- Learn how to calculate the volume of your soap moulds, regardless of their size and shape! I also share my formula for calculating soap recipes to fit ANY mould. This is very easy to do, once you know how!
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.

Among millions of recipes on the tube ,your explanations are simply perfect!!
Thank you so much 🙂
I so agree!!! Thank you Elly!!
Yeah.👍👍
Thank you so much for this, its the best I've found as well.
❤❤ I'm just starting out this is perfect thank you so much!
I luv that you are focusing on the metric system and showing how each measure in the metric system is related to another measure. You measured the volume of the main mould in cm (822 cubic cm) then showed that each cubic cm relates directly to a measure of volume of water...each cubic cm of water = 1 milliliter of water! And then finally showing that each ml of water = 1 gram...all different units of measure each related to each other using water as the medium!
I have been watching a lot of videos about soap making. Yours are more helpful than others that I have seen. I like them also because they are simple and honest, and I decided to follow your advices and knowledge better than many others that I have watched. I wish I had that wonderful red sand from Australia but I am making soap and adding some sand I just got from the bank of the Arkansas river. Thanks a lot!
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback.
I totally agree! They are so helpful on the details that are often omitted. Thank you!
Exactly!
Yes exactly
We made some soap based on someone else's video, before we found your channel. My husband is the wannabe soup maker. He is recently retired and was looking for something to do when it's too hot to go outdoors. He has watched several of your videos and just did a batch of soap today. He used this video plus the Formulate and Calculate your own soap recipes to determine how much of each ingredient to use. This was his second batch of soap. Each mold was filled and we were short just a little. He also used a 40% LC as opposed to his first batch which he figures was around 31% Thank you for your soap making videos. They are the best we have seen so far. My husband appreciates you taking the time to explain the technical parts of soap making. We are looking forward to watching more as he is also wanting to make sourdough bread as well.
Fantastic Rosalie, that's wonderful! Congratulations to you and your husband, I'm very happy to be of help :)
Thank you. You're an excellent teacher and I actually understood it. You have the most informative videos I've found so far.
You are the best teacher for any beginner or advance soap makers. Students can even learn maths from you😂😂😂you’re just amazing. Thank you so much for everything. One question, what do you prefer to be the weight of each soap?and how to you make sure that’s the weight of each soap when you use a wooden bar and have to cut soaps?
Hi, and thank you! The weight of your soap is a personal preference. Some people like large bars, some smaller. I don't weigh my bars, I just cut them to the size that looks nice to me. If you want them to be more accurate you can use a multi-soap cutter :)
That was so helpful! Thank you! We Americans NEED the metric system
Haha, yes you do! ;)
Nice explanation Ma'am it was a perfect presentation ☺️
When I moved to Australia (from the USA) as a 35 yr old, using the metric system felt like a monumental task. TBH, I still have issues with maths in general but learning to use the metric system became easier with use.
I'll be honest, the hardest thing now is dealing with an american recipe for cooking food, because american tablespoons are 15 ml, but Australian tbsp are 20ml. Cup sizes are also different. To make things even more difficult, some cups & spoons are made for the american market and so have a different volume than the "standard australian" cup/spoon size. So.... I end up measuring by milliliters, or a tbsp = 3tsp, so I dish up the spices by teaspoon. I just have to make sure I keep my cup & spoon sets together instead of mixing and matching.
I rely on Google for a lot of translations. And while I'm working one can often hear me randomly call out, "Hey Google! Convert 350° F to C" or "He Google! How many tablespoons are in a cup?" Etc. It's great for working while my hands are occupied.
What a great discovery you are! I've been making soap for almost one year and you've solved most of my doubts with your wonderful videos. Thanks a lot from a Spanish follower, please do not stop! Your explanations are very clear and really useful.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! I have no plans of stopping, in fact I'm now aiming to upload videos on a weekly basis. Exciting times!
Very well explained thanks.
Thank you, you're welcome :)
You are a wonderful, smart woman with a good sense of humor sharing great and extremely important information. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOD BLESS YOU 💜
You are so welcome!
You suffer for your art, Elly 😊 I understood, although I'm neither a soap maker, nor especially good at maths! But, your explanation will help me with some art/paint calculations I find tricky, so thanks! It's just always lovely to see a "an Elly video" because you absolutely have a feel-good factor ⭐
Ah Tosca, your comments always make my heart sing!!
Thank you so much. Your feedback, and all the wonderful comments I receive from so many others, is what has MADE this channel! I love it so much, thanks to all of you 💚🧡💙
Elly,
Greetings! Thank very much for all you do. I am a new soapmaker and you have been very helpful to me with of your contents.
Thank you Deleira, you're welcome :)
Understood completly, thanks Elly.
Brilliant. Thank you Dawn :)
Im dyslexic and numbers aren't my thing.. thankyou soo much for helping me to understand more easily.. some soap making people are mean.. and say if you can't calculate your own soap then you are not a real soap maker.. I do love your recipes and enjoy the fact I can participate in a hobby with the wonderful directions of people like your self.
Once again thankyou.
I appreciate the simplicity of your video. Thank you!!
You're very welcome, thank you for your feedback!
