Liquid Castile Soap Making - 100% olive oil liquid soap recipe - full tutorial with easy recipe
Liquid castile soap making is a truly satisfying soap project! This handmade, 100% olive oil liquid soap recipe is gentle on the skin, multipurpose and easy to make with this simple recipe and the process I demonstrate in this video. This liquid castile soap recipe is also great for face wash and it’s not a bad shampoo either! (if you’re into handmade soap shampoo that is). If you are new to liquid soap making, this would be a great place to start :)
The full written recipe (as shown in the video) is posted here on the Elly's Everyday website (including how to fragrance the soap and thicken it with a salt solution): www.ellyseveryday.com/ellys-e...

New to soap making? This is important!
Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide (lyes) used in soap making, in granular or flake form or in solution with water/other liquids, as well as raw soap batter, are highly corrosive and require careful and attentive handling and the proper use of personal protective equipment.

What was oil temperature when you mix pot hyd and glycerin in oil
@EllysEverdaySoapMaking I attempt two times this procedure but liquid Castile soap not making by this method. I use olive oil and then making lye KOH, add itno olive oil and blend until dissolve and then add glycerin but liquid Castile soap not made. Can you help me. Where I'm mistake, or can you add anything else hide recepe..
I'm a pharmacist and this reminds me of my pharmaceutical sciences labs in school. One thing about soap making - be aware of the salt forms you use. Here, Elly used sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as the lye. One can also use potassium hydroxide (KOH). The difference is that sodium will cause soaps to be harder whereas potassium salts will usually result in a liquid form. For example, when making bar soap you want sodium, but if you're making shampoo, you want to use potassium. Just something to keep in mind. Great video. Good job on the visuals and voiceovers. Just the facts, just the process, not a lot of extras that aren't needed. Two thumbs up. 👍👍
She used Potassium Hydroxide, not Sodium Hydroxide.
Thank you for this!
Do the amount of lye used differ depending on what oil? Like, what if I want to make soap using coconut oil?
@@nunyabiznes33 each oil has an own sapification number. You can calculate the amount of lye by yourself or use a lye calculator.
@@SavageSoapersClub TY. Just curious though, what lye is produced when using the traditional method of adding water to wood ash? Is that potassium hydroxide?
remember, the lye water becomes hot. So use a bowl that is ok with heat. Also, WATER goes into the bowl FIRST. the lye is added slowly into the water. Do not splash! Mix slowly. Most likely this was covered in the video you mentioned...but i mention here in case people do not watch the first video! goggles, gloves are a must.
This appears to be the best and least tedious liquid soap recipe I’ve ever seen! Thank you!
I have watched this video about 5 times over the past month and today I finally made this recipe today. I have been making and selling CP soap for about 6 years, this was my first attempt at liquid soap. Your video was so thorough! My adventure went smoothly and the soap is absolutely crystal clear and looks perfect! Thank you!
Wonderful! Thanks Robin, glad it was helpful for you :)
Can coconut oil replace the olive oil?
This is awesome!!!
I made this yesterday and it's made a beautiful liquid soap except mine is very green not clear although I can see through it if that make sense? I used distilled water to dilute it and extra virgin olive oil . Any ideas whybits not gone clear?
@@LR-kl7xbyou can use any oil. except automotive/motor/synthetic oil
Hi Ellie, I made this beautiful liquid soap recipe using extra virgin olive oil and the result was a very thick liquid soap but very effective and lathers up nicely. Thank you for your tutorials.
Elly you are so honest and thorough with whatever you are sharing with your audience. Thanks for the detailed instructions and recipe. I wish you a good day and I hope you remain as generous and authentic as you are. 🙏
Thank you, I hope so too! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Lovely! I’m a fellow Brisbane soap maker and while I’ve been making bars for 8+ years, I’ve never made liquid soap. Thanks for the inspiration, such wonderfully clear instructions 💕
Oh that's brilliant! Thanks for commenting, I'm always so happy to hear from other Brissy folk. Thanks for your kind words. This is a great recipe to start with for LS making.
You should start making soap videos too!
