☑️ Simple and Gentle Soap Project: bberry.studio/...
This recipe uses coconut, palm, and olive oils, which are commonly used because they complement each other well. Palm oil acts as a secondary lathering agent and hardens the soap, coconut oil cleanses and produces big bubbles, and olive oil moisturizes and gives the bars a silky feeling.
☑️ Coconut Oil: bberry.studio/...
The soap is unscented and uncolored to keep things easy. Once you have a few batches, you can start experimenting with additives. For the mold, you can use almost any box or container that you have on hand. You'll need to line it with freezer paper so the soap doesn't stick.
☑️ Simple and Gentle Soap recipe:
8 oz. Coconut Oil (24%)
15 oz. Olive Oil (44%)
11 oz. Palm Oil (32%)
4.8 oz. Lye
11.2 oz. Distilled Water
☑️ Key Terms:
• Saponification: The chemical reaction occurs when oil and lye molecules create new soap molecules.
• Trace: The point when oils and lye water emulsify and begin to thicken. Once the soap has reached a thin trace, it will continue to thicken as it sits.
• Emulsify: When the oils and lye solution mix and don't separate, emulsify is often used interchangeably with trace.
• Superfat: Any extra oil that's not turned into soap.
• Gel phase: "Gelling" or "gel phase" refers to when the soap gets warm and gelatinous-up to 180° F. The Gel phase results in brighter colors and a shinier, more translucent appearance.
• Soda ash: Unsaponified lye reacts with naturally occurring carbon dioxide in the air to create a white ashy film on the bars. This only affects the way the soap looks, not the quality.

Merci, Anne-Marie! May you have a beautiful day! Cheers from France ;)
Bramble Berry Can I use parchment paper
What about culligan water?
Bramble Berry I have a question when it comes to using water canola I use tea?
Nice video, where can I buy the ingredientes that you used ti make your soaps?
Please be warned about mixing lye in a glass container. Lye eats glass particles over time, making it prone for cracking. I (like many other soapers) had an incidence where my glass pyrex measuring cup (which I had used several times before) broke moments after pouring lye into the water. Thankfully I was mixing my lye in the sink, and was not harmed. But some others haven’t been as lucky. You need to mix the lye in stainless steel or hard plastic container.
Oh thats interesting, I had only mixed in a glass measuring cup. I guess a clear hard plastic container would be fine (and cheaper)
I found that out the hard way as well ☺️☺️
do u think its safe to use metal?
Metal is fine as long as it’s stainless steel. I personally prefer a strong clear plastic jug for my lye water.
@@JAN-pn8pd Stainless steel is the only metal that should be used to mix lye->water. Other metals corrode over time and aluminum creates a toxic gas.
I love the simplicity of this recipe. It really doesn't need 10 different fancy oils and butters and colors to make a great soap!
Do you by chance know if I can add a colorant (tumeric or food grade food coloring) to this recipe without having to change the oil or lye amounts? I don't know anyone who soaps and you look like you would know! haha
@@SuperShannonnn Your comment made my day, I look like I know something, awesome, thank you! 😁 first, you don't have to change the amount of oil or Lye when you want to add colorants. You can take the recipe as it is and just add color. If you don't want to use mica, natural clays are a great alternative. Food color doesn't work in cold process soap.
@@SueandSoap I was right, you do know!!!! Hahah thank you so much!!! I couldn't find that info anywhere. You are the best!
@@SuperShannonnn 😂 great I could help you with that!
Do you know how much the ratios are if using in a 42oz loaf?
This video gave me all the newbie feels. There is nothing quite like that very first batch of soap. Lots of great info for anyone starting out!
Missouri River Soap I’m making my first batch of cp tonight and I’m going back and watching all of the learning videos. I’ve studied and prepped for two months now. I’m really excited to get started and hope I remember everything. I love your videos btw😘
@@allynicolemiller3237 So exciting! Report back as to how it went! Thank you!
@Queen Mercy Oh that's a bummer! The best thing about batches that go awry is that you can learn so much from them. They are possibly more valuable than a forgettable successful batch. Just keep on keeping on!
