I use orange essential oil as well. That's a great tip to share with everyone. You have a charming personality Ms. Ellen. Don't ever apologize for your lovely tangents!

Unrelated to this soap but I'm using your Aleppo style currently. It's PHENOM! Thanks so much for making incredible soaps affordable.

Thank you for putting this on KZfaq. I have been looking for a recipe for this and I am so excited to try this. I bought 1 bar at my healthfood store over 8 dollars! Thank you and God bless you!

Thank you for your videos - and for always explaining what the ingrediens actually does. 🌸🤗

This is great Ellen, ty. I’m going to make this so my kids can stop wasting all my dish soap.

Hello Ellen, Thank you for your lovely video.I love your videos. I made this dish soap,it came out perfectly well.I have used in my kitchen it is awesome with plenty of lather .Thank you once again for sharing this video with recipe . please can you share triple buter soap recipe . Thank you 😘

Very nice Ellen, I like to add citrusy EO to my dish soap as well, usually I combine orange, lemon and lime, but your blend is calling me, anything with eucalyptus is good to me, thank you for sharing

Just love your vids Ellen :-) thank you - as always - for sharing! You're a super-sweet soap lady!!

My friend gave me 6 used jam jars today and I was almost quitting trying to remove the stickers, then I started to watch your video and you just helped me..I got my orange essential oil out and was able to remove everything in a small amount of time. I'm also going to change my dish bar recipe to yours cause I have soap residue in mine. Thank you so much.

I like to use orange essential oil in my dish bars too. These bars look beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I love tangents LOL! My brain relates 😂 Yes on the added olive oil!! The pure coconut I made was just too drying on my farm hands!! Thank you for sharing AND all the extra effort you put in! Really appreciate it!

When I make dish soap I use Real orange or lemon zest shave small into batch really good men's shop or home cleaning hands soap as well as dish soap. I add more castor oil no stearic acid or lactate. I find olive oil is good for hands but definitely makes soap softer

I made these, and they turned out great! I use it every day in my own kitchen. Thanks for sharing. I just love your videos!

The only time I used stearic acid it didn't turn out well. Will have to give it another try. Thanks for the video! 😀

You are an amazing person and such a beautiful soul... Thank you so much! I was definitely meant to see this❤

When you dropped the soap in the water I was like... 😲 lol. I want to try a dish soap one of these days. That brush is really cute too.

Awesome idea

Helen as always you come up trumps. 🥰🇬🇧

I love your tangents! Just be you and dont worry about it.i love your hair in this video🙂

Thanks!

I learn sooo sooo much from your videos. Thank you so much for continuing to share for us all to enjoy and learn from. So very appreciated. Thanks!!!

Very nice, I like these dish soap bars and I love orange 🧡 scent!!

I love tangents too!! I think the best, most helpful tips come on the heels of tangents😉😄 Thank you! For the video and the recipe! I'm definitely going to make some! I love watching your videos, you have some clever ideas, I've learned a lot from you & I love that you talk!! ❤

I love Coconut oil bars for cleaning they do such an amazing job. I use it to clean all my soaping equipment. Thanks for the video 🙏

Thank you the soap looks wonderful and in my family this recipe is going to be greatly appreciated

I love it 🥰

Thank you Ellen for sharing your recipe and video

Muchísimas gracias Ellen,desde Buenos Aires te mando muchos cariños

Great video😊

Thank you for sharing. I love your videos ❤️

Great video! Great product! Thanks for sharing 💖

I'll have to try this. Just need to get some steric acid ordered. Thanks Ellen for sharing

Thank you so much. I have tried buying solid dish soap online and it always seemed to oily for me. I’m going to give this a try.

Great minds think alike. I use left over bacon and hamburger grease to make dish soap and it works beautifully and the fat isn't wasted.

Gosh, you have a great personality and beautiful voice, face and laugh ❤ I always use orange oil to remove sticker goo! Thanks for the recipe! Can I use just olive? I have an allergy to coconut.

Eucalyptus oil also removes sticky residue

Hi Ellen.. I just bought my Stearic Acid.. may I know how do you dissolve stearic acid for making this soap? Thank youu.

