hi everyone sorry I take forever to approve comments/respond... I'm super busy and I have a new youtube channel so this is kinda abandoned here.. the blog post is still up though. Again this is a video I put up very fast to show the PROCESS used to make liquid soap, beyond that play with your own ingredients to create something that works for what you'd like... shampoo, laundry, body wash.. and have fun!! Thanks

Great video! Heading to the blog. Just started making hot processed soap and then read that making liquid is a different process.  I am a visual learning and great videos like yours have helped me to understand the process better than reading the directions alone. Dee

@sexyladydee50 Thank you Dee!

I went to your blog for the recipe (love it, btw, will def be going back to look at more recipes), but I couldn't find it. What date did you post it? (I probably looked straight at it like the other day when I was looking for my yogurt and it was right in front of my face, lol.)

@poison72672 truth! Isnt her voice lovely?

I'll say it one last time... the ingredients will never be posted on youtube. You guys can leave nasty comments all you like, and I will continue to delete them. If its too hard for you to go to my blog to read the ingredients, you probably shouldnt be attempting to make handmade soap. I'm not kidding. We're talking about lye, high heat, and multiple steps. If you seriously cant handle clicking a link in the description and going to my blog.. you probably cant handle soapmaking.

SERIOUSLY people.. READ THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION. I put this up to help people out, but you need to HELP YOURSELF too. I dont need to be getting hundreds of comments in my inbox claiming that I didnt provide measurements or asking where the measurements are. THEY ARE ON THE BLOG. I will not respond to any more questions of where they are. This was meant to help, not to become time consuming for me, and I do not deserve nor will I tolerate rude snippy comments. READ.

Hi and I really like your video.... Ive tried it and it worked!!! Thanks... :) BTW what is the name of the band playing the music in your vid??? Thx

[LuminousBoutique]

@KharismaticKayteh Hiya :) Yep you need the KOH to make soap, you cant make true soap without lye - its what converts the fats into soap as we know it!

@wolf360090 some people find olive to be heavy on the hair, I'd start with coconut, castor, and perhaps some jojoba!

@USAIRGAL as the blog post says, its not a true castile....

[orgullonegro]

@LuminousBoutique LOVE your comment haha!! now, can this soap be used on the body, washing clothes, etc?

[USAIRGAL]

Great video, but misleading that it says liquid castile soap. This is a basic liquid soap recipe made with 40% olive oil. Far from being a liquid castile soap.

Watch the video and use a lye calculator (available at most soaping websites). Click on liquid soap and enter in your olive oil amount, 0% superfat and you will get what you want. East to do.
