HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- We're using Rendered Bacon grease to make this soap today. Yes, the lard smells like salty bacon and I was skeptical about the odor.... But after saponification, it has no "bacon" smell at all❣️

I am a Lard girl! The soap is so lush on the skin and never smells like bacon post saponification. Great lather as it cures. However, very slow mover and must have patience. If you over stick blend with an accelerator FO, you will be sad😂 Thank you Ellen, for always sharing your amazing talent and love for soap making.
I use 75% lard, 20% Coconut and 5% castor. It's great! Using lard slows trace, it's good for more complicated swirls that need time.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, I was surprised and happy with the slow trace on this💙
Lovely Ellen, I hope you´ll be able to open your shop again in the near future.
"Fight Club Soap" is a masculine and absolutely fitting name for your new product.
You are one of my best loved Soap Queens ever! You´re a very good teacher.
I´m from Germany and make my soap only for my family and friends.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much! I'm not planning to open my retail shop again, but I sure do love making YT videos💙
Love to see how excited you still get to see the soap as you cut it! You're the best! I could watch you all day long 😊
I've never made soap with lard or tallow, but I'd like to try! That colour combo is beautiful 🩵🤎🤍 It's such a joy to watch you make soap!
You should give it a try, they are fabulous soaps💙
You will not regret it. Both are great, lard makes a very moisturizing lovely bar and tallow ( I had used beef and bison) make a very hard long lasting bars that feel just great not only in soaps but skin lotions and creams as well. Just try.
" Fight Club Soap"...😅😅😅👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks for sharing! ❤
🤣💙
Yippee! So glad for no bacon smell! Great soap.
I was so happy the bacon scent didn’t come thru💙
Hello Elen! Thanks for that amazing recipe! You can also make potassium soap with that lard. Potassium hydroxide is used and neem oil is added. No color, no fragrance. Once the paste is ready, it is diluted and used as a natural insecticide and fungicide on plants. Big results! Greetings from Guatemala!😊
Ellen, I love it! I use left over bacon and hamburger grease to make soap for washing dishes. Even without "cleaning" the grease, and with no fragrance, it only smells like soap. I use lard in my HP recipe so I may check into your supplier. Great job, like always!
Wow, that's good to know about the scent not coming thru! Great info💙
Very pretty colors for this soap. Lard is a great ingredient for making soap. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!💙
I love making soap with lard, I am waiting for the opportunity to try tallow next. My first time soaping with Lard it did take a while to trace which gave me the opportunity to try swirling for the first time. They are my favorite bars so far. Thank you for all your efforts in bringing us these wonderful soaping recipes and additive ideas. I appreciate you!!
I’m loving lard soap too❣️
Ellen, I am trying your laundry soap. Cannot wait to use it. Regarding the rendered bacon, we use it so often here. I clean the chicken, beef, and pig fat. Then If you have rendered it, the bacon scent will not remain after curing and will smell like the fragrance you use. This works like a dream. Actually, people many people love to know their bars were made with bacon!
Yes❣️ I was so happy that the bacon scent was totally gone after saponification💙
i made a lard soap with oo co castor with goat milk last monday turnsd out great love using lard and tallow in soap
I made a lard soap for my daughter-in-law. She had requested a fragrance that was known to accelerate, so I replaced my palm oil with lard and tweaked my recipe just a little in an attempt to slow it down. I did a layered soap and it worked great, but now I have a whole bucket of palm oil that I am going to struggle to use because I love the lard soap so much! 😂😅😊
Thanks for sharing!! What a fabulous way to deal with a fast moving fragrance💙
Spectacular. I bet it's luxurious, too since it has lard in it. NICE!
I’m loving it💙
Gorgeous soap! NGL, I'd still buy it if it smelled like bacon.
Please never stop showing us your amazing soap videos! I have learned SO much watching your talented and sweet self stir up my newest obsession….stirring up oils with lye…..voila! SOAP. Even the fails have been great learning and I have related to the stress of situations!
Thank you so very much for taking the time to answer my question. You are so sweet.❤😊. The scale I was using would take forever to settle. I would put one oil away and get ready to measure the next, and the weight had changed up .4oz. So I REALLY appreciate it your comments.❤❤
Thank you for sharing your superb recipe as always.
My pleasure 😊
Love lard in my soap, I use it in my regular recipes.
I can see why, I'm loving it too💙
I love rendering and cleaning bacon drippings. My grandmother taught me how to make soap from rendered down lard. She also gave me my great-great grandmother's receipe for making lard soap and how to make lye. Also not sure if you use Candle Science but they are having a 50% off their 1 once fragrance oils.
