In this week's tutorial I show you how to make your own handmade soap from scratch! It's not difficult and can easily be made using just 4 ingredients- canola oil, olive oil, water, and sodium hydroxide (lye). I came up with this recipe myself and it does not include any fragrances or colors. I wanted to keep it nice and simple for you guys.

This is just an introduction to soapmaking. If you want to take it a step further I recommend you do your research and learn as much about soapmaking as you can because there are a lot of different factors that play a role in the chemical process that is creating soap.

This video is fully captioned for the hearing impaired.

  • I never wanted to work with lye to make soap till I watched your vid. What an excellent job you did teaching!

  • @TheAnswerJan Thanks! I was scared to too at first until I did more research and saw that everyone did it and didn't have a problem. I had my husband mix my first batch and then I did the rest. As long as you're careful, know what you are doing and stick to your recipes it's a lot of fun. :o)
