    The video only shows how a basic/simple soap is made. Instead of using water, I use Aloe Vera gel. All other ingredients you may like can be added to the recipe. The soap will be ready to be used after 3 to 4 weeks of curing. For those asking the quantity of ingredients used, here it is:
    76g - Sodium Hydroxide
    185g - Aloe Vera gel
    450g - deodorized coconut oil
    Thank you very much for watching.

      @@poke6983 When you cut the aloe vera leaf, the latex will just drip on its own and when you prepare and wash the gel, the remaining latex will just go off with the water. You can measure the iced aloe vera gel by weighing.

    So I made this soap 1 week ago. It was my first soap ever. This was the best and easiest recipe I found. I just added a little lavender sent, purple mica colorant, and dried lavender leaves on top. It looks beautiful! I can’t wait to use it. Love your videos! I’ve subscribed!

    Please wear eye protection and gloves when making soap! Sodium hydroxide is caustic and can cause severe burns, even blindness if it gets into your eye. Also, wooden spoons are not recommended since the lye will cause the wood to splinter, adding wood splinters into your soap. Best to use silicone or stainless mixing utensils - no other metals are safe with lye.

The scent has faded so I need to work on that but it lathered so beautifully. Love all the bubbles and now I can't stop making soap. Thank you for this tutorial and recipe!

    Hi thanks for the instructions on making aloe vera soap, I have a huge aloe plant, and was wondering what to do with it.

    Great video, make it look so simple. I have heard that using just Coconut Oil can dry the skin, does the Aloe compensate for this or can you add Olive Oil to prevent any issues? Would you then also use the same quantity of Aloe?

    • @TheAloeVeraGarden
      @TheAloeVeraGarden  3 года назад +2

      It really depends on your skin type. Coconut oil is the best cleansing oil. The more coconut oil in your soap, the more cleansing power the soap has.

    Does it not dry out the skin?

    • @TheAloeVeraGarden
      @TheAloeVeraGarden  2 года назад

      If you change the oil, you will have to change the amount of sodium hydroxide. Aloe vera soap made of coconut oil does not dry your skin, it's so much different when you use just plain water.

    Without going out and buying a blender to make this soap, what is your suggestion to pulp the Aloe Vera, or would a pure Aloe Vera liquid from a grocery store be acceptable?
    Technically, Castile soap is made with 100% Olive Oil, but this looks like a nice soap. On my to try list once I work out the pulping/juicing side of things. :)

    • @TheAloeVeraGarden
      @TheAloeVeraGarden  3 года назад +2

      Essential oils are soap additives, you can add it when the mixture starts to thicken. This is a very small batch, so just a little essential oil will do. If you're already using essential oils, you would know how much to add. It's a personal preference. Just don't use to much as some essential oils can irritate the skin if used too much.

    Thank you for your lovely video. I have a question... do you think that the aloe Vera gel makes the soap last longer in the shower? Or does the soap get used up at the same rate as soaps without the gel?

    • @TheAloeVeraGarden
      @TheAloeVeraGarden  4 года назад +1

      Based on my experience, homemade soaps last longer in shower compared with commercial soaps which melts so easily.

    • @VanzHumbleHome
      @VanzHumbleHome 3 года назад

      Giving your soap enough time to cure/dry out means it will last longer when you go to use it.

    • @charlesward8632
      @charlesward8632 3 года назад

      Aloe vera gel does not make it last longer than making soap without the gel. Aloe vera just adds a silkiness to the bar and nice bubbles and maybe some skin soothing properties.

    I have been looking for an aloe soap recipe that uses the leaves since they grow like crazy outside. I i will try this method. I like to make my lye and water the day before I soap, I might just put enough to dissolve the lye then add the aloe. If I do that Do I still need to freeze the aloe?

    • @TheAloeVeraGarden
      @TheAloeVeraGarden  3 года назад +2

      If you dissolve the lye with water first then Aloe vera, it might get soo much dilluted and the soap is watery. Instead, you can freeze your aloe vera gel then mix it with sodium hydroxide and let it stay until the next day to make soap.

    • @VanzHumbleHome
      @VanzHumbleHome 3 года назад

      What about subtracting the amount at water you use to dissolve your lye from the aloe you are planning on use if so the amount of aloe/water will remain the same?
