The reason why the Ph is relatively high is that you dissolved the lye and used it right away. You should dissolve it and keep it in room temperature for at least 24 hours. This yields the soap to be very smooth and with low Ph level. As for the lather part, try adding some citric acid next time, thus enhances the production of lather. This info is passed on to me by a professional soap maker where I live in Damascus. So try it this way next time. Keep it up 👍
I did my first batch n it tested about 11 on the ph strip even after 7 wks. Does it mean the soap has failed n not safe to use? What can I do with the batch of failed soap?
I’m a 4th year naturopathy student. Keeping the temperature below 60 degrees is a good idea to keep the medicinal properties. Rosemary is very good for stimulating hair growth and soothing psoriasis sores. Good to see another Australian on RUclips showing the world how it’s done :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I make 11 variants of herbal soap using coconut oil and fresh extract of neem leaves, moringa leaves, kakawate leaves, guava leaves, akapulko leaves, aloe vera leaves, papaya leaves and fruits, kamias fruit juice (averrhoa balimbi), lemon juice, pineapple extract and turmeric extract with no essence added to preserve it purity.
I used to teach Medievel apothecary and I am excited to start soap making soon following your advise. The best time of day to pick herbs is first thing in the morning before the sun has had a chance to evaporate the aromatic oils. Pick after any dew has evaporated and before the sun gets hot. See if you get an even richer rosemary oil picking earlier. Just an idea to try.
Holy Moley! I happened upon this on Sunday afternoon, kind of drowsing, this woke me right up and my mind has not stopped running. I have never thought on making soap, I love to buy homemade soaps at fairs and farmer markets, but WOW. This is a truly knockout video, calm and in a true spirit of teaching. You have wetted my attention. From the middle of a large rosemary pasture, in the Great State of Texas, Yee Haw!
Whetted, not 'wetted.' She didn't get your attention 'wet' she sharpened it - like using a whetstone to sharpen a knife. And we don't 'whet' our attention; we 'whet' our appetite. Texans... do you have schools there?
Coconut oil is the lather maker in the main trinity of oils. Palm adds hardness and olive cleanses. Castor oil ups the lather and skin nourushment, as does butters (butters also add hardness). Hemp seed is very nourishing as well, maybe try using a bit of that since it's also a green color? Thanks for the video, I've been curious about what infusing our main batch oils would do and this gave lots of imput. That was a wild color morph, i probably would have freaked out if i tried it without your video! 😂
So now I have so many lovely moments in this video: 1. Writing the weight of the mugs at the bottom , game changer really how One never thinks of these simple things. 2. The point where you say this video raises more questions than it answers. 3. The point where you laugh over the fact that there is no lather 4.Elly it really is so heart warming to see how you are still so excited to cut a soap, I mean after 10 years of soaping and see what is there in it, and and also by the colour changes. Waiting to see the larther test of these after 2 months.
Hi. We are blessed with huge rosemary bushes all around our property. Ever since we bought our house I have wanted to make rosemary soap. I’m so excited to have found you.🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Rosemary has to be my fav , the smell is intoxicating in a good way , thank you for your valuable time and energy in the making of this informative video ❤❤❤
Elly I recently start making soaps like 5 months ago and I start using your calculations in measuring my oils and lye and my Soaps came out beautiful, but I try to be very creative I will use fresh fruits and blend them and others times i will use spices like clove powder and cinnamon powder and so on. Thank you elly I appreciate your videos.
I love the way you speak, you voice and how you show everutjibg clearly. My all point is to know how to calculate well the ration soap / oils thanks for shearing.
Thank you for this recipe.I plan on making my lard and coconut oil soap with rosemary and mint soon.Soaps with oils and no animal fat dries my skin so bad.Since using lard soap,no more dryness.I only use a tiny amount of coconut for added bubbles only.My 1st batch was 100% lard,and I still like it.
@@mariahmollel1258 there are a lot of book about "folk method" wihch is cold infusion (between 4 and 8 weeks) but you can also find tutorials to sterilize and clean the jars. you let the jar closed during weeks and you open it, the smell go in your entire house. But be very careful and read a lot on folk method before doing it
I've just got a heap of rosemary from a local crop swap and won't have enough time to infuse the rosemary in the oil until I come back home in a fortnight. I'll have to freeze it and hope it still works. Thanks for another wonderful and informative video Elly. You're a legend for sharing. Have a great day. (Oh and I've seen the rebatch of this soap, typical, I put the cart before the horse). X
Nice demonstration. The process of saponification can be fastened by heating the oil and the sodium hydroxide together. No foam means unreacted oil is still present in the soap.
