Hi there - we made this and are very impressed BUT it went very amber in colour - do you have any suggestions for a way to make it closer to having no colour?
My pilot friends tell me that their airplane used propolyn glycol to de ice the plane windshields It is also used to absorb extra water and maintain moisture in certain medicines, cosmetics, or food products. It is a solvent for food colors and flavors, and in the paint and plastics industries. Propylene glycol is also used to create artificial smoke or fog used in fire-fighting training and in theatrical productions
Can this soap be used as melt and pour? I am looking for hot process melt and pour recipe.. I already purchased the UG2HP book, and it is a super wonderful book.. But I don't think I read about melt and pour in the book
Yesterday I made this recipe, it is wonderful! It hardened in one or two hours in cavity molds, then I melted a piece, added TD, powdered yellow mica, lemon fragrance and made some opaque, vibrant colored, beautiful little lemons for embeds! Very pleased with it, it still smells like alcohol, I just wonder the time we need to cure this transparent base before actually usiing it. - - - Ayer hice esta receta, ¡es maravillosa! Se endureció en una o dos horas en molde de varias cavidades, luego derretí un trozo, agregué TD, mica amarilla en polvo, fragancia de limón e hice unos pequeños limones opacos, de colores vibrantes y hermosos. Estoy muy contenta con la receta, todavía huele a alcohol, solo me pregunto cuánto tiempo necesitamos para curar esta base transparente antes de usarla.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I have created a few M&P recipe's but I could not figure out how to get a complete translucent M&P slightly but not completely translucent. I used 99 % rubbing alcohol and sugar water 2-1 because that was what I had on hand. My M&P turned out good following your recipe and it is translucent. I'm happy to have found your easy recipe and it only took 10 minutes to make. thank you!
Hello, thanks for being kind by sharing this recipe. It takes a big heart to help! May I ask if there are more Transparent Soap recipes in your ebook as I understand this is a basic recipe. Thanks again!

Hi! I loved your récipe! I live in Brazil and I'm having troubles to find sorbitol. I wonder if there is any other sweetener that replaces it keeping the transparent and clean aspect of the soap (other than the sugar that darkens a little) thank you! Thanks for sharing.
Many people use sugar without issue and without any discoloration, so if you absolutely can't find sorbitol, it is worth a shot. Otherwise, sorbitol will likely need to be purchased from an online supplier, such as a cosmetic supplier or bakery supplier. It is a very common MP ingredient and is included in almost every MP base made.
Moro no Brasil também e pra substituir o sorbitol faço calda de açúcar (lembre de passar na calculadora antes) Pra calda de açúcar não ficar amarela, vou pingando algumas gotas de sanitizante de legumes, você encontra em mercado mesmo na sessão de verduras e legumes, encontrei em um mercado grande aqui da minha cidade por 12 reais
Could you add some glitter during the cooling process and swirl it around to give it a bit of a mystical glimmery effect inside? What kind of shimmery materials could I use to achieve this? I know some people use mica powder for resin projects like that, would that be safe to use with this chemical mixture?
Thank you for making this video! It looks like this is the only tutorial I've seen that doesn't require a crockpot or constant heating on a stove, am I correct or am missing something? If I don't need to make the soap in a crockpot or stove, that would be awesome! Could you please confirm this?
@@THEULTIMATEGUIDETOSOAP Thank you so much for sharing your work and research with us. This is an amazing amazing solution to soooo many issues for soap makers. Please don't think I'm silly for asking this but can the propylene Glycol be substituted with alcohol? Should the MP soap be left open for 4weeks after making it to reduce sweating when the MP is used as embeds on CPR soap which has to cure for 4-6weeks? Thanks so much.
@@soappycuppycakes Yes and no on the propylene glycol. Propylene glycol not only helps lower the melting point of the soap mixture, but it is also is a midler solvent. For this specific recipe, we don't recommend doing a full replacement for the ethanol/grain alcohol, although you can certainly reformulate accordingly to accomodate the exclusion of the PG if desired. And luckily, this recipe is very low sweat! Cold (and hot process) soaps need exposure to the air around us so that they can experience an acidification process and water evaporation. You can use this recipe as "MP embeds" and it works wonderfully. Unless you are located in a very humid environment, you should not have any issues. If you have any other questions, please let us know!
@@THEULTIMATEGUIDETOSOAP I'm in the Caribbean so humidity is a challenge that's why I asked about allowing the MP soap to cure. I'm not sure what to do now but I love your technique. Thank you so much for replying.
