I think a simple, unscented soap is still my favorite to make and use. There's just something about the smell of an unscented bar that I love. The first soap I ever made was a simple 3 oil soap using a plastic food container as my mold. :) I hope you're all staying well and doing okay! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Holly, i so love your soap. i mean i am imagining how gentle it is on skin. I resolved to making my own gentle soap using melt and pour, but as i read the ingredients of it, i see a lot of things that i didnt understand leaving me with an impression it is not gentle either like the commercial soaps. what is your say on melt and pour?
This may be the video that finally cracks my fear and hestitation of soapmaking. Thank you for showing such a beginner friendly and affordable tutorial!
Holly, these look fantastic, there's just something special about a simple soap! And your photography and film editing is awesome! Total goals! I had to laugh because I'm in the process of editing a "grocery store soap" video too 🤣
I love how cartons bow a little and make the shape they do. They're very pretty 😍. Simple soaps are my favorite to see 🥰 Great work and explanations. 😃
I used this soap for my very first attempt at cold processed soap and so far so good (although I JUST TOOK IT FROM THE MOLD, so we will see, but so far so good! Thank you for your instruction. I would have liked the lye to water mix you made to be included, but I used the calculator and figured it out. Thank you!
Made this soap again. Love your channel! I made this soap. WOW Great soap, so creamy and a lot of bubbles. I also used a milk carton. This is one of my favorite formulas. Thank you for sharing.
Ms. Holly.... you are a legend. This is where I will begin my soap making journey...... I will be reading all that you suggest BEFORE even getting supplies. Thank you for sharing your talent and the beauty of what you do.
You know that milk carton actually gave a nice shape to the bar of soap. The cookie cutter would make a great shape for a shave bar. A plain bar of soap, just the natural color is always a favorite of mine.
I love using milk cartons for molds. I like the shape and it always brings back memories of my first few batches of soap. :) Thank you so much for watching, Renee!
Your videos with recipes and showing how to put info in soapcalc have helped me understand soapcalc and the basics of making soap. I your speed and gentle voice is a plus. Thanks for your videos
Nice video emphasizing safety, while also unveiling the joy of making and using plain unadulterated soap. I made plain soap for my family for years before I ventured into fancy swirls and scents. There’s just something appealing about the scent of soap. Nice creamy, bubbly lather. Only you could make hand washing look so good, lol.
An absolutely great video! I am a new soaper and today I made one of your recipes today! So thankful for you sharing yours, not too many soapers online do...thanks again!
Holly, you are a super star - soap maker!!! I am very drawn to your beauty, simplicity, and very natural process. God bless you for sharing and teaching...☀️✨
There’s always something beautiful about plain white soaps. One of my favourites. Xxx I love tallow/lard based soaps & have made them for a long time. So good for the skin. X
Thank you so much for sharing, Holly! I always enjoy your videos and there is something so beautiful and timeless about an uncoloured and unscented soap. The larger looks lovely too ☺️
Less is more! Thanks for sharing, Holy. Always love your videos and your soaps. Always classy, stylish and professional👌😘 Greetings from Pretoria, South Africa 💟💖😗
Another beautiful video and soap Holly. I've had a very stressful few days and was feeling quite tense, just listening to you and watching your beautiful video has made me feel lighter :-)
Bonjour Holly, Une belle mousse pour ce savon, avec des produits facile a trouver. merci. Hello Holly, A nice foam for this soap, with products easy to find. thank you
Holly I made this soap today...it is beautiful. It took a long time to trace. It was such a pleasure to stick blend. Thank you for all you wonderful videos and sharing your knowledge.
I agree, the simple soaps are just so nice.. I think my favorite recipe is a high olive Bastille type, with a touch of coconut and castor, with some type of milk, with honey and oat flour..Leaves such a nice natural sweet scent.. I used to make recipes with lard, which helps make such a nice soap, but I seemed to have a slightly piggy smell left in the cured bars..Fragrance oil would cover it best, but essential oils, not always..I always tried to heat the lard slowly and not too hot.. Also, it seemed late soaps created more soap scum and sometimes a film on my skin? Ever noticed this?