Love that family tradition💙
I love the colours and the swirls are so beautiful!! 😍 💞 Sorry I'm not crazy about that spooned top though. 😕
My family used to make lard soap. I was too young to help, but I did make it when I grew up. I loved it! I decided to start again, so my first batch was with lard. Ironically, the first shaping video I watched was yours! Lol! I had no idea we could have pretty soap until I saw your video! Lol😂
Same here we just referred to it as lye soap. Grandma always saved bacon grease and made soap for the whole family. Nothing fancy though.
I was wondering what happened to your shop. Just started wet shaving and was looking for a good shave soap when I found you. Looks like I missed out, but I still love watching your videos and I love your laugh and your good spirit.
Thanks for watching! I closed the retail side of my business to focus more on YT and family.
Love the colors too
Very pretty! Love your swirling patterns!
I loved 🥰
Every time I make lard soap it takes a while to reach trace. I love the lard soaps.
Yes, I love how slow the trace is💙
Beautiful as always.❤️
Thank you! 😊
I just made a lard soap for the 1st time last night! I really enjoyed working with it.
It’s so pretty 😍
These turned out beautiful! I LOVE that swirl and colors! I’m so glad the bacon smell left!😂 Wonderful to see you, Ellen!
Thank you so much!💙
Those are really Super nice 😊
That is beautiful soap!
Thank you!
I actually made 2 different recipes yesterday, 1 with Tallow and the other with Lard. Lol, while soaping I binge watch your older videos 😊 You are such a a wonderful inspiration Ellen. I just got my "tall triple skinny" mold the other day. Beautiful soaps, thank you for sharing! ❤ Many blessings.
Awesome, it's such a great mold! I have a video coming with a tallow vs lard lather test💙
Those swirls are fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Simplesmente perfeito 😍👏👏
Beautiful colors and swirls!
Thank you! 😊
Gorgeous swirl!
Thanks💙
that color pattern is very frutiger metro-esque. i love it 👍
Those are absolutely ❤
Thanks 💙
I make all my soap with lard or tallow. Lard slows trace; tallow goes a little faster, but it makes a good, hard soap without the need for palm. My lard soap is always super white. I wonder if the residual sugars from the bacon are scorching just a little bit and making the soap yellow. I use as much CO as lard, and I get great lather.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, I wonder if the "extra" ingredients effected the color? But I'm still loving it💙
@@EllenRuthSoap I love it, too.
I have been wanting to do a lard soap. I can't wait. Thank you looks great
Hope you love it as much as I do💙
Where did I miss that you had closed your shop? I have checked every few days. I just assumed you were taking a long break after the Christmas season. I am so bummed but it's good to see you have continued as a hobby.
Yes, it's closed. It was a hard decision, but a good one for my family💕
I love using lard and tallow ! It's the best kind i make! It's always moisturizing and creamy! These swirls are lovely ❤ well, u always make gorgeous soap Ellen! Great to see another video
Agreed, I've been loving the tallow and lard soaps❣️
That is so wild I just made a men soap with the same color from bescented. Also a bluish green color too. Definitely going to have to try the bourbon fragrance oil. Beautiful swirls as always 😊
Hello Soap Queen, this is such a beautiful soap, those swirls are amazing. The colors are beautiful. Even the yellowish looks pretty.
Next we have to try using titanium to make it whiter. Just live it. Going to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!❣️
I use bison tallow and love it! But I haven't tried lard but bought some recently. Can't wait to try it now. I do love that fragrance, also.
Cheers 👍🤗
Bison tallow sounds awesome💙
I made a soap with 35%lamb tallow (home rendered) It had a lamb-smell all along, until after soaponification and cure for a few weeks. I used a fragrance called Cracklin Birch 3%. The recipe had 20% coconut, 15% palmbutter(palmkerneloil), 10% shea, 5% castor and 15% oliveoil (due to the high prices) I also added all of the extras ERS-style 🙂 It is now one of my go to soaps at home. Lovely addictive smell and great feel.
Your recipe sound fantastic❣️ Thanks for sharing💙
Lard slow trace Ellen and is amazing so I will say the lather will increase with time. I have customers that request 100%lard soaps and swears by. I rendered myself straight from the butcher in town.
You're right, several weeks after I made this video, the soap is lathering like a dream💙
It was my first time to use lard last week. I used 10% cocoa butter, 20% coconut oil, 5% castor oil, 25% lard (pig tallow), 10% mango butter, 20% olive oil, and 10% shea and like your batter, it took a while to trace. If I had used beef tallow, it would trace really fast 😅 I didn't color mine and I like how yours turned out! I always look forward to the swirls in your bars, they're always mesmerizing to look at 😍
Your recipe sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing💙
You can always pick scents that go with bacon, like brown sugar and ginger 😉 Would probably make me hungry while working with it 😅
🤣💙
I bet it will be great. I love lard soaps. Now I don't use bacon fat due to the extra spices and curing agents but lard, so creamy.
