Can you Make Soap with an Egg? Soaping with STRANGE Additives!!

You know what the egg after cut reminds me of? How some hard boiled eggs’ yolks look a greenish black when they were boiled a while ago and sat in the fridge. Bet it’s something to do with the way the proteins change when exposed to heat!

Omg a series called "Will it Soap?" where you add random ingredients to soap would be so fun to watch!!

butterfly pea flower tea would be fun to add, or any tea that changes color with pH values

I'm a food scientist, not a soap maker, and I wondered when I saw the green center of the egg soap if it is a similar reaction to what you get when you hard boil eggs and don't cool them quickly enough. The iron and sulfur compounds in the egg yolk will react and give you that greenish film. It makes sense that the center of your soap would have gotten the green color because it wouldn't have cooled as quickly as the outer edges would have. Just a thought from someone who enjoys soap videos but doesn't actually make soap hahaha. I'm also curious about the "gel" consistency some of you have been talking about. I don't know much about soap making so I was curious about what was meant.

Okay but the egg one?? to me it's technically mayonnaise soap since mayo is an egg+oil emulsion hahah! Wasn't expecting an egg soap but im here for all the freaky experiments and this made my day!! Thank you Katie for another funny vid and wish you and your family a Happy New Year!🎉❤

Pulverized strawberries might add a nice scrub and scent. Mixed with a bit of yogurt or coconut milk and it's strawberries and cream! Or, other fresh fruit such as citrus + something herbal like basil or cilantro. I've also seen a line of nail polishes made with natural stuff like ground stones or herbs - Death Valley Nails has a line, that seems like it might be fun as a soap colorant.

I have to know. Is that egg from your chickens?

As a consumer and not a soap maker whatsoever: I'm kinda curious of the nightmare additive of mayo/garlic aioli or ketchup/tomato paste. Seems outlandish but not too crazy with the dairy or water content that the yogurt or egg had.

Eggs contain sulphur in the white and iron in the yolk, so I would guess that the color in the middle is some reaction either between them (remember how the yolk in an overcooked hard-boiled egg looks) or between them and the lye, so mainly pH induced (Chinese century eggs comes to mind).

I make shampoo bars with egg yolks (1 yolk per 250g of oils) and my hair just LOVES it! I've had loafs gel but no weird green centre. It is very very soft at first but hardens just fine after the 4 weeks cure. No funny smells but I use essentials oils. Sea water makes great soaps! Thank you very much, you're so fun to watch (and informative!!)

Yesterday I made soap together with my 9 year old. We had a kit and thanks to watching your videos for a long time we did not fail quite as much as we could have otherwise. Well, the soap did not look like we planned but my son was over the moon happy so well, everything went perfect in that regards. When we had just poured the soap and put it to rest he said the kit was an 8 out of 10. Today when we did unmould and cut the soap he changed his review to a perfect 10. Also, I must say that after having tried to pour just small amounts, the mould was for about 1kg soap I think. (We was going for a striped design but everything was mixed in the end.) And I was spilling, well not a whole lot but I am so much more impressed how you handle the big containers after handeling my small ones. Well, now I have to go and spill the news to my son that I am not going to retire from work to start making soaps, not yet at least!

I loved this! As a goat's milk soaper, when you started soaping at 100 degrees I was like, "Ahhh!!! Katie! Noooo!" Hahaha. I loved the egg! I've been thinking about trying it just because it seems so WEIRD! Lol. I love how it gelled green. My husband thinks maybe because hard boiled eggs do that when they got hot? I almost always soap with aloe and goat's milk. but I've also tried juice, beer, and Scotch (for an anchorman soap) as a water replacement. I like to try out additives. My favorite strange one is soap nuts! I'd love to see you compare something like that with maybe a salt soap, high starch or sugar, etc...

Definitely interested in seeing how different fruits react. Melted chocolate would be an interesting one- I don't think it would work but I can see this series going viral if you try some really wacky options that are just disastrous!

That mouse shirt is so cute. Weird ingredient suggestions.... Beer, sesame oil, ginger puree, matcha powder, peanutbutter powder, canned lychee (blended), raw potato, peach herbal tea, applesuce, key lime juice, honey, minced pine needles, fresh rosemary, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, chia seeds, chicken broth, flavored coffee creamer, powdered milk, carrot juice, whole avocado, fresh garlic, wood ash, yeast, mint leaves, dried catnip. You've already done jello.

I’ve used avocado, loved it. All milk and hated it as it never stopped smelling “off”. I use cream or coconut or oat milk at about 5% and that is nice. I’ve seen banana used and wondered about it. Used beer and it was ok but wasn’t worth the trouble for me! Fun video!! 💕💕

I think I do agree that the biggest notable difference comes from using a milk (goat, cow, coconut, almond, etc) but as a creative person, I get so much joy out of just playing around with soap recipes. I would definitely say to give avocado, carrot, or banana a try for something more "typical" but also I'd love to see you try something a bit different like flax or chia seed gel, or fresh aloe, or silk. (Also I've made soap with egg before and really enjoyed the final bar!)

Hello katie. You should make soap with orange, mango, watermelon and banana/pineapple. Then with zuchini, carrots, tomato, sweet pepper. Seamoss, seaweed, flavour tea, & brew coffee. I would love to see you make soap with those. Happy new year to you & your family. Have a bless 2024 Thanks.

I've heard of using an egg many years ago but I'm a vegan soap maker I use soy yogurt often and I've used wine once before not champagne. If you add a bit of spirulina to the cucumber the green you love will come back. This was a fun watch now I see what an egg soap looks like. Pretty cool. Thank you.

I love this idea! Can you do a video with different oils? My favorites are jojoba and maracuja but I couldn't find any soap recipes that include them.

I love how you explained the 50/50 solution and then the additive for the extra water weight. You make this way easier!!! I’m so happy you did this. You encourage me to try soap making even more!!! Happy new year and hope your year bring lots of fabulousness!!!!
