Soap Making Made Simple | What I've Learned

Welcome to the 1870s Homestead! I'm Rachel, and today I'm excited to share my soap-making process with you. Every year, I make a big batch of soap for our household, and now with our Farm Stand, I'm preparing soaps for the fall and Christmas seasons. Although I started as a novice in 2018, I've gained confidence over the years, sticking to simple, basic recipes. In this video, I'll walk you through my go-to Castile-type soap recipe, which includes olive and coconut oils, as well as a few other ingredients like shea butter, sweet almond oil, and essential oils. I'll also share my tips for a smooth and efficient process, from weighing oils to mixing lye, and adding fun mix-ins like coffee grounds and oatmeal. Join me as I take you step-by-step through the soap-making journey, ensuring you have all the information you need to create your own beautiful and nourishing soaps at home ♥