Hola, estaba mirando el video de jabón base en 10 minutos, que por cierto es precioso. Tengo unas dudas, ¿el sorbitol hay que diluir 66.66 gr ,? o solo hay que agregar 100gr de sorbitol en polvo al alcohol? Saludos!
Awesome! This is probably one of our most popular recipes and students absolutely love them! It is actually one of my favorite classes to teach too. I hope you enjoy and keep us posted!
thank you for this recipe, I made it yesterday and leave it over a night to became solid It is Crystal and clear soap but I noticed that is an aggressive soap, after use you fill your hand very dry please how can we made it more mild and soft?
This recipe is designed to be an introduction to clear soap making and although it is a certainly a mild bar, it is not formulated to act as a soap that provides gentle and softening properties. You can reformulate the recipe according to your needs.
Yes. The soap will still have a lower melting point than traditional soaps due to the other solvents; however, it will not be as transparent and it will not be as easily meltable. We recommend following the recipe as it was written, or adapting and reformulating to better suit your personal needs. -ERIC @ UG2SOAP
This is exactly what I was looking for. I do have a question though and I hope you can respond, the brand LUSH only combine glycerine and sorbitol to the hot water and then add the oils and EOs. Will this also work? Thanks!
If you do not add the PG and alcohol, you will not get a clear soap or meltability. You would also need a much high glycerin content for meltability which can then lead to issues like glycerin dew. You can also add FO/EO at the end with the understanding that it may cause clouding. This recipe is written as a basic introductory recipe to transparent and melt and pour soap. If you are not familiar with the processes of soap science, saponification, and lye safety, we do not recommend you make this recipe without first doing some research. The Ultimate Guide to Hot Process Soap coursebook is the perfect place to start.
My liquid pour looked white. I used methylated spirits that may be the issue. After 30 minutes of having poured, there developed a 5mm white frothy skin on the surface that I removed. The liquid under this skin was transparent. So I removed the white skin that I crushed into a ball and that still becomes frothy when I use it under water. You didn't supply a recipe so I used one from 101 soaping. I think there may have been toouch steric acid in the recipe. So next time, I'll reduce that and replace some of it with a tiny amount of castor. I'll keep you posted on results and I'll also include my recipe. Thanks for showing me this simple no fuss method.
Stearic acid and candellian wax are not the same compounds and although they may be used for comparable ingredients in other cosmetics, they cannot be interchanged for this recipe. The stearic acid reacts with the sodium hydroxide and saponifies to create sodium stearate, a hard, soluble soap. This allows us to create a transparent soap recipe with the addition of sovlents. You will need to use stearic or reformulate your recipe with other fats.
Thanks for this tutorial! Really beautiful outcome. Based on your experience do coconut oil and palm oil result in similar level of transparency in glycerin?
Palm oil is not going to produce the same level of transparency because it has a higher concentration of palmitic and stearic, as well as usually having some unsaponifiables. It will still produce a clear soap, but not at the level of a clean and processed stearic acid and coconut oil. -Eric @ UG2SOAP
What's the PH and how long do you wait to use this? I can see the fumes coming off this recipe. Everyone who does this should have good ventilation and wear a mask.
Thank you for the perfect result i got If i want to increase bubbles as far as i know can adding lauric or myristic acids could you advise what recipe can add or any other ideas .
The recipe as written will produce a very bubbly soap. If it is fresh soap, allow it to cure for 2-3 weeks and retest. And yes, lauric/myristic fatty acids will increase the lather.
hello, i have tried making it and it works! thank you very much. but after awhile, my soap have some little tiny bumps. my grandmother said that its paraffin coming out. im not sure what is that, does that mean i failed making the soap although it was ok at first? or? thanks in advance
This recipe does not contain paraffin, thus the complication you are facing is not paraffin. Can you please better describe what you mean by "bumps"? With a little more information, we might be able to better problem solve with you. -Eric @ UG2SOAP
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe 💖 I have a question: I want to make this base without coconut oil like in store. How can I do it? Reply me please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing the video .I have a doubt the sorbitol solution. You say add it to water and heat to get a clear solution .. is it sugar or sorbitol ?
Both will create a clear solution, as both sugar and sorbitol are soluble in water. As noted in the verbal instructions, sorbitol is used in this video. You can elect to use either option when creating this recipe! -Anthony @ UG2SOAP
I didn't have sorbitol or white sugar handy (only brown sugar). So I mixed 1 cup of water with 2 cups of powdered sugar (the very finely ground kind used for sugar icing) and it worked perfectly, except that the base came out opaque, not transparent, but it served my purposes already. which I myself added TD and colorant to work with the base.