@Queen Mercy I don't use one currently. I know there are some really great companies out there that will customize one for you. Check on Etsy, if I remember right, there were several there that do them.
I really want to start making my own soap. I am just so nervous about the lye. This is probably a dumb question, but at what point does it become safe? I am guessing when mixed with the oils? Is there a book or something I should get to explain this breakdown a little better?
Finally! You’re the only demonstrator that told me what “tracing” is. Your demo is terrific. I’m truly a beginner and can’t wait to get the items I need. Thanks!
Thank you for getting back to basics. This is something my husband and I have been doing more and more of lately. Getting back to basics and kind of starting over if you will. This is a great refresher and a great starter. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed the video!
Heads up: it actually only takes 10-20 minutes (30 minutes at the absolute max) to whisk a soap mixture to trace, which I don’t think is that bad. So don’t feel discouraged to not try soap making if you don’t have a stick blender, it’s totally possible with just a whisk!
can i have your number, i think you can help me to do my own soap
Yes whisking works, a stick blender saves time. It literally takes me blending a 3lb batch in 2-3 min.
I've been researching how to make bar soap. I want to give away as gifts at my event, and hands down, this video is the sweetest! Thank you for sharing the simplicity of this recipe. I cannot wait to try! ;)
Just ordered everything I needed to make my first batches of soap 🧼 so excited ! Thank you for this video :)
Update: I made the soap and the process was so easy !! :) next time I will add some scent because the smell of the olive oil and palm oil wasn’t very nice lol !
I wish I knew about this kit before! I bought everything and was so confused and my soap ended up being a failure 😣
😁
Can u pls guide from where we can get essential oils and scents
@manrajsinghchhabra1178 did anyone responded back to u if so can you send me the information
@@adamary8599 where do u get you kit from ?
Finally someone that is not selfish
Thanks for sharing
I think it would be cool if you did 'kit' videos. Where you open one of your kits and then go through the process. Not that the instruction cards provided aren't great because they are, but I know that some folks are still intimidated.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I will definitely buy a kit as first time beginner.

OMG I LOVE IT - then I can use DHL boxes and not to purchase expensive silicon boxes - awesome thanks a lot for your AWESOME LESSONS.. WHAT A GREAT HELP FOR ME.
You're such an amazing teacher. Thank you for making it so easy. It will be my VERY FIRST time, but I am looking forward to it. Thanks again
So glad I saw this, Anne-Marie! I had been hesitant about doing CP. But now with your teaching, I know I can do it. I've been doing just MP going on 2 years, I'm ready to graduate. Love your website and I have joined so ready to learn. THANK YOU!!
How is it going? I haven't even done m&p, I bought some, but actually I'd rather do cold to avoid some other ingredients... Good luck.
Freezer paper is so expensive and extremely hard to find here in Australia...that much would cost at least $5.00 where I last bought some , if not more....... I often use it more than once, I start with pale colours and as I use it again it will get to the darker colours...lol.....my record has been five batches of soap using one lot of freezer paper lining!
Try "parchment" paper, or better still, butcher's paper.
Buy their silicone mold its cheaper than using paper all the time
I’m in NZ and have never heard if freezer paper, is it the same as cooking paper?
@@yellowbanana8670 I think its parchment paper lol
@@yellowbanana8670 Pretty sure it's just parchment paper.
But yes! I sighed as this was probably one of the first soap making videos I ever saw lol I've been making soap a year now and I just realized by looking to her left I have her Bramble Berry Milk Soap book! Which I absolutely love and recommend so worth the money its taught me everything I know, the measurements inside of it have always been my go to and the knowledge of milks and oils inside it is priceless!
Something I've started doing is adding my oils in stages depending on what function the oil has in the soap: castor oil is always added first, cocoa or shea butter is always added last.
whats the reasoning for that? just curious :)
@@KussDamato The oils I add first saponify more so there will be less left in the superfat, while the oils I add last will saponify less. It will never be 100% either way, though.
