What an irresponsible video - given the dangerous ingredients used - why bother with all that when you could go out and buy your own soap instead of dabbling in something more suited to a qualified person which could prove catastrophic especially in the wrong hands - you do not give out proper instructions/contraindications unlike other more responsible tutorials eg "ourharps" . One needs to know about alkalines/ph properties generally before experimenting with such dangerous ingredients.

@ella7903 First of all I am NOT experimenting. Secondly I am well qualified. I have been making soap since I was a kid, learning from my grandmother. I know the dangers involved, and if handled safely and properly it's relatively safe. I DO warn people of the dangers and if you want to buy your soap at the store that has an ingredient list longer than your comment, go right ahead. I just prefer to control the ingredients and quality of the soaps i wash my body with!

Do you test your soap for alkalinity before they cure or after they cure? and if so, how do you test your soap to make sure no lye is present. I am afraid to give away my soaps because of this. I am sure of mymeasurements, but I still want to be safe before I give them away

@msanjanetta i use ph test strips after they cure, if the ph is too high i cure longer

This is one of the best videos on home soapmaking I've seen. Correct procedure, no over-reactive fear of lye (super caution, but it's not so scary you can't use it) and measuring, instead of weighing. If you want a consistent product measuring will ensure it every time. Keep the lye scoop with the lye! I feel stupid. It's such an easy and obvious idea. I never thought about it. Slapping forehead. This video rocks and if you don't know what lye is, please don't make soap till you do.

Your voice kind of sounds like Jennifer Tilley. I love it!

@ella7903 Those "more organic and what not soaps" would still involve lye though. No lye, no soap, so I'm not sure what kind of soap you're talking about..?

Also, soap in stores is rarely traditional, in factory's they take out all the good stuff..

And Melissa is telling you plenty, if you're dumb enough to try this without reading up on it first then that's not really her fault, she warned you (not you, but people in general)..

@nixcole44 I would say definitely NOT - stick to more natural or organic soap maing tutorials on Youtube.
