I roll my own olive oil soap. Stupid easy and cheap. Itās just oil, lye and water. I was too cheap to get the chemical that hardens it quickly, didnāt realize how little it takes and how inexpensive a fat bottle was. Next time!
I could rant forever, but I LOVE my soap. Gets me really clean without being oily or perfumy. For a half-hour of work I can make a year supply. Pro-tip: throw the molds in the HVAC intake to dry. Out of the way and dries fast! Another tip: If itās just for you, get the cheapest silicone molds money can buy. Quite a bit of difference in price out there.
Damn interesting how he ācleansā it so it doesnāt stink. Guess Iām saving my grease now!
I started making soap in 2016 just to see if I could figure it out. Now Iām pretty good at it and have a lot of fun with different colors and smells. I normally donāt use 100% olive oil, though. An equal-parts mixture of Canola, Olive, and Coconut oil is what I try to use, but Iāve also had good luck with āwhatever cooking oil I have on handā.
ngl, thatās kinda cool. Fat/oil is the primary ingredient in soap, and the process is not difficult, so if youāve got a lot you were just going to throw away, may as well.
He blends it with water and cools it, scrapes the fat off the top, rinse and repeat until happy. More work than just getting a giant can of cheapo olive oil, but free fat is free fat!
