I choose the blue and white because I just got my nails done last night and they match 100% with the winter wonderland scene on them! Winter white and blue are my absolute favorite because it goes beyond the Christmas holiday!
So I have a question she said that she was using coconut milk but instead she was going to replace the water with the coconut milk. So does that mean the exact amount of grams or ounces that you have in the recipe you would just replace with coconut milk. I’m looking for a coconut milk and coconut oil only recipe. I would like to later make my own version with mango and cocoa butter but trying to find a base soap of just coconut milk and coconut oil is very difficult because I don’t want to add all these different oils that everyone else is using.
Is there a particular coconut milk I should use? I've read some of the coconut milks have other ingredients even though it reads 100% coconut milk. Thank you for sharing this process which I've looked a several video's on Coconut Oil Soap and yours I feel comfortable using. Again thank you for sharing
Thanks, Cindee! I agree.... I think adding botanicals to soap gives it a really special touch. Kind of a "pop" of texture and color. And I'm so glad you're enjoying the new videos! Thanks for watching! 😀
Thank you so much, Cameine! The spoon top is one of my FAVORITE tops to do! Definitely adds a lot of texture and interest. Thank you so much for watching! 💖
Happy Valentine's Day, Kelly! 💖 I think for soap, my favorite was the roses, but I'm also a big fan of chocolate, so I agree... if it comes down to eating it... chocolate for the win. *hugs* from North Carolina! 🤗
My coconut oil soap always cracks, I even put it in the freezer, last time i soaped it was close to 80 degrees, the time before i was at around 125 both cracked, any suggestion you could offer me? Yours look lovely
I find that soaping at lower temps and then putting it in the fridge or having a fan on a low setting blow across the top once the sides start warming up seems to help. Also, I've noticed that using silicone molds sometimes makes the cracking worse, and that wooden molds lined with freezer paper seem to absorb the excess heat a little bit better. (At least from what I've seen. I haven't conducted any experiments or anything, but I've found that coconut oil soaps made in wooden molds seem to crack less often.) If they do crack, you can try fixing the crack with a bit of rubbing alcohol and plastic wrap. Spray the soap with rubbing alcohol and lay the plastic wrap over the top and you can kind of "rub" the crack back together. Hope this helps! 💖
I have been experimenting with different oils, when I made soap with only coconut oil. lye and water, the soap lathers really good, but it has a sweet powder smell, I was hoping for no smell, it kinda makes me cough. did I do something wrong? or is that the way it s supposed to be? thanks
They both are gorgeous, how quickly can you use this soap, is this a Castile Soap that would need long cure? I would choose Roses. Although the chocolate is Gorgeous.
This was fantastic, Sarah!! Do you know how long it usually takes to trace with the coconut oil? I'm not sure how long to approximate it. I love your simple designs, not meant to hurt, but the more other's "busy up" the recipe, the longer the whole process takes. I've got many health issues and the simpler the better but I still want a nice design, like yours. The longer the process, the less money you make when getting tied up on style and design. Thanks so much for sharing this!! Hugz, Tree
How can I make this recipe into a coconut coffee scent? Should I just add fresh ground coffee or is there a coffee extract that would work better? Is this soap gentle and moisturizing enough to use on sensitive, eczema prone skin?
Lou Kout i have never heard of a coffee extract. Coffee grounds or coffee added as the water will unfortunately lose the scent during saponification. There are many coffee fragrance oils sold by suppliers (Rustic Escentuals, Natures Garden, Brambleberry, Mad oils, etc). You could blend coffee and coconut FO’s. Everyone with excema does not respond to things the same and soapmakers legally can make no medical claims. I have it on my face and soap makes it burn, even my own luxurious soap. I use micellar water instead.
Great video, just love how the vanilin colored the soap 🤗 I really want to make coconut soap,but I tired once,and it dried my skin 😩 any suggestions? virgin coconut oil and what about the lye? I can't find the purity %😕
Hi, Cila Nad! Most of the time, if you use coconut oil at a rate of 20% or more in a soap recipe, it can be drying to the skin. However, with this recipe, the superfat is bumped WAY up to 20%, so there is enough non-saponified coconut oil that is helps to make a gentle bar of soap. The lye I use is food-grade and is 99+% pure, according to my supplier. Thank you so much for watching! 💖
I made this HP with half coconut oil and half soy, and added a lot of coconutmilk. The mixture went nuts! It saponified very slowly, I needed to add lots more oil to neutralise the lye. Thick thick thick when it was hot, I had to stomp it into the mold, but when it cools off, it becomes liquid. Any ideas to the why of that?
Both are beautiful👍😁... How long will it take to cure? And would you say after 24 hours of it in the mold you cut it or sooner? Id love to try my hand at a coconut oil soap😁
Thank you so much, Stephie! I like to cure my coconut oil soaps for at least 4 weeks before using them. For this kind of soap, I cut anywhere between 8-15 hours. Too much longer than that and you run the risk of having your bars crumble. As soon as the batch has completely cooled down, you should try cutting it. Thanks for watching and have fun soaping! 💖
This the first time ever I am trying to make soap and I chose your recipe (had to tweak it a little bit) and it was going so well until I mixed the oil and lye solution together D: ! I blended it too much and it turned into a thick paste!!! I had to scoop it out to put it into the mould... Now I am scared to see how it is going to turn out :( I also didn't heat up the oil as my coconut oil was already liquid, could that be part of the problem?
Another lovely video Sarah, just wondering so whatever amount of coconut milk you measured out,is the discount from the water? So if you were not using the milk you would add whatever amount that is back as water? I hope I worded that alright, the chocolate bar got my attention it looked good enough to eat.
Nena_Xo making soap involves a chemical process. Cold process soap (as in the video) is made through combining lye and oils. They then go through saponification, the end result is soap. One these bars are cut they need to sit for 3-5 weeks before they'll be safe to use. All soap is made this way. Once the process is done the soap will be safe, but the lye is VERY caustic before and during the process. That's why safety is so important when making soap.
Nena_Xo Yup, Becky covered it. Safety is SUPER important when making soap (as Becky said). Until it completes the chemical process of becoming soap (saponification), the active lye can burn. However, once the saponification process is complete and the soap has had time to cure, it's wonderful to use. Thanks for watching! ❤️
Thanks for sharing your recipe. Your soap was fantastic.
I choose the blue and white because I just got my nails done last night and they match 100% with the winter wonderland scene on them! Winter white and blue are my absolute favorite because it goes beyond the Christmas holiday!
It was amazing! I was excited! Both are beatiful...Can you say how many% of vanilla in your fragrance oil? ...or what fragrance oil is it?
Hi...can this soap be made with coconut milk in place of water also??
I choose chocoalate. It was oddly satisfying watching you texture the top of the chocoate soap. So soothing. Thanks for sharing.
Love the roses on top!
Thank you so much! I figured it needed just a little extra "pop" on top. Rose petals seemed to fit. 😀🌹
I want to know if want to make this soap in large quantity then how to do? I need training. Plz guide
This was a wonderful video to watch even for the seasoned soap maker. I like both of the soaps equally. A nice contrast.
Thank you so much, Renee. I'm so glad that you liked it and thanks for watching! ❤️
Loooove making coconut oil soaps. So easy and quick! Nice hard bar that cleanses well with a high superfat.
Absolutely! Coconut oil soaps are just amazing! 😀
What's the amount of coconut milk you pouredbinto the coconut oil?

