Making my 100% Olive Oil Castile Soap

Just a quick video that I told another YouTube user I would upload a video of. Here I am making my 100% Olive Oil Castile Soap, made from 100% Pure Olive Oil straight from relatives in Italy.
This soap is perfect for babies, facial ceansing and just for when you want a super mild, moisturizing, scent-free and color-free soap.

Thanks For Watching! :0)

How much olive oil and how much lye and water do you use for this recipe?

[WickedScentuals]

@kajakarine I really appreciate your question, but I don't give out any of my recipes. I'm sorry, but if you do a search, I'm sure you could find a recipe online. Or you could just run it through a lye calculator with the amount of olive oil you want to use and it will give you the appropriate lye/water amounts. I don't remember for sure, but The Soapmaker's Companion book might give a Castile Soap recipe. Hope that helps a bit! :0)

Aloha, mahalo nui loa for sharing!  Does it become a firm bar of soap or would it be considered a softer bar of soap. Thanks so much. Aloha nui!

@kupunaandmapuana Aloha!! :0) This will become a very hard bar of soap if left to completely cure. It does not hold up as well in water as a soap containing some harder oils/butters, though, so it really needs to be able to dry well between uses. Thanks So Much for watching and commenting!! :0)

Thank you. I'll google for the lye calculator. :)
