This is fascinating. This experiment is something I've wanted to try, but I didn't know there was an easy way to make single-bar soaps, and I didn't want to waste my resources making whole batches of bad soap. Thanks for doing this so I don't have to. If you're game to make some dual-oil soaps, I will hang on every word.
Your bastille soap is surely so so so much moisturing. I also fall in love with 70% olive oil + 30% coconut oil soap bar. It doesn't dry my face skin at all, love it so much. I put 3% sodium lactate to harden my soap bastille soap bar.
@@need_officials_ I also use it in the kitchen, I grate some and dissolve it in boiling water, then after cooking I add it to a spray bottle. It’s great for cleaning counter tops, stove tops, sinks, etc. I just spray it on, leave for a minute and wipe it off. The bar also works for dishwashing, even though I did add some superfat. I rub a sponge over it, wash what needs washing and rinse under the tap. It works very well. After that one I tried to make a kitchen soap with faux sea water which helps get a harder bar. That was also very interesting!
The 1:1 Coconut bar is an ideal Laundry soap. Either for handwashing items or shedding into your homemade laundry soap mix. // Olive Oil soaps, I’ve always understood, require 12 months cure time 9-12. And as a result they are more expensive, and the slime factor diminishes 😊. // Rapeseed’s other name is Canola Oil. It’s a man made ‘creation, and statistics prove it to be Very deleterious to health. An interesting exercise Bravo 👏
Is so cool to see some explanation about the science behind soapmaking. There are a lot of soapmakers who just kind of "feel" out how to make a good soap, or know what it is supposed to "look" like. That works for them but it is hard to understand when explaining to others. Love the experimentation here! Trying out new things and learning, understanding how things work is I think one of the best parts of any activity that involves making something/dealing with a chemical process. This will be helpful to a lot of people, and I would love to see some dual oil soaps! As a side note, does the book go into the different kinds of butters as well and their properties (shae, cocoa etc.)? I have seen so much different conflicting information about butters, (for example, some people say you can replace palm oil with shae butter, and some say you can't!) it would be nice to know scientifically what is accurate information.
The book deals with the soap making process and not the relative properties of each oil or butter, but the nice thing with this way of making single bars is you can test each butter - note their feel for yourself and then combine to see which butters and oils combination works for you. If this is something people are interested in i'd be happy to do a series
Hello from Belgium :) Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. You explain the potential of oils in an extremely didactic way. I've been making soap for almost 20 years and I'm still learning.

Great video! It would definitely be interesting to see you make dual oil soaps also 🙏🏻

I recently made a hot process 72% olive oil 28% coconut oil soap and it’s lovely. Thank you for trying this and sharing!
You are so welcome!

Very informative. Thanks for sharing this ❤
A dual oil soap would be interesting to see. This was interesting. Thankyou for sharing your findings.
Thanks for watching!
this video was so wildly informative, thank you

Great experiment. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
This is great, i will definitly try this method to test recipes in the future
Hello from Belgium :)
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

I've been making soap for almost 20 years and I'm still learning.
I usually do 200g tests, but i have had some baaaad fails. Should perhaps go down to 100g tests 😂
i just started making homemade soap. im makin whole batches just to see results lol. but this single bar method is great!
I love it
Please check it Cannot be grams 500g = half litre? 500mg or ml makes more sense looking at the size of soap mould
Could you give me a timecode for this - just to make sure i get the right section you're commenting on please?