Hi! Im spanish and using new and clean virgin olive oil is a sacrilege. Use the kitchen used oil, the Sodium hydroxide is going to kill the properties anyways. This way you can recycle the used oil, in Spain we make soap with the oil used for cooking, we dont throw it in the garbage (is also forbiden because a drop of oil contaminates thounsands litres of water). The main point is not to waste the oil. Also!! try to avoid metal spoons to move the mix, use wooden spoons :) Greetings.
Can you tell me if the smell of the cooked items in the spent oil comes through to the final soap? I understand my question comes many months after you posted. Gracious!
@@dianetm8557 Hi! You won’t notice any smell because sodium hydroxide neutralizes them. You can add any essence if you want.

We also use it for kitchen counter cleaning, floors, tiles… This soap is a good bug repellent so you can dissolve a teaspoon in a liter of water and spray it on the plants. 🤍 its name is ‘jabón de castilla’.
Thank you for the video. I was so glad to learn how to infuse fresh leaves . For years I have infused much of my olive oil with dried chamomile and then I keep a couple of bottles of infused comfrey olive oil. I have always use the dried leaves and just let it sit in the olive oil for a few months and then strain it. Comfrey makes an absolutely gorgeous green for marbling soaps with, I have a large rosemary plant myself and I’m going to try your method. I really appreciate your recipes in your teaching technique. They always work well for me. I have been making soap for well over 40 years and I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you. Donna in NW Florida. By the way, just for preference, I only infused extra-virgin olive oil. Then I use that oil in a normal recipe with no other changes calculated because of the infusion , the soaps always turned out beautifully. I didn’t realize I was supposed to do something different.
Hi Donna, you can do it many ways. I just wanted to infuse all of my oil with the rosemary, but definitely easier to infuse just one oil. Just sharing my fun experiments :) Thanks so much for your wonderful words, I appreciate your comment very much. Thanks also for the comfrey tip, I have a lot of comfrey in my garden! You probably can see it in the video. We use it as a weed barrier around the vegie gardens. Thanks again, Elly
Elly, these are gorgeous! That green it turned out is just lovely. I love the idea of using the sticks of the rosemary for BBQing...great idea. Love your videos: you are so much fun!
This video inspires me to make pandan leaves soap, because rosemary plant is rare here in Indonesia, but maybe it might get the same color transform effect. Thanx Ellie for the video

Good afternoon Elly and fellow you-tubers!! Excellent soap!! I infuse rosemary, sage and laurel from my garden to make my shampoo bars with olive oil, coconut and castor oil. Never mind dear Elly decorating soaps as long as they are such high quality products as yours using such pure ingredients. Havea nice day everyone!!
Hi Elly and thanks for your very helpful videos. Just wanted to pass on a tip for your cleanup video from a few years ago. Caustic waste water was a problem for me too until I started pouring some household cleaning vinegar into the wash water. It doesn't take much and neutralizes the caustic water instantly with no fumes. Salts are the main byproduct. It's cheap, easy and no mess.
Thanks so much for sharing Elly. My rosemary bush is currently taller than me so I'm excited to use more of my rosemary in my next rosemary soap and give the bush a prune at the same time! I am fascinated by soaps that colour morph like this one, it never gets old watching an oil change when the lye hits it, and then watching soaps change again as they cure. Himalayan rhubarb is also a great botanical for colour morphing, although it does fade after it's cured if it's exposed to sunlight for too long. Wondering if the green will hold its colour in the coming months, I'll have to experiment and see how it goes!
Very inspiring and I love the natural color it turned out. Olive oil is a great ingredient to soften the skin. However, if you would like to have more bubble, you may need to balance with coco/ricin/palm oil.
