Hi Tiffany! Thanks for your question. This video shows a way of making African Black Soap using the standard hot process method and adding in potash as an additive (similar to adding in clays or other additives to HP soap). BUT If you want to see the REAL African Black Soap Making process, watch my video here where I learn from an expert Ghanaian soap maker: th-cam.com/video/hLvSOaNXluk/w-d-xo.html If you are travelling to Ghana, I encourage you to take the class and learn from a professional as the process is very specific (and rewarding).
@humbird-ld9yr Do you use a mask when making soap? I always mix the lye and water outdoors and use gloves and safety goggles but not a mask. Would like to hear your take on this!
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure! I will post a new authentic African Black Soap Making video soon.
Thanks very useful for me
Glad you found this video useful! Happy soap making! :)
No plantains leaves or Potash?

thank you so much! i was wonder if the crock put is on high or low when you cuck the soup?
Great question! Currently, I melt the oils on HIGH. Then I cook the soap on LOW.
And…no mask…. Honest to god…