I bought silicone soap moulds and ones for me to make shampoo bars. I knew somewhere along this learning journey someone as lovely as you would explain this. And here we are. You made perfect sense and easy to follow. Thank you so very much😊
That's lovely Claire, thank you :)
Great way to explain this issue, Elly, thankt you!
You're welcome, thanks for the feedback :)
I come back to formula all the time! Thanks again Elly!
Awesome! Me too!
Perfect explanation
Thank you so much Margaret.
Very easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much.
You are welcome!
Again another helpful video, Elly. It is not confusing at all. You explain it perfect. Thank you. Happy Easter 🙋
Thank you Stanislava! Happy Easter to you too :)
Thank you!!!!
I appreciate you and your skills so much!
Glad our algorithms crossed.
Thank you again, you wonderful human
🇬🇧 Aww I’m new to your channel and, not even a soap maker! And I LOVE your relaxed style and the way you impart the knowledge of the detail in soap making - now that’s what appeal’s to my nerdy side 🤓👍🏼
Haha that's great. My nerdy side comes out quite regularly on this channel :)
It's been a while since I made soap and your channel is always the one I come back to to refresh my memory
Thanks Jennifer, that's nice.
You’re videos are amazing and you’re such a good teacher. Very calming voice and very informative. So for your example of 70% oils the 30% would be lye solution? Would the calculator work out the NaOH and water needed? Thanks
Thank you! Yes, that's basically right, except many soap recipes have added ingredients and fragrance etc. The lye calculator will work it out for you. This video talks about that part in detail th-cam.com/video/AqKxin0q1bM/w-d-xo.html
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I'm still a little confused because if it's 70% oils and 30 % water. How does this translate into soap cal. Where do we type in the 30% water? Would that go under the water to oil percent plug in?
@@zaiflowers2878 Aiden, I am new, hope this helps, I'm answering because I see no response. When you plug in your numbers for grams, lye and super fat, all your oils/butters, at the bottom you will click on calculate recipe and then right under that you will click view and print recipe, you will see how much water. Hope this helped you.
@@zaiflowers2878 yes I'm confused too😕
Thank you for your explanation of measuring eo and containers 👍😉🍀
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful :)
This was sooo, sooo very helpful. You’re awesome for this!
Thank you Alicia :)
These calculations are so important.. I was confused but after watching this video no confusion any more. thank you so much.. No body explaining with so much detail
Thank you! I'm going full time with this channel in 2021 and have some more techy videos planned :)
Hi Elly, I just discovered your channel, and I have to say that I absolutely love it!
I found soothing to watch your videos, and you are such a great teacher. Compared to other youtubers that do the same, you are very methodical and tidy and I can´t stress enough how much I appreciate this.
Greetings fon Chile!
Katherina.
Thank you so much Katherina! I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
Hi Elly, I love your videos and your spirit. Very explicit and helpful. Thank you
The explanation is very much clear. The math side is not really complicated and makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
You are welcome!
I've been wondering about this. Thanks. 💜🌞🌵
You're welcome.
A very helpful formula to have in one’s repertoire indeed! And you are a ❣️trooper❣️to be filming your videos in summer! And very adorable too. Thanks so much.
Oh, thank you Bonnie! You're very kind :)
Wow, with your explanation I finally GET IT. Ive struggled with all of the other explanations but yours I get! Thank you so much. Take care.
Great to hear!
This is very helpful and clearly explained. The formulas posted over your video are a very helpful addition.
Thank you, I'm glad it's useful for you.
The way you explain everything is so simple n clear. Thank you so much. You are the best.
So nice of you Suma, thanks.
Superb Elly, you made it easy to understand one of the complicated part of calculating soap.
Amazingly clear even to me who has not yet made soap but looking for what to do about it. God bless you.
Best and most helpful of all soap making videos I have ever seen.
Greetings from India
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! This was a great explanation. I stopped making soap literally because i honestly couldn't figure it out. I always had way too much for my mould and would have to do random moulds on the side of the loaf, lol. Thank you! I plan to make the Neem soap. 😊
I found this video very helpful! Thank you so much
this is so helpful, you are the onlu one to explain in detail
Thank you, you're welcome :)
I did these exact steps today and it works! I know it simple math but it felt like magic! You just upped my soap skills. Thank you!!!
Wonderful! That's so good Kailey :)
Tnanks so much for this. I knew it all once but as I always used exactly the same size mould and therefore always the same amount of soap batter, AND it's a couple of years since I made any soap, it's a good reminder for the workshops I plan to run! Also, so pleased you're using metric measurements, all the US instructions use ounces etc.
Omg i have been looking for this explanation and of course it would come from you. You are the one that taught me to even make soap and not be overwhelmed.
Oh thank you!
Hello Elly love... of course we understood very well.. A great professor like you... Thank you so much for sharing. Much love from Brazil.
Thanks very much for this info. I’m still the the process of looking through lots of videos to make sure I don’t make any mistakes when buying anything needed. This video is very simple to understand and I can’t wait to get started.
Thanks for the great video. I appreciate how you explain aspects of soapmaking that others don't which soapmakers need to know about.
Thanks David, you're most welcome.
Thank you! Finally an answer to my inquiries! You are divine! Thank you Elly! 🥰