Thank you Elly
Thanks so loved this video and I have been watching so many learning about soap making as a complete beginner. Thank you!
Great information with simple instructions and clarity as to the why without too much science! Thanks Elly!
Love this video!! Had no idea you could make such a simple, liquid hand soap without using a load of additives, I'm definitely going to try this recipe out! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Thank you Elly I’ve been making beautiful liquid soap thanks to you
Thank you for sharing your recipe and technique and making it so accessible. For years I’ve made only bar soap, am blown away by your awesome liquid soap video. Inspiring!🙏
I’ve been wanting to try a liquid soap, especially to use just as a gentle bubble bath for my kids! This is the least intimidating recipe/process I have seen! Def saving this one, thank you 😍
Hi, Just wanted to say thank you for giving me the confidence to have a go at liquid soap making. Having made cold process many times before I was still nervous to give this a go but it really helped give me the confidence to give it a go :)
I have tried it and it turns amazing thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Lovely clear, concise instructional video. Thank you! Will try making this instead of buying it in future.
Thank you for the recipe Elly! You are a gem!
You're welcome Disha!
So helpful, I love your videos and I’m happy to see you online with this recipe. I’ve never seen liquid soap made without additional ingredients. Thank you!
Thanks Michelle, that's great! I love the simplicity of this. It's perfect.
Amazingly informative and fun video to watch! Now I’m inspired to make some of my own ❤
Thanks Elly, first time watcher; very enjoyable & educational!
I’m literally doing this right now for the first time ever (like ever making soap). I can’t believe how easy and simple this is thanks to you! I’m super excited and literally over here amazed at how simple this is! 😭😭😭 Thank you soo much Elly! ❤️
I have hope that someday I will be able to make all my own health and beauty products with my family and sell them too. This video has inspired me. Thank you so much 🙏
You're welcome Alex, thank you! I don't make all of my own products, but a few of the important ones :)
I would loooove to try this some day!! Thanks for the easy breakdown
Hello from atlanta ga 🤗🤗🤗 It has been a long time since I first thought about soap making. Now your tutorial has me curious about making some . The process and your detailed step by step instructions seem easy to follow and not as time consuming as once it used to be. Great that it’s made in a crock pot…..who doesn’t have one in their kitchen 😊 I did go to your blog and read some ………this i believe I would enjoy trying…….definitely adding some fragrance too. Happy to be a new subscriber and looking forward to following along with you!
Thank you for this video! I make natural products too but I only made bar soap once! I wanted to get Castile soap but I am glad to see a more natural alternative Thank you so much!🙏🏾♥️💕
Just made this soap. Thank you so much for this recipe. 97% humidity so mine was marginally thinner though I used extra virgin. It works so beautifully, so glad you made it available to us.
Thanks - I've never made soap, but this might spur me on to give it a try. Well presented and great sound quality.
amazing, as always. Thank you, Elly!
Hi Elly, Loved this video and of course can't wait to try it. I read the recipe and instructions and so appreciate how thorough you are always! I started years ago with your lavender video and your guidance is always so GOOD! Thank you so much! xoxoLinda
Thank you Linda, that's wonderful! I appreciate that you read the recipe. I always put in as much detail as I think is needed. Thanks again.
Randomly came across this video and I love how clear your explanations are. Subbed and looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Thanks :)
Only just stumbled upon your channel today and I have learnt so much about soap making that it seems much easier than I had thought it was. I would love to be able to make all my soaps in my home, liquid and solid including shampoo bars. Also looking into doing all skincare as well. Sending love and many thanks for all your information from the blue mountains, nsw
Pleasant talking and the personality , clear and true live demonstration without any hesitations and intentions.. Appreciated..
Thank you Elly! I haven't made liquid soap because I thought all liquid soap had a bunch of added chemicals in it to make it liquid. I'm thrilled to see this video 😊 plus it looks so easy! I'm going to hurry and buy potassium hydroxide and make your recipe!
I was looking to add a facial soap to pair with my body sugar scrub . It turned out great 👍🏽
Thank you for sharing your recipe ~ can’t wait to try making it ❤❤❤
This is a lovely soap!! Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic recipe and method. Super easy to make with only 4 ingredients and cheap as well. I made a double batch which made 6 liters of liquid soap and the batch only cost around $3.00 per liter to make.