Thank you for this similar version of making cold process soap.. I always wanted to make soap. So i started of with MP and now after 2 years of that , I’m ready to try it! I’ve been watching your videos for 2 years off and on. I love ❤️ all of them . I just ordered all my ingredients to make my first small batch of cold process soap , I can’t wait for my supplies to arrive and start to make some soaps!!! Thanks again for all that you share with everyone! 😊
Thank you Bramble berry. Im an Alternative Learning System Teacher from the Philippines. I learned a lot in your videos. 😊👍 And I share this learnings to my learners. Hopefully it will help them to make business. More power and Godbless your team.
Thank you for this terrific demo! I am very new to soap making and have only worked with melt and pour. I have feared trying CP for so long. This video is wonderful, and feel I can take the leap and give it a try now.
I was so worried about taking the next step and trying cold process soap making. I was sticking with melt and pour😕 but learned so much on how to use it from Brambleberry that I figured why not. This has been such a great learning experience. Anything that is posted I watch! I’m so thankful, this has turned a fun hobby into something I love and enjoy, and now others are enjoying my creations as well. Maybe one day I will continue to a startup. 🙏🏼🙂 your a wonderful teacher!
That's wonderful! We're so glad we could help!
I was looking for a simple recipe for a long time, I am so excited to have found this one...because I can't use soaps with deodorants in in all of my soaps have to be simple soap..thank you so much for your recipe..
Thanks for another amazing video. Just a suggestion, decrease the brightness of the video just a bit. I've decreased my device video brightness and it's still difficult to distinguish between the glaring white freezer paper and countertops and the soap. Cheers!
It would been helpful to show how to calculate the amount of batter you need to make and for what size of bars you will have once done. 🤷♀️ Thanks for sharing though, these videos are great for newbies, it just needed that step.
Lol you made the lining of the box very difficult 🤣 good to watch this for a change
Yes! I love getting back to the basics💜
Simplicity is the essence of beauty.
I love the longer videos.
Thanks for sharing this recipe 👍🏾 your videos are so edifying!
Wow ! You made cold process soap look easier and not too scary to work with. Thank you ! Maybe I will consider it in the future and I will get the lye flakes and all oil product's from Bramble Berry
Thank you so much for this video. I have been considering making soap for a while now. Everything I saw made the process so daunting. I love how simple and low stress you made the process. I feel confident that I can finally tackle this project! Thank you! 😊
Geez you're really good at explaining. This video was excellent 🙏😍
I learnt how to make soap from you. I want to learn more. Thank you for all the tutorial. God bless you.
Great video! You explained the process so clearly, thank you!
Just a suggestion... You could put a small holder on the side of the coconut oil bag or palm oil bag just like a water jug to help pour the oil from the bag better.
Thanks for this great video. Do I have to let the soap sit in the mold for 3-4 days, then let it cure for 2-3 weeks (like the written instructions say) or can I just cut it after 24 hours then use it?
I have the desire to make a living out of soaps, but as a beginner, l got scared of the many ingredients and terms l don't understand.
U have made it simple for me.
Will try it out and send U a mail.
Thanks again, am Mercy from Ghana, Africa west.
This is such a great video for newbie/baby soapers! Thank you Anne-Marie ♥
Wow i never thought of using a box for the mold! So inexpensive!!
Can you please do a beginners recipe without palm oil? Thank you!
Yes please!
@@RealDream112 60% olive, 30% coconut, 10% castor. This the first recipe I tried and it was easy enough and you can get those oils pretty easily. It does take a little longer to cure but after 6-8 weeks you have got a nice, lathering and gentle soap!
@@Clarimort Thank you so much!!!
U can use butters in the place of palm oil or lard or tallow
Can you use avocado oil?
Am innocent from Uganda,thank you so much for teaching us soap making,am soon starting up this business 👍
Thank you Anne Marie. You forgot to show the beginner how to calculate the volume of the box × .39 to get the amount of oils they need. What if a box was chosen that ws too small for the recipe. Love Brambleberry fragrance, testing and research!
How do you calculate it please!
Thank you for sharing this video and I am new at soap making cant wait to get started. Thanks from UK
Small Amazon boxes make perfect molds for my 2.5lb batches.