Lovely! Thank you so much for sharing. You make it looks so easy. When I'm ready to start cold process soap, I will definitely try this!🤗 Be well and stay safe.
Your soaps are so amazing! Even the simple ones🤗 The others are so ....artistic that while watching I totally forget that they are soaps❤️ I’m going to use your recipe for the simple soap, though I use hot process hope it turns out beautiful as well!🤗
Holly, you do these videos with such excellence and beauty. Thanks so much for sharing. Is there an affiliate link for the stainless steel beaker-type containers you use? I’m so happy to order thru people who are so good at helping other people. You’re the sweetest.
Hi holly am a huge fan of ur simple soapmaking .. I prefer to replace water with milk... can I do that in this soap? We dont hv lard here so planning to use palm oil instead.🙂
Thank you for watching! Yes, you can definitely make this a milk soap instead. The first soap I ever made was identical to this one except I used palm oil instead of the lard. It was a wonderful soap. 😊
Hi Holly, i love your soap videos! I like the lard recipe and was wondering if i wanted to add castor oil to the recipe what % would you do and wgat oil would you cut back on? Thanks!
I love it Holly! Unscented soaps are the best for my skin, eczema and all. Did this soap give a moisturizing effect as well? I'm finding my soap that I made at 6% superfat was nice on my skin, better feeling and didn't make me feel dried out. Thank you Holly, I always look forward to your videos. Stay well. 🥰💞😊
Thank you! My skin didn't feel dry at all after using it...felt really nice. However, if I had dry skin issues, I might lower the coconut oil in this recipe to 20-23%. A 6% superfat is a great idea, too. Hope you're doing well!
I just found this video, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have made a few melt and pour bars but really wanted to be able to try cold process without breaking the bank, my question is can you add like oatmeal and scents to this recipe? Without ruining the outcome?
What percent did you so please? Do you find it drying at 25% CO? I've always been to nervous to use over 15% lol. I got distracted last time I made lard soap so I want to try again using this formula if you didn't experience dos. It could've been an older box of lard since I had to get it from a wholesale local frozen food store. Thank you for sharing!
I don't blame you. If you have really dry skin or are just sensitive to coconut oil, it can be really itchy and drying in higher percentages. As I mentioned in my other response, I'm okay with 23-25% but I don't have any dry skin issues. I'd definitely use less if I did. I haven't had any DOS issues with the lard I purchased from the grocery store. I did use some older sunflower oil once and sure enough got them. So aggravating! Thanks for watching!
So nice and simple video. Thank you so much. One question about the hardness. Have you used any ingredients to make the soap hard and maintain the hardness while using in water ? I had made some soaps but it’s getting very soft once the water touch the soap.
Thank you! No, nothing other than just time. Usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for the soap to dry out and get hard enough to last when used, but it can sometimes take longer if you use a higher percentage of water or if you're making something like a castile soap (100% olive oil).
Holly - Kapia Mera Soap thank you so much for the reply. Delighting ..One more question please..😀😀😀 Do I need to use food grade caustic soda for soap making?? I had used normal caustic soda flakes which is quite cheap in price.
Please disregard my SF question. Idk why I didn't see it in your description when I read it 😃. Still curious though of whether the 25% CO is drying to the skin or not.
No problem! I definitely won't use anymore than 25% and actually prefer my recipes with 23% coconut oil during the winter months. I've tested different percentages and find the 23-25% range is fine for my skin. However, anything above that and my skin gets itchy dry. If I was someone with particularly dry skin year round, I'd probably even try 20%.
how much lye should i put in the water like measurement wise? and in what measurement i dont have a measuring cup with ratio yet and i wanna start but i don’t know

