This was the first soap I made. I tweaked the recipe just a little bit, but OH MY GOODNESS. this makes my skin feel so soft that I don't even feel like I need lotion afterwards. It is AMAZING. Thank you for sharing this recipe, Marie!
I'm so thrilled to hear it! 😃Thanks for DIYing with me!
I cannot wait to try this recipe. It looks gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge with us.
I love it. Thank you. It was so great to see your towel heaving a hole just like mine. Almost all soap makers have perfect gears. This soap looks absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks for watching!
It's a beautiful soap, but on my computer, it doesn't look green, it looks like a beige and white, but I'm glad I was able to watch you make this. I was looking on Pinterest, and you wrote " do you want to read how this is made, or watch it?" I hit that watch button soo fast, and here I am. Thank you.
How odd! It sounds like your monitor's colour calibration may be a bit off :) I'm glad you enjoyed watching-happy soaping!
I watch Korean shows so I always have captions on and so sometimes the English auto generated ones make me laugh. It reads "Hades I'm Murray from being me and today we are making this lovely gentle head and Shey soap" 😄
Ha! That's AMAZING! Bang on, wow, technology-what would we do without you? 😂
Humblebee & Me y’a
Pod a go. A
Absolutely gorgeous soap. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Does Hemp seed oil causes DOS in soap?
What a gorgeous soap.
Yess on the spatulas 🥸
This is my first time watching you soap, lol! I always think of you as a brilliant formulator, not a soap girl. I know that that is silly, but very true. I enjoyed watching you make soap.It's where I started, and now I formulate and do soap. I guess I find your education a little much for soaping, but again I'm just as sure that's where you started. I don't exactly know what I'm getting at here! It was a fun video to watch!!!
Thanks, Jill! Soap was one of the first things I started making and I still really enjoy the process, though I rarely use it anymore. I just dropped off a big box of my homemade soap at our local drop in centre so they can enjoy it :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe That was nice of you, I give bars to a local food bank. People always give food but forget people need to be clean too!
I love your Videos so much and learn so much
My husband is from Nigeria. As you know they have a completly different soap Tradition
I am from Berlin Germany
We have been developing our own recipes as a Hobby. But we also love to copy yous. Just for Personal use
Thank you so much
I like & appreciate it when you fast-forward through repetitive/boring parts. 😀
No worries-it's crazy boring haha!
Thank you for this video!! Am definitely going to try the room temp soap making, rather than the thermometer-same-temp "way"
You're very welcome! Happy soaping :D
This is the first time I have watched your do a video. You communicate very well. I was very impressed.
Thanks so much, Dawn! Happy making :)
Can u please send me the easiest Shea butter and hemp seed oil recipe. Thanks
I have read so many explanations of superfatting but only finally understood it from yours!
Thanks!
Yay! Happy soaping :D
Hello, been seeing your channel many times and finally I found myself subscribing to you. I really love your way of teaching the DIY.
Thanks and welcome :) Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com)-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on RUclips since about 2016, so there is TONS more content on the blog!
i relate to your sense of humor. makes it easy to learn
Thanks! :D I'm glad :)
Looks great , What do you mean by making the lye water, how do you make that? Please let me know
If i want to add fragrance to this soap how much do I add or figure it out? Still new at this. This is a great beginner friendly tutorial! 💕
Try not to soap while you’re high
Hi. Thank you for your awesome videos. I made goat soap with 40% lye, 40% olive oil, 35% Coconut oil, 10% castor oil, 15% grape seed oil. Used it and about slipped in the shower it was so slippery. How can I get a less slippery bar? I want to make my grandmother some soap but this soap would be detrimental for her. Thank you in advance for your answer.
You can use thumb tack and masking tape to hold the paper on your molding it works perfect and I get mine at dollar tree
I've been looking for a Shea and hemp recipe. Glad I found you! This will be my first time making soap. I was wondering if I could add a fragrance to this. How much do you suggest and when do I do this? Also, how do I add Neem oil? Thanks in advance.
I love, love your personality! So endearing! Really enjoy your videos 😊
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the excellent video which helps me in my soap making adventures.
Happy soaping!