Hi Elly. I’ve never seen a rosemary plant that big. Didn’t know it could get that big. Where I live I’ve only seen it in pots as patio plants. I have a small pot and hope it will be enough. I’ve never seen another soap video as good as yours. Many people sharing on You Tube won’t even put in recipe links. That goes for food too. I like the way you explain things so thoroughly. Other You Tubers could sure learn a lot from you about how to make a video that people actually want to watch. I’m camping as I write this but eager to try the soap when I’m home. Thanks as always. Cathy
Cathy if you can find it the variety GORIZIA ROSEMARY is a wonderful upright type of rosemary. It can grow 5 feet tall in good conditions. Hope this helps!
I did it! I made it and had so much fun. Watching the colour morph in person was wild… right up there with Himalayan rhubarb infused oils. Thanks again so much for this inspiring video, Elly.
Thanks Ellie been waiting it to be posted. Ive used rosemary in shampoo and hair oil no colour as different process. But now I must try this Rosemary in soap using my recipe when i get back to Aus. I love the colour change that occurs with ingredients from nature. When you cut it it looked like a lovely iced sponge cake. For newbies it may be easier to just use olive oil for the infusion then after strained and calculated amount, then add what other oils or butters your recipe calls for, to give you the total oil quantity you need. This is how i do my infusions for soap.
I’m planning on making a horsetail/nettle/rosemary shampoo bar. I have the oil infused (from a couple months ago when the horsetail was first coming up). I just gave it the sniff test and it doesn’t smell rancid or anything so here’s to hoping! Anyway, you’ve inspired me to actually do it now. I hope it turns out as lovely as yours did.
It might be fine as soap, but definitely don't ingest any of it! Botulism is a concern with fresh herb infusions in oil. It thrives in anaerobic environments and you can't taste or see it. Be very careful and do some more research I'd say. I don't think I'd risk it.
20:50 Thanks Elly ,worth the wait. Now I understand why I was short in my olive oil. I didn’t allow for the loss with the leaves. Going to make another batch soon.
I used this technique for the COLOR alone! I ended up making a pure ALOE soap with it --- THE COLOR IS PHENOMENAL!! It's the most lovely olivy-sagey-pale green .. it's perfect!
I always look forward to watching your calm and hands on while making soap enjoyed watching your rosemary soap and will use coconut and caster oil in the mix Thanks again.
Rosemary is one of my all-time favorite herbs with so many benefits and uses so I love this video, I would love to create this soap but with some coconut oil included. I'm sure these bars smell amazing. Thankyou for sharing your method
Dry out all your herbs in a dehydrator, this way you don't have to worry about spoilage. Also, guickly grind your herbs into very small pieces and keep it in the soap🙏🏻
@@erdbeerzwiebel3404no, they act as natural exfoliators instead-but ofc it would have to be in really tiny pieces, think like coarse black pepper or sesame seeds in size tops
Hi Elly- I have made lots of infused oils (as an herbalist in training) :) I was taught that to keep the medicinal properties of any herb infused oil to keep the temperature below 200 degrees.
I love this idea for a 100% natural soap using rosemary from the garden. I started soap making during lockdown #2 (Melbournian). I don't worry about using palm oil because, as I've discovered, it's not actually easy to buy it here unless it is from an ethically sustainable source. You have me thinking that I might try this technique in Summer, when my lavender is in full bloom.
Use vinegar to netrize. The castic soda. With a little washing up liquid in the water when you clean up As for the lather. In your soap leave it to cure for the complete 6 weeks before using If you ever try making hot process soap you can use the soap straight away as the castic soda. Isn't not longer present in the soap Anyway love the lovely green in your soap thanks for a great video ❤
Aww Elly, so great to see you back at soap again!!! Love the rosemary soap and wondering now after curing if you were able to achieve lather...i like to use castor oil to help with bubbly lather..love your herb garden, would enjoy more herbal recipes...miss you!! Gin❤
Really loved it and loved the way I really loved the part of calculation and the soap was looking great I have an idea of infusing dried rosemary as using sun method so this video was really helpful and greatful ❤️🥰iam happy and always best soap teacher 💯lots of love and respect and inspiration madam. Love from India ❤️
I took a pic of my rosemary plant and RUclips brought me here. 😂 I also found a couple bars in a box after I moved of some rosemary soap i made over 20 years ago. I can’t wait to try and make it again.
