New to soap making? This is important!
Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide (lyes) used in soap making, in granular or flake form or in solution with water/other liquids, as well as raw soap batter, are highly corrosive and require careful and attentive handling and the proper use of personal protective equipment.

I will! Since I'm a packing crazy lady at the moment I'll be almost a lady of leisure by comparison by next week 👍🏻📦 😅
How was the scent difference between the two?
Where do you buy the sodium hydroxide solution? Do you need to buy it online or certain shops?

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 👍
Thanks for the tips 🎉 would love to learn more. Thanks
It's very interesting, but what about the temp between lye and oils?
I'm new as a soap maker 🥹
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 :)
Thanks, yes that's ideal but soap recipes get a lot hotter than that through saponification unfortunately, so overheating is almost unavoidable.
The real question I have is how old is that rosemary plant? I've never seen one that big. It's as large as you.
Really? Libraries and gardens all over Australia have rosemary bushes this big. 😯
I'm I'm canada, we get winter so super stunted growth. After 12 months my rosemary plant isn't larger then 12"
@@InFeCtEdSoApYwow. Yeah here in Australia we use them as hedges they get so big.
@@InFeCtEdSoApY create a warmer micro climate, protect the plant from cold air flowing by.
There's a rosemary bush at my mom's house that's like 5 times bigger than that one 🤣
Using the rosemary sticks as BBQ lamb skewers is my absolute favourite way to not waste them. Beautiful video, nice one!
Chicken is delicious as well on the rosemary skewers.
@lincroyableprocrastinateur5414 how do you actually make the branch go into the meat?
👍
@@annepatteet7689 I'd poke through the meat with a metal skewer, take it out and put the rosemary stick in instead❤
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.
Thanks, that's great. I think my rosemary is very strong any time of the day! Great advice for more delicate herbs though.

Will the infuses oil smell of rosemary?
That sounds like such an interesting subject!!!
Can you show us how to make Rosemary shampoo bars?
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

Potassium Hydroxide is too strong for the skin. Not recommended for those who have sensitive skin.
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!
Thank you so much!
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! 😂
PH until 8 is ok especially if it is recently done. Normally we should wait at least 20 days before using a soap.
Hey Elle, so I recently I made an aloe and moringa (infused in coconut oil) and the soap had a nice light green natural hue. Great 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.
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.
Joya, thank you! I'm getting better at learning what to include and what to leave out. THANK YOU for that amazing feedback. It helps me so much 💗
You most welcome, the amazing video motivated me to write this feedback
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
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.
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
Has anyone pulsed their rosemary in a blender before adding to the crockpot?
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!
Thank you Gwendolyn, that's so nice! I had heaps of fun with this one.
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.
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
URGENT!! SOS
Hey Ellie.. I made a batch of 100% coconut oil soap (in loaf mould). An hour after putting the batter in the mould, the soap solidified
BUT the middle portion of the top part sunk a bit ...
Is there any solution or a way to prevent this
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
That sounds so nice. Have fun!
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. Here we use this kind of soaps to wash delicate clothing and cotton clothes in general. 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’.
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.
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?😊
Thankyou for sharing, it is fantastic soap to make for me as a beginner ❤
Hi Elly thank you for the great videos. I'm new to soap making.
When you say when adding fresh herbs we must use it quickly. Do you mean the soap needs to be used quickly or the oil that's been infused needs to be used quickly or both? Sorry for the dumb question, I'm still very new.
Good question, the oil needs to be used quickly. It can't be stored and definitely not eaten when infused with fresh herbs.
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.
Can you put the recipes with measurements...I'm new to making soap so where can I start on your videos
I N AC R E D I T A V E L.....ter ficado aquela cor e ter realmente voltado pro verde eu amei ❤ grata por compartilhar do seu experimento aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷 temos a palma em abundância usamos em todos nossos sabonetes somos ricos em Manteigas
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 :)
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...
I have a big field full of them, I might make soap with them, thank you (:
I'm sure it would be great. Have fun! :)
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.
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.
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.🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
That's great!
If I may ask, how can I make a liquid soap from the bar of regular soap? It's it possible? I see people do it online, but it either gets hard, or slimy. 😅 Is there any way I could make a nice soap from the store bought bar?
They often do go slimy, but it depends on the soap. I'm actually experimenting with this behind the scenes for an upcoming video!
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking you know, I've seen how they do soap in Brazil. If we count each gram of ingredients in the developed countries, there, in South America they cook soap by hundreds of liters to sell it or use it at home, because the soap is very expensive($10 per bar of Dove). This one guy Bernardo is very interesting, the way he is doing a liquid soap from the bar soap is amazing. See what you can say about that. He uses sugar instead of glycerin, used salt as thickener, used alcohol 70% to avoid soap separation, used chlorite as preservative and turning soap into clear liquid. Can you explain it scientifically?
ruclips.net/video/7ntj7c3ccro/видео.html
No, I'm only a basic soap maker. I've never use a formula like that.

