Today is perhaps the final day in the M&P from scratch clear soap series thingy. But recipes are almost the least important part of making; the WHY behind the formulation will help you formulate your own!
Book - Making Transparent Soap by Catherine Failor - 10/10 highly recommend.

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

Soap SCIENCE!!!!
Ooo. I love science and chemistry stuff. Nutty professor and mad scientist 🥼 laughing at all the cool thingies...
Definitely gonna have to watch this many times to get all of the info but thank you for all your brain power
A HUGE THANK YOU, that was very cool! You cleared up so many questions, I’m grateful! You just understand what your audience needs, don’t you ? 🤗
I cannot believe how excited I was when you mentioned Catherine's book, I've had it for years!
Very cool, you make things look very simple. All in all it is…thank you so much for sharing and for all the extra bits. Thank you again.
I love you and your brain!🤩
Thank you for always sharing your knowledge with us!
That was so great! Thank you! I just ordered the book on transparent soap that you recommended. I'm fascinated with the chemistry of this!
Awesome mini deep dive!
Thank you so much for this video. I absolutely love learning new things ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. You are very much appreciated.
Hi! I have never made my own melt and pour. Thank you for all this info! This is a very interesting video! Will have to watch again, take notes, and eventually venture to make!
You are rocking it! Love your videos. Thank you.
I'm definitely going to try this
Loved this sciency one ❤️ 😍 ♥️
lmbo, yup I'm with the others....got to watch this several times. You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge. Very very interesting. Thanks again 🙂
I definitely need to watch this a couple of times lol. Lots of good info as always!!
I'm really, really kinda hooked on this thing. Sad, though, the everclear cost put the price of my materials about the same as buying premade from WSP with free shipping, or actually more expensive than bulk SFIC from BB.
I used 70/30 coco/stearic, and the rest adhering tob you recipe on one of the others. Like I said in my million comment chain last week, mine ended up honey colored because I used unbleached sugar, but since I was coloring it, it was good. The jelly texture was just because I hadn't cooked it long enough-- smelled like jungle juice until I brought it to 180 ish for half an hour. I'm the initial cook I failed to get it over 150. The lather is still amazing, and I just am so happy to have had you as close as my RUclipss to save my butt on my first wholesale order. I think. We'll see how that all plays out. Politics, I don't do. Ugh.
Great episode, thank you.
Just when I think I couldn't like you any more you quote DMX and it jumps a level
I mean, if you can’t find a way to insert DMX into a casual conversation, are you really a fan? 😂
@@MrsSoapAndClay 😂 I think we all know the answer to that question.
Awesome, thank you
You are the best 😘😘
Your other more advanced way sounds very intriguing 🤔! I am always looking for a way to make my bars clearer without having to use Stephenson. Loved this Chantine as always your brain is on fire 🔥 😍 👏! Love ya ❤️ 💜 💕 ♥️ 😘!
The bases are getting so pricey these days that I imagine many people are wanting to avoid them!
OMG. OMG. OMG. I just discovered your channel. I subscribed, smiled, and nodded immediately when I saw you had a peer-reviewed journal cited. Thank you for this. Im' so excited to read more deeply.
Welcome! Enjoy the backlog of soapy content. With all those videos, you are bound to find one that’s going to make you mad and unsubscribe, so make sure to comment on that one so I know. 😂🤪💜
@@MrsSoapAndClay It takes a lot to make me mad, so I'm sure I'll be okay. Thanks for your channel. I enjoy all sorts of soapy content and plan on making my own RUclips soon.😄
@NeonCityScents oh good, well then you’ll be fine. I can go a bit off script now and daily. Starting a RUclips?!?! Fun! I kinda like it. 😂
Yeah Violet purple and blues cancel out yellow in hair my daughter uses purple shampoo that’s costs me 29 dollars a bottle smh I was going to do the same thing so I ordered ultramarine violet I seen a video she used it and it knocked out the yellow and yes I got everclear 😂 I also asked my friend he’s owns a liquor store to see if he can find me a higher clear volka but he said ever clear is the good high one in a couple days I should have my dye I read this book they had a old book and it shows you 6 different ways and the colors they come out to
Thank you for your knowledge
I love her mind because she understands my Questions and I actually get answers. Even though My questions are weird and sometimes in the outer space realms... 💜🤗
Never weird! Always interesting. ❤️
@@MrsSoapAndClay ... Yes weird. The good kind. LoL
@@emerencespringer I love your question-ful mind, Emerence. 🤓
@@MrsTheClown ... Thank you. I hope it's a good thing because I have a million of them. Again I'm of the mad scientist person and experimenting of everything within safe standards.
Hi I cooked lye/oils but it seems quite floury, is it safe to carry on with process? And is temps Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Can you add Kaolin Clay and still get a CLEAR Melt & Pour Soap Base?
In researching, CA seems to have a limit to 151 proof. In search of Everclear, I have only been able to locate 120 proof (it might be out there at 151, but I haven't found it thus far.) The Ethanol online at Simple Solvents is 200 proof, $75.00 for a gallon. Not a big deal but wondering what the difference might be in the gap with final product and which proof you use when using Ethanol? Thanks so much!
I love this 😍 I’m going to end up watching this several times. I love learning chemistry/science concepts.
I saw people somewhere (RUclips? Maybe?) claiming you can make soap with oil and sodium bicarbonate if you’re afraid of sodium hydroxide? I mean I guess it’s the sodium ion that contributes to the formation of the salt molecule so... ? Maybe it’s possible to use the sodium in the bicarb instead? I need to know 😳
Ha! Sounds like a fun myth busters experiment!