Hello Elly . I am just starting melt and pour soaps but love to watch how you work. For me this recipe looks like the Aleppo soap .It has lots of olive oil and rosemary .When you buy it in the middle east it doesnot lather eiher .But it is a great soap .I watch you from Brittany France .🌺
@@BaumgartBathCo lol between their baths and the rosemary I agree, these dogs of mine are mostly not offensive! Now I need to do some research about rosemary and making a soap for my dog’s bath. I had to stop taking them to groomers because so much of the product they use is heavily perfumed. I was even taking my own shampoo to the groomer. It dawned on me that is so silly to pay a groomer and provide product and still get perfumed pets. Covid forced my hand when groomers were forced to close in California, and I learned to do the grooming myself. Im no pro but I can get the job done. :)
Herbalist here, you did perfect, never cook the herbs above 96 or so. Also it gets the moisture out if you use this method, so you could store it but only for like 3 months or so after straining. and that's not about moisture, that's about cooking the oil which changes how the oil lasts. last note, don't squeeze with fresh plant matter( it keep moisture in the plants not squeezed out the last bit) let it drip out!!!
I just grate my soap into a pan with water in, heat it up and pour it into a pump container. Depends on how hard the soap is to the quantity of soap to water. My hard soaps I have to use about 1:4 ratio
What a beautiful soap. Is amazing the color change. Awasome colors, i imagine smells very nice. I will definily make it. I have in the freezer Rosemary and chamomille water infusión. They smell really nice. I will be making soap with them. Thank you for sharing Elly.
Wow, Rosemary soap looked great. Im planning myself to make soap first time. Please guide on how to make homegrown Alovera soap using soap base. Looking forward to some helpful tips and guidance. Thanks
I made plantain leaf balm using avocado oil, beeswax and coconut oil, and got a similar green to your rosemary soap. I might try to make soap with the plantain infused avocado oil.
First off HUGE KUDOS to your sisters!!! Amazing selection!! Also for me personally I take “ tolerate it” as a song to a parent (a dad for me) Like a man that was supposed to be there for you love you all the time be the wise one, yet now because of your life choices or love choices the love is not celebrated it’s tolerated. When you can’t really risk leaving the family and leave it in ruins or just sit and listen, notice everything they do and don’t do… At the end, depending on who you are as a person you either move on or just tolerate it. That’s my personal view of the song
The colour change is so cool!! Interesting about the ph, maybe the oil left behind in the rosemary leaves wasn't evenly distributed between the palm and olive, so the % remaining wasn't accurate for the soap calc? Thank you for the herbal soap inspiration I'm inspired!
This non soap maker enjoyed this. I love rosemary too but I'm moving house next week, so tomorrow I will be planting out my potted rosemary bush into a small birds and bees garden I developed after the epic 2019 - 2020 bushfires in eastern Australia. So many creatures lost habitat that I had some big logs left on the non-existent footpath and front garden after a large tree was cut down and I add plants to the area around the logs which will eventually compost away long after I've left this mortal coil. The plants will remain, without too much human input I hope. I've taken a cutting for my next garden, which is doing well. The thing about rosemary is it will flower profusely and it is as tough as old boots, so perfect for this little bit of small creature refuge. I buy soap from the health food store normally and have noticed the rose soap I'm currently using has left my skin on my hands a bit rough this winter. I reckon I need to seek out some of that olive oil soap from Provence. Fortunately there's a little French shop which sells it nearby. It's the first time I've had this problem so I reckon a change in suppliers has changed access to the good soap of the past. I suspect they might be going for smell rather than the overall good quality of the soap and it hasn't turned out well, for my hands at least. So that is on my post move "to do" list. As always Elly I enjoy your "mad scientist" soap making and always wish I lived near you so I could annoy you and appreciate your soap up close and personal. Your family and friends are lucky folk and I bet they really love it when you stock up on a new soap. I hope it hardens up, but I'm not sure about the lack of lather. Just a suggestion. Rosemary is supposed to be wonderful for thinning elderly hair and mild alopecia, so there's that 😅
I would love to do this! I am going to start with melt and pour and go to cold process next year. As I am currently pregnant, have a young child and do not want to mess with lye. Doing the melt and pour will be a good intro step if it’s something I want to advance in or find a wholesaler to do custom bars for my business. Our son wants to help with mt business and melt and pour is something he can do now. When he gets older he could help with making cp.
This was an amazing video! I used rosemary extract instead of infused oil and did the same thing which surprised me. Red/brownish when I put into the mold. After that it got green and yellowish inside like yours. After curing, the green was not as bright green anymore and inside was more of purplish and dark redish color. I think this is the fun part of soap making!
