Hello. Thanks for defining what Saponification was. Interestingly, my tribe is named Saponi. I just started making soap and just now getting into making liquid soap. I suck at chemistry, but this video is helpful. I prefer melt and pure.
I hope you may answer my question well because I think that you are a good thinker and philosopher as well as good speaker at UK. So I wanna to give a peace of advice to my brothers,who live in UK as well as Pakistani residents .
Hey thanks for the explanation of saponification method of soap as well as oil and lubricants .In addition to this we see that these lubricants and oils are the main components for the manufacturing of soap 🧼
Good information, very well explained. Thank you for your time and effort. By the way I prefer to buy soap instead of making. I prefer Cold Process which I tried a few times.
I’ve made a ton of cold process soaps. However I recently heard of a soap company in the Middle East making soap with only 3 ingredients: oil, baking soda and water. I’ve never done this but it sounds awesome. Do you know anything about this. There’s only limited info on you tube.
Apparently the "baking soda" is a poor translation for "caustic soda", which is the name used for sodium hydroxide in India. Ref "Uncle Jon Soap" on TH-cam. (Sorry for sharing another person's link, but it seems important to dispel the baking soda myth.)
Hi Sue, really loved your detailed video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are intelligent with beaming smile. It would be helpful if you share excel you are referring to.
Hi, good and very informative video. Is it the same sodium hydroxide lye which is used in melt and pour? Can you please tell me what is SLS flakes, is it safe to use because of Sulphate?
Hey, thanks for the explenation! I have 1 question tho, why does soap can`t be made without lye? is it because it won`t solidify? or would it turn bad for your skin? or maybe because the meaning of soap just refers to something made with lye?
For Instance, making soap at home is way by which a poor person become a powerful man by sailing soap. Moreover he can do businesses at home by sailing soap at flea market
Came across your video. Really amazing and informative. I was just wondering what is super fat. Thanks so much. I have been trying Herbal soap making for 1 month using the melt and pour method but I want to do it from scratch because you never know what is added in melt and pour soaps. Would you please let me know what is the minimum quantity of lye and water I should use for 60% Coconut Oil, 30% Olive Oil, 8% Almond Oil, and 2% Castor Oil? Love and Best wishes from India.
Thank you 😃 To calculate the amount of lye and water you should use a lye calculator, like for example soapcalc.net. I made a video about how to use this calculator but I think you already have seen it, hope it was helpful 😄 There is no general amount of lye or water you can use. You always have to calculate it for the oils you want to use. For the water you can go with a 2:1 ratio.
@@SueandSoap this is a good info.. Cos. I have been. Using 4:1 ratio. The water,, being 4. And been struggling with soft super, super extra fat soap, very soft. But lathers and does. Soap work. Very much
Actually there are several ways to make soap that don’t use lye in the process and instead use soap nuts, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and also sodium bicarbonate. TH-cam isn’t always right lol.
It is possible to get soap with sodium carbonate, but it's more a historical thing, when people made soap from wood ash. The sodium carbonate reacts to sodium hydroxide and the sodium hydroxide turns the fats into soap.
Yes, you are right. You could use other metal hydroxides. The word "lye" just usually refers to Sodium Hydroxide. It is ideal for soap making as it gives you the best results for making hard soap bars. Potassium Hydroxide gives you the best results for liquid soaps. If you ever want to try something different let me know, I'm curious how different metal hydroxides would work for soap making 😃
Oh that's interesting 😃 I read about baking soda that it doesn't work very well, but ash water much better. How do you make the ash lye? Do you use it liquid or do you dry it? I saw videos about both methods, but anyway it seems to be very effortful.
Our ancestors made soap from woodash, which contains potassium. There are a lot of interesting videos here on TH-cam. Baking soda alone doesn't make soap. You need to process it, but even then you only get a very low concentration of sodium Hydroxide out of it and soap making with that low concentration is not really efficient. Also in Palestine they use lye to make soap, not baking soda.
@@Bambotb Sure you can use woodash to make soap! It takes a few days, but it's absolutely possible. That's how our ancestors made soap. When you add water to woodash you will get Potassium Hydroxide. What we call lye is a water solution of either Potassium Hydroxide or Sodium Hydroxide. You will need at least one of those to make soap.
Excellent Information shared in an excellent way-- This basis information & clarity of knowledge you have given is what many people donot know who are making soaps -- Like where is Sodium Hydroxide or where Potassium Hydroxide is used. Great basic fundamentals about soap making -- your video needs much more likes.
miss,your program is very beautiful..i am 68 years old in sri lanka.i am feeling diabetic.please tell me this soap good or bad face and body washing.. 280g coconut oil,120g seteric acid,68.4g LYE,68.4g distiil water,68.4g vegetable glycerin usp,360g propylene glYCOL,280g alcohol 95%,400g sorbitol solution 70%,spray with rubbing alcohol..
@@SueandSoap that's just misinformation being spread because a channel posted a video about Palestinians making soap and they translated it wrong by saying they use baking soda instead of caustic soda, and because some people are too lazy to do actual research lol
Thank you for your comment. In this video I'm talking about hot/cold process soap making as well as melt and pour. So I'm not quite sure what you want to tell me with your comment. Do you have a question about cold process soap making?
It is a pleasure to listen to somebody who knows entire chemical proces, and who sounds so sweet, keep on.
Hello. Thanks for defining what Saponification was. Interestingly, my tribe is named Saponi. I just started making soap and just now getting into making liquid soap. I suck at chemistry, but this video is helpful. I prefer melt and pure.
I don’t like using lye. I’ve been searching for a pre made soap base that already has it in it and now I know thank you.
A lot of people don't like using lye. I wish you happy soaping with melt and pour! 😃
I love your Scientific approach to these videos. I’ve been looking for something like this to further my education

Thanks, that's so nice of you! 😊 For me soap making is a very fullfilling hobby and the soap is so much better than everything I bought.
Super information.. Thank you so much
Beautiful nd intelligent explanation thank you for sharing 🙏

How come in Israel they make soap with baking soda?
Really, israel make with backing soda?
Because they boile it with oil and water for a long time
Hi Sue, really loved your detailed video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are intelligent with beaming smile. It would be helpful if you share excel you are referring to.
I'm not reffering to an excel sheet. If you want to calculate your soap recipe you can use the calculator on soapcalc.net

Without lye you only have oil. You need a metal hydroxide for the saponification. Otherwise you won't get soap.
what about baking soda
m.th-cam.com/video/P_nqazIkOcw/w-d-xo.html guess nah
also whats the difference between baking soda or washing soda vs lye in cleaning?
@@petarniko6121 research calcium bicarbonate

Hello new to soap making and I have a question can I use distilled water and salt as an alternative for lye?
No, that won't work, you don't get soap with salt water and oil.
@@SueandSoap Thanks that made more sense then it sounded

Can we use sodium carbonate? i.e washing soda?
It is possible to get soap with sodium carbonate, but it's more a historical thing, when people made soap from wood ash. The sodium carbonate reacts to sodium hydroxide and the sodium hydroxide turns the fats into soap.
Yes, you definetly can! Its one of the oldest methods of making soap and is still used in one Palestine soap factory.
Best explanation ever (my first time give youtube a comment:))
Wow, thanks!
apparently there is other lye u can use but those two will be the best result.
Yes, you are right. You could use other metal hydroxides. The word "lye" just usually refers to Sodium Hydroxide.
