Years ago I used a homemade soap with aloe juice and loved it. After that I make most of my soaps with full aloe juice. My last soap i made I used half aloe and oat milk. Beautiful soap.

I love watching your videos and have learned so much from you. You are truly an inspiration to those of us just getting going with soaping. You are a jewel to share your recipes....Many thanks....

The bars look so refreshing. I love Aloe Juice! It does look like the clay. Like that you showed the Lather test. Cheers. 👍🤗

You are such a joy to watch. I can tell you really enjoy what you’re doing and thank you for sharing

I love this one. It made me realize that I haven’t made a French green clay soap in so long!😊

Pretty soap! ❤

Beautiful!

Can’t wait to try this.

I love aloe Vera soaps!

Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us. I've wondered about using fresh additives, tallow, and aloe for a while now!:) so informative and absolutely beautiful!❤

Oh wow I made the same kind of soap a couple of months ago but I juiced and frozen the cucumbers in place of my water along with coconut milk. It came out very creamy and very lathered. As always, I love how your swirls come out.

Beautiful ❤

Just love your channel!!

Ooohhh Love it Mrs. Ellen

Your videos are awesome. Love watching.

❤ Thank you

The colors were great.

Lovely minty soap!

So mesmerizing to watch, love it great inspiration 😊

Thank you for sharing, they are beautiful

Very nice. I love it and definitely will try it

You are an inspiration like your videos Thank you😊❤

Thanks for sharing. Loved it I’m trying this recipe.

Love this soap the colours are gorgeous, will definitely have to have a go at making this soap.Wow ! Look at thevlather on that soap.Thank you for sharing 😊xx

Thank you so much for your videos. I just love how you explain things and the science behind what you are doing. Beautiful soap, I will have to try cucumber puree. Bless You!

Love this! I made a cucumber mint soap in the past and added mint on top as well:) I want to try a facial soap in this scent! I think it will be wonderful for spring! Thank you for your videos! I always love them!

Marvellous video, Ellen. Thank you!

Love it! I have some tallow I purchased to make shaving soap which was an epic fail. But I needed to use up the remaining tallow, so I’m going to give this a go. I don’t have any cucumber and the roads are iced over right now, so I’ll have to skip that part. But yours looks amazing! Phenomenal lather too! Thanks Ellen!

I bought this soap and can't wait to use it! Currently using the goat milk, honey. and oat soap, and I love it! ❤ Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a cucumber mint from another supplier and it's the choice for an esthetics salon I have my products in. I am going to try the cucumber puree. Have a wonderful weekend !!

I have done cucumber soap before, but I squeezed the juice out and froze it for my liquid. I use the peelings, dry them and infuse in my olive oil. I will try your way to purée the meat of the cucumber! Great video Ellen.

This is wonderful seeing that you always try different additives and find you enjoy it. I use many of the same things you do in my HP soap! They give so much skin loving qualities I love! I hate you closed shop but thankfully I was fortunate enough to grab some before you sold out!! I've already used the " love you" soap and I absolutely love the quality of your soap!! The fragrance and creamy lather is amazing!! I have tried a lot of handmade products and I have to say yours is one of the best ever!! Be proud of yourself and if u ever see the opportunity to open shop again you'll have a regular customer with me!! May you & your husband's journey through health concerns get better through prayers! I've been devastated here lately with my own children's health so hopefully through prayers and love may everyone get better...God bless!

Gorgeous lather!❤🧼 I'm going to give cucumber mint a try. I have frozen watermelon, coconut water, goat milk, aloe and mango. All stuff i processed last summer for soap making. I just haven't made anything in a while. But your videos always inspire! Thanks for sharing ❤

These turned out so pretty, and that LATHER!!!!!❤❤❤ I bet they smell amazing!!!

I LOVE cucumber and aloe vera in soap but I also add avocado, it turns out so great, best soap I make! Ty for your video’s! Hugz, Tree

I love you and i love your channel❤, I can't wait to see the new chapter for your channel and for you😘. we are always here💐.