I really don’t mind a low lather soap. I made a soap with some cocoa butter and lanolin that I wanted to use up. It has the lowest lather but still leave my skin clean and so so soft.

You are so kind for sharing your wonderful recipes .I am into soap only since last month and have bought everything .👏
Good afternoon Elly and fellow you-tubers!! Excellent soap!! I infuse rosemary, sage and laurel from my garden to make my shampoo bars with olive oil, coconut and castor oil. Never mind dear Elly decorating soaps as long as they are such high quality products as yours using such pure ingredients. Havea nice day everyone!!
Thanks so much, you're very kind :)
Did the infuses oil smell of rosemary?
Hi Elly and thanks for your very helpful videos. Just wanted to pass on a tip for your cleanup video from a few years ago. Caustic waste water was a problem for me too until I started pouring some household cleaning vinegar into the wash water. It doesn't take much and neutralizes the caustic water instantly with no fumes. Salts are the main byproduct. It's cheap, easy and no mess.
What a great method !!! Thank you so much…easy to follow for those how have made soap before and understand % of hard fat needed
Thanks so much for sharing Elly. My rosemary bush is currently taller than me so I'm excited to use more of my rosemary in my next rosemary soap and give the bush a prune at the same time! I am fascinated by soaps that colour morph like this one, it never gets old watching an oil change when the lye hits it, and then watching soaps change again as they cure. Himalayan rhubarb is also a great botanical for colour morphing, although it does fade after it's cured if it's exposed to sunlight for too long. Wondering if the green will hold its colour in the coming months, I'll have to experiment and see how it goes!
Thanks for your reflections.. I think this colour might fade a bit. We'll see...
Very inspiring and I love the natural color it turned out. Olive oil is a great ingredient to soften the skin. However, if you would like to have more bubble, you may need to balance with coco/ricin/palm oil.
I love this . Thank you for opening up my mind to trying something so valuable.
that's great! Have fun. :)
Hi Elly.
I’ve never seen a rosemary plant that big. Didn’t know it could get that big. Where I live I’ve only seen it in pots as patio plants. I have a small pot and hope it will be enough. I’ve never seen another soap video as good as yours. Many people sharing on You Tube won’t even put in recipe links. That goes for food too. I like the way you explain things so thoroughly. Other You Tubers could sure learn a lot from you about how to make a video that people actually want to watch. I’m camping as I write this but eager to try the soap when I’m home. Thanks as always.
Cathy
Thanks so much Cathy, I appreciate your comment immensely! This rosemary plant was given to me by a neighbour. It's a very tall variety!
Cathy if you can find it the variety GORIZIA ROSEMARY is a wonderful upright type of rosemary. It can grow 5 feet tall in good conditions. Hope this helps!
? Does these soaps stop up plumbing being olive, palm, tallow, coconut oil? Just wondering.
I did it! I made it and had so much fun. Watching the colour morph in person was wild… right up there with Himalayan rhubarb infused oils. Thanks again so much for this inspiring video, Elly.
That's wonderful @pinkiedee! Well done.
Will the infuses oil smell of rosemary?
@@mariahmollel1258 Nope. That didn’t make it through the saponification process.
Thanks Ellie been waiting it to be posted. Ive used rosemary in shampoo and hair oil no colour as different process. But now I must try this Rosemary in soap using my recipe when i get back to Aus. I love the colour change that occurs with ingredients from nature.
When you cut it it looked like a lovely iced sponge cake. For newbies it may be easier to just use olive oil for the infusion then after strained and calculated amount, then add what other oils or butters your recipe calls for, to give you the total oil quantity you need. This is how i do my infusions for soap.
Exactly. I go over those options in the blog post :)
I’m planning on making a horsetail/nettle/rosemary shampoo bar. I have the oil infused (from a couple months ago when the horsetail was first coming up). I just gave it the sniff test and it doesn’t smell rancid or anything so here’s to hoping! Anyway, you’ve inspired me to actually do it now. I hope it turns out as lovely as yours did.
It might be fine as soap, but definitely don't ingest any of it! Botulism is a concern with fresh herb infusions in oil. It thrives in anaerobic environments and you can't taste or see it. Be very careful and do some more research I'd say. I don't think I'd risk it.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Oh my!!
