All soap has lye in ...
All soap has lye in it. If it doesn't then it's a detergent, which very bad? for the skin. The lye "matches up" with the oil used in the recipe and becomes soap. This process is called sopanofication. The soap has to cure for several weeks for all the lye to bond with the oils to become soap. Typically this happens in 4-6 weeks. You can speed this process up by doing what is called Hot Process, which uses heat to speed up the sopanofication process.

You have to let the ...
You have to let the lye turn into? soap, and this can take several weeks. If you use it too soon, the soap will be very bad for your skin. The bar also has to try out, and get hard. It's best to let your soap cure for 4-6 weeks.

This is a fantastic video. I made my first batch of soap? in years today and I watched your video before hand to just get a refresher. It is tempting to peek at the soaps, isn't it? I can't wait until tomorrow when I can pull it out of the molds. Thanks for the vid!

Thank you for a ...
Thank you for a brilliant soap making video. Yon seem really nice. By the? way your voice is real gentle sounding.

Wow, you've taught ...
Wow, you've taught over 10,000 people how to make soap! Congratulations! Woudln't it be nice if everyone could get away from the toxic bars sold in the grocery store! You did a 5* job. Beats me why? no one rated already!

Distilled or ...
Distilled or bottled water from a good source are best. Some tap water? contains minerals that can do weird things in soap. Usually, these contaminants wind up floating and forming a "skin" at the top of the lye/water mixture, so you'll likely know they are there.

thank you friend ...
thank you friend and you are right if not whoever finds a vagetable soap base will become a trillionare! lol! but you answered my doubt.. "Lye is extremely toxic, but if soap is made correctly, there is no lye in the soap" nice info again THANK YOU!! also what do you think about making Soap? with Pure 1000% clean Distilled Water instead Purified? i dont want Sodium Fluoride in my Soap.. =/

I'm not sure what ...
I'm not sure what you mean by "conventional soap." This is the soapmaking method that has been used for centuries. Lye is extremely toxic, but if? soap is made correctly, there is no lye in the soap. Please see our video "The Chemistry of Soapmaking" for an explanation. You cannot make soap without lye.

Check out our other ...
Check out our other video "The Chemistry? of Soap Making". It explains all of this. =)

How come it takes weeks to use the soap like you mentioned at the end, and why does soap? has to use lye?

This really is a ...
This really is a great video - thank you for enforcing good safety practices! I'm recommending this video to people who have asked me to? teach them to soap !

Great video, I've ...
Great video, I've been researching for over a year on how to make soap via cold process method, and this is one of the best videos I've seen, good work :) I am wondering though, where do you get your lye? I am having? an *incredibly* difficult time finding it, other than online... I hate buying things from online so I avoid it as much as possible. I've tried Lowe's, they said they didn't have it? Thanks for your answer :)

I always? have a ...
I always? have a notebook on hand, even for recipes I have done a hundred time.

I don't reuse mine ...
I don't reuse mine for cooking because I sell my soap. Some folks have extreme allergies to think such as peanut oil, and I'd hate to have cross? contamination. However, if you are only using your soap and food for yourself, a run through the dishwasher should get your items clean enough to use for cooking. Cheers!

The soap turns into ...
The soap turns into a gel and gets darker and may? even boil up a little in the center. It all depends on the type of mold you are using and how well you have insulated it. People tend to get really finicky during this stage and start poking around, stirring, temp testing,etc. We think it's best to just leave it alone! =)

this is the first ...
this is the first time I have seen rather than? read about this being done. You make it look easy, and it really isn't that difficult - not once you get the steps down - I wonder, do you have a list you look at while working to remind you what to do next? I wish I had a friend who would like to try this with me! the finished soap looks beautiful!