Love your videos, so easy to follow. I am new to soap making. I made a batch yesterday, both lye and oil are at room temperature, the mixture thickens up so quickly with my immersion blender (less than 20 sec), also hard and a bit flakey when cutting after 24 hours. I use the soapcalc follow the same %. Any ideas why my soap hardens so quickly? Thank you.
Hi
Should I use refined or unrefined coconut oil?
Can i use refined pure coconut oil
For soap, use the cheapest coconut oil you can get :)
Ho wow seriously?
Thank you so muchh
Thank you so much for your lovely recipes! I would like to make this soap, but I am not a big fun of animal fats...Could I substitute the beef tallow/lard for any other butter/oils?
There's a link on this in the description box; click it and read it ;)
Spatulas...... dually noted!!!
Awesome!! 💜 can any recipie cold process soap be done at room temperature?
Kind of, but with varying results. Anything with tons of hard fats may be too viscous to work with/lead to false trace. Anything with lots of soft fats will take a lot longer to trace, so that's up to you and how patient you are :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe ok great thanks. !!
Love it,thank you!
Lovely!
And I thought I was the only one to use elastic bands lol
Thanks! Given my parchment paper's desire to run for the hills the rubber bands are a MUST!
How much lye and water did you use in this recipe? Thank you!
Do you have a sheet that explains how to convert % into grams?
Hi!! Love your very professional and wonderful videos! Couldn't find the link for the spatulas...😔
Thanks for watching! :) www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-equipment-use-time/
Just FYI... I don’t use tallow or lard because I find them to be quite comedogenic. I don’t seem to run into any of the problems that you’ve had with aging, tho. It often takes my soaps 4 to 6 weeks to age, at which point, they are maybe 90% hardened and perfectly useable. I use roughly an equal amount of each: coconut oil, palm oil and olive oil. Sometimes I substitute avocado oil for the olive oil. Then I adjust my recipe to include whatever additives or superfatting that I want to do. I use Soapmaker to adjust my recipes, which is quite handy, and it is always dead-on accurate with the lye:oil ratios... one of the things that helps a lot with the aging is being able to adjust your water ratio in the recipe...
Of course you're not encountering issues if you're using palm oil; it's a hardening oil, just like tallow. I won't use it for environmental reasons.
@@HumblebeeAndMe Yea I don't use Palm neither. Most of my customers are prefer vegan friendly soaps so I just stay away from Palm because of the controversial issues with it.
what do you do with your ends and scraps ? Thank you for all these wonderful video's. You Rock. ♡
This! www.humblebeeandme.com/fairy-bread-soap/ :)
Thanks for sharing! I am eager to try this out.
Happy making!
I loved it , thank u for ur recipe
Thanks for watching!
I dont want to use tallow or lard can I use palm oil is that a good sub? Your videos are awesome thanks
Hey! I've written an entire post on this here: www.humblebeeandme.com/why-i-use-lard-or-tallow-in-my-soap-and-why-you-should-too/ :)
So this soap has no Lye?
Do you have the link for your spatulas? I love them too and would love to know where you got them!! Thanks!! And thanks for all you do!! Love your videos!!
Here you go! www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-equipment-use-time/
Very Very nice!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Can the lard be switched out for palm oil?
I use my soap on my hair and body and was wondering if I used btsm 50 in the bar instead of beeswax would it help work as “conditioner”?
LOL!! Hahahahaha. "A bouquet of spatulas instead of flowers".
I'm not kidding even the tiniest bit LOL. I want a spatula bouquet!
Did I miss where to buy your spatulas? I’m sooooo happy I found your channel. Thank you for sharing💕
I would like to know if you add superfat with the oils and butters together or after once you get trace. Also when you fill out the lye calculator and put 7 percent superfat would you add it or would you have to caculate it after you get your lye and water measurement. Please help.
Hey Michelle! It sounds like you are very new to soap making :) Welcome! I think this post will answer your question: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/superfattinglye-discounting/
Thank you very much and yes I am. Love your videos and continue what you are doing. Great job.
I can't seem to get the beef tallow to melt! Can I mix this up when the oils are a little clumpy or do they have to be completely melted?
