you killed the game Andrea Fabry, incredible video for anyone starting off in this business/hobby. Thank you

I have gone through so many KZfaq videos but never enjoyed any of them as much as this one. Thank you so much for not annoying music and for clear English and of course for amazing ideas. Can't wait to try them.

So much to learn all about soap. thanks for sharing! I truly enjoyed your video.

I did the hand milled and the castile soap this past weekend. I will be doing some of your others out of the liquid soap soon . Thank you so much.

You can also make an organic pesticide and fungicide using 1 tsp of castile soap and 2 tsp of neem oil, and enough water to fill a 24-32 oz spray bottle. Add all ingredients to the spray bottle, shake well, and spray your plants. It's best to make a fresh batch each time. I used it on my vegetable garden and herb plants spraying tops and undersides of leaves. I sprayed them about once a week.

one of the best videos of this kind I have ever seen.

Thank you Robin! Nice to hear from you.

Great video. Thanks much Andrea Fabry.

Wow! Great Video! Thank you, I learned a lot! I really like the bubble bath.

What a excellent way to use finances on other things & not spending on soaps. I really appreciate the time you took. I have you on my favorites bar. Much thanks Miss Andrea :))

Thanks for sharing. Added to favorites.

Thanks for sharing this!

Wow, great video, you explain things very clearly, I learned so much, and thank you for your smile!

Absolutely fabulous. Really enjoyed it:)

Brooke, As long as I stir it right away and add enough water it remains liquid. Sometimes I need to shake it but there is no sour smell or going back with the basic castile soap recipe I use. You can add some tea tree oil as a preservative perhaps.

lovely video! thank you so much for all the great ideas :)

I got so much going on in my head with excitement of doing diy thanks I need to cool down.

Ahhhhhhh I love this, thank you!

This was great, and it looks like fun.

Thanks for the video. It was fun watching you.

to the point and very informative. thank you

you are very informative thank you

Love these ideas is the homemade Castile soap ok to take a shower with

Other youtubes for castile soap call for 1 bar for 1 gallon of water. I made 1 bar to 4 C water as said here and it turned to a solid that was impossible to work with. Had to continue to add water over and over. Such a big difference...Any thoughts?

love it thanks a lot for the video presentation.

Thanks for sharing. This was inspiring. :-)

Using 1 bar of castile (using Dr Bronner's, but any castile will do--they say on links) to 1 gallon water. Since there's a huge difference of 4 c water and 1 gallon, wondering how it could be the same product you end up-"liquid castile." 4C version was so thick I could cut it--and barely could get out chunks of thick jelly-like mass. I tried with the gallon of water and it was fine, I used Dr Bronner's, Is yours just more concentrated--then you add water to use for body wash, etc?--thx!

Hello - I just wanted to ask the difference between some processes ive seen online, If you add 4 cups of water to the shavings and melt it it stays liquid? Do you have to be concerned with it going bad if not used immediately? Do you know what is happening (soponification I know but I am just not understanding the difference) between your method and the alternative some use by melting the bar on the stove with 2+ liters of water, letting it sit overnight and it thickens. I've tried this and OMGosh - It was almost a solit gel mass and when I tried to use it it had a texture of a relentless booger, and some of it actually smelled sour after a couple of days. I know.. long comment but I thoroughly enjoyed your simple yet clear presentation. I am hoping you can relay some of this complicated soap stuff in a way that I understand. Thank you so much for your help.

You can also use a muffin tin coated with coconut oil as a mold for the bar soap.

GREAT video! :)

great video

You're right, Marion. Castile is a generally accepted term, however and more readily understood in terms of natural options.

FYI A VIDEO I SAW SUGGESTED ADDING 20% ? ABOUT CASTILLE LIQUID STORE BOUGHT TO KEEP THE SOAP FROM GETTING THICK/GOOEY AND IT WORKS SO,WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW WHY/WHAT IS IN IT AND HOW WE CAN DIY AS YOUR WAY IS SO MUCH CHEAPER.

Hi can you list what ingredients did you used to make for your dog's tick repellant ? Thanks

You bad honey ,I need you on my team,explain with no problem best viv you rock keep up the good work right to the point,stay blessed.

Steady taking notes.

Lady.. you are a queen.. you just made me a fan!

