Wow, that was interesting ... I had no idea that many 'steps' were involved in making Soap ! Thank-you for sharing your process : ) I can't say I'll be making it, but I def. will have (even) more appreciation for the people I purchase it from @ the Farmers Market. Thanks again & HAGWeekend : )

First of all thank you for the video if was very helpful. I have been contemplating making soap to sell, but I'm not sure how to go about it, legally .If you had some advise that would be great.
I'm not sure where you live Peter, but in Canada anyone wanting to sell body care products should register their product recipes with Health Canada. You upload your ingredients to their site (Cosmetic Notification Form) and as long as you are using ingredients approved by Health Canada - you will be given a number to keep for your records in case anyone ever requests. I have never been asked to produce this number when selling at trade shows or in retail locations, but it is good to follow the rules. I also always post on my products a warning to discontinue use if skin irritation occurs. Hope that helps.

@@LittleGardenSK Thank you for your prompt reply🙏🙏🙏 If you don't mind, can you tell me how many % was you milk out of the lye solution? Thank you in advance🙏🙏🙏
Hello - I don't have an exact % that I discount but try to discount no more then 40% out of the total liquid. I want to make sure there is enough water for the lye to fully dissolve. In this recipe the water measurement was 190 gms and Lye 75 gms. My goats milk added after the cook was 90 gms. Hope that helps!
@@LittleGardenSK Thank you! So you subtracted 90 grams out of the 190 grams of liquid, right? You dissolved your lye with 100 grams of water, correct? I'm sorry to trouble you again! But your soap is SO BEAUTIFUL, MOISTURIZING AND CREAMY! I'd like to make one like yours. Hope you can tell me that measurement! Thank you again and I'm very sorry!🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏
Soap looks good, however the numbers for your lye and liquid are WAYYYYY out as you have them written in your notebook at the end of the video. For your 1400g of oils you would need about 210g of lye at 0%SF seeing as you added your superfats separately after the cook. Hope you actually used the correct amount
TYPO!!! This soap has to cure at a minimum of 4- 6 WEEKS, not days. You may want to edit it as both hot process and cold process soapmaking needs to go through water evaporation and crystallization before its finished curing. To properly make soap. Yes, one can use the soap after saponification but it will be a fast dissolving, soft and can be slimy when used before its finished curing. Always weigh the soap; when finished loosing weight, the soap is fully cured.
@@LittleGardenSKonly cold process has to cure for 6-8 weeks. That’s the saponification period, using this method, soap is cooked and CAN be used within 3 days or less. The longer you wait, harder the bar of course it you were correct in your information

75g lye for more than 1400g of fats total? That seems like quite a large lyediscount?

Do you need to do water discount from your lye solution since you add milk after the cook? Thank you in advance!
Hello May. Yes that is correct. Thank you for checking out my channel.