Hi Michael! If the tallow won't melt, something is wrong. Tallow has a fairly low melting point, and if the shea has melted, the tallow should definitely be liquid. I am concerned that perhaps the tallow was not rendered and strained properly, which could mean that the measurement/weight isn't correct, which could result in a lye-heavy soap.
when you say fats what do you mean by that? Is it the oils? Do you just add them all together and then heat it up? can you add that part please or explain to me. IM a patron of yours and I don't have access to anything
Fats = oils + butters. Have you read the partner blog post? www.humblebeeandme.com/gentle-hemp-and-shea-soap/
Patreon isn't the place where you'd find a ton of extra information about this 6 year old project :) That's what the blog is for!
Ma'am can we use hemp butter instead of shea butter in normal recipies where we put all the oils including coconut, sunflower,castor etc
In my area shea butter is very expensive where as hemp butter is cheaper...we have to put only 10% of butter
Can i put hemp butter instead of shea?? Please answer ma'am
Hemp butter isn't a "real" butter-is is typically hydrogenated vegetable oil mixed with hemp oil. These are sometimes called pseudo butters. The hemp plant does not make a butter. I've never used a pseudo butter in soap before; you'll have to experiment and see :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe okay ma'am thankyou
Is it okay to use a whisk instead of the mixer you used in the video? Or, is it important to buy a mixer?
You'll want to use the immersion blender to ensure you don't have clumps of powder throughout the soap.
Hi Marie. Awesome video! Q. If I wanted to scent my soap batch, at what stage would you recommend I do this? After trace but before colorant is added? Also, is there a simple way to determine how large of a soap mold I need for a batch that calculates out at a total yield of 94 ounces/ 2664.86 grams? That's just under 6 pounds/2.6847 kilos. I want standard size soap bars that fit nicely in the palm of the hand. Finally, can you recommend a substitution for the hemp oil if I can't obtain that in my area? Thanks very much in advance!!! I've finally go up the courage to make soap from scratch instead of melt and pour and just successfully used Brambleberry Lye Calc. for the first time with your recipe - it worked! Yay! ;)
Scents are added after trace. Pigment additions are typically dictated by the design (you may wish to split the batter first, and you would usually want to add the scent before splitting the batter up).
Your question on soap mould size is a tricky one because you're asking about volume determinations for weighted projects that will not have an easily determinable volume:weight conversion. I know the mould I use holds 100g oils turned into soap batter per 1" of the mold. So, it's 15" long, and will perfectly hold a 1500g oils batch of soap. www.humblebeeandme.com/my-soap-mould/
If you don't have the hemp seed oil I'd probably just make a different recipe-hemp is right in the name of this recipe, it's kind of a big deal ha. For a new soaper I'd recommend this one: www.humblebeeandme.com/my-all-in-one-soap-recipe/.
Happy soaping!
Thank you very much! You're awesome!
I don't want to use lard or tallow, is there something I can replace that with?
www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-use-instead-tallow-lard-soap/
Thank you for the video. Can the recipe be made without the titanium dioxide ?
The titanium dioxide is the colorant. It can be made, but without the super white strip in the middle. I don't know of a natural white colorant. You'd just omit the titanium dioxide and have a solid colored bar. Or you could use a natural colorant to make the middle strip a different color, like orange, or brown.
CRTRRTinGA is right :)
Hello. I am from Poland and on Polish channels I also watch films like making soap. Your shows are fantastic. I miss only one. On our channels often people who show how to make soap give the exact recipe what was added and in what amount to make a given soap. I miss this here. I think that for beginners it is also very important. Besides, it's all ok.
It is extremely important that soap makers learn how to calculate their own recipes so they can always be certain of the amount of lye used, which is why I never provide exact amounts. It also makes for much easier scaling :) Happy soaping!
how much lye and water per pound of soap ?
What else could I use to replace the lard or tallow?
There's a link on this in the description box; click it and read it ;)
Well... I guess if you use "can" in the sense of nothing catastrophic will happen. Like, you "can" use olive oil instead of butter in cookies, but they certainly won't be anywhere close to the same as they would've been if you'd used butter 😝 Lard/tallow are hardening fats in soap, so if you want to swap them out you really should use a different hardening fat to end up with a bar with roughly the same texture/aging time 😊
Hi I do not have hemp oil in Brazil, which one can I use instead?
