In this video I show you how I make cold process soap with fresh aloe vera gel.

To make this soap, I replaced the water in the recipe with aloe vera gel that I made from a plant I have at home. I learned how to extract the aloe vera gel watching this video from @Elly’s Everyday Soap Making :    • Making Cold Process Aloe Vera Soap - ...  

For the recipe I used olive oil, coconut oil & 3 different butters. I wanted to make this a very simple soap so I left it unscented and uncolored.

I calculate my recipes with this lye calculator: http://soapee.com/calculator

Cold process soap recipe with fresh aloe vera:

Cure the soap 4-6 weeks before using.
