3 Ingredients Aloe vera Whole Leaf Soap

How To Make Aloe vera Soap at Home using Aloe vera whole leaf.
This video shows how to make Aloe vera soap from a whole leaf with only 3 Ingredients.

In soap making, specially for beginners, you should know how to handle lye.

HOW TO HANDLE LYE

Lye is caustic and has to be handled carefully. Fear of lye is common among beginners in soap making. After you make your first batch of soap, you will realize that working with lye isn’t at all scary.

When working with lye, always wear gloves and protective goggles. The lye water solution, and raw soap batter, is caustic and can burn you. Rubber gloves and protective eye goggles are a necessity.

Goggles will protect your eyes from splatters during mixing of the soap.

Always pour Sodium Hydroxide into water, Never the other way around.

Don’t use aluminum pots and utensils.

Hi guys danny here today i will make a soap 
made from a whole aloe vera leaf But this time i will not filter the pureed leaf to get the juice   Similar to what i did in the previous soaping 
video i posted   In this video i will make a soap from a pureed leaf of aloe vera I only do this with the young aloe vera chinensis leaves   Because their leaf rinds are still thin 
and it is easy to make a puree out of it The mature aloe vera chinensis has thicker leaf rind And it is difficult to make a puree out of it Also i don’t have a special blender to do it I also don’t do this with the barbadensis variety   Because both young and mature barbadensis have thick leaf rinds Even though i said whole leaf i still 
remove the spikes from the leaves I just want to make sure that they will not end up 
in the final soap and may eventually hurt someone  using it I also make sure to soak the leaves 
in water in every part of the cleaning process From cleaning the spikes to the 
cutting of the leaves into small pieces Soaking the leaves will help remove the latex 
that is found between the gel and the rind of the leaves It is also good to wash it in 
flowing water but you can skip this part I use a good blender that can make a 
puree out of these cut aloe vera leaves After blending i set it aside for a few minutes   To let the foam disappear or else 
i will just be freezing bubbles Now let’s start making the soap if you 
want to make a soap make sure you have   These minimum protection a pair of gloves 
and safety goggles to protect your eyes   Also please read in the description below a short 
guide on how to handle lye or sodium hydroxide   Weigh 170 grams frozen aloe vera and 
then add 73 grams of sodium hydroxide   Mix until sodium hydroxide is totally melted Unlike mixing it with pure 
gel you cannot clearly see   If the sodium hydroxide is totally 
melted in pureed aloe vera leaves Usually i set it aside for a few minutes   Just to make sure all the sodium 
hydroxide flakes are melted Add the aloe vera sodium hydroxide 
mixture into the 400 grams of coconut oil   Mix until it is completely saponified   This will take long if you just 
use a spatula but it can be done If you use a stick blender or a hand mixer   This will only take about two to 
three minutes five minutes the longest

But because i am using a spatula 
this will take about an hour I will not be mixing for one hour I will just mix this for one to two minutes And let it rest for three to five minutes and then i come back 
and mix it again for about a minute or two   And let it rest again for three to five minutes I will be doing the  cycle of one to two minutes mixing and three to 5 minutes rest until the mixture has saponified If you want to add fragrance to the soap, 
add it when the mixture has reached this thickness The aloe vera pulp are already suspended 
in the mixture and are not sinking at the bottom Now this mixture is ready to be poured in the mold In my first soaping video i used a 
disposable plastic container as a soap mold   This time i will use a mold 
made of used corrugated box   I just lined it with plastic You don’t have to 
buy expensive silicone molds Just use whatever  is available at home For a small batch like this,
it will only take about 4 hours to harden   The bigger the batch the longer 
time it will take to harden At this stage it is also easy 
to cut the soap using a knife   So, this is the final soap 
you can see speckles of green   But later they will be gone and the soap 
will just be plain beige without speckles   I hope you learned something from the video Thank you very much for watching