I'd probably just make a different recipe that doesn't call for hemp seed oil as that is the key ingredient in this soap-I have lots on my blog! www.humblebeeandme.com/make-bar-soap/
I had my first soap fail today and wondering if I can re-batch? When I added my my lye and water solution to my oils I started to mix and mix. At first it was thickening nicely, but then it started getting very very gritty. I guess it got all separated. Someone told me to wait a few days, take it out of the mold and force hot-process the soap. Once it is at the gel stage I should use a stick blender and pour in mold. I'm kinda desperate at this point because I used sooo much of my ingredients.
Here is my full video of my fail :(
ruclips.net/video/GTri9_B0kbw/видео.html
Hmm. It looks like it got too hot, so for next time I'd try combining the oils and lye water at room temperature (side note-your oils and water parts should be close to the same temp, so the fact that they were 40°F apart may be part of the reason for your troubles).
I've afraid I am not at all an expert on re-batching, however, I don't think it'll be a hot-process thing because saponification will still happen, it's just going to be ugly. You're just going to be trying to basically re-form it by melting it down again. From my experience with this I'd add as little water as possible to get it to melt, use a slow cooker, and be patient-the batch I did this with shrunk a TON because I added far too much extra water lol. My little cubes shrivelled up so much as they aged haha.
Love your video，thank you for sharing！
Thanks so much, Lisa!
What do you recommend as a vegan substitute for lard/fat? Thank you talented babe! :)
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at humblebeeandme.com/faq/ 😊Happy making!
@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank you! :)
Thank you, amazing soap. Do you have a recipe?
You'll find the answer to your question in the description box below the video :) Happy making!
Can I add fragrance to this soap such as patchouli EO?
Of course! The rule of thumb is 30g EO per 500g of oils, but you can probably step that back a bit with patchouli as I find it's quite strong and lasts for ages in soap :)
Awesome 👍
Thank you so much!
This is my first video of yours. Your name is super cute! I'm trying to do research for using CBD oil in Cold Process soap.
Thanks! Happy soaping :)
I have never used the kaolin clay, what does it do?
It makes the soap wonderfully rich and creamy-I'm addicted to including clay in soap!
I love this soap, I am wondering how to get the recipe, all I see is 10% shea butter???
Click the "show more" link under that :)
So, what's the black soap in the other half of the mold? Enquiring minds want to know!
Eh... it was probably this one: www.humblebeeandme.com/lumps-coal-christmas-soap/. I'm not 100% sure though!
Humblebee and her famous rubber stick :)
I just got more-I can't have enough!
Just a suggestion... if you know what the weight of your pot is, you can just weigh the batch and subtract the pot, then divide the result....
Very true! I just couldn't be particularly bothered for this one... I often like to embrace the "rustic" aka err a bit on the lazy side 😝
Okay, this is adorable. I would like 5. *falls over laughing* Isn't this where I offer pain be gone butter for soap? lol I do need to get brave and get soap tools.
Dooooo it! Soaping is awesome!
Yes. After the first batch, your confidence will soar. Get some stainless pots used and a nice stick blender. Olive oil takes longer to come together, so it gives you lots of time to obsess and freak out. Maybe that's just me.
Marie is correct. Soaping is awesome.
I can't seem to find the link for the spatulas,,where exactly do I click on, thanks..
Here you go: amzn.to/2f6PQOm. The link in the description box below the video takes you to my blog, and that's where all the links and written instructions are.
I followed this recipe to the tee. When I let the oils come to room temp the Shea butter hardened again. Would you explain why this happened? Thank you
Fats solidify when they are at a temperature well below their melting point, so if this mixture solidified then you can be confident it cooled past its melting point. "Room temperature" is an average range of temperatures rather than anything specific, so if your "room temperature" is a few degrees cooler than mine that could do the trick. Happy making!
I always thought that hemp degrades when heating. How do you still get the great benefits from hemp once it's made with hemp into a soap?
I honestly have my doubts about the benefits of much of anything coming through in soap-saponification is a pretty brutal process.
Humblebee & Me I find that a lot of products on the market today are utilizing it & I would like to get started with soap making myself. I just wanted to be able to get the benefit of doing so. I guess I'll do some more research on it to see if it's worth using in a soap or if I should maybe concoct an oil or body butter with it. Thanks for the reply!