I actually made a cucumber and aloe soap last week. I used a juicer on the cucumber and did a 50% cucumber juice and 50% aloe juice for the lye liquid. The liquid turns orange after adding the lye but turns back to green afterwards.

Lovely❤❤❤ as usual. This green color shade looks so beautiful😍 I have never made a cucumber soap, it's still in my 'to do' list 😊That aloe cucumber combination should really be amazing. I have a question, could I sift the cucumber purée through a cheesecloth to then add it to the oil mix? ... This is what I do when I make aloe juice (from my mama's garden fresh aloe vera plants) Thank you very much for sharing another excellent video❤🙏

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will definitely try this recipe, with papaya from my mother's garden. Finally, i have some braveness & courage to try making soap using fresh fruit & vegetable. 4.5% x weight of your soap = maximum amount of fresh food ingredients to add on in your cp soap. Nice info by the way. Tq. ❤❤❤

I love watching your videos! Do you have a video on how you prep your work station before you start making a batch. Im almost ready to start my first batch. You mention prepping. Just want to make sure I start off on the right foot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Where did you get your scale? I looked on your Amazon shop and in the links, but don't see that listed...thanks! Love your channel, and thanks for continuing to be teaching on KZfaq!

Are you going to put this in your shop once it’s done? I would love to try it!!😊

A great video as always. I was hoping to learn about adding sodium lactate and you didn’t use it this time! If you are using it, do you add it to the water after the sugar is dissolved but before the lye? Beautiful soap by the way! I love the swirls! 🧼❤️🥒 I will definitely try this recipe! 😊👍🏼

This soap looks amazing. I'd love to try it. Can I ask, what can I use as an alternative to tallow? Thanks for sharing

Those are very pretty and I bet they smell amazing 😂❤

I hadn't heard the rule about not putting more than 1 oz fresh ingredient PPO before. Thanks

I'm definitely going to try this. Can I ask a question? I know you out the tea on the top but could you grind the tea and mix it in the soap as an exfoliant rather than on top?

Instead of tallow what other oil or butter do you recommend for this recipe? Love all your videos!!!!!

clays tend to clump.. try do hydrate them few hours before soaping .. you will have a better outcome ... great videos from Yours ..thanks for sharing🥰

I love this soap just one question can we replace the tallow ingredient in the recipe?

Hi ! Can we substitute tallow with Palm Oil?

Could I use a juicer for the cucumber?

I am getting ready to use the triple tall skinny mold!! It says it holds 170 oz. What size do you make your bars? I've never used a log splitter & I'm nervous about setting it up for correct measurements. LOL! I think I read that I should get 30 bars out of it.

I have noticed some soap makers using tallow lately. I don’t think I could feel clean using that. I not sure about this? The other ingredients are wonderful!

Where are you selling your soaps? The only soap I found, all of them were sold out.

Just a question is it ok to add shea butter or olive oil after saponification , will that be ok for shampoo or soap

Doesn't the Peppermint turn brown on top?

Have yet to make my first batch of soap😂but have been watching videos for months. Not sure if I missed it, what happened to the other four ounces of cucumber? Was it puréed and added to the lye solution? Sorry if this is a dumb question:/

Hi i love your videos thanks for sharing, this looks beautiful. How can i scale this down i wouldn't want to make huge batches like you do as it would be just personal use for family really. Do i just half the recipe in the description its a massive batch too big for me.

Why didn’t you purée the entire cucumber with skin? My problem would be eating the cucumber… i love them!😊

Since you closed your shop online will you do farmers market?

Wish I had a chance to buy some of you soap. I was going to check on your opening day tomorrow, but checked today, and it's all sold out. 😢

Can we juice, the cucumber 🥒?

Mrs. Ellen I was worried about your hands when you were mixing the lye and aloe solution. But I know you have years of experience. But whew!!! 😅

How can we do this with just buying a soap base and melting it? (Cold pressed pour bar) I don’t want to deal with chemicals with little ones around. Do you have an email?

I absolutely love the feel of tallow on my skin.
