I am a soap maker, now my niece wants to learn the process, I sent her to your videos. You are the best teacher in this field. Thankyou for explaining it great detail, always a pleasure to see a new video.

I just want to thank you for all your videos. Because of you I started making hot process soap a few years ago then pet soap, cold process, etc. You explain things thoroughly for beginners and that's what I like the most. Your channel will always be my favorite.

Awesome! Do you have a good hot process Castile Soap recipe? & how much water and essential oils or fragrances should be used? I have a recipe already but would love to get insight from an expert.

@SirenaSpades Жыл бұрын

I see what I did here. I just made a batch. I'd put the recipe I'd come up with at 10% superfat, through soapcalc, but holy moly, it came out as though it was full grease. I believe it was the hemp oil which must have driven it up at an undeterminable level. How disappointing, it was quite an expensive batch.

Thank you for the wonderful teaching. I am new to soap making and am enjoying your videos but I found this to be complicated. Will it get more understandable as I progress in my soap making experience?

@abcde12345edcba 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. I thought the same exact thing once upon a time too. There are lye calculators online that will help figure all that out for you until you begin to understand it. That's what I did.

If you still need this info, Anne-Marie of Brambleberry has 2 books with the sap values of common butters and oils. I checked out the e-book from my library.

So if using Shea as a main oil and formulating a 5% super fat, it’s really more like 12+%?

@Vrie. Жыл бұрын

No, super fat is calculated differently. It’s the amount you want of excess fat that will not sopanify.

Any opinion or suggestions on this? 40% coconut oil 76 35% olive oil 12 % Shea butter 8% evening primrose 5% castor 3% oil weight sodium lactate 8% super fat. I'm trying to develop my go to soap recipe but I don't have unlimited funds. I've tested a few different proportions already. The recipe listed is what I've come up with. Before I go and make it again I wanted to see if you guys think it's ok

3:22 I don't get your math at all... You have approx .257mg of coconut oil per 1mg of KOH, so you can't just multiply. 257 by 9 because that's .257mg x 9mg If you want ounces you have to further multiply by the number of milligrams per ounce...........right? 🤔🤨

Can we consider additive as superfat ?

@Kaileynorriscreates 2 жыл бұрын

You can add the “ super fat” or extra oils after emulsion but it’s not a guarantee that the added oil will become the super fat. Super fat is determined by the oil that saponifies the slowest not the order of oil added.

1.65 x .80 = 1.32 (common sense level math) 20 percent of 1.65 is 1.65 x .20 =.33 1.65-.33=1.32 (easy to understand beginner math)

Lye is the catalyst that turns your oils into soap. When you discount your lye you are leaving some oils unsaponified or superfatted.

@lovecate1 3 жыл бұрын

@@soaping101 I must admit I am confused. From your example of 9 oz of coconut oil and 1.65 oz of lye. What do you call it when you add oil to that without changing the amount of lye, as opposed to reducing the lye to 1.35 oz.? So instead of it being 9 oz of CO it would be 10.8 oz of CO and 1.65 oz of lye, or should this not be done?
