Hi Elly, have you ever been a school teacher? So far, I find your soap making video THE BEST and how you lay out the calculations and writing them out with the formula like I do when I try to break it down for myself or others. You have made it so easy for the layman to understand and a joy to learn. Thank you so much and please keep the videos coming!!!:)
Thank you so much Connie! I did study one year of education at university, but then switched to another degree. My current profession has some cross-over with teaching for sure. It's also hereditary. My father is a tradesman but natural teacher and I take after him quite a lot in that respect. Thanks for your lovely feedback :)
You are good. Simplicity at the best. Got you every times I watch. Tq.
@@yawhuilau I dont understand it!😂
I thought the same thing, she is amazing. I have never been able to find a better video to watch and understand than hers.
Oh wooow % are my worst nightmare not a clue until i watched this video.!!! You made it so easy to understand, i will watch a few more times until it sinks in. You have taken my fear of % away feeling more relaxed about it now. Your a life saver thank you so much for you calming teaching method.
My maths teacher, my science teacher, my soap making teacher. ❤
Finally understand everything well! All my frustrations and worries for the past few years of making bar soap were all gone. Now, I am so excited to try this my own with my very own recipe and oil blends. Thanks, Elly! You are one of the best teacher I have ever watched in You tube 👌👍❤️ God Bless you and everything in you.
Oh thank you so much, I'm so glad I could help you :)
Elly, you are a gifted teacher. Thank you 😊
Thank you
Love your videos Elly! Thank you for your generous gift of knowledge to the soapmaking world! 🥰
I really love how you acknowledged that not everyone can access EO’s or good quality FO’s.
Thank you for this it will be very helpful for me to create the scents I’d like in my soap.
You're very welcome, thanks for your feedback :)
Hi Elly, Thank you so much for teaching us how to do this and breaking down in such easy steps.
I love how you break it down Barney style and that you explained it so well. I took copious amounts of notes that I could look back to.
Just got my oils yesterday and was totally clueless how to proceed!!! This was super straight forward!! Thank you 😊
Thank you, this was extremely helpful ... will be watching again so I can take notes .
You're welcome. Thanks :)
Thank you so much Elly for your super informative videos. You make everything so easy to understand, and I very much look forward to putting it all into practice.
Elly, thank you. Your teaching is the absolute best
This is one of the most interesting channels I've ever found on RUclips. I've watched your introduction videos on how to make soap and I'm gonna try it this week. Thank you so much for all the explanation. You really have a gift to teach!
Oh thank you so much Luzia, that's really wonderful! I appreciate your comment very much.
You're such an amazing teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community. I love you
Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback :)
I am so happy I found your channel. You made this lesson so simple. Thank You for taking the time to share your knowledge. I will put this into practice.
Magnificent! Thank you so much! 😊 Explained very well and easy to understand! You’re magical ✨✨
I was just getting geared up to try my hand at blending EO and this was soooo helpful, I love your channel thank you for sharing! 🤗
You're very welcome, thanks for your feedback :)
thank you Elly for your generosity & kindness for sharing your experiences and knowledge to make our crafting easy
You're very welcome, thank you :)
Oh, Elly! This is terribly helpful!! Thank you, so much, for your teachings on this subject. I've learned so much!
Getting ready to do my first batch and you’re very helpful. Thanks !🙏
Fantastic - it's great to learn the difference between the different tiers of essential oil notes, and what to mix with what in order to produce a pleasant and enduring scent. Thank you Elly!
Thanks Rob, glad you liked it :)
I was so scared to use my EO because I didn't know how to calculate the right amount and being that they are expensive I definitely did not want to waste it or put too much in my soap. You explained it so well that now I feel confident to move forward with EO, thank you so much! I enjoy all your videos, so clear and informative 👌🏽
Thank you so much Elly for all your help in giving me the confidence to start my own soap business. You’re heaven sent! Keep doing what you do best!
Hello Elly! You are just spectacular! Your tutorials are so comprehensive and detailed. Thank you so much for breaking it down to a T. All of your videos have taught me so much.
I was all over the place until I started watching your videos.lol. Thanks again for all that you do!🌸
I love your smiley face, and you are so calming ... I learnt a lot from your channel.
