The Logo Sound was custom made by sound engineer and original composer Vadym of Nuclearmetal-Thank you!
Vadym is one of the best modern composers in the world (in my opinion) and resides in Lviv, the cultural capital of Ukraine. Lviv was the center of the historical region of Galicia and is now the home of many world-class cultural institutions, including a philharmonic orchestra and the famous Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet. The city is known as a center of art, literature, music and theatre and is where festivals and concerts are being held every week.

Good Morning Grace. You are the mad scientist of soap!!! Love the soap paste. I knew you were up to something cause you had not published a video for a while. Will be interesting to see all the uses for soap paste that you come up with. Thank you for helping us all expand our soap art. Blessings.
LOL, thanks Vicki❣️
Thanks for sharing Grace. Amazing as always.
Thank you, Doris💝 You might also like the companion video-th-cam.com/video/ZeytJ5Duits/w-d-xo.html 🙂
I made the scrub Ms. Grace. Thank you so much for your help. 💖
Fantastic!! I'm glad that it worked out and hope you like them. I find that they act like a fine sandpaper to polish the skin and make it "glow". Thank you so much for letting me know.💝
Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledges with the rest of us..
Dear Mel, I am happy to💝
Thank you so much for the recipe and the tutorial. You made this easy to follow so much so that I even feel like I can make a successful strike at making a batch. You are simply the best! 😊
I am so happy to hear that, Maple❣️ Thank you for your great feedback💝
I'm hanging on the edge of my seat!! I can't wait to see what project you use this for. Great job as always thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you, Davida💝 The companion video that goes with this is here:th-cam.com/video/ZeytJ5Duits/w-d-xo.html
+From Grace to You thanks I'll head over and check it out. Are you on Instagram?
Hi-I have an account but I don't use it lol! Is there something you would like me to see?🙂
+From Grace to You I was just curious. One of the soap makers ask for people to list their soap-making Heroes of course you were in my top 10.
Aw!!! Thank you, Davida!!!
Amazing your video so easy and lovely thanks
Thank you, Sura💝
Thanks alot that u write ur recipe God bless u
You are very welcome. Thank you so much Ra Liu💝I🤗
wonderful, its amazing how quick that turned to basically solid Thank you again x
I know! It is very cool. Thanks for your comment, Half acre Haven💝🤗
Your very welcome. From Melissa
Lol hi Melissa- that means Honey Bee right?
@@FromGracetoYou I think its queen bee but honey will do lol
I know this because on of my very best friends growing up was named Melissa. She was a genius and athletic and we had great fun talking and playing together. She became one of the "Fearsome Four"-a name given to 4 of us girls by the elementary school P.E. teacher lol.😄
I love your creations!!! You inspire me. Question: Can I add my own touch to this and make whipped scrubs out of this.
Hi Ida!💝🤗I am so happy that you are inspired!! You can always add your own touch! I think it is great that you want to experiment and improve on the idea!
Muy buena información. Se ve muy cremoso.
¡Maravilloso! Gracias Caudia💝💝
This is great! Thank you for showing us how to do this Grace. Is your stick blender still working? Lol! About how long did you stick blend this before it solidified?
Thank you, Terri💝. It was about 11-15 minutes! The stick blender does get hot mixing this one, but it is still working! I've probably made at least 5 batches with the same stick blender which is still going strong. Some last better than others, I find...
Hi Grace . Thank you for the nice tutorial.
In case i want to put the soap into bottles and give them as gifts, should I use any preservative material? For how long it will be valid to use?
Hi Safa 💝💝 I think this article covers answers to your questions best: www.ultimateguidetosoap.com/post/do-i-need-to-use-a-preservative-in-liquid-soap-learn-about-microbes-water-availability-and-more
Omg Grace came over from Aussie Soap Supplies to watch this and just made it. It was so easy with your instructions. I’ve used a little of the paste on my hand immediately after cooking and it is not harsh totally soft. I’ve also watched your video to make this into a hand wash (best video I’ve seen, a great doco actually). Just a question, do I need to let this cure for any amount of time before I use the paste for hand wash?
Hi Shahn! 💝 I'm so glad that the soap making was easy for you! Near the end of the video, I show that the pH of the soap is around 10. As long as the pH of a soap is 10 or less, it is safe to use. That is true of all soaps including cold process. Curing of cold process soaps does result in a slight pH decline over time, making it even more mild, but I think the main reason people cure so long is to allow the extra water to evaporate, which ends up in a harder, longer lasting bar. So, no, you don't need to let this soap paste cure as long as you have cooked it long enough to reach a pH of 10 or less.
From Grace to You thanks a bunch for your reply. Yes I seen the PH 10 it was a great indicator for me to tell me paste was finished cooking. Last question if I may, I cooked around 9 hours ago and placed in the fridge in a pyrex container but it hasn’t hardened like your second video it has remained in the same golden translucent state of removing from the cooker but obviously no longer warm… is this ok?
