🍯 Honey and oat cold process soap with beeswax

What an interesting recipe this is! I'm not sure which one I like better, the cold process or hot process version, but it was great to finally try the cold process method for my honey and oat soap with beeswax - and I'm pleased to say I learned quite a bit along the way!

Making cold process soap with honey and beeswax can be quite challenging. All the details and the full recipe for this video, including considerations, tips and my reflections on the recipe (including hot V cold process) are here:

Oh Elly what an honor, I bet your heart took a big thump on hearing it.

[sonjacohn]

Wow! That is a real honor that Prem is helping the women to start a soaping business using your recipes. Great suggestion to plant the trees in your name. You deserve it. Nice video again, Elly! Thank you!

[kaitlynwood]

You have the sweetest voice and humor! I really enjoy your tutorials.

Hi Elly. Brilliant idea that Prem had to honour you. I learnt most of my soap making skills watching your videos too. Because they’re complete and you do a great job explaining what you’re doing. Thank you for that.

[winusuren]

Wonderful ma'am. You are an inspiration for so many people. I usually watch soap making videos just for relaxation but I've learnt a lot from your videos and it has inspired me to make my own soap. I've made a few batches for my family members as well as sold out some of them. Thank you so much for your tutorials. Love from Tamilnadu ❤️❤️

Greetings Elly, I am honored that I have come in your Video it is so delightful. I am going to circulate video to Tribal people. Thanks Elly. Keep doing good work.

[lizetteeckman]

Oh, wow! The story about the women in India is so wonderful! What an honor. I'm actually an aspiring beekeeper so I'll be using my own honey and probably my own beeswax when I work up the courage to make this recipe. You're the best Elly!

I loved how you shared and embraced the crack in your soap. It makes learning fun and learning from our mistakes. I feel motivated every time I watch your videos. The plant of trees in your honor was beautiful, that's how you know, you are helping humanity with your gift. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 Elly.

How amazing to have a tree planted in your honour, and to know that your videos are helping women to improve their lives. I have always used beeswax in my soap and usually combine lye and oils at around 50-55C with no problems. I make a soap with oatmeal (but no honey), which I add after a very light trace. I have never had that volcano happen. I do add honey to another of my soaps, again with no volcano.