I love foraging horsetail.
wound botulism is also a threat though@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking
20:50 Thanks Elly ,worth the wait. Now I understand why I was short in my olive oil. I didn’t allow for the loss with the leaves. Going to make another batch soon.
Ah yes. Best to calculate the recipe after the straining :)
That color morphing was absolutely fascinating!
It sure was. I've got some amazing colour morphs in some of my videos :)
I used this technique for the COLOR alone! I ended up making a pure ALOE soap with it --- THE COLOR IS PHENOMENAL!! It's the most lovely olivy-sagey-pale green .. it's perfect!
Fantastic! The colour is great.
I love the smell rosemary, can't wait to make this. Thank you!👍🙏❤️🕊️
You are so welcome
Thankyou for sharing, it is fantastic soap to make for me as a beginner ❤
Don't worry about the decoration, your soaps are high quality. They look lovely.
Thank you so much 🙂
Thanks! you have helped me so much
You're welcome! Thank you.
I always look forward to watching your calm and hands on while making soap enjoyed watching your rosemary soap and will use coconut and caster oil in the mix Thanks again.
That's wonderful! Thank you :)
Rosemary is one of my all-time favorite herbs with so many benefits and uses so I love this video, I would love to create this soap but with some coconut oil included. I'm sure these bars smell amazing. Thankyou for sharing your method
Will the infuses oil smell of rosemary?
Dry out all your herbs in a dehydrator, this way you don't have to worry about spoilage. Also, guickly grind your herbs into very small pieces and keep it in the soap🙏🏻
Thanks for the tips!
The dehydrator does kill alot of the terpenes and pieces in the soap seems like it would be annoying when you're in a process of cleaning yourself.
@@erdbeerzwiebel3404no, they act as natural exfoliators instead-but ofc it would have to be in really tiny pieces, think like coarse black pepper or sesame seeds in size tops
will the heat from saponification not denature the terpenes anyway?
Your soap looks great! You’ve inspired me to use more of my fresh herbs in my soaps.
Thank you so much! That is lovely, Kim. :)
Very pretty soap. in a few weeks will be just right, thank you Elly
Thank you! :)
Some great tips Elly, love the colour changes wow.. thank you so much
The colour is stunning! 🤍
Hi Elly- I have made lots of infused oils (as an herbalist in training) :) I was taught that to keep the medicinal properties of any herb infused oil to keep the temperature below 200 degrees.
Thanks for the info!
Farenheit I suppose? So 93 Celsius? That would be quite high still though?
من فضلك تسخين الزيوت لاستخراج زيوت الاعشاب الطبيه ماهي الدرجه المئوية المطلوبه حتى لا احرق الزيت وتستفيد من الاعشاب المنوعه فيه
سؤال الاعشاب الطازجه احسن في النقع ام الاعشاب الجافه وشكرا
I love this idea for a 100% natural soap using rosemary from the garden. I started soap making during lockdown #2 (Melbournian). I don't worry about using palm oil because, as I've discovered, it's not actually easy to buy it here unless it is from an ethically sustainable source. You have me thinking that I might try this technique in Summer, when my lavender is in full bloom.
Use vinegar to netrize. The castic soda. With a little washing up liquid in the water when you clean up
As for the lather. In your soap leave it to cure for the complete 6 weeks before using
If you ever try making hot process soap you can use the soap straight away as the castic soda. Isn't not longer present in the soap
Anyway love the lovely green in your soap thanks for a great video ❤
Aww Elly, so great to see you back at soap again!!! Love the rosemary soap and wondering now after curing if you were able to achieve lather...i like to use castor oil to help with bubbly lather..love your herb garden, would enjoy more herbal recipes...miss you!! Gin❤
Wow ! Thanks Elly. ❤ I can't wait to try this soap recipe you shared. I can imagine the beautiful fragrance of that rosemary . Beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Elly. I just love your soap recipes. Will be making my own soon.
Really loved it and loved the way I really loved the part of calculation and the soap was looking great I have an idea of infusing dried rosemary as using sun method so this video was really helpful and greatful ❤️🥰iam happy and always best soap teacher 💯lots of love and respect and inspiration madam. Love from India ❤️
Oh thank you so much Kajol! I love the sun infusion method too. I did that with dried calendula once and it was a gorgeous soap. Have fun!