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 ❤️
Wonder if the fragrance might have come through if you grounded the fresh leaves.
I also make soaps.
I find olive oil soaps need way more time to dry and be ready. As tradition says. Eg 100% olive oil castile, takes a year then works fab. Lathers great.
If desperate I use after 6m its just not as good as at a year.
Just thought that may help someone,
Would you get more of the nutrients of rosemary if you had blended it with the oil, let it sit, then strain it? Seems like rosemary whole might not give as much of the scent nor the essential nutrients. Just wondering as I have no idea and have just started learning.
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 ❤❤❤
My pleasure 😊
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
Sage, oregano and basil infused oils will turn reddish brown as well and then switch back to green. Lemon grass will turn orange. 😛
I love this . Thank you for opening up my mind to trying something so valuable.
that's great! Have fun. :)
so u say not to over cook the rosemary
but the esn oils are distilled at 100c for steam -
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 :)
ITS BECAUSE OF THE OIL FROM THE ROSEMARY. IT HAPPENS IN MINT AS WELL.
IT TAKES LONGER TO CURE.
In Provence, the pickers finish their whole days work of picking by 10 AM. Meaning, always harvest aromatics early in the morning before sun gets hotter in the day.
I can’t take the chance of inhaling any fumes. I thought I would have to give up soap making and I found out if ur water is frozen solid like ice cubes and u add the lye flakes ( I use flakes cause I will never use the beads again they flew into the air and thankfully I had a mask on so I use flakes only from bramble berry the flakes r to heavy to flow at into the air.), anyway if u freeze ur water into ice cubes then measure ur lye flakes out and add the lye flakes to ur ice cubes then gently stir a lil add more give it I stir then some more then stir and once it’s 1/4 of the way melted u can dump the rest in. I don’t know why this works but there is 100% no fumes and it still gets hot gradually let it cool or u can do ur heat transfer method at that point when it’s at its hottest. This was a total game changer.
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❤
Is it safe to use these soaps on hair? Instead of using shampoos, can we use these soaps for hair wash?
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.
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. :)
This would be a good soap for hair growth. Rosemary helps hair grow.
Yes I've heard that. Unfortunately my hair does not like soap though!
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.
i did this soap afetr infusing roseamry during eight weeks, the smell was incredible, im totally addicted to this smell now
How did you infuse? And did the smell come through after making the soap?
@@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
Elly, can I substitute coconut oil for palm oil using the same measurements?
Hi, unfortunately no, soap recipes cannot be changed without them being recalculated in a soap calculator. It's very important that each recipe is calculated accurately in a soap calculator, according to the oils used. This is to ensure that the correct sodium hydroxide amount is used for each oil type. I hope that helps :)
Are you sure it's a soap and not a luxurious cream cake? Can I eat it? 😊
😂😜
wow smart lady - math/ physicist brain type :)
Thank you so much! :)
Hi Elly! Can I use fresh oregano in the same way you used the rosemary? Thanks!
hello probably someone told you already i didn't read all the comment but for a cold soap (one you don't cook) then you need to wait at least 3-4weeks (i'm usually wait a month) to have the fats and the sodium making it's magic, then you will see your ph at perfect level (sry for my bad english btw)
I was looking for that comment! I wouldn't want to wash my hands with that soap quite yet lol. (also your english is great, maybe try using punctuation!)