Very true, the ingredient list had all the spices…💙
That's pretty
Use lard or tallow in most of my soaps. My family loves them
It’s so good💙
I’m a new soaper and have only used lard with coconut oil so far. Loving it! I actually would like to use a bacon scent several of my male friends would like it….make a coffee and bacon soap would be great lol
Ooooo, Coffee & Bacon would be fabulous❣️
@@EllenRuthSoap right?! I just need to learn how to formulate…make my brain explode lol
I’ve used both Lard and Beef Tallow for cost effectiveness, but have learned animal fats are amazing for skin. There is a meat smell in the beginning, but that goes away after curing.
They are both fabulous💙
Hello Ms. Ellen. I love those awesome colors!! You're right about the work to render the bacon fat. I did it awhile ago. Took a long time. But soaps came out beautiful. I have a question: where did you buy the container with those scoops? The teal color is my granddaughters favorite color. Haven't been successful in finding them.
The large containers are from Dollar General, the one with the teal lid is from Ross
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you very much!!
The colors are great. Very manly.
Thanks💙
I love this soap. Tallow is so underrated! My husband is a hunter and i just rendered a fair amount of deer tallow. It's quite different than other animal tallows though (very waxy). Would you use the same recipe replacing the bacon fat for deer fat or would you do something different? Also, would you use the deer tallow the same way you do in your beef tallow lotion recipe?
If you replace any oils in soap, you'll need to run the numbers thru soap calc, but they do have deer tallow as an option:
soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp
@@EllenRuthSoap ok, I'll have to compare the recipes and alter it a little if needed. Thanks!
I love watching your videos. I am a massage therapist and esthetician and just started selling my soaps at my salon. Do you have any advice on running a soap business and being successful?
Thanks for watching! That's such a huge subject, my best advice is love what your making❣️
What does the clay do for the soap. Sorry I am very much a newbie. Studying before I start! Thank you for your valuable information!!
It adds a really nice slip to the lather, and is good for the skin.
Beautiful soap what do you do with your soaps since you don't sell anymore ❤
Thanks❣️ I’m making much smaller batches and we use it, give it to friends & family and or donate💙
Hi Ellen great soap. Please where do you buy your fragrances for soap making.
This one is from BeScented
@@EllenRuthSoap Thanks for the fast response. I am actually looking for the best fragrance company. Because I have bought a number of them and they are all not nice as the commercial soap scent.
try it with goat milk lots of bubble
Where do we buy your soaps 🧼. I don’t see a link for it.
I no longer sell my soaps, my retail shop is closed.
I use lard in half of my soaps but like everything else for soap making I can't find an affordable bucket of lard. May I ask where you purchased your bucket from, can purchase single items from the place, and is shipping affordable?
Here is where I got mine from, it's a co-op type bulk food buying group: naturallyadeal.com/
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much. I hope you have an amazing weekend.
In Israel we don't have lard. Can i use tallow instead of lard?
Do i need to recalculate the recipe?
I would run the numbers thru soap calc to double check the lye ratio, if you sub with tallow.
Substitute for lard?
If you sub the lard, you'll need to run the numbers thru soap calc to make sure the lye ratio is correct.
I am interested in using whale and/or seal oil in soaps. They are liquid at room temp. Does anyone have any ideas on recipes. I am very encouraged by the no bacon smell, gives me hope that I will not smell like whale 😂
how to make 4 loaves of soap
You can double, triple... the recipe. I do suggest running the numbers thru soap calc if you're resizing.
@@EllenRuthSoap sorry i still dont understand
Please formula in grams in the country. Weight in grams
Google has a fabulous oz to grams function.
You could probably wash it one more time in a crock pot if the bacon smell survives saponification???
Wait a minute, what have I missed since I have been away. Your shop is closed? Why, if I may ask?
Yes, I closed the retail side of my business to focus more on YT and have family time... Priorities💙
@@EllenRuthSoap good for you. Enjoy the family time. I am so very happy for you.
This is not a soap comment. Do you like your scale? I recently bought a WeighMax scale, and the weight jumps all over the place and is not accurate. I am returning it. So, I need a new scale. Before I buy one, I was wondering how you like yours. Thank you!!!
Personally, I've been loving my scale. If I'm going fast, sometimes it takes a second for it to settle on a weight, so I can see what you're saying.
NO YOU WILL NOT SEMELL, LIKE BACON AFTER
Yes🙌💕 It just smells like great soap!