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking thank you madam ❤️
I took a pic of my rosemary plant and RUclips brought me here. 😂 I also found a couple bars in a box after I moved of some rosemary soap i made over 20 years ago. I can’t wait to try and make it again.
was not expecting that colour!!! my gosh its gorgeous..;.
Thank you so much❤!
Can you show us how to make Rosemary shampoo bars?
That will be a very gentle bar!! Love the colour too. 💞
Hello Elly . I am just starting melt and pour soaps but love to watch how you work. For me this recipe looks like the Aleppo soap .It has lots of olive oil and rosemary .When you buy it in the middle east it doesnot lather eiher .But it is a great soap .I watch you from Brittany France .🌺
Thank you, I'd love to try making Aleppo soap one day, but the laurel oil is hard to get and very expensive here. Glad you enjoyed this.
I have a hillside planted in rosemary. My little dogs run through it sometimes, they smell so good! This is a lovely process video!
Those are dogs I would mind sniffing 😂
@@BaumgartBathCo lol between their baths and the rosemary I agree, these dogs of mine are mostly not offensive! Now I need to do some research about rosemary and making a soap for my dog’s bath. I had to stop taking them to groomers because so much of the product they use is heavily perfumed. I was even taking my own shampoo to the groomer. It dawned on me that is so silly to pay a groomer and provide product and still get perfumed pets. Covid forced my hand when groomers were forced to close in California, and I learned to do the grooming myself. Im no pro but I can get the job done. :)
@@michellewelch6013 Ooooo! Look up neem oil for fur babies soap! And good luck 🙂
@@BaumgartBathCo thank you!
OMG that is so funny. I wish my cat would rub on the rosemary! He does smell nice though, often smells of straw 😄
Herbalist here, you did perfect, never cook the herbs above 96 or so. Also it gets the moisture out if you use this method, so you could store it but only for like 3 months or so after straining. and that's not about moisture, that's about cooking the oil which changes how the oil lasts. last note, don't squeeze with fresh plant matter( it keep moisture in the plants not squeezed out the last bit) let it drip out!!!
Great advice, thank you!
Don’t cook herbs above 96? Does that count for making tea with them?😊
Would love to see a liquid soap done with this
Oh, genius! Great suggestion, thank you. I REALLY want to do an aloe liquid soap soon....
I just grate my soap into a pan with water in, heat it up and pour it into a pump container. Depends on how hard the soap is to the quantity of soap to water. My hard soaps I have to use about 1:4 ratio
@@Eternal_Hope_Q For liquid soap used caustic potash(Potassium hydroxide) instead sodium hydroxide
liquid brain
Potassium Hydroxide is too strong for the skin. Not recommended for those who have sensitive skin.
What a beautiful soap. Is amazing the color change. Awasome colors, i imagine smells very nice. I will definily make it. I have in the freezer Rosemary and chamomille water infusión. They smell really nice. I will be making soap with them. Thank you for sharing Elly.
Sounds great, have fun!
Lovely, inspirational vlog. Such a modest person :a rarity nowadays. Thank you
Thank you for your lovely comment. I appreciate it a lot :)
This is lovely you are smart. I love the way you do all measurements.
I can almost smell the rosemary! You are delightful to listen to, also.😊
🤗
Love love love the color! What a color morph!!!
Wow, Rosemary soap looked great. Im planning myself to make soap first time. Please guide on how to make homegrown Alovera soap using soap base. Looking forward to some helpful tips and guidance. Thanks
Hello friend 👋 such of a super idea 👌,rosemary infused homemade soap ❤.Thanks for sharing the process with us ,best wishes Simon and Beth ❤🙋
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. I appreciate it :)
Beautiful Soap !
I made plantain leaf balm using avocado oil, beeswax and coconut oil, and got a similar green to your rosemary soap. I might try to make soap with the plantain infused avocado oil.
Another lovely video Elly. Thank you 😊
Thank you! 😊
Using the stems is such a great idea
First off HUGE KUDOS to your sisters!!! Amazing selection!!
Also for me personally I take “ tolerate it” as a song to a parent (a dad for me) Like a man that was supposed to be there for you love you all the time be the wise one, yet now because of your life choices or love choices the love is not celebrated it’s tolerated.