Fantastic! Yes it's very affordable to make yourself.
Thanks Elly for another amazing video, it is always inspiring to watch how you make soap as it makes me want to pick up my tools that has been collecting dust for some time now.
Go for it Ruby! :)
Loved this video! Thank you so much for making it💙🙏🏼
You video is the best I had seen about liquid soap, very clear !
Thank you Elly for sharing your soap making experience. I really enjoy watching your videos. I learn a lot and they are also relaxing and fun. I've made cold processed soap several times by following your recipes and instructions. They are all successful. Now I am learning how to make liquid soap. And your videos are the most informative ones on KZhead and easy to follow and understand. Thank you again.
That's wonderful to hear, thank you! Ps. I love your cat.
Hello from California! Thank you Elly for this recipe! I'm a cp soaper and have been wanting to try liquid soap for some time, but was intimidated. Thank you for making such an easy to understand guide. 🙏🏻 hugs!
You're welcome! Glad this helped you :)
Elly you so wonderful in this your sharing. May God to bless you abundantly as you continue to help the needy with your knowledge.
I definitely want to try this!! Unreal how easy it appears!! Thank you for sharing!😍❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦
Thank you for your video. This is my first time making liquid soap and it was definitely easier than bar soap for me. I used all Extra Virgin Olive 🫒 oil and it’s definitely thicker than traditional Castile Soap. I like it thicker though. Thank you 🙏🏾
OMG Elly, I'm catching up but you are definitely closer to converting me to making soap one of these days. You've turned me back from using pump bottle detergent soaps to bars I buy from my local Co-op, or at a pinch the health food shop. My hands survive firewood and firemaking, gardening and strange fixings at my elderly mother's place far better using bar soaps - my skin is not dry at all any more. I also scrape my nails on bar soap when I'm gardening so my hands are super easy to clean. This castile soap looks wonderful and might be a good soap to start with (after going to Mitre 10 or Bunnings and getting the safety gear, after watching the safety video. Again). I'll see, as in I really want to, but my time is very bound up with my elderly mother these days. I'm so glad I decided to check on your channel - KZhead is terrible at giving appropriate alerts. As always, just watching you do anything is so zen you need to be bottled! ☺️
Ahh, you'll make soap one day I'm sure, Tosca! Thanks as always. Much good vibes to you x
That was so enjoyable to watch. I can’t wait to start making my own soap again. Thanks for the instructions.
You're welcome :)
Another wonderful and clear instructive video. It gets my like and recommendation.
I followed your liquid soap video and OMG!!! It is the most beautiful liquid soap I ever made!! You are the best! I failed on making liquid soap before. Now I am confident and eager to make liquid soap again. Thank you so much Elly❤
That's brilliant Vita, thank you!
Hi Elly ; I love so much this 100% Olive oil and today I make it again . all my families love it so much they use it everyday from top to toe. Again thank you sooo much for this recipe . We love it
That's fantastic Gita, thank you!
So helpful, enjoyable and clear. I made it and it's great. Thanks
Thanks Elly, I am going to try making this tomorrow.. Looks wonderful!! mary
I finally got myself some potassium hydroxide and I'm trying your castile recipe tonight!! happy soaper time!! Wish me luck and thanks Elly xx
Exciting!! Have fun :)
This looks so good Elly; a gentle video for a gentle soap. Have not yet made a liquid soap but after watching this I really want to. Will have to purchase some potassium hydroxide and glycerine, neither of which I have. Thanks for this lovely informative demonstration. PS I am super happy with your coffee soap recipe. (sure smells like coffee too). Has such a creamy lather like your lather test. Tomorrow I am making it again and using essential oils instead of the coffee.. Warmest regards 🐾🦋
Thank you Marion, I'm really glad you liked this and it has inspired you! Great news about the coffee soap - I love that soap! I think it's still my favourite :)
That looks pretty easy - lovely! Thank you!