@@MrsSoapAndClay i found it! I don’t think the tube will let me link it, but it’s by an account called pink sugar soapery and the video is titled “how I make soap without lye”.
In the comments, the people’s are saying you can use sodium carb (not bicarb, i was wrong about that!).
@@katelillo1932 umm... I'm pretty sure that's (sodium carb) is washing soda, aka pot ash aka soda ash. I, too, am intrigued.
Thanks for explaining about ethanol vs isopropyl alcohol. And that too much liquid will make the texture rubbery.
I'm not a huge fan of isopropyl alcohol because of the price and the smell.
Glad you got some good information out of it!
Love your videos! Can you explain how I would come up with my own formula for making melt and pour bases with different butters and oils? I’m not sure what percentages of everything I need to create my own. I haven’t found a lot of info out there on this. Maybe you already have a video on here that I couldn’t find about this. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Hey! Thanks for watching. I would check out the Hot Process and Whipped Scrubs playlists - lots of info on formulating in those videos. Have fun!
My library only has one book on it too
What did you mix with the sugar it was 5oz.? I was thinking it is alcohol but then you mixed the alcohol and glycerin
@mrssoapandclay hi, can i change miriatic acid for coconut Oli?
Remade, has come out opaque, will it clear as it cures?
Hi, what stick blender brands do you recommend? Thank you.
Hey! I still prefer a $25 Hamilton Beach blender to all others I’ve tried.
I've been obsessively watching your "Melt & Pour from Scratch" videos, and with this recipe I was just wondering whether it is harsh on your skin? Because it is Coconut Oil and 0% superfat, does that make it a bit like dish soap? I am going to go watch more of your videos now and will delete or edit this comment if I figure out the answer myself!! :). Thanks for your videos. I make "all the things" too, but haven't made M&P from scratch yet -- I'm excited to do a bunch of soap experiments with M&P from scratch soon!
Did you use 150 or 190 proof ever clear?
I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding the lye to water quantity you used. In soap calc I used the 1.4:1 ratio based on your recipe just for confirmation before creating my own recipe but it does not come back to the amount of water to lye ounces you used. Can you clarify?
Hey! Just double checked my recipe against soapcalc, and with 3.5oz coconut and 1.5oz stearic at 1.4:1, I’m getting 1.25oz water and .85oz lye, which lines up with what I showed in the video. I don’t know what you got, but numbers are lining up over here.
Thanks for responding, I will check it again
Methylated spirits is also a good substitute, we can buy it in a hardware store. Another excellent and informative video, thank you
Meth-ies!, as my husband the all-things-wood enthusiast calls it. Essential to his shellac hobby. Neat.
For the purposes of a soap meant to be used on the body, I would steer clear of methylated spirits IE denatured alcohol. Great in cleaning products, but because methanol is absorbed by the skin more easily and with a higher likelihood of toxicity as compared to ethanol, not something I would recommend as a substitute. Would be nice, though; so easy to find!
@@MrsSoapAndClay interesting, in Western Australia all of our methylated spirits do not contain methanol, effective from 1st July 1917.
What a funny name for something that doesn’t contain methanol! Talk about confusing! 😂
@@MrsSoapAndClay it did once, and i suppose they didn't want to change the name, hahaha
I make candles, massage candles, melts, various body balms plus the only way I make my soaps is using MP bases but I add oils, clays and butters that only enhance them.. plus I add some botanicals
Dear, does this soap sweat
I need to figure out how to make my own M&P without coconut oil! 😁
That will have to be my test!
You can totally do it! You use a lot of babassu, yeah? Easy substitute!
@@MrsSoapAndClay that’s what I’m going to try.
Is perfumers alcohol the same?
That is a great question! And one that I can’t answer across the board, as perfumer’s alcohol is denatured in a number of ways, using dozens of potential ingredients to make it taste bad for human consumption. Always check the data pages before using; anything with methanol I would avoid as it is highly toxic at tiny amounts and absorbs through the skin rather easily. Perfumer’s alcohol that contains bitrex as the agent that makes it taste bad is very good for soap as it’s reasonably harmless.
Not sure if i missed it but is it necessary to use propylene glycol or what alternative is there
Propylene glycol is not used in this recipe, so definitely not necessary. As for an alternative to glycerin (which is not the same thing), there are alternative solvents. Have fun!
Can propylene Glycol be used instead of glycerine?
Oops, instead of the everclear...?
Yup, Chef put a video up recently using propylene glycol - go check it out!
You should do a recipie for a nice melt and pour for the face!
Also, I made this today and it turned out great. I did a PH test and it came out to 11.35. Isn't that too high? Is there a way to bring down the P.H.?
@@MrsSoapAndClayI'm not familiar with Chef, can you provide their YT channel name or link? Ty for the informative videos!
Please can you pls give the recipe in percentages
Yes, please give us the recipe? I don't see it anywhere in the video, other than mention of the solvents.
Please, Can i use methanol in place of ethanol ?
Given the high risk of toxicity, the ease with which the skin absorbs methanol, and the frequent warnings from the FDA regarding soap and sanitizer products containing merely trace amounts of methanol, I would definitely not use methanol in any product that comes in contact with skin.
Did I miss the recipe?
I’m gonna go with yes, based on this comment.
It flashed across the screen - I found it! 0% superfat, 25% water by oil weight, 1:1.4 lye to water ratio, then 70% Coconut Oil (3.5 oz in this batch she makes) and 30% Stearic Acid (1.5 oz in her batch here). Then she lists the amounts of solvents -- 10 oz Sugar, 10 oz Glycerin, and 5 oz Alcohol, so they are in that 2:2:1 ratio. I hope that helps! :)