The recipe as written should only take between 6-12 hours to completely solidify the first time, and it will be a very hard bar. If it did not harden, there was an error in the formulating process, perhaps a mismeasured ingredient or a scale that needs to be recalibrated.
You can obtain non-petroleum-based propylene glycol, often called "bio propylene glycol," which is plant-based or you can use other solvents like 1,3-propanediol, which is also plant-based. You can elect to use different concentrations of solvents as well. If you are looking for a "natural" transparent soap, you are going to have a more difficult time as clear/mp bases need solvents, which include PG, glycerin, sorbitol, alcohol, and more.
Hi again! So i did it today! My final result is a white bar. I used sugar instead of sorbitol...that could be my mistake Ashley? And can i use it for melt and pour ? Thanks a lot
Which solvent did you use? When you poured the bars, were they clear or liquid? Did you wait for saponification before starting the solvents? Even with sugar, they should still be transparent, just possibly a little more on the yellow side due to the heat. Have you tried remelting them down? And yes. You can use it as a MP base, although this specific recipe is intended to be an introductory recipe with high solvents for maximum clarity, so keep that in mind when it comes to your desired soap qualities and adapt the recipe as desired.
@@THEULTIMATEGUIDETOSOAP Thanks a lot...i used isopropyl 91% and i didn't wait for saponification ... I would do it again!thanks a lot for your time, video, and generosity in answering it.
@@gingerandtonic Oh no! You need saponification before adding the solvents. That could certainly be an explanation of the opaqueness. You can try melting it down and seeing if that helps with this batch. No matter what, so long as the product is skin-safe, you can use it as MP base or the soap per usual.
Hi, I would like to make a bigger batch, about 600 grams of oils. Should I just triple the recipe,or I need to make diferent calculations? Definitely will use the same oils.
Thanks awesome video , but I have a question that I hope you answer Most soap makers use castor oil in transparent soap , why didn't you use it ? will it affect the transparency or colour ?
That is like asking "Why didn't you use olive oil in your cold process soap recipe?" This recipe is formulated to be very simple with two main fat sources and I wanted to use higher solvents for clarity. The addition of castor oil is optional, just like any other oil or fat. If you want to reformulate with castor oil you are more than welcome to! Hope that helps.
Yes, this can be used as a melt and pour base. Keep in mind that this formula is created to provide a simple, ultra-transparent recipe, and will not provide the same skin-loving benefits that standard melt and pour recipes do. You may want to revise and reformulate for your specific needs.
Milk can be used to replace the water in the lye solution, but note that there will be oxidation (carmelization/Maillard reaction) that will cause discoloration and a possible odor. It will likely result in a very golden/yellow or even a brown-tinted bar and reduce the transparency. If these are not your top priorities, then this is certainly an option! If you are seeking to formulate a milk MP base, maybe consider a different recipe. Just my two cents. -Eric @ UG2SOAP
It absolutely can be used as a melt and pour base; however, it is designed to be an ultra-clear recipe and because of that, it has a high concentration of solvents which means it will take longer to solidify compared to your typical MP base. It is the perfect recipe and introduction to learning how to make HTHP bases and clear soap and can be used as the starting point for creating your own unique bases. And no, it does not need to cure for the standard 4-6 weeks, although some have reported the lather and mildness increase after several weeks.
My attempt yesterday didn’t turn out transparent, what could have gone wrong? Is it something like too much cooking as I maintained temperature on a heater.
Have you tried remelting the recipe? Did you follow the recipe as provided? Which solvents did you use? Did you allow the soap to completely dissolve in the solvents? Is your NaOH new? Things like undissolved soap crystals, weak solvents, and free fats can all create a more opaque appearance, but the recipe as written and provided will certainly create a beautiful, transparent soap.
Can I able to make this soap recipe without propylene glycol and grain alcohol because it is not available here Pls reply me mam If so pls give me recipe to do that
Yes, you can use a crockpot. Either way works well, as both mechanisms will heat the oils to the appropriate temperature. We find that using a microwave and microwave safe container is a faster way to heat the oils, and thus, provides a faster process.
Just like that 😳
You really have a good heart sharing this video!

Which solvent did you use? When you poured the bars, were they clear or liquid? Did you wait for saponification before starting the solvents? Even with sugar, they should still be transparent, just possibly a little more on the yellow side due to the heat. Have you tried remelting them down?