When you can’t really risk leaving the family and leave it in ruins or just sit and listen, notice everything they do and don’t do…
At the end, depending on who you are as a person you either move on or just tolerate it.
That’s my personal view of the song
Love this! Thank you my love! Love knowing how to infuse oils!
You're very much welcome! I'm glad to help. :)
I love rosemary but was having trouble with it being too prolific.
I love the use of soap!
I would like to try making it.
Go for it!
I can only imagine how nice your house smelled while brewing the oils and herbs.
The colour change is so cool!! Interesting about the ph, maybe the oil left behind in the rosemary leaves wasn't evenly distributed between the palm and olive, so the % remaining wasn't accurate for the soap calc? Thank you for the herbal soap inspiration I'm inspired!
I stirred it VERY thoroughly. But great point.
Will the infuses oil smell of rosemary?
I adore your soap videos, my rosemary plant is such a baby right now but I hope it grows healthy so I can try this method. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome. I hope that for you too!
what a beautiful color! thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! :)
Wow I love your Rosemary garden ❤
No judgment at all! We have to support the ethical palm oil producers too! Beautiful soap! Thanks!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. :)
This non soap maker enjoyed this. I love rosemary too but I'm moving house next week, so tomorrow I will be planting out my potted rosemary bush into a small birds and bees garden I developed after the epic 2019 - 2020 bushfires in eastern Australia. So many creatures lost habitat that I had some big logs left on the non-existent footpath and front garden after a large tree was cut down and I add plants to the area around the logs which will eventually compost away long after I've left this mortal coil. The plants will remain, without too much human input I hope. I've taken a cutting for my next garden, which is doing well. The thing about rosemary is it will flower profusely and it is as tough as old boots, so perfect for this little bit of small creature refuge.
I buy soap from the health food store normally and have noticed the rose soap I'm currently using has left my skin on my hands a bit rough this winter. I reckon I need to seek out some of that olive oil soap from Provence. Fortunately there's a little French shop which sells it nearby. It's the first time I've had this problem so I reckon a change in suppliers has changed access to the good soap of the past. I suspect they might be going for smell rather than the overall good quality of the soap and it hasn't turned out well, for my hands at least. So that is on my post move "to do" list.
As always Elly I enjoy your "mad scientist" soap making and always wish I lived near you so I could annoy you and appreciate your soap up close and personal. Your family and friends are lucky folk and I bet they really love it when you stock up on a new soap. I hope it hardens up, but I'm not sure about the lack of lather. Just a suggestion. Rosemary is supposed to be wonderful for thinning elderly hair and mild alopecia, so there's that 😅
Aww thanks Tosca! I wish we were close by too xx
Hey my wait is over❤ love to watch your videos.. loads of love from India ❤
Yay! Thank you!
I love rosemary so much,and I would love to try this one and make soap for me and my family. It is quite inspiring, ❤❤ so much
Thank you so much Ellie. I have many rosemary bushes just waiting for this recipe ❤
Blessings from South Africa
Oh that's great. Thank you. Have fun with your rosemary soap!
I would love to do this!
I am going to start with melt and pour and go to cold process next year.
As I am currently pregnant, have a young child and do not want to mess with lye.
Doing the melt and pour will be a good intro step if it’s something I want to advance in or find a wholesaler to do custom bars for my business.
Our son wants to help with mt business and melt and pour is something he can do now. When he gets older he could help with making cp.
This was an amazing video!
I used rosemary extract instead of infused oil and did the same thing which surprised me.
Red/brownish when I put into the mold. After that it got green and yellowish inside like yours. After curing, the green was not as bright green anymore and inside was more of purplish and dark redish color.
I think this is the fun part of soap making!
I really don’t mind a low lather soap. I made a soap with some cocoa butter and lanolin that I wanted to use up. It has the lowest lather but still leave my skin clean and so so soft.
Love this idea, I have lavander and rosemary in my garden 😊
Wonderful!
Awesome soap, I love Rosemary! Thank you Ellie!
You are so welcome!
How much rosemary was that? About 3 -4 cups?
I don’t see the amount in your blog post.
Thx!
Great video - so interesting to see the colour changes. 😊
I didn't measure it. Half filled my pot :)
Thank you for sharing, Elly!!!💖
You're welcome Vivian!
The green colour is so pretty 😮
Very nice Ellys. Good presentation.