Hi Ellen this is a great recipe thanks. Do you have any plans for a dishwasher powder or tablet recipe as I've tried your clothes washing powder and liquid it is a fav of mine now.

I love this and would like to make some, but when you say you are working on Room Deperature, what di you mean. When making cold process soap, don't we need to warm up the oils for the right temperature and also the lye? Can you be so kind to explain this. Thank you!

Thankyou for sharing. I’m going to try this. Can I use a blended essential oil say like “calm”? I’m thinking it might calm me when I do dishes 😂😂

Thank you for the great video Ellen! Do I have to wait 4-6 weeks to use like with other soap?

Love your videos! Can I omit the stearic acid? Thanks

I love this video, just waiting for my ingredients to arrive to make it. Do you stamp your dish soaps prior to curing?

Lovely 😊 I’ve made 100% coconut oil dish soap and it left some pretty harsh residue and spots. Do you find it with this recipe?

If I didn't want to add essential oils to this, would it be ok to add ground lemon and/or orange peels? Do you think it would leave bits of stuff behind, or would the scent even come through that way?

Awesome 😎 thanks for sharing. Where did you get the brushes from so cute 🥰

Thank you so much for your videos, you are so inspiring! I just made these and I soaped too hot so they kinda volcanoed in my molds. Lesson learned :) I have a quick question about PH, if I test right after putting them in the mold and they've hardened a bit should the PH be around 9 or will it be higher right off then lower after they have set & they're actually ready to unmold?

Thank you for this video and recipe. I am making this today. I am excited 😄. Just want you to know that the chemicals in the ph test strips are toxic. So don’t get it on your skin.

Wonderful🤗!!! Can I use something else instrad of the stearic acid?

thank you for the recipe i wonder if adding 2 tbs of glycerin will help with the conditioning without reducing the cleansing

Hello Ellen, thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I have tried a very small quantity (200g 😉) and I had a funny surprise: a few minutes after pouring the soaps in the moulds, they started to react like small volcanoes 😳🤣. I am a beginner and as I have read that if we use Stearic Acid it needs a hotter soaping temperature (at least 160 ° F) to make sure it stays melted ... Does the mistake come from that? Thank you so much again for all your videos, I learn a lot with you, and from my mistakes too, haha 😅

Thank you for this video. I plan to make this dish soap soon. As a hobby soap maker, I still consider myself a beginner. I need to scale down the recipe and calculated that 9 oz of water is 27% of the 33 oz total oils. In my lye calculator, do I check off "Water as percentage oils" and enter 27%? That seems very low. Thank you in advance for your guidance on this.

when you left them to sit for a day/overnight did you leave them room temperature while the sat in the mold? also where did you get your molds?

I used the other recipe you shared without castor oil yesterday, which one do you like the best?

Thank you for the recipe. I just made these today. Im a beginner and even though I followed the recipe mine came out with white spots all over. I looked it up and it says its stearic acid spots aka my temp was too low. Was I supposed to warm the oils or the distilled water before mixing?

Do I use 4 oz less coconut oil if I use the 4 oz of olive oil ?

I know this video is a couple years old but I just started making cold process soap for our business about a year ago and we want to add a solid dish soap to our line. But we wondering if you have to use a food grade lye for dish soap rather than the regular lye you use when making CP?

Thanks for the recipe! Can you use Goats milk soap instead of water or will it be to hot for the goats milk?

Hi Ellen, it seems like your stearic acid usage rate is 3% of total oils. Isn’t that a bit high? Thanks a lot for the great content.

This looks like a great recipe and cannot wait to try it. One question though, due to the high coconut and 0 superfat for this recipe, do you still wait 4-6 weeks to cure?

Sounds and looks wonderful, just a question...do you still need to cure these like regular soaps? Thankyou 😊

Hello Ellen when do you use a hand steamer what’s it for please?

I am a very beginner on making soap and want to learn it so bad (not for business) so last night I tried this recipe. I used same molds (bought them from you a package of flowers and two round bars) but I got two bars more than you 😏. So I found out that my scale (etekcity) has oz. Lb oz. G. Ml. (Water/milk). Fl’oz (water/milk). Which one should I use oz or fl’oz?

Such a great idea! Where do you find the dish bamboo scrubby thingie?