You didnt mention the amount lye solution
Read the blog post ;)
I’m not seeing the link to purchase the spatulas.
You’ll find it here :) www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-equipment-use-time/
Can we use apple cider vinegar in soap?
Kind of, but not very much, and I'm not clear on why one would. NaOH is extremely basic, so adding vinegar to it will cause a vigorous reaction (think baking soda vinegar volcano, but stronger), and will consume some of the NaOH, resulting in a higher superfat, though at unspecified levels. Adding vinegar to finished soap can result in de-saponification (www.lisabronner.com/a-word-of-caution-about-vinegar-and-castile-soap/).
Which clay??
Everything is in the blog post, linked in the description box :)
How many gram ?
You'll find the answer to your question in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;) If you're not sure what that means, read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/whats-the-description-box-on-youtube/.
Happy making!
i would love to make this soap, but i use ounces instead of grams. i tried running this through the soap calc i use but it says i have to pick only 1 oil. i don't think i like that one anymore. i'm horrible at math so i was wondering how i could do this in ounces instead. i tried using the soap calc you did the video on and just couldn't figure it out. yes i know i'm hopeless at stuff like this. any ideas? i'm so embarassed about this. lol
Hmm. You definitely can pick more than one oil on soap calc, so I'm not sure what is going on there. Maybe try this one? www.brambleberry.com/pages/lye-calculator.aspx.
A mica line of activated charcoal would be pretty
Yeah! I do love seams :)
You're amazing 😉
Thank you so much!
HOLA SOY RUTH DE ISRAEL ME ENCANTAN TUS EXPLICACIONES ---MI PREGUNTA ES SI TIENES RECETAS ECXACTAS Y CANTIDADES ECXACTASGRACIAS POR TU RESPUESTA RUTH
"HELLO I AM RUTH
FROM ISRAEL I LOVE YOUR EXPLANATIONS --- MY QUESTION IS IF YOU HAVE
RECORDS ECXACTS AND AMOUNTS ECXACTASGRACIAS FOR YOUR RESPONSE RUTH"
Hey Ruth! There are no exact measurements because that depends on the size of your batch-run the formula through SoapCalc to get those! ruclips.net/video/e2IfuosYBos/видео.html
Can you clarify, if your mould is 15 inches and 1 inch equals 100 grams then your mould would hold 1500 grams. But your recipe is only 500gr.
The recipe is in percents, so you can calculate it to any size you like. The add ins are listed per 500g, so if you made a 1500g batch you'd use the add ins x3. If you made a 500g batch with my mould you'd place a divider at at the 5" mark the fill it properly.
Why fancy tops?? Its soap
Why fancy wedding cakes? Why pretty underwear? Why not? :)
hi thanks for the wonderful videos :-) could you just tell me, if I can use mixer instead of blender in soap making? thanks
I don't recommend it-electric beaters are designed to whip air into something, which we don't want to do here, and it makes splattering more likely, which we don't want to do with raw soap batter.
Thank you so much :-)
How would I go about adding a scent and what scent would you recommend for this soap
You'd add the EO or FO at trace, ~30g per 500g oils. I'd probably recommend lavender for this :)
0:09
I am not familiar with any of this, though I do find it interesting. Chemicals vs natural and what can be done. I must admit though, if you put that on a plate I would probably try to eat it. Looks like good cake.
I promise it tastes awful, haha!
Can someone translate the recipe to grams please I’m struggling 😭
Don't your harder oils solidify when cooling to room temperature?
There's enough added liquid oils that I don't find they solidify, though they do get more viscous. If you live somewhere extra super cold they may solidify, but I find they don't here in Canada :)
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Why do you have to cover the soap for 24hrs?
Covering the soap helps trap in heat during saponification, which may or may not be desirable depending on the soap and the effect you're going for :) For instance, it'll help the soap gel, but it can also cause it to crack-depending on what's in the soap, and ambient temperatures.
RIP ears @10:23
Ack, sorry! ☠️
Humblebee & Me no worries, just joking with ya..
Spatulas....lol
Spatulas 😍
Please can you do amino acid soaps. I've been doing my research but it's all in vain
You always sound out of breath, as if you have just sprinted 400metres.
