Soap Making Oatmeal, Milk and Honey Hot Process (HP) soap Pt 1

This is my 2nd HP soap video. I am making Oatmeal, Milk & Honey soap.
Please check out my FB page for my upcoming contest!

Here is a recipe that I found online, you can exchange oils if you like just; run it though a lye calculator before proceeding with the recipe:

Did you add the stearic acid, or did you drop it out? I know my Palm has stearic acid in it.
I really love your vids. Thanks so much for them! Your first HP video gave me the courage to give it a try.

No, there isn't Milk in the recipe. The name of the Fragrance oil used was Oatmeal, Milk & Honey. Thanks for your question.

[TheSoapMakingMaven]

No, you don't. You can use an oven-safe pot in the oven on a low setting like 200 Degrees. I also know some people that have used a cook top, but I would be VERY caution especially with a gas cook top. Thanks for the comment!

Very informative video. I love the way you explain everything and how easy you make it look

[TheSoapMakingMaven]

Thanks for your comment, we can agree that soap-making can be dangerous, but if you take the necessary precautions then it can be a safe and enjoyable experience. Secondly, I do allow my Lye to sit and cool while the oils melt, so I am not using extra hot lye with extra hot oil.

Your videos are very informative and enjoyable to watch . I've never made hot processed soap before. Maybe I'll make a batch:)

[jesusdelgado]

I have a an extreme question. How would you say you spend exactly on each batch of soap that you make. How many bars do you get out of each batch?

I am trying to create my own little soap company and sell them as a living. Most of the soaps out there have horrible chemicals that do more harm than good..


Thank you :D

[TheSoapMakingMaven]

@MrMfloor Yes, you did, I believe when I added the Honey to the soap, since the soap was very hot at the time, it started to sizzle.

[TheSoapMakingMaven]

@IereBabe It will depend on your crock pot as some may be hotter than others, but normally it take my soap about 1.5 hrs to cook from start to finish.

Thanks so much for sharing this soaping video..I have never made HP soap so this is very helpful to me.Louise

Is there milk in your soap as the title states?

[tthanhnga]

The link to above recipe website was no longer available. Appreciate if you could post the recipe please

[TheSoapMakingMaven]

I know I am super late, but I appreciate your comment and I am sure your soap came out lovely.

[adamesmercedes]

Very nice video and thank you for your help with soap making. I really appreciate your informaton. God Bless

[TheSoapMakingMaven]

I do get my food grade lye from Essential Depot. I just thought it would be worth trying getting something locally.

[TheSoapMakingMaven]

@IereBabe For the most part any CP recipe can be used for HP, but I would "tweek" the CP recipe if it has more that 40% solid oils/butters because I find that HP soap perform better when there is a higher percentage of liquid oils. For example 30% Olive Oil 15% Rice Bran 25% Palm Oil 15% Coconut Oil 10% Soybean Oil 5% Castor is something that I would use for HP. Thanks for watching! Happy Soaping :)

@barstowmama Yes, Goat's milk soap will work, but, do some more research as you may have to so a 1/2 water 1/2 goat milks and add the goats milk at the end of the cook, to prevent scorching the milk.

Thank you Helen for sharing your gift, I love this video. Thanks have a great day. :D

As long as it's 100% caustic soda it's fine. Just check the label; some drain cleaners have other stuff added and should be avoided, but if there are no additives there's no reason not to buy it.

Hi this is Regina, I make handmade soaps CP mainly, i do once in awhile do HP bought as a personal opinion i really don't like HP, bc i use a lot of goats milk in my soaps and i had used goats milk before in HP and no matter how low u put your setting it's going to burn the milk, bc goats milk is really fat.. so i would just stay with your H20 it works way better.. but i stay with CP process anyways, HP would be used if you need it right away, i don't, but i let mine CP cure for 3 wks.. good lk.