Thank you for the wonderful video! I had no idea about any of this! You can teach an old dog new tricks! But I would like to tell you that your head is crooked on your neck and you need to go to a chiropractor and get your neck and skull adjusted so that you can stand up straight. It's not good for you to have to hold your head crooked all the time. Watch the video and you will see what I mean, you are tipping your head far to the right and that means your neck and skull need to be adjusted. Hope this helps you. Again, thanks for the lesson! You might want to consider whether or not your hairstyle is causing this as it seems you are tipping your head to keep your hair out of your eyes. That's an easy fix with barretts for a healthier stance.

GREAT INFO! A BAR OF CASTILE IS ABOUT 2 BUCKS WHERE AS A 16 OZ BOTTLE/ 13 TO 15 BUCKS. SHAMPOO I HAVE TRIED AND IT WAS NON FOAMY SO FAMILY DID NOT CARE FOR ,SO,TRYING TO LEARN WHAT TO ADD.

Castle soap is one hundred percent olive oil soap... otherwise it is bastile.... and u can't make it using a bar of soap. Is lye, water n olive oil... although i suppose if you melted down a bar of castle soap you could call it castile liquid soap, if you liked, but since a different kind of lye is used for liquid and solid soaps it will most likely be slimy or snotty textured when it cools....

Why wouldn't you use your soft scrub on your granite? What do you use instead? Do you use your castile liquid on your floors, if not what do you use? Thank you for your video, the Best, most comprehensive & time sensitive I've seen.

How did you melt the soap for the bar soap

I forgot to add the vegetable glycerin while the bar of soap was melting. Can you add the vegetable glycerin after the mixture cools and hardens?

Great video.

Do I have to use the soap you did, or can I use any natural soap?

what essential oil brand do you use?

That's cool

I love hand made home made soaps and shampoos I have hypoallergenic skin and sensitive and product for my skin are rare and extream expensive . Years ago my beautician show me how make my own soaps with oats oils and herbs and I treat so bad case of skin sensitivity that ppl literately turn heads when see me . I use geranium for hyposensitivity of skin ...have natural oils what also are good for astma ......USE growing geranium in room when somebody sleep but not directly next to bed as taking lot of oxygen out of space when is put .....during day next to SUNY window give plenty of smell during night ...it's calming for nervous ppl and animals .

Tea tree oil is an absolute no-no for cats. In fact, most essential oils are a problem for cats as their liver will accumulate them and it can be quite toxic and even deadly for cats. Please add this info to your site and video.

How to melt the soap for the soap bar - on the stove, or oven?

Loved the video, thank you so much. When making the castile soap, can you just use any bar of soap like irish spring or something like that?

Thank you for this video. I don't know what has happened. My liquid has turned to slime. First I got a block of slimey thickness in a block. Then I added hot water and it is a white slime in amongst an off clear liquid and streaks of white slime. I don't have a clue. Each bar was 70g and it was in a kilner jar. I bought the soap from a supplier and it didn't have the ingredients. It just said castile and the other one said buttermilk. I am scared to try the buttermilk also. Please help. Love your information.

What is the shelf life for your liquid soap products? After you grate your soap then add the hot water, how long will it stay good for?

woow

I appreciated your video. One suggestion: do not use bar soap to make shampoo. The fats in the soap will clog the hair follicles, and you are apt to find your hair thinning. My hubby decided years ago using shampoo was not necessary...and he has lost much of his hair. Other clients of mine have had the same reaction to using bar soap on their head.

Put when u turn a bar soap into liquid soap you need to use preservatives bc bar soaps are formulated without lots of water ,

Who randomly ended up here, me i did. But this video is cool :)

Castile soap is 80-100 percent vegetable or olive oil so how can water be added to that bar and have it be Castile soap?

I'm a 60 year old grumpy old man, but I'm also a thrifty grumpy old man,so where would I find these essential oils that are being used in these products? TY!

Great video , Thanks for sharing i am off to the kitchen ....:)

What's the point of adding live bacteria to soap?

I dont understand

I can think of a 13th thing to do with a bar of soap.

You don’t need to use both borax and washing soda. They are both alkaline water softeners. Silly. Potassium hydroxide doesn’t have a ‘longer chain’. Your liquid soap is just bar soap dissolved in water. Glycerin adds ‘soapiness’? What’s that?

Don’t forget. If your using kitchen appliances or utensils for soap making then you can no longer use those items to cook food with again.

Why do so many of these people with their homemade laundry soaps use so much alkali (borax and washing soda here)? And then pretend they can use so little of the mixture per washload? There's hardly any soap in there!

+1 = 13 = Throw it away!

adding no Chemicals? Don't you know that water is a chemical?

your not using castile soap your using bastille soap

kinda cringe name thou
