A long time ago, soap was
A long time ago, soap was made with a hot process method. That was probably what you watched. Soap was cooked for hours.
Now we're using a cold process method. You melt the oils and remove it from heat. Add lye solution and let it just sit for 24 hours. It generates it's own heat.
We don't have any instructions on the hot process method here on this site, but the cold process method is here in the recipes section under how to make soap from scratch.
Yor favorite recipe
I am new at making soap and have used only the "melt and pour" soaps, but you recipe sounds interesting.
Do you have to heat that. I remember my mother making soap when I was a child and can remeber her cooking something (might have been rendering the lard). Thanks for any help you can give us.
Super Easy Soap
It will dry better if you use less liquid. I'm guessing 5 cups of our Soap Noodles shredded soap is about a pound, so you should be using only 1 cup of liquid. Your soaps will be much prettier when they dry.
When you use excess liquid it will shrink all out of shape with it being sunken in the middle of the bar. As you found out, not real attractive. But, cutting back on the liquid is the cure for that. :)

super easy soap
Hi there....i've always been the type to not follow a recipe and just do it by trial and error. I get alot of compliments on my soap and all i do is measure about 5 cups of the soap noodle soap and add about 1 1/2 cups of soy milk, melt it in the oven and when it is a soupy texture i add my fragrance and mix my powdered color with sweet almond oil, pour into molds and pop into the freezer for about an hour, i only like my soap to cure for like a week before i sell it because i don't like how it looks when it's all dried and shrunk. I've never had a problem with lather and all my customers are happy with it. Thanks.....good luck

We've found a wonderful
We've found a wonderful balance using the following oils:
Coconut Oil - 20%
Olive Pomace Oil - 40%
Palm Kernel Oil - 40%
5% superfatted
Plug these oils into a lye calculator, for the amount of soap in pounds you want to produce. Also, ask for your water and lye weights in grams as this gets you as close as possible to an accurate weight on your digital scale.

I'm trying to start my own business and need a good soap recipe. I would really appreciate any help. Also any other recipes that you would be willing to share. Thanks everyone!!
Lots of lather
Well, when you have lots of lather you don't have lots of mild. Lather is one of the things that makes it more harsh. So you have to find a happy middle ground.
100% coconut oil soap would be super hard, almost brittle and have oodles of lather. But it is really going to strip all moisture out of the skin. People make that kind of soap for bathing in the ocean because its great in salt water. Or for super oily skin.
Palm oil is a great main fat for soap, it is pretty hard as soap and it lathers quite well.
I think you might be wasting your money by putting any grapeseed extract in there. I doubt any of its properties of keeping oils from turning rancid would survive saponification. But that's just my opinion.
Okay,
Here is one I wrote with our lye calculator (see link near top of page).
It is a 9% superfat soap. It yeilds 63.50 ounces of soap.
Palm Oil: 26 ounces
Coconut Oil: 7 ounces
Almond Oil: 2 ounces
Jojoba Oil: 2 ounces
Shea Butter: 5 ounces
Sodium Hydroxide (Lye): 5.5 ounces
Cold Water: 16 ounces
Everything is weighed, not volume, so use an electronic scale.
The coconut oil is a bit higher percentage than it should be, I think, but being 9% superfat and having all those great oils in there probably will counteract the coconut soap's dryness.
Anyway, that is my best shot at it. :)
