Hello❤ In this soap making video I share a simple way to make handmade soap extra nourishing to the skin🥑 Thank you for watching! Please wear proper safety equipment when making soap.

Extra nourishing handmade soap recipe with fresh avocado:

Oils:
138 g olive oil (23%)
90 g avocado oil (15%)
42 g castor oil (7%)
150 g coconut oil (25%)
90 g cocoa butter (15%)
90 g shea butter (15%)

Lye solution:
117 g distilled water
89.9 g sodium hydroxide (83.9 g if not using citric acid)

(~41% lye concentration, 4% superfat)

Additives:
10 g citric acid
55 g avocado
2 tsp french green clay
½ tsp titanium dioxide
⅛ tsp green oxide
10 ml bamboo fragrance oil

Cure the soap for about 4 weeks before using it on your skin.

○ Citric acid information

When citric acid and sodium hydroxide lye (NaOH) are combined, sodium citrate is created. Sodium citrate works as a chelator in soap.

A chelator traps metal ions such as calcium and magnesium that can be found in tap water.

These metal contaminants can cause rancidity and soap scum in handmade soap.

A chelator binds to these metals so that they can’t bind to the soap molecules. This way the soap won’t react with them and the soap's lather improves + shelf life increases.

Citric acid does not lower the pH of soap. Instead it consumes some of the lye and increases the superfat. Add 6 g extra lye for every 10 g of citric acid added to a soap recipe if you want to keep the superfat % at the same level.

How much citric acid should be added to soap?

Usage rate in bar soap is 1-2% of the oil weight.

How to use citric acid

Add citric acid to the distilled water and dissolve completely before adding the lye, or make a separate solution of citric acid and distilled water and add to the oils.

I have been soaping many years now and I’ve watched a LOT of soap videos and these are the most beautiful and informative that I’ve ever seen.
I love the calm serene music and written instructions as opposed to talking.
I’m a full time caregiver for my Mom with advanced Alzheimer’s and some days are rough. I like to watch these before bed as it completely calms my mind and spirit.
Thank you for such wonderful informative videos.

Can you add stearic acid to these recipes to make the soap more solid? How much can add to this recipe?

Thank you so much for your video. I did a lot of research for almost a year before I began to make cold process soap and have been making soap for a little of a year now. The soap I make is good but I find it drying to my skin. I do have dry, sensitive skin from medications for s Kidney disease. I keep looking and trying new recipes to help my dry skin feel soft and moisturized. I love watching your videos, they are so calming and informative. Thanks again.💚💚💚

I always watch your videos.one of my favourite soap making videos.
Just a question..adding raw avocado doesn't catch fungus to the soap?

Thanks for the video it’s amazing, my only question is will the soap have the same shelf life when using raw avocado? Thanks ahead

I just discovered your channel and as most have shared, your presentation truly brings a tranquility to soaping!
Also, I have been helped as a new soaper to see such a fluid, consistent pattern in your technique.
A question, please- what is your process after soap goes into the mold before unmolding/cutting? All your soaps are completely uniform and so beautiful. Thank you for your sharing your recipes and look forward to soamping this recipe.

I made this recipe . The smell of avocado fruit covered the smell of oils ( coconut oil, cocoa butter etc) . First notice, the avocado doesn't smell good, I don't recommend it for soap. Second notice, it feels like i paid for nothing ( about the oils ) as none of them can be smelled at the soap because od the reason i said at the beginning.

What a beautiful soap making video. I love how the avocado turned out in your soap. You explained the citric acid perfectly. Molly is gorgeous 😊

Thank you for your lovely video. May I ask you how to calculate the weight of avocado (or something else - such as carrot, pumpkin etc) into our batch? because I do not have exactly the same oil or butter as yours so I have to adapt the recipe according to what I have. Thank you in advance.

This will not get licensed due to the fresh wet ingredients. Just like aloe gel or fresh carrot pulp. It works great for the skin, but if you want to sell it, you can only use the avocado oil. Not the pulp.

Thanks so much for sharing recipe. Soap looks gorgeous & spa like 😍.
May I know if you use water discount for the avocado purée? Just wonder if the avocado purée would discolour / turn brown after curing 5-6 weeks? Would be sad if it looses the lovely calm green color.