Yes, it is ok🙂
From Grace to You thank you so much for your reply and this amazing soap recipe
What a beautiful video....... please can this soap be use as a bar soap after mixing and adding all ingredients needed. thanks
Hi Adebayo Maria!💝 This soap is what is used to make liquid soap. The final soap paste/bar is like a sugar baby candy. It is soft, squishy and sticky. If you add sugar as I do here: th-cam.com/video/xB5iqNbCNMA/w-d-xo.html it becomes more solid, but still is malleable. The reason is that KOH is used as the lye instead of NaOH. So while you could use it as a bar soap after mixing, I would not recommend it unless you make it into a sugar scrub soap 🙂
@@FromGracetoYou thanks so much ...... that's was helpful
Só produtos de excelente.
Obrigado por seu ótimo feedback, JOABE NOGUEIRA🤗💝
hi love this but how do or how much distill water do you use to turn this past into liquid, Help
Hi Florence!💝 I answer that question in this video: th-cam.com/video/ZeytJ5Duits/w-d-xo.html The essential oils are optional.
Hello Ms Grace. I'm getting ready to try making this soap paste but will like to add Kaolin Clay to it. Will that work?
Hi momo mily! May I ask why you are wanting to add the Kaolin Clay? Are you planning to make the paste into liquid soap or into sugar scrubs?
By the way, I don't see any reason why you couldn't add Kaolin Clay if you wanted to. I think it may make sugar scrub soaps a little less "scrubby" and more silky.
@@FromGracetoYou I want to make sugar scrubs and just love Kaolin Clay.
Sounds interesting. Personally, I would try adding it to a small bit first and make sure it gives you the scrub you desire before I added it to the whole batch :)
@@FromGracetoYou Thanks. I'll do that.
I was thinking this was soap glue "paste" (to piece together dry soap & new clay embeds) for some reason
OH! Lol I see how you could think that! Hmmm-I don't know what else to call it besides soap paste. Do you have a suggestion?💝
if you wanted to add some fragrance, when would you do with this process???
Hi Terese!💝🤗 Well it depends on what you want to do with the soap paste. If you are going to make it into liquid soap check out this video: th-cam.com/video/ZeytJ5Duits/w-d-xo.html . You add the fragrance to the slightly cooled off liquid soap. If you are going to make it into sugar scrub soap check out this video: th-cam.com/video/xB5iqNbCNMA/w-d-xo.html
Hi Grace, thank you for such a wonderful video! I tried running your recipe in Soapcalc and Summerbee Meadows, but I am not able to get the values mentioned in the description box. Can you please share which lye calculator did you use? I am trying to formulate one using hemp oil but I am not sure which lye calculator to use as they give different values. Hope you can help me. Thank you.
Hi Nethra, I just realized that there is a typo in the amount of Jojoba oil in the recipe! I'm so used to using 1 tbs of jojoba in my regular shea butter soap that I must have typed that by accident! Thank you for pointing this out!! I have corrected the recipe in the description to be this Soap Paste Recipe
44 oz Coconut oil (76 deg)
8.0 oz Castor Oil
2 oz Jojoba Oil
32 oz filtered water
12.5 oz Potassium Hydroxide (KOH)
I obtained the recipe from the Everything Soap Making book 2nd edition by Alicia Grosso. Thanks so much for your comment!!!
I use soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp
Thanks for updating, Grace! Sorry for the late reply as I was tied up with work. I tried this recipe by making a slight adjustment by adding Hemp Oil and it turned out fantastic! Thank you so much!
Fantastic! I am sure that the Hemp Oil will make it a very nice soap. Thank you for letting me know, Nethra 💝
Ms Grace, In your opinion, can I use this method for making body wash?
I don't see why not! In this video, I show how I take the soap paste and make it into a liquid soap for hand dispensers ( th-cam.com/video/ZeytJ5Duits/w-d-xo.html ). I add water and some glycerin to the soap paste and boil it on the stove while stirring and watching that it doesn't boil over until all the soap paste is dissolved. You can then add essential oils or fragrance oils or just leave it like it is without fragrance. I think that liquid soap is convenient for guest baths because lots of guests prefer to get soap from a dispenser than use a bar. But for personal washing, I far and away prefer using the soap bars.💝
@@FromGracetoYou Well actually I like bar soap also, But, not having made CP soap yet, I have a fragrance oil "Birch Wood and Lavender" that I like but I don't know how it will behave in a soap bar. Even though the label said it had been tested in CP soap making. I just like to have all the info and supplies I can gleem before starting soap making. Crazy idea to try it in liquid body wash first.
Oh I don't think it's crazy at all. With the liquid soap, the saponification process is complete before you add the fragrance. I think that the fragrance is much more likely to retain its original properties in a liquid soap. Along a similar line, I found that I can add fragrances to soap clay (soap that is fully saponified and mushed up) that normally disappear in the saponification process, but they stay true and stick in the soap clay.
Will a hand mixer work? I don't have a stick blender
You know, I have never tried making it without a stick blender, but maybe it would work when the soap reached the right temperature. But I'm not sure! If you try it, maybe make a small batch at first. I would love to know how it turns out if you try it. Thanks, Brittany💝
Is pH 10 normal for the soap paste of most liquid soap recipes?
I'm not sure, but I suspect it is. Most soap made with lye begins at about this pH before curing I think.🤗💝
Can i make soap clay with sodium hydroxide or does it have to be Koh?