Am so excited to make this, but am not sure how much Lye and water I need for this recipe. Thank you 😊
Holly, quantas gramas de água e quantas gramas de hidróxido de sódio,por favor... Quero muito fazer este lindo sabonete.
This may be the video that finally cracks my fear and hestitation of soapmaking. Thank you for showing such a beginner friendly and affordable tutorial!
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for watching and good luck with your soapmaking!

Oh, thank you so much, Ellen! That's so funny we had the same idea! Well, I can't wait to see yours! 😊

Ms. Holly.... you are a legend. This is where I will begin my soap making journey...... I will be reading all that you suggest BEFORE even getting supplies. Thank you for sharing your talent and the beauty of what you do.
I usually make part of my water ice cubes. It really does reduce lye fumes by a TON!!
That's a great idea! It definitely reduces the fumes!
You know that milk carton actually gave a nice shape to the bar of soap. The cookie cutter would make a great shape for a shave bar. A plain bar of soap, just the natural color is always a favorite of mine.
I love using milk cartons for molds. I like the shape and it always brings back memories of my first few batches of soap. :) Thank you so much for watching, Renee!
I never thought to use a round cookie cutter, brilliant! I always wanted round soaps, but never bought round molds..
Fab narration, Holly! Honestly, unscented soaps are really the way to go. Fragrances tend to dissipate anyways.
Thank you!!
you are not only a soap maker you are a serious artist. beautiful craftsmanship thank you for sharing;)

I like that you have a grocery list for soap making. Nothing fancy.
There’s always something beautiful about plain white soaps. One of my favourites. Xxx
I love tallow/lard based soaps & have made them for a long time. So good for the skin. X

That’s my favorite soap combo. The lather is amazing. Or sub tallow for the lard.
The lather really is amazing! Thank you for watching!

Oh, I'm so glad it worked for you! Thank you for watching and for letting me know! 😊 💕
How long does the soap have to cure after it sits out for the 48 hrs? Is it just the usual 4-6 weeks? Or is it ready immediately after? Thanks :)
4 to 6 week cure. It is wonderful. Creamy and bubbly...
I love my simple soaps, too. I love your videos. ❤️

Hello Holly!! Thank you for your awesome and easy to follow recipes. Is it okay to add powdered milk to this recipe...like in the oil?
Thank you very informative

Hello, can i put some glycol extract on the soap? I start this amazing art a few weeks..
Thank you 🙂
I just found this video, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have made a few melt and pour bars but really wanted to be able to try cold process without breaking the bank, my question is can you add like oatmeal and scents to this recipe? Without ruining the outcome?
How long does this soap typically take to cure?
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!
How much water and lye? Tries to use your recommended soap calculator.. but it was kinda confusing. Thanks..great video tho
The animal fats bring some very nice properties to my soaps. Beef tallow, Lard, Duck fat, Goat tallow, all very nice.
Hola me encantó tu jabón de 3 aceites , sin embargo no comentaste cuánto de agua y cuánto de sosa cáustica?
The lard always make a creamy leather. And I think make your bar a little bit harder, so your soap doesnt melt in the shower.
What benefits does the lard have on the skin?
I like it!
Thank you... 👍💕💕💕
Thank you! 😘💗🌿
Maam please make some Dettol soap cause my skin is irritated off allergic.
Hi my name is Louis just wan to ask a question between low temperature soap an high temperature soap which one is good
Excellent video. Thank you. Why do you keep it wrapped in a towel?
Thanks! Just to help hold the heat so the soap goes through gel phase.

What is the measurements for lye and water, please.
Thanks.! Very transparent making.
How to make soap
Coconut oil
Palm oil
Castor oil
Share recipe. All skin type. Congrats.
At which temperature did you combine the oil and the lye, and how long will it cure
Hi there, I have mainly coconut oil and palm oil, what would be your recommended ratios with lye?

how much lye should i put in the water like measurement wise? and in what measurement i dont have a measuring cup with ratio yet and i wanna start but i don’t know
If you take her oil measurements and put them into a soap calculator, you should get the lye and water measurements.
Thanks you for replying... 🤔
Have u applied any non sticky layer coating inside paper mold
Wow, and I've only used lard for household soaps.
Thanks for your soap recipe, good contents. Can you tell me about Lard? Is it oil or butter?
It’s animal fat. Butter if solid, Oil if liquid. It’s 100% fat,.
Could you also include the amount of water and amount of lye you used please. Thanks nice video though
If you take her oil measurements and put them into a soap calculator, you should get the measurements of how much lye and water to use.