I really liked watching the infusion process to the soap making process. I can imagine the rosemary fragrance while the infusion was being made.
It was HEAVENLY!
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
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?
Don't worry about the decoration, your soaps are high quality. They look lovely.
Thank you so much 🙂
I'm very confused by your calculations. You've written 424 g of Palm oil, plus 1018 g of Olive oil, which should equal 1,442. Why did you add in + 517 g... where did c that come from? Thanks
Hi maam watching from philippines......may i ask...the color white sulution may i nkow on what exact name/brand... am intersted to learn po...am newly...hopely reply maam...thanks po...
Why??? Do people make soap making so complicated?? Before someone came along and pounded it into everyone’s head that everything has to be weighed, no one weighed and used ph strips. I’ve been making soap for 30 years. . All this calculating, and weighing with scales it’s ridiculous. All my recipes are poured in oz and cups. And people.. DONT use palm oil. Harvesting palm oil destroys our rain forests. We as a world need the rain forests. They are vital to our eco system. Your soap is pretty though.
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?
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?

Hello, my name is Ning. So glad to see your video. I watched it for the first time Your video is very good. I love your soap making. Can I please give you details? What are 2 things that are like oil? I only know rosemary. Could you please help me with this answer? Because I am Thai Can only listen to a little English. If there are letters in print, I can use a translator to help me. In Thailand, there are people who teach how to make soap, but they must use a mixture of caustic soda as well. which is dangerous So I want a natural method like yours.
I mean, making any herbal infusion requires cooking for 15 minutes so I wouldn't be too scared to cook it. However, it sits in an Oil so I guess it'll be ok without actually cooking it.
Fascinating process! Can you describe how the soaps smelled in the end? The plain rosemary vs the one infused with added rosemary and tea tree oil? Thanks 😊
The plain rosemary one (no EO) has a very faint rosmary scent, as expected. It's essentially an unscented soap.
I loved it!! great recipe, thanks for sharing! Could I use the yogurt maker instead crockpot, I think? Its less heat. I'll try to do this!!
Oh yes that's a great idea!!! Wow, I love that. I have a yoghurt maker but didn't think of it. Perfect!
The soap you made didn't foam! it's really bad
Hi dear. ❤ I don't understand the lye ratio. I read 1.7 what is that meaning?. Can you please tell me how to make the lye? I can't wait to make it!! Thank you!!

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.
Whats wrong with Palm oil?
Check out my recent videos on the topic. It's complicated.
Deberia marcar en cada minuto lo que agrega y utiliza.Yo vivo en Argentina y nose ingles pero trato de decifrar lo que dice y agrega.Nose si agrega glicerina liquida con manteca de karite o algun aditivo
Hi, people say using paper for line the wooden soap mold will absorb the oil from soap,, means the super fat will decrease
What do you think about it?
How is it consider safe for the skin sodium hydroxide if you are wearing gloves and goggles? Skin is an organ that absorbs everything
You doing a big mistake to put palm oil in microwave...
Loosing all good staff in palm oil.
🥴
Palm oil is the cheapest oil, just use olive oil, sugar, chemicals 🙈 no thank you
If you have to many air bubbles pull out ya vibrator and vibrate the side of the container and watch the bubbles come to the surface.
Put ice in the water before the lye. This keeps it from gettingv sooo hot! ( Count the ice as water when measuring the water.)
Will Rosemary die in the winter and come back in spring and summer time?
