I wanted to tell you that a) I love your calm voice B) I made soap for years and stopped for a few years too...when I went back to making it - 3 batches ina row failed. I was so depressed and unhappy. I listened to your video and I was inspired and felt encouraged. Thanks to YOU! I am off to making batches every week. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Your now my hero

You're too hard on yourself. Your soap is beautiful! I love hp soap making and I'm not to big on the fancy soaps. I like simple and natural. Thanks for the video!

How generous of you to continually share so much information with us.

I loved this soap

[reaganconserv]

I learned to never stir or lift the lid. wait until the volcano stage. then stir if you must :-)

I made this recipe, and it is my go to, I shared a bar with a family member and she loves it. I use our honey and wax from our hives. I shared a bar with my mom and her skin is not as dry as it use to be. Thank you so much for sharing. I doubled it so it last me longer. Amazing recipe for dry skin. I used bentonite clay and I didn't add the titanium dioxide. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it.

I'd been thinking of making soap and this looks fairly easy for a first try. Thank you!

[Leah_Tewari]

Your channel is the best and you explain things so clearly. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge. 🙏🏽❤️

[Mazmefeth]

Thank you so much Elly ! I made my first try of HP soap today, and it turns out pretty satisfying. I wouldn't have done it without your advices and generosity. You gave me the confidence I lacked :) Again, thank you so much !!

Lovely soap. I only cook mine for about 20 mins and it's done, have never used ph strips but do the 'zap' test then use a small piece to wash my hands. I also only mix to emulsification not trace but I know what you mean about fiddling with it haha. I always post your beginner soap making recipe for people that are wanting to learn.

[jennysmith]

Would love to incorporate goats milk (replacing water in lye mixture) and thought it might be nice in this recipe. Have you tried it?

[umgamal]

Hi Elliy what different between calld and hot soup?

[longarmsupplies]

Thank you! I've been wanting to make a batch like this for a while...using my own honey, beeswax and oats.

[taxiridefun]

I made this soap and it turned out just exactly like your pictures it is the nicest soap only what I did was I let it cure for 6 weeks even though it was a hot process soap and it just made it heavenly

[dulcineasintoboso]

Well explained and clear. I've learnt a lot watching this video.
Here I leave my "like". Thanks for sharing your art.
Warm regards from the Canaries.

Dear Elly, thank you, I love the way you make soap and explain everything. How many percent does the sodium hydroxide have to have? Love from Germany

[tosca...]

It must be lovely being family or friends of yours - there is so much bounty emanating from your kitchen bench and table and you are always so sweet and positive about, well, everyday stuff. It's refreshing in our weird world at the moment. You always make me feel grounded in a positive way, and also of treading lightly on the planet. I haven't made any soaps yet (I think I mentioned already you make me *want* to do it ;)) but my sourdough bread making was transformed after watching your tutorials. Thanks for another cruisy trip into the world of soap 🧚‍♀️💐 😊

[IStalks]

May I ask at what temperature did you mix lye and oils? Also did you cook throughout in 'High' in the crockpot?'

[gspoonemore]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I am a Newby at soap making and have only done cold process. This is so much easier. To be able to cut the fragrance in half is a huge blessing. I used the same recipe I used in cold process and this came out so much better. Can’t wait to unmold and cut!

[elizabethfrancis]

Brand new to beekeeping and looking for ways to use my beeswax and this is one way I can definitely use it but I think your wax was super dark cause they didn't clean the wax very much(wax always comes out dirty and you have to clean it several times to get the golden color)

[seamrog]

great video!
Does your soap ever spoil? are broad spectrum preservatives needed?
Thanks
Bramble Berry should talk with you!