Thank you so much 💞
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Hi Elly
I hope you don't mind me adding this. For people who may get confused with moving the decimal point they can just put in
3 divided by 8 then push the percentage button this will give 37.5 no need to worry about moving the decimal point. This works all the way through
and also 800 x 3 press the % percent key = 24 and 24 x 12.5 Press % percent key = 3
Regards
Peter
Thanks Peter, I appreciate that! I had forgotten how to use the percentage button, and find my brain works best with moving the decimal point. Only working on very basic high school maths here unfortunately.
If one can't move a comma around two times, one should maybe abstain from working with strong bases.
This is perfect Elly. Thanks so much for taking the time to teach and explain this. I really appreciate this. 💕
You're very welcome Michelle :)
Once again you have delivered gold! Your amazing absolutely saving my life! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much! 🙂 This is really helpful and you are a really gifted teacher😊....I wish I had at least a teacher as good as you are when it comes to explaining things😊
Thank you! 😃
I second that!!
I enjoyed this video so much! Math is my weakest subject and I find the calculations aspect of soap making to be the most daunting but watching your videos makes it so clear and not scary. Thank you so so much!
You are so welcome!
I’m trying to make melt and pour with just essential oil and I’m so lost
I want to add carrior oilaa as
Dear Elly, ther are no words to tell you how thankful I am for all your videos.
Oh thank you so much, you made my day x
THANK YOU ! I’ve learned soo much from watching you and are comfortable enough to give it a try ! I really appreciate you sharing this knowledge! ❤
You’re the best Elly! I’m going to give it a go this weekend. I do like the plain soap recipes but I think the EO frangrance will be nice.
Thanks Barbara, I love plain soaps too, but yes, essential oils are lovely.
So helpful literally thought about this the other day when making soap! Thanks. Btw- I pronounce it (and I’m confident that it is correct) Lit-Say-A Q-Bay-Ba. 😁
Thank you Jojo!
You are the best teacher I have watched so much on this and it still didn’t click.your video just explained it so clearly and I can now work this out and feel confident in making my own blends. Thank you so much for using your time to help so many of us.
Hello Elly I am new in soap making and your videos are just BRILLIANT. Thank you so much.
Thank you Elly, your a great teacher! I'm not good with math but you explained everything so simple and concise. I appreciate your time and effort and keep up the excellent work your doing 👏 👍
Thank you so much Elly for making it so easy to understand. I have just started soap-making and your explanation has made the calculation part much less daunting.
Thank u Elly! This is such wonderful info! And will make adding EOs to my soap soooo much easier! Thank u so much!
Thank you so much Elly! Once again you have helped me understand something I was having trouble working out xx
Thank for breaking down and explaining soap making. I’ve watched all your videos and they are so educational!
Thanks Jessica :)
WOW! I had not only an essential oils class, but also a math class that I will be using for my soap making experiences. Thank You So Much Elly. I greatly appreciate it.
Hi Elly, Wow you make things so simple. Great to follow. Thank you
Elly, you are wonderful! Many thanks for sharing💜
The best explanation EVER!
Elly, you are amazing! Once again, you explained a very complicated issue, into something I finally get! I love it when that lightbulb goes off in my head :-) Thank you again for being such a wonderful teacher!!!!!
This was an amazing explanation! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge!
I am so thankful for your videos. You are such a good teacher! Thanks!

You are the best! Never like math but with your clear instructions, I will give it a try. Thank you! Us beginners really need you!
Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful and easy to understand!
Thank you so very much, Elly! I’m so glad I found your channel. I can’t tell you how much you’re helping me.
I’ve made three batches of your soap so far and have started to share the bars with friends and family. We all LOVE your recipes! Just divine. Thank you sooo much for everything! 🥰🤩😍
Thank you very much Jill, that's so lovely to hear! Glad the videos are helpful for you :)
Your kitchen is so clean and tidy!
Yes I'm a bit of a neat freak ;)
Thank you so much for such comprehensive instruction. So helpful!
Thank you! You're welcome :)
Elly. You did an outstanding job of explaining this. Everything you said made perfect sense and was exactly what I needed to calculate my essential oil amounts. Thank you. Stay safe.
Thanks so much Marletta, I appreciate that.
Your videos are so thorough and helpful! Like others have said, your videos are the best on RUclips for learning about making soap. Plus you are a joy to listen to :) I appreciate all you do!
Thank you Nik!
You are a very good teacher 👩🏫!! I love how you explain everything ❤!!!!
Thank you so much! You’ve taken the mystery out of adding fragrance oils to soap
You're welcome!
Thank you for such clear and simple calculations! I am sooo happy now!