Hello Sarah can you say where you got your mold from ??? Thanks in advance and great video .
Nice video,thanks for sharing. I love the rose soap. I like the colors and love the rose settles on top.
Thank you so much for watching, Angela! ❤️
How much milk did you use
Awesome video
Just Fabulous Sarah! Beautiful simplicity!
Thank you so much, Carol! 💖
Good evening Sarah! They both were awesomely put together, but chocolate is my favorite...thanks for sharing...keep inspiring!
Thank you so much, Nadhirah! I'm a big fan of chocolate too. Nothing like a well-made piece of chocolate to brighten up one's day! 🍫
Great video .. love it. So happy to watch more videos . I love putting botanicals on soaps.. gives it a special touch
Thanks, Cindee! I agree.... I think adding botanicals to soap gives it a really special touch. Kind of a "pop" of texture and color. And I'm so glad you're enjoying the new videos! Thanks for watching! 😀
Hello Ms. Sarah , making soap are you using Soap Calc?
Beautiful soaps. Do you mix your mica with oil or something else? Can the mica be added to the batter as powder?
Oh! I love the spoon dip....nice textures.
Thank you so much, Cameine! The spoon top is one of my FAVORITE tops to do! Definitely adds a lot of texture and interest. Thank you so much for watching! 💖
Hey Sarah! Happy Valentine's day!

How much coconut milk did you use please? Thanks so much.

only coconut oil. lye and water, the soap lathers really good, but it

cough. did I do something wrong? or is that the way it s supposed to
be? thanks
please tell me what is spicy pinecone
They both are gorgeous, how quickly can you use this soap, is this a Castile Soap that would need long cure? I would choose Roses. Although the chocolate is Gorgeous.
Castile is 100% olive oil. Coconut oil needs a regular cure time. It's hard but it wears away quickly.

How much fragrance do you add
Do you insulate your soaps?
Whàt is the curing time?
Uses of this soap?
Very nice
They are both beautiful
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like them! 💖
Beautiful video for Valentine's day! Hope you received roses and chocolate today!
Sure did... and I hope you did as well! Happy Valentine's Day! 😀🌹🍫
Was this the same soap different variations
Yes, it was. Same soap that can be made SO many different ways. Thank you for watching! 😀
Great video! I'm going to try 100% CO with 20%SF today! I hope I like it :-)
I made this HP with half coconut oil and half soy, and added a lot of coconutmilk. The mixture went nuts! It saponified very slowly, I needed to add lots more oil to neutralise the lye. Thick thick thick when it was hot, I had to stomp it into the mold, but when it cools off, it becomes liquid. Any ideas to the why of that?
That's insane. Why did you add more oil? You should have been using the exact amount of lye to oils ratio.
Both are beautiful👍😁... How long will it take to cure? And would you say after 24 hours of it in the mold you cut it or sooner? Id love to try my hand at a coconut oil soap😁
