIbQQFnoECAoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3p2_DNRph11aoKGsGbCoa3
Doesn't using this as a shampoo kill your hair? The natural ph of our shin and hair is 5.5-6. The ph of lye soap is around 10. The superfat helps but it doesn't solve the issue. You should try making a shampoo bar. It's much better for your hair. Just food for thought
Hello! Thank you for the comment! So far I have had zero issues using this as a shampoo bar. I will sometimes finish with a apple cider vinegar rinse but I have been looking into making a shampoo bar! Have you made them before? Thank you for your comment. 😊
@calmactivemom i have made them. I learned from a TH-camr. I think it's honeybee. I can't remember now. They are so so so easy to make. I'm actually working on a really crazy formula I came up with that is totally different than anything out there. It is not a soap bar or a shampoo bar but something like a hybrid. The process is really cool. I will be doing an experiment later this week. Wish me luck🫰🫰🫰
Just FYI, there is no such thing as vanilla essential oils. I mean, there are a couple of companies out there that sell the real vanilla EO but they are $235 per ounce, so you just used fragrance oil. Secondly, every EO has a specific usage rate % that is safe for skin, so using them in skin products should be measured in % of the whole product and not in tablespoons. Telling people to use 2 tablespoons of essential oils without the rest of the safety information on them is not wise in my opinion
Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate your concern 🙂 As I mentioned in the video, it is never advisable to blindly follow any recipe online and I did include a soap calculator. Thank you for watching!

Instead of tallow I used lard for this recipe. Works wonderful 👍👍👍👍

Nope,it gave so much anxiety, dangerous things like that I prefer to stay away from.

@@calmactivemom I use it for cooking and it makes the food taste better.
@@kmahdi4179 Now I have to try this! Thanks for the tip :)
Quantas gramas de tallow? Não consegui ver, mesmo revendo o vídeo.