Hi Elly, it’s been a while haven’t seen your videos and it was a lovely and a very useful one again. Your soft and friendly voice is very shooting as well. I would love to try this recipe soon. Thank you very much. 👍🙏💕
Definitely giving this a go today! I've been experimenting with liquid soap lately and it's so interesting how different oils can change the consistency etc.. I love this video - thank you Elly 👍👏👏👏👏
Thank you Trisha, that's great!! I'm hoping to do more LS videos this year - will prompt me to learn more myself :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking hi Elly! Just to say that I tried an olive/Castor/Sunflower oil combo. After 30mins of blending and stirring it was still like sloppy thin custard. I thought it was headed for the bin but left it on low in the Crockpot and went away to do something else. Half an hour later I went back to it expecting sloppy custard and got paste!!! So, either by adding sunflower oil it must take forever to firm up or my Crockpot can do VooDoo magic? 🤷🤣
Ah that's great to hear! I've never used sunflower but I imagine it's slow to saponify. Using less water in your paste recipe would speed it up, also replacing some of the water with glycerine would zoom it along! Your crock pot does have special powers I think! I always say 'heat and agitation' are the KEYS to getting LS to come together. If you use both of those, it will eventually gel and cook :)
If I could give this 1000 likes I would. Excellent description. 👏👏👏 I saw another video on how to do this and I was stressed because she would jump from one thing to another out of order and made the process seem like it took days. I was discouraged. But you gave me my courage back to try this. Thank you.
Wonderful! Thank you :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMakingHi again. I just wanted to ask is it ok to double this recipe? I couldn't find a 3 qt pot and got a 6 qt instead.
I just made my first batch of Castile liquid soap. It will make so much soap! I do like the slow cooker HP method, this was my second HP soap. That paste is very, very thick. I enjoy your videos, thanks.
This is the first liquid castile soap I have seen! This is fantastic! Cannot wait to try. Got a like and new subscriber here. Cheers
Hi Elly, I made this liquid soap yesterday for the first time and went well. I used Cobram Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil and it did get thickened a lot, thicker than those store bought liquid soap for sure! I scented some with combination of Lemongrass, Rosemary and Peppermint and it got thicker than Golden Syrup 😱, so I had to add more water. In a separate bottle I scented it with a fragrance oil and it didn’t get thickened farther. It’s a lovely soap 😍and I think it is a good idea to scent it before you put it in a bottle. You can enjoy few different fragrances from one batch! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and look forward to your next video!! 💕
Wonderful! Thanks for commenting Takako :)
Hey everyone, hope you enjoy the new video! Make sure you check out the description box under the video for all the links, including the full written recipe over on my website.

I'll reply to as many as I can over the next week or so :)
Oh wonderful Elly' , I saw recipe link , but for now I don't have enough money to buy the equipment and the ingredients as well, I really appreciate.
Hi Elly I really love your laundry soap and wanted to make a liquid version of it.. would you be able to help.. can I substitute olive oil for other combinations.. or does the KOH amount change too.. love your channel and soaps 🧼
100% olive oil recipe!
Can not find a link to a cp version. Xx
Thank you Elly, I love your videos! 🙏💗
thank you for making this ! I learned a lot
I really love your channel and thank you for this recipe and video. I've been using Castile soap as a base for my face wash recipe and now feel like this has changed the game because I buy Castile soap on bulk and as a soap maker I've always been fearful of making liquid soap. Not anymore. Thank you so much Elly. Can you make a foaming oats liquid soap or coco glucoside. 💁🏽♀️ I mean they could be just as easy Thanks Again and blessings to you!
Hey, a big thank you! I like castile soap and love simplicity of this.
Thank you Elly.. i think i will try this .. you sure make it look so easy. And love your soothing voice throughout the video❤ you should consider doing voiceover for commercial purposes.. it would surely be a hit! love this❤❤❤❤

Hi Elly,my first time watching and love the natural ingredients for a change,love everyone's comments ,never to old to learn so I will definately experiment.Way back I purchased a bottle of Dr Bronner'pure castile soap and it was so pricey that I hardly wanted to use it,but nothing lasts.Thanks once again,God bless and enjoy soap making all.Love.
