How to Make Lye Soap : How to Decorate Finished Homemade Lye Soap

[sunshyneNrainxx]

You have no idea what you've been wAshing with. Look up the ingredients if you don't believe me. And if there's any vegans out there... Sodium tallowate is rendered animal fat. It's in most commercial soap.... Hence they can claim it's moisturizing. Yuck

[sunshyneNrainxx]

The PH level is similar. Not the ingredients. Commercial soap is made with crude cheap oils then the glycerine is stripped from it and they add chemical stabilizers and bonding agents along with surfactants to bind what's left. They can't even call it soap anymore. That's why it's labelled " body bar" or something like deodorant bar. Because it's no longer natural it's considered a comestic and therefore has FDA requirements.

just as you said, it's pretty much the same as commercially made soap, so why would you go to the trouble of making your own?

@watusernameshudiuse

I personally want to make homemade soap because of allergies to many cosmetic ingredients. Further, 99 percent of the bar soap that you can buy at stores like Walmart contains antibacterial agents which men can use with no ill effects but many women cannot (they cause bladder and yeast infections). The soaps like Dove that don't have antibacterial ingredients have comedogenic (acne causing) ingredients made from animal fat.

So, those are my reasons:)

How can a PH of 10 be good, when your skin natural PH is 4.....that is not good. Paraben, mineral oil, and petroleum is not healthy for the skin.

You sound like Samantha from Bewitched.

I just don't understand why you have this beautiful video, very well done but then have the wording OVER her hands so we can't see what she is doing.. :-(

I made soap and its been a week and the soap is still soft as a brownie. what have I done wrong?

I used 3 liters of olive oil , 3liters of water and 500ml of lye. can anybody help me? thank

[pampamy]

@bombonasecino1 i run your "recipe" in soapcalc dot com and first of all, 3 liters may not be equal in weight. You want to weight the oil always. Then, you just used 2 times the water needed for that amount of oil. (too much water!). and finally if you use the calculator you will see, in the "hardness" description that your get a 17 that is very soft, you need to be over 29 to be aceptably solid. hope you used preservant, because with that amount of water soap will rotten!!

more than half was about a stupid litmus test and two seconds on decoration. put that in your title so I wouldn't have wasted my time

[DebStep7]

I would ove to have seen this, but the words fill 3/4 of the screen! Is there some way to see more than her face?

[coralaisly]

@KawaiiBlackPixie i suppose that depends on your personal definition of 'to live' and whether you consider plants living to begin with. just as some people believe every living thing has a soul and others believe only humans do and others still don't believe in a soul at all. for fear of sounding like a hippie "it's all in the perception, man" lol :)

[thinpolice]

@KawaiiBlackPixie thats Fruitarianism.

[csewardsr]

The harshness of the soap has nothing to do with being cooked over a campfire. It has to do with using too much lye in relation to the amount of lard used. This woman is not an expert. Sorry!

[tjmfoi]

Can you explain harm negatively. eat what you want but debating quagmires of competing irrelevancies is ludicrous! Back to the great soap video....

[jbonham78]

come on people, its a decoration, not soap itself.

[bjjowett]

Absolutely! It's a contradiction in terms, completely.

[reika59]

why would u use wax on the soap...its not gonna dissolve...

[naz4bucks]

in science, that is called sustainable exploitation...

[imakeclay]

Did i miss something???

I thought that I was paying attention, athough..I may have fallen asleep, I think that the commercial was longer!!

[bjjowett]

I agree about beeswax, however, some vegetarians, wegans, or other people believe that it is 'morally' wrong to use animal by-products. I personally think that it is ludicrous. I believe that as long as the animal, insect, etc. is not purposely harmed, killed, or affected negatively in any way, then it is fine. Same with trees, or plants, I believe that as long as the twigs, trees, plants, etc. are naturally felled, then it is fine to use the materials.

[bjjowett]

Paraffin wax is toxic and bad. It totally negates the whole purpose of making and using traditional castile soap, whether it be solid or liquid.

[nagaempress]

I agree whats wrong with bees wax?

[Twilight0Princess]

what happens when the leaf come lose while your bathing?

[hunthicks]

It falls in the tub and you pick it out if it doesn't go down the drain...

[tessiebea08]

i don't know what to say

[mukwah1111]

Relatively safe? Hardly any decorating of the soap worth watching ?

[mihailex1]

you are doing a great job

[crookedcreekct]

I can't see her decorate the soap because of that darn "expert village" graphic. Geez.

[SilentStickFigureThr]

That IS annoying, isn't it? :-/

[chookter1]

Watch it on expert village, might not b there