KOH is for liquid soaps, etc
NaOH sodium hydroxide is for solid - hope that helps
Pls will it remain pasty or it will become solid like a bar soap?
Hi Zera! This will remain a paste and never become solid like a bar of soap because it is made with KOH ( www.essentialdepot.com/category/potassium-hydroxide-components.html ) instead of NaOH ( www.essentialdepot.com/category/sodium-hydroxide.html ). I keep my leftover soap paste in the fridge in a Pyrex dish -as a matter of fact, I still have some in there now.
Thank you for sharing but why is the ph so high
Hello Midnight blue! The pH of cold process soap and any soap made with lye (either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) has a high pH at first. According to Kevin Dunn in Scientific Soap Making found here: www.amazon.com/Scientific-Soapmaking-Chemistry-Cold-Process/dp/1935652095 the cold process soap maker has two ways to control the pH of their soap. One is to vary the fatty acid content of the soap by choosing different butters and oils and the other is to let the soap become more acidic by curing it. As it cures, the acidic CO2 in the air will slowly neutralize alkalis in the soap. The range of pH made by cold process soapmakers is approximately 10-11.4 There is a table provided by Kevin Dunn (p229) that shows the pH ranges for fatty acid and soap mixtures. He shows :
Fatty Acid pH
Lauric Acid 10.1
Myristic Acid 10.4
Palmitic Acid 10.7
Stearic Acid 11.4
Oleic Acid 11.2
Linoleic Acid 10.9
Linolenic Acid 10.4
Normal healthy skin has a pH range of 5.4-5.9. I have read that healthy skin will restore that pH soon after bathing. But I will tell you what I do to lower my skin pH after my shower. Every week I make this solution ( th-cam.com/video/sdPRkFWSV5w/w-d-xo.html ) I spray it onto my hands and mix it with some of my moisturizing oils or Quenchy cream ( th-cam.com/video/YqsrsQqgRi8/w-d-xo.html ) then smooth it over my skin.
hi dear thanks alot for sharing can i use glycerin instead of water??
Dear shk afs, I don't think so, but you know I am not sure. Water is the solution used to dissolve the lye and the for the oils and other ingredients to react in. Whether or not glycerine could accomplish the same objective...I don't know. Perhaps you could research it and let us know. 🤔😊 One problem with too much glycerine in soap is that it sweats too much because glycerine is a humectant (draws water to itself from say, the atmosphere) That is one reason I don't like a lot of the glycerine heavy melt and pour soaps.
thanks for answering please make body wash
I am thinking about making a Castile or Avocado body wash one of these days, but until then you might check out this video where I take the soap paste I make in this video and make it into a liquid soap which could be used as a body wash: th-cam.com/video/ZeytJ5Duits/w-d-xo.html 🤗
oh thanks alot you are best
just dear can i use whitch oil instead of jojoba
Hi, can you please tell me the purity percentage of your KOH.
Hi Tushar Kathuria 💝🤗 It looks like it is 90%. I use this one: www.essentialdepot.com/product/KOH-4.html
@@FromGracetoYou Thanks for quick response. I ran your recipe using 90 percentage purity in soap calculator and found that 12.5 oz KOH results in 10 percentage superfat. So did you use that much superfat or I am doing something wrong?
This recipe is one I obtained from page 160 of "The Everything Soap Making Book" by Alicia Gross found here : www.amazon.com/Everything-Soapmaking-Book-Techniques-Creating/dp/0739481967/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1508889769&sr=1-3&keywords=the+everything+soapmaking+book It is called "Liquid Soap in Slow Cooker". I have made it many times. I have not calculated the superfat, but if you used the soap calculator you are probably right:)
@@FromGracetoYou Oh I see. Normally they say don't superfat liquid soap as free oil will float on top after dilution. So did you get any oil floating on top after dilution when kept in bottle for sometime. Sorry for bothering you with so many questions. I normally make bar soap but thought of making a liquid soap hence the queries.
I have not noticed floating free oil on top after dilution, but I don't see any reason why you can't adjust the recipe to fit your superfat preference.:)
Have you made the paste with olive oil or other oils?
Hi Terry! No I have not tried any other liquid soap paste recipes. I have always been happy with this one:)
From Grace to You i saw a video with olive oil but did not lile ingrediemts, i cant always find castor oil or jojoba oil i love coconut though we hope to try this soon. The sugar video you shared by another lady did not work for us, it consisted of melting cp soap them adding sugar my soap n another soap didnt work. Thank you for pointing out the ingreients of commercial soaps containing harmful stuff we will make our own from now on
Does it matter if it is koh or noah is used?
As far as texture goes is why im asking.
Terry, yes it does. You must use KOH for this recipe.🙂
Shouldn’t the ph be 7 ?
Hi Ichorof! 🤗💝 No, the pH of real soap is usually higher. Let me first talk about homemade, cold process soap. According to Kevin Dunn in Scientific Soap Making found here: www.amazon.com/Scientific-Soapmaking-Chemistry-Cold-Process/dp/1935652095 the cold process soap maker has two ways to control the pH of their soap.
