Darling this is the best video i found on youtube for making castile soaps

[RoyaltySoaps]

Oooo boy! A cruise! How delightful! Have loads of fun and I just can't wait to see your new videos using the liquid castille soap!

KOH is Potassium Hydroxide. It is the chemical necesary to make liquid soap.
NaOH Is Sodium Hydroxide. It is the chemical necessary to make Bar soap.

[MacMorrighan]

Oh, and do you have any written directions of this recipe that I could print out?

[Lolla-Mind-Lift]

This is the second time I watch this recipe and I love it!

[ItwaterDAME]

I made this but I added the glycerin with the oils, and it came out great. Thanks for a great guide and once my soap set's over night I'll find out how well it works

[macystarie]

Did I miss the amount of glycerin you had added to the KOH? Would love to try this!!! Can’t wait!

I love Catherine's book... it provides wonderful information. But sometimes seeing how it is done make things easier to understand. 1-2% is recommended for eo's + fo's but you should always check with your fragrance supplier.

Castile soap is the best!  Thanks for sharing your recipe.

When you purchase a cookbook, in essence you are purchasing the right to use the recipes. However, when an 'artist' posts a video they are the owner to its rights. Youtube is simply the vehicle in which they use to freely promote it. So when the work is copied {either blatantly or implied}, the artist + his/her work has been compromised. All of the recipes + techniques that I post on Soaping101 are free to use for personal use but not for profit. Hope I was helpful in my explanation :)

I could not find the calculator with glycerin; could you tell which did you use, or how to figure out how many of KOH we need in our recipe? And do we have to use glycerin in a liquid soap? I’ll be grateful for a hint :)

Hey! nobody told me class was a DAY early this week! Great tutorial Teach, as usual. Since using other soapmakers products and making my own CP soap I have gone off liquid soaps. This one looks good and I have the ingredients so I might give it a try. Thanks Teach. Have a great cruise. Luv, Rene x

[patwhite]

Great video. I have been reading about making castile soap and became more confused the more I read. Now it all makes sense. Can't wait to make some.

THANK YOU so much! I made this today for the first time and it came out perfect. Hope it thickens after sequestering. If not, I've learned how to thicken it with a saline solution. I so appreciate you for sharing.

[soaping]

Yes, absolutely. It works for any liquid soap recipe. Be sure to run your oils through a lye calculator :)

[purpleherbsoap]

Thats brilliant teach! I've made it this way once before and it tuned out great. Its lovely to see you do it as I couldn't find much info about this method at the time. Thanks and enjoy your cruise! Emma.

Glycerin soap is the only way I make my liquid soap now, I love it. Esp for laundry soap. I don't cook mine though, once I see bubbles I cover it and let it sit till the next day then dilute. I've never seen it get that thick though at trace, must be my ingredients. Have a nice vacation!

[soaping]

I agree, this process sure does make liquid soap easier. Thanks Emma!

[CCCpetmassage]

I tried your recipe for liquid Castile soap and it worked the first time! Thank you so much. However, could you please confirm the measure of the KOH is dry or liquid? I measured in a measuring cup and it is considerably more than weighing on a scale. Thanks!

Love your videos. I’ve been doing Bath/Skin products for a few years and just started last year with cold process. Tks for all the great tips