Made my first batch of cold press today. I’m using extra virgin olive oil only because my daughter has very dry skin and has allergies. Feel free to chuckle-i thought i could trace in about 15 minutes with a balloon whisk. After 20 minutes i tried a hand mixer. After another 15 minutes it was still liquid. So, i switched to my stand mixer. Twenty minutes later i switched to my Oster blender and finally i got trace. So i busted out and got a stick blender. Lessons learned. 🤣
Thank you so much. It looks very nice and fun. The video is useful and easy to understand.❤️
This is great! I tried my first batch. Went a little too complicated and the soap seized. So I'm going to attempt this one and start simple and easy to get the batter down. Thank you!!!
Love watching your videos that soap is beautiful.
Thank you so much for this basic recipe. I just made my first batch of soap. I am elated.
Is there a good alternative for palm oil? And would you use the same amount of it as compared to the palm oil?
Lard. Use one of the online soap calculators.
Olive oil and sweet almond oil are great for substituting palm oil!
Shea butter maybe
We have a great article on alternatives to palm oil here: www.brambleberry.com/articles/ingredient-information/art0028-palm-oil-alternatives-in-cold-process-soap.html
Shea butter cocoa butter kokum butter are all alternatives to palm oil any hard butter can work
Now this is a nice way of making soap... ... It is mentioned clearly how much of each ingredient u shud use
Hey! I have a question! In this recipie can I substitute the palm oil? If yes, what oil can I use and the amount.
Thanks for this video 💕
That's what i want to know too...
Yes u can substitute palm oil u can use hard butters like Shea butter cocoa butter or kokum butter
Thank you! I've watched a few videos and while they make it look "easy" you really made it easy to understand the whys of it all. Thank you for, from someone who is trying to learn before taking that Jump.
I’m going to try my hand at this soon
This is the best method I have found on line yet... thanks for simplify
Hai anne Maria I'm from Indonesia..I love your videos
Enjoyed your video. I am an aspiring creator of beauty products using essential oils and this gave me a very good idra of what it takes to pursue one aspect of this field. Thank you!
I'm just starting to collect the equipment for soap making and anxious to get started. Love that big measuring "cup" you have. Where did you get it? Your instructions are great! Thanks so much!
Finally a tutorial that uses standard measurements! Thanks
I made this soap last week going by the instruction that was given with the kit. It came out brittle when I tried to slice the soap into pieces. Is it easy to make the cold process or heat and pour?
Thank you for clarifying it is all measured in WEIGHT. All these videos and no one has bothered.
Greetings from Pretoria, South Africa. Love your videos and BRAMBLE BERRY.😊
Thank you for sharing. May we use goats milk instead of water for a creamy bar or will it be toooo creamy?
Yes
What I watched is just so amazing, it's so clear,precise and understandable!!.
Be blessed madam
Great video, which oil can be used as substitute for palm oil
if you google oils to sub for Palm lots of options come up on the internet, its a wealth of information
Hi Bramble Berry hope you well its been very helpful watching your videos i have learnt alot and started my small setup selling the best product and i have been received a good response by people,Thank you love from Pakistan
Palm oil shouldn’t be used as the destruction of forests and wildlife these companies that process palm oil are HORRIBLE.. it’s something that matters and shouldn’t be ignored
Thank you so much for this video! I’m excited to start my first batch 🤗
Yay! I really love this soap making, thank you! 😍
This soap is very nicely perfect for all types of skin but more on those have a sensitive skin
I’m new at soap making. I use lots of melt & pour soaps and I’ve been wondering why I need to do this from scratch when the melt & pour is so readily available & easy. I do mix different types of melt & pour together though. Is it because of different ingredients (oils) that can be used in this version? Help.
I think the benefit of cold process soap is the ability to tailor the ingredients in the bar (oils) and I imagine you can better control the level of superfatting. I haven't tried melt and pours but if it's working for you I don't see why you'd change.
Wow at least this method is somehow simple
Can I find these materials in Uganda
Thank you..That was fun to watch..and I definitely can't wait to try this recipe with my daughters..
Annemarie: dont just let the stick blender just go. Go in short bursts.
