Sticky slimy soap? 'Snot a problem, lol! Fun Video! We are all struggling to keep costs under control. I made a rice bran dish soap that glues itself down and slumps into the soap dish. To use it, you have to pick up the soap dish and apply it to the sponge like that. Good times, lol!
Oh geez, gooey soap dish residue is enough to deal with without the soap sticking to it! Interesting, I’ve never thought of using bar soap to clean dishes. I imagine coconut oil would be great since it’s so cleansing!
@@SoapUniverse Yeah100% coconut oil is great I've been using it for some years now for dishes and laundry and for cleaning around the house 🤔😄BTW I love the video ...❤ and did watch the other soap ones you've made so far... Subscribed 🙏
@@SoapUniverse And one more thing I didn't know that Home Depot sells lye thank you for the tip 🙂 ... Many years ago (about 12/13🤔) I went to HD and they told me Canada banned the sale of lye so, I thought no problem I'm only 45 min away from Voyageur 😊 but yeah that's what they said ...
I became interested in soap making because my bride is extremely sensitive to perfumes and fragrances. It's hard to find soapmakers who make unscented soap. While the unscented doesn't smell good, when you use it, it doesn't leave any smell on you, either.
Beef tallow can be cheaper than canola oil. Lots of butchers throw away beef trimmings; if you talk them into giving you the trimmings and render out the tallow yourself, it only costs you the electricity/fuel to run the rendering pot. Plus beef tallow almost certainly makes a nicer soap than canola.
That’s a good point, and it’s something others have mentioned. Looks like I’ll need to update this idea with a new video! Maybe I should retitle it to the cheapest vegan bar of soap you can make or something 😊
The problem with rendering your own fat is most people don't know how to do it to get the purity good enough or the temperature right in the process to avoid the soap having a smell. If you do animal based just use lard. If you render it's worth it to get an immersion cooker to render your fat slowly
As a soap maker, my bars had 20% of canola and the DOS they had was HORRIBLE. I had to throw out so many batches. It was worth just to buy olive oil. Also, loved your video!!
I think dreaded orange spots (DOS) occurs when impure tap water is used. You should use deionised or distilled water if you aren't using it already. Or add 2% citric acid to the sodium hydroxide solution to create sodium citrate which binds to the metal ions in tap water. 2% citric acid compared to the mass (weight) of the fat/oil. So 1000g of olive oil requires 20g of citric acid 👍
If you have a doller tree or everythings a $1 store, they sell coconut oil, olive oil (which contains soy bean oil so its not pure), and grapeseed oil for $1.25. I'm sure your stores are called Daiso. You could check there.
Our Dollar Tree in Canada is called Dollarama, and unfortunately they only sold canola oil but it was actually more expensive per 100g than the Superstore one! A super cheap coconut oil soap would probably be lovely.
@@NaturalMackie it works fine in soap, but I mostly use it for making body butter. I just blend coconut oil with olive oil every month. I spend like $2.50 a month for body butter. They sell vitamen e oil in the beauty section too its good to put some in. I don't mind it being greasy, but if others do add arrow root powder. I don't add preservatives, because I use it quick.
Talk about free... I use tallow. I get fat pieces from butchers at whole foods, render, then make soap. The butchers love it when I bring them some of the finished product. Big Lots has cheap coconut oil. Every quarter they have 20% off coupons which makes the coconut oil that much cheaper! Love your videos. Your commentary cracks me up every time! Thanks 😂😅
An coconut Castile soap would be immensely better than the canola! I’m always curious about making soap from tallow - it’s a good way to use every part of the beast.
If I was in to soap making, beef fat is one of the easiest things to get. I know a butcher that would likely give me 100s of pounds several times a week of beef fat. The only problem is rendering it down which is a cost in its own. The owner before the current owner of said butcher plant used to take all the fat and render it over a wood fire. This was back in the 80s 90s and maybe 2000s, what he did with the tallow, I have no clue.
Dude.... the Lloyd Christmas meme had me howling! 🤣Thanks a lot for this interesting video! I made my first batch of soap today 100% olive oil recipe, and thanks to your help made my own recipe on the soap calc using much more coconut oil = more lather apparently. Yeah costs have gone crazy for everything over here in the UK so nice to know there is a nice cheap recipe.
I’d love to see a picture of it! If you have Reddit, you could post it on r/soapmaking once it’s cured and cut. Olive oil is definitely a more popular choice to use for Castile because it lasts so much longer. Coconut oil is super great for lather so I’m happy you caught that 😃
What an incredible video and breakdown. I’m very new to soap making. 2 batches so far and surprised how much I like it. Next batch, pine tar. 6:58 which gun is that?
