Simple & Pure Plain Soap | Unscented Cold Process Soap with Shea Butter

Welcome to the very first video in my Simple & Pure: Plain Soap Series! In this episode, I'm making a beautiful plain, unscented cold process soap using a balanced blend of unrefined shea butter, rice bran oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil. No fragrance. No unnecessary extras. Just a simple, thoughtfully formulated bar of handmade soap. This series celebrates minimalist soap making by highlighting one featured ingredient at a time while using the same signature base recipe. Whether you're a fellow soap maker or simply enjoy watching the creative process, I hope you'll enjoy following along. Soap Tip Professional soap recipes are often created using percentages instead of fixed weights. Once the formula is balanced, a soap calculator converts those percentages into the exact amounts needed for any batch size, making recipes easy to scale up or down while keeping the same formulation.