* lets stick blender go solid, no short bursts *
Lol 🤣🤣😂
I'm really enjoying your videos. You are thorough and I appreciate your safety precautions!
I've been using your basic 2lb cold recipe for awhile now and lots of times I have issues with the soap being too soft. I was thinking maybe I needed my lye water to be way cooler, so decided to watch this closely... LEARNED SOOO MUCH ( palm oil complete melt was a big one, sodium lactate and the techniques for good saponification ) ... thank you!!! Can anyone tell me if its a problem if your lye water cools TOO much?
You shouldn't have problems if your lye water is cool. In fact, we often freeze milk based lye mixture! Here's an article that talks about frozen milk in soap:
www.brambleberry.com/how-to/soap/art0073-how-to-add-lye-to-milk.html
Thanks for your great and simple tips! Can you just tell me how long should it be kept away before start to use it? 45 days? Or it is ready to used immediately after 24hr of it hardens.
Cold process is ready to use after about 4 weeks.
Really nice video for beginners! Thank you! Your knowledge is very much appreciated!
I make this recipe in my soap line for peope who love a gentle fragrance free soap. I add colloidal oatmeal and Kaolin Clay.
Fabricated Reality do you have any recommendations of percentages for those two additives? I have only made two batches of CP soap and have been wanting to use those two ingredients specifically. Unfortunately my research has turned up a wide range of usage rates and it gets confusing.
@@astrid6496 i use 1 teaspoon per pound of oils. So 3 teaspoons of colloidal oatmeal and 3 teaspoons of kaolin clay.
Wonderful video, and delightful teacher. Thank you for making it doable.
CAN YOU DO WHIPPED SOAP
Pretty pretty
I'm super impressed that her super fat speech went on for exactly how long it took to get the lye poured. If I tried that I would have stuttered, poured the wrong amount, lost my place and had to stop pouring or stop talking. I cannot multi task like she can lol.
Just found and subscribed to your channel. Excellent video. I’ll be ordering that book, too.
Thank you I love your soaps question how you make them lather ??? Because I’m starting to make soaps with no chimacals
The lye will make them lather. Lye disappears from the final product after the saponification time has passed. ( between 4 and 6 weeks). I hope this helps
You can add soap nut powder for lather. Multani mitti for bonding.
Wow. This is right on time!
I’m just wondering how do you add scents do you add before or after the lye
Fragrance goes in after you reach light trace... Around 13:40 in the video.
Thank you so much for your video I really appreciate this simple recipe I can't wait to try it
When I heard that intro music I thought it was gonna be one of those no talking videos. Could not have handled 18 minutes of that music!
Thank you so much showing me, because i don't have anything to do in this world get success but the wey Thank you so much be blessed my dear
Thk for the recipe, could you please next time, put the recipe in grams ?
I agree. Even in the US many experienced soapers use grams as it’s much more accurate. Only the US uses ounces..not that accurate tbh. And lye needs to be exact. Metrics are way more accurate in weighing ingredients.
Totally agree. Even converting the oz in grams would change the equation as I doubt it would be exact
Hi, I love your video you explain very easy, thanks a lot for sharing it !!!!!!
could palm butter be used instead of palm oil ?
We have not tested this recipe with palm butter, but you may find this article helpful!

@@bramble-berry Thank you
Thank you for sharing this absolutely informative and comprehensive video, I never made soap before and I really want to try it. Thank you.
She sounds like someone who makes soap by day and hit clubs at night and goes to Coachella every year.
The Tony Cam bro LMAOOOOOO
Hi, I want to make something cheap. Is palm cooking oil you find in supermarkets good to use in soap making?
She reminds me of Miranda Cosgrove
I really want to learn how to make my own soap thank you for your help !!!!
If you use distilled ice cubes it cuts the smell in half !
do you mean the smell of the final bar?
@@fernandazocatellipontarago3974 It cuts down on the strong lye fumes. I tried it with my last couple batches. It worked really well for me.
Hiya 😊
Can you use cling film wrap to line moulds or will it just all get stuck in the soap?
NO palmoil please!
Why not?
Very nicely ans simply explained, including small Tips-nd&Tricks. Thanks 🙏
