Thank you for the consistent high-vibrational and soothing energy throughout your videos. I'm new to the channel (and also soap making), and was wondering if you or anyone else on the comments thread had any tips for getting harder castille/bastille soap. Because of my sensitive skin and young children I like to make gentle soaps with as few ingredients as possible. I almost exclusively use olive oil (pomace), and shea butter as my fats.

Add sodium lactate will help harden soap into very hard bars. Add about ½ teaspoon per pound of oil to the recipe. Stir it into the lye solution well, making sure it is fully dissolved before adding the lye to the oils.

After it's cured, yes. If you use it too soon it'll essentially be a sodium hydroxide relaxer to your hair which would not only potentially damage your hair but would be extremely dangerous to come in close contact with your skin and eyes.

Honest concern, why does google mention Lye being bad for skin, but is used in most soap?

Lye is necessary for making soap. Any soap you've ever used was created using lye. The chemical reaction when lye and oils are mixed (saponification) creates a compound that is neither lye nor oil. It is soap.

You need to let it cure for at least 2 months, otherwise it will dissolve in your hand at the first wash.

Four to six weeks of cure time is necessary for the saponification process to complete. It insures that there is no free lye or oil remaining, and is completely safe to use.

(with a 5 % SF) 190.0 gr water (distilled) 64.35 gr. lye (NaOH) your numbers for a similar, 550 gr. batch: 550 gr. olive oil 85 gr. water (distilled) 70.8 gr lye the difference between the lye quantities is slight...but the water differences are very different...is there an explanation that you can say about the water differences? thanks for your input...kiitos!

@tellervo. 2 жыл бұрын

The first recipe has a 25% lye concentration and the second I think has a 45% lye concentration. I prefer soaping with a water discount because this way I can unmold the soap quicker, I have less issues with soda ash and the soap will become much harder sooner as there's less water that needs to evaporate out of the soap while it's curing🙂