Thank you, and you’ll love soapmaking! I haven’t done a pine tar soap but I’d love to play around with different oils. Let me know how it goes! The gun is an Etekcity infrared thermometer I bought from Amazon for around $23 CAD!
Seems like a lot of soapmakers are in Victoria! Yes, I’m in the Vancouver area 😊 I’m a little jealous you found that mold… I wanted one with those dimensions and ended up getting a different one that wasn’t those dimensions that was twice as expensive ☠️ Also, I’d recommend picking up a pack of silicone cupcake molds! They’re great for mixing colours and using up leftover batter.
Reading what others had said, I expected the soap to be a little slimy but not gooey! It was totally disgusting but it washes off easily and doesn’t seem to leave residue so it’s still perfectly usable soap!
This was really interesting! I am SUPER curious if I could make a soap that was that cheap or cheaper now. I'm subscribing for sure and checking out more of your videos!
I challenge you to! The recipe for the cheapest soap possible would vary by region, and canola oil is a bit more expensive in the states. Super fun and worth a try to see how low you can go 😃
I’ve tried single oil soaps too. I think it’s one of those things we should all try out ourselves for sure. I think lowering the SF and water for these types of soaps helps a lot with the snot 😂. I’m still not a fan of single oil soap except for coconut oil. I clean everything with it. It’s one of my favorites for household cleaning. Nice work!
Also letting them cure longer (sometimes for 6 months) allows the soap crystals to change and reduce a lot of that snotty gumminess! I’ve heard lots of great things about coconut oil soaps! But my fingers are basically half-eaten by excema so I try to stay away from anything too harsh 😊 On the other end, what’s the most complicated soap that you’ve made? Have you tried using 5+ oils or butters?
@@SoapUniverse even after a year, I’ve had Castile be snotty. I’ve tried multiple different things, and some batches are less snotty than others. I have eczema too. I use the coconut oil soaps for household cleaning. It’s amazing. I don’t much care for it for washing hands/body even with a higher SF. I’ve done lots of different kinds of soaps and recipes. I’ve been soaping for several years. I had to back off some the past year, but I’ve done a lot of different things with soap. It’s so fun to try new things, and there’s always something new to try.
In USA, we have lots of road kill deer in winter which are legal to keep. You can render fat into tallow-rich in palmitic acid. Yes, canola (rapeseed) or vegetable oil (soybean) are cheapest in USA. Sunflower oil has linoleic acid as well and can be cheap if you buy in bulk.
Thanks for trying this. I always wondered what would happen if i used just regular cooking oil to make soap. I made a 100% olive oil soap for my mother even though i told her that it wont be a good soap. Imo it did the same thing as yours it was kinda slimey but that was one day after i made it. She has sensitive skin so was dead set on 100% olive oil but whatever as long as she likes it.
Olive oil is very high in oleic fatty acids (higher than canola, even) which explains the sliminess! Curing the soap for a few months should cut down on the sliminess as those oleic acids salt out.
Thanks! For audio I use an old Zoom H4N, back when I was trying to be a filmmaker. I record in Audacity and apply base level compression and equalization, then it’s ready to go.

I've used bacon grease to make hot-process soap, and it turned out well. Bacon is relatively inexpensive, and why waste the grease that comes out of it?

Canola oil is rapeseed oil. The final ingredients should show sodium rapeseedate, glycerin and water with the super fat percentage mentioned. Canola oil, water and sodium hydroxide is the recipe, which is different to the final ingredients.
I actually found a butcher here locally that give me fat trimmings for a dollar a pound so that's really cool and then I save all my Bacon fat and clean it myself and it's been working out really well for me
1:47 the patient gave this fat away and the clinic is throwing it out, so it is not really illegal, and not more disgusting than using pig lard or beef tallow (who did not willingly give away their fat - now that'sunethical)... so, I'll have to disagree ❤
The soap bar quality numbers are so sketchy. Looks like you will be getting a very soft bar without much in the way of lather. That indicates that the soap will be an oil slick in the shower in very short time.
The numbers on SoapCalc aren’t very accurate, I agree. They’re good for getting you in the general direction, but I try to tell people not to sweat over finding the perfect “hard bar” or “conditioning bar” or whatever bar they want to suit their needs because, overall, most soap is alike! It’s almost like fine wine. Some people can detect the subtle differences, and others just want something that gets the job done.
Since I currently give my soaps only to friends and family, I don’t use distilled water. The water in Vancouver additionally is very low in minerals so any effect it would have on the soap is negligible!
As someone who has been making soap for 10+ years…. Please do not use this method. There are quite a few things he left out and did incorrectly. I guarantee in a few more months you will have DOS!!!!!