That's great Shirley, you're welcome!
Yes Elly you are gifted ❤my go to person for soap making and so much more knowledge. God Bless you 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for this video!😊 I am excited to try making my own blends now that I have the instructions. I made your lavender cold process soap last week and it turned out so lovely. Thank you again, your videos are great.
Thank you! That's wonderful to hear :)
I just have to tell you how much I LOVE watching your videos. You have such a lovely, relaxing voice to listen to and you share you wisdom so well. Thank you, Elly, I really appreciate the effort that you go to and I love the way you teach. Keep up the amazing work!! xx
Thank you Gabrielle, I appreciate that very much! Lovely feedback :)
This was the exact calculation I was searching for, even though I’m using it for candles. Every guide on using essential oils usually just tells you how many drops to use in a recipe but that’s useless if you’re wanting to be accurate and/or create your blends in bulk for multiple candles/soaps etc. So thank god I found this, it was so easy to follow! Brb, just going to calculate my special earl grey tea fragrance blend 🤩☕️
You are so welcome!
Thank you Elly, this was a really helpful walkthrough of starting out with essential oils and soap making! I'm about to try my very first cold process batch!
That's wonderful, Victoria. You're welcome!
Thanks Elly. That was really clear. Loved the top tip of using the make-up pads to test the blends 😁💕
This was a VERY informative video! Very simple & straightforward. Thank you so very much!
You're the best...thank you for sharing this with us.Stay safe,have a great weekend...❤️😍🥰
Thank you, you too!
Thank you so much! I am trying to duplicate BB's "Sunny Herb Garden" blend, which they discontinued and is/was my favorite. Now I know how to proceed! This was very clear and easy to follow for someone who is math challenged.
Another new crucial learning from you, Elly. Thank you 🤗🤗
Thank you so much, you're very welcome!
I'm so happy with your instructional style
Thanks so much Donna :)
Thank you Elly, I really appreciate that your sharing with us, it's very nice of you.
My pleasure!
You did a great job explaining the amounts of e.o.! I have been cutting up a sheet of kitchen paper into small strips to test my e.o.'s. Thank you, Elly, for breaking down this tricky stuff for us! Have a good weekend!
Oh that's a great idea with the paper Sonja! Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. It was quite hard to explain in words! You have a wonderful weekend too :)
The explanation was really superb. Easy to understand and now I know how to use EO in my soaps. Thank you so much for this simple yet informative video.😊
Hello, again I'm finding this video a year late. However, I am SO glad I did because I just made my first batch ever of saponified soap, and really had no idea how much percentage of essential oils to add. Nor did I know that a combination could be incorporated. While watching your demo just now, I used my calculator too, as I am a hands-on person. You have been most helpful, and I thank you!
Thank you Elly, that was very easy to understand. I love the soap combination you make. They are very lovely. I love your channel ❤
Thanks Alma :)
Another informative and easy to understand video ! Thanks so much Elly 😊🙏😊
Thank you Sherri, you're welcome :)
Your videos are great Elly, will need to watch the % and gram conversion again 😃 you make it easy

I liked this video before i even listened to it. That is how much trust I have for this channel. Elly you are a great teacher. This is helpful because i was wondering if i could mix frangance oils and essential oils together since i have both available. Thank you so much for this tip.
Thanks so much Lily
I really appreciate your videos and I am happy I found them first when preparing to do my first soaps! Your explanations about the lye concentration was highly useful and i still use your calculations and so far no recipe went wrong. Keep the good job and keep posting please. Thank you
Thank you so much, you're very welcome. Yes, I do plan to continue sharing many more soap making videos into the future :)
You are an amazing teacher!!! Thank you. ♥️

Thank you Dawn, I will!
Lovely. Thank you for sharing and explaining these basics. I'm just starting out on my soap making venture and have been confused by videos on the subject....until now! Again, thank you. I feel like I can, as you say, be independant moving forward with my soap making. Well done. Fantastic. Looking forward to playing and learning more from you in your excellent videos.
Thank you so much :)
Elly - Thank you so very much for another fantastic learning session.
You're welcome
Excellent video, very easy to follow.
Elly you are a genius! In the next couple of months I'm gonna quit my 9-5 office job and start a soap making business. I'm so glad to have found your YT channel! You are by far the best teacher at RUclips University lol I am not good at math but you make all these calculations so easy for me to understand. You are such a blessing and light to this space. Thank you thank you! ♡