And yes. You can use it as a MP base, although this specific recipe is intended to be an introductory recipe with high solvents for maximum clarity, so keep that in mind when it comes to your desired soap qualities and adapt the recipe as desired.
@@THEULTIMATEGUIDETOSOAP Thanks a lot...i used isopropyl 91% and i didn't wait for saponification ...
I would do it again!thanks a lot for your time, video, and generosity in answering it.
@@gingerandtonic Oh no! You need saponification before adding the solvents. That could certainly be an explanation of the opaqueness. You can try melting it down and seeing if that helps with this batch. No matter what, so long as the product is skin-safe, you can use it as MP base or the soap per usual.
Isabel That happened to me once, I just took small amounts of it and heated it up in the microwave. It turned out clear
Hi, I would like to make a bigger batch, about 600 grams of oils. Should I just triple the recipe,or I need to make diferent calculations? Definitely will use the same oils.
Can you give the receipe?
Thanks awesome video , but I have a question that I hope you answer
Most soap makers use castor oil in transparent soap , why didn't you use it ? will it affect the transparency or colour ?
That is like asking "Why didn't you use olive oil in your cold process soap recipe?" This recipe is formulated to be very simple with two main fat sources and I wanted to use higher solvents for clarity. The addition of castor oil is optional, just like any other oil or fat. If you want to reformulate with castor oil you are more than welcome to! Hope that helps.
@@THEULTIMATEGUIDETOSOAP Thanks for your kind reply
hi my dear thanks f0r sharing i saw your website but cant find recipe please help me
The recipe is provided in the website link. If it does not load right away, please wait a few seconds. It is an image.
One question ist the amount of water for the NaOH ??thank 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Please see the recipe for more information about lye solutions and other recipe details!
can I use this soap base in melt and pour?
Yes, this can be used as a melt and pour base. Keep in mind that this formula is created to provide a simple, ultra-transparent recipe, and will not provide the same skin-loving benefits that standard melt and pour recipes do. You may want to revise and reformulate for your specific needs.
Hi. Can anybody tell wat she added after mixing alcohol onwards? Thank u
Propylene glycol
If you want to use milk lye solution is that okay?
Milk can be used to replace the water in the lye solution, but note that there will be oxidation (carmelization/Maillard reaction) that will cause discoloration and a possible odor. It will likely result in a very golden/yellow or even a brown-tinted bar and reduce the transparency. If these are not your top priorities, then this is certainly an option! If you are seeking to formulate a milk MP base, maybe consider a different recipe. Just my two cents.

this is Melt and pour base ?? do we need to leave it to cure for 4-6 weeks
It absolutely can be used as a melt and pour base; however, it is designed to be an ultra-clear recipe and because of that, it has a high concentration of solvents which means it will take longer to solidify compared to your typical MP base. It is the perfect recipe and introduction to learning how to make HTHP bases and clear soap and can be used as the starting point for creating your own unique bases. And no, it does not need to cure for the standard 4-6 weeks, although some have reported the lather and mildness increase after several weeks.
please add full recipe I’ve just watched this video!
Hi! The full recipe and additional tutorial details are provided in the link in the video details!
Best video for my project thank u for help
My attempt yesterday didn’t turn out transparent, what could have gone wrong? Is it something like too much cooking as I maintained temperature on a heater.
Have you tried remelting the recipe? Did you follow the recipe as provided? Which solvents did you use? Did you allow the soap to completely dissolve in the solvents? Is your NaOH new? Things like undissolved soap crystals, weak solvents, and free fats can all create a more opaque appearance, but the recipe as written and provided will certainly create a beautiful, transparent soap.
oh i cant find it???what can i do?it was good
Can I able to make this soap recipe without propylene glycol and grain alcohol because it is not available here

Can you share your ingridnt list with quantity plzzzzz
This information is included in the video details, as noted in the video title.
What did you add in this video @7th min...tq
Never mind thx for this video
Wow, thank you
Hi
Please put the amout of each ingredients that you used.
Please can liquid sorbitol be used. Thanks
Yes, as noted in the directions
can we use crockpot? whats better? thankyou
Yes, you can use a crockpot. Either way works well, as both mechanisms will heat the oils to the appropriate temperature. We find that using a microwave and microwave safe container is a faster way to heat the oils, and thus, provides a faster process.
You know I don't make up I started making cold process. For my intricate designs and landscapes but I must say ight have to get into hot process.
Once you go hot process, it is SO hard to go back lol.... Try it out and let us know what you think!