Hi Ellen my soaps they look very grainy is that normal? or can I put them on a saucepan and try to dissolve them in a low temperature heat

Been looking for a good dish bar formula. I have some clients with coconut allergies, do you have a good recommendation for a different oil besides coconut for a good hard bar. I'm a coconut oil fiend but am trying to accommodate some sensitive clients.

Hey Ellen....where did you find those small scrubbers?? I love those

Hi dear thank you so much ♥️ how many days we have to wait to star using them ?

im really sorry but im completly new to this.can u replace coconut oil plz ?dont want to mess up at first go .

Could you pour it direcrly into a ramekin?

I currently do not have any olive oil or coconut oil for this recipe, but how would a hemp seed oil work in place?

Hi Ellen.. do you wait 4 weeks to use it? Or just use it when ph is okay?

Hi Ellen! I have a question... could I do this with hot process? Either in a crockpot or "high-temp hp"? I do mostly hot process soaping. Thanks so much and I love your videos! :)♥

hi and im sorry im new to this but i do like it .i have a question about that acid u used .well im not english native so to say and when i translate to my lingo makes no sence .so chemical formula of something would be good tyvm .but bloody i will try .1s u buy in shop is crap .sorry

Wonderful, gorgeous!😉 Ellen where do I go to ask a personal question?? TIA

Hi there, Could I pour these into a mold and slice them into blocks - rather than into individual molds?

I would like to incorporate hemp seed oil and was thinking I could modify the olive oil from 4 oz to 2 oz and add 2 oz hemp seed oil. Would this change the outcome significantly?

I notice you have 2 dish soap recipe. One with coconut + castor + olive and the other coconut + olive + rice bran oil. Which one is your favourite and which is more gentle to your hands? I dont use glove when I wash dishes so looking for dish soap recipe that doesn't dry the hands.

I love your videos. I made this recipe but my stearic acid may not have dissolved all the way. So is my soap still good? I took it out of the mold today and have it curing. Thank you.

Hi😅 what brand such we use for the olive oil?

Would this recipe be able to use a certain percentage of goat milk instead of all water or what would you suggest? Im having a hard time finding a recipe

I tried making this recipe today and I stirred way too long and it got super hard so I can’t put it in my molds. Is there a way to heat it up again or can I not do that with the lie already mixed in?

Where can you purchase lye? I see some on Amazon but have no idea which one is right for this recipe

Where did you purchase these fantastic brushes? I also saw the shave soap and love the little metal cups with handles if your willing to share i would love to know where those came from too! :)

is this the 1 plz c18h36o2 ?can u replace with something else plz ?

how long does each bar last?

Did you say how long they need to cure for?

Ruth,Can we use Palm kernal instead of coconut oil??

Does it requires curing period like other cold process soaps?? Thankyou

Hi Ellen, so, I just boiled down some dark beer, now when you made your lye solution with it, did you freeze it, or did you just make it after it cooled all the way down?

What do you do about the film left on dishes when theyre washed in hard water?

Hi Ellen, i live in India and my weighing scale just says 'Oz'. The ounce you're using here is the US fl ounce? And does it matter? Also, how important is it to check the temperature while making soaps? Thank you.

I'm a new soap maker, I have 2 questions, first question when adding all the oils for soap calculator do I add the 2 ounces for essential oil? Can you tell me what is the lye concentration or water lye ratio for this recipe. Thank you

So Is it safe to say that regular soap is skin safe after a week also?

Do you need to let these bars cure for 4 to 6 weeks like other cold process soaps?

I made some of the solid dish soap and the color is weird. I didn't use any fragrance or essential oils. Most of the bar is a light tan color and then at the top of the bar (what was exposed to the air) is a layer of white. I just pulled them out of the molds and haven't tested the pH yet because I was curious as to why it looks the way it does. Do you know?

I am making this recipe. added the stearic acid flakes but doesn’t dissolve. What should I do😤😤?

I made this tonight but forgot the sodium lactate and sugar, will it still be hard and at least a little bubbly? I can grate it down and rebatch it and add the sodium lactate if I need to.

How soon can these be used after made? Do they have to cure for 4-6 weeks

Could you make dish soap bars with rapeseed oil?
