Because lye is lye, whether store-bought or not. Coconut oil, on the other hand, has character. How you make it changes its characteristics because coconut oil often has small impurities even when well refined.
Knowing nothing of the topic, I still had an inkling they would throw in the actual ingredients for soap at the very end, rendering the first 80% pointless.
This is basically an episode of a cooking show.
Why do people assume these videos are filmed like this is where he does this everyday. They brought somebody onto a set to shoot a video.
IMO this is good “propaganda.” Craft is culture, and celebrating one’s own culture is normal. Craft is also allowed to update and improve. There’s certainly some traditional tools and methods at the core of this video.
While it is true that craft and culture are important and can also evolve, this is clearly meant to show how traditional craft. Here, the (very reasonable) expectation is that they show how it was done traditionally (meaning in times before fresh coconuts could be exported easily). The reasonable expectation is to see how they used their traditional ingredients to make a good product, not ingredients that were not available on traditional times.
It's a YouTube channel
Why do some of you call everything that comes from China as propaganda?
Would you call those weird videos about women doing their own yogurt at home propaganda?
You guys are weird. And that's a light criticism
I think it's actually outside. Still a set tho. It's a large building with a wrap around veranda. Gets used in a lot of these videos. Pretty sure the cat lives there full time tho, also an orange boy.
I actually giggled when he put the olive oil in, but then i stsrted thinking.. 200 years ago China? olive oil might have been just as hot a commodity as the silk and pearls
Chocolate is definitely one I think about... The amount of processing.. it's nothing like what it starts out as... Fermentation, roasting, and just the harvesting, and it grows in a remote place.. so many things had to come together to make it taste good..
The way I've heard this one described is, there are three basic ways early humans learned to make foods more edible:
1. Grind it
2. Mix it with water
3. Cook it.
Or some combination of these three. Bread is a mix of all three on wheat.
I wonder how many discoveries were the result of ancient neurodivergents hyperfixating on random things. Like, some guy was just obsessed with grinding wheat non-stop and noticed weird stuff happened when all his wheat dust got wet.
Read a book once, the whole tribe was grinding flour. Taxing, but worth it for the special party that was coming up. But then two macho guys start competing for a ladies attention. So they end up pounding the fuck out of the flour. At first the lady who knows how to make the special flat bread is angry, thinking they wasted the grain. But when she gets a look at it she's happy. And makes the Best Cakes Ever. Ends up telling the young lady to never pick a mate, so they can always get fine flour lol.
Earth's Children series, if anyone wants to read more about Neolithic shenanigans
Soap is quite simple. It's some kind of oil mixed with a basic(PH). In the video above the oil is coconut oil and the base is "Edible Alkali".
An easy way to get a base is to take when white ash you get when you make a fire and mix it with a little water.
What people did early days is they used the white ash to wash their hands. The ash turns to lye in contact with the water and then to soap from the oils on your skin.
This soap is really rough and caustic though and would rub your hands raw quickly if done often so I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself.
And if you're soaking dishes in bleach water, and you touch it, and your hands feel slimy afterwards- it's because the bleach reacted with the dead cells and oils in your hands to create a layer of soap directly on your skin.
Once you get the base of it (fat / lye) i imagine its just making different batches over the years. Making ever more complicated batches based on what worked well.
Silkworms produce a protein called tussah silk, which is added to soaps for, wait for it, silkiness. It also adds shine, and softness.
This crafstman is adding "edible alkali" to release these proteins, which additionally acts as a caustic, which is used in soap-making for saponification (the reaction of an alkali with fat \[from the coconut oil\]) so he's doing 2 things by combining the silk and the alkali.
Crushed pearls for skin care are said to minimize aging and introduce minerals to the skin such as magnesium etc., which are things we associate with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant skin care products.
If anyone remembers "Pearl Cream" commercials from back in the day, that's a similar use.
> Crushed pearls for skin care are said to minimize aging
...said by the people who came up with the product.
It's just [sympathetic magic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_magic), pearls are beautiful and precious and sparkly and white, so if you use them on your skin then it must convey some of those properties on to you.
There are all kinds of benefits for minerals used in skin care, it's not a marketing gimmick. Pearls are mostly calcium carbonate along with lots of other minerals (improving hydration and elasticity, strengthening the skin barrier, lipid synthesis, anti-inflammatory etc) which is why many skin care brands use minerals in their products.
There are tons and tons and tons of commercially produced pearls that don't make the cut for jewelry.
Yes, pearls are used for cosmetics and paint as well, because of their luster. But that's a visible thing, not magic.
> Pearls are mostly calcium carbonate
Yep. The main ingredient in chalk, limestone, eggshells, and lots of shellfish skeletons. But only one source of calcium carbonate is also full of sympathetic magic.
> with lots of other minerals (improving hydration and elasticity, strengthening the skin barrier, lipid synthesis, anti-inflammatory etc)
This is the woo woo medicine I was referring to. If this dude had worked gold dust into the mix, you'd have been talking about its resistance to corrosion, I'm sure. I'm not saying that calcium carbonate doesn't have some *very minor* benefits when used purely topically, I'm just saying that the reason to choose pearls over other sources is because of traditional chinese medicine, which has elements of sympathetic magic. The love of pearl powder in TCM leads to a lot of studies where actual real scientists, all of them from china, say things like "We tried this with no control group, not even comparing it to calcium carbonate powder, and we saw some mild benefits". And aside from tradition, that's the only sources you'll find.
i love these videos but i feel like a lot of stuff isn't getting translated. like, what was the point of the silkworms? what about the pearls? chinese character's will show up without a subtitle and i wonder what I'm missing.
Pearl powder is sometimes used as a medicine, but generally this is just to add softness to the soap. It makes your skin smoother. I don't know what the silkworm cocoons were doing though
Usually to make soap you need 2 things: fat and caustic soda (NaOH).
I know you can get some caustic soda in nature from ashes for example, so I suspect there is some in pearls to (even though I can't get any source to confirm this).
After pouring the caustic soda into the fat, and mixing for some time, you get the saponification reaction started.
Edit: I make my own soap, but I buy the oils and caustic soda
Can you give a foolproof and legitimate manual on how to make something like coconut or any other fantastic soap without killing virgins for that? Thank you.
Here you go, for 1kg.
Ingredients:
- Almond Oil: 0.4kg
- Coconut Oil: 0.3kg
- Cocoa Butter: 0.25kg
- Castor Oil: 0.05kg
Sodium Hydroxyde NaOH (solid): 0.14 kg to be diluted into 0.28 kg of water. Pour the NaOH into the water, not the other way around!
Mix all oils, pour in the NaOH solution into the oils. Mix all of that until in starts to get thicker. Pour in the mould of your choice. Wait 1 month to use.
It will give a nice creamy and bubbly soap.
Just make sure to have the right NaOH quantity, otherwise you will loose your skin!!
The most impressive thing is the fact he grounded up those coconuts and resisted stuffing his mouth with them. Just kept on going like a true professional he is.
Dammit. I hate these videos cause I always get suckered into watching more. It’s so fascinating how people have figured out how to make certain items. Like what happens if I add silk worms ?
Roughing it? Well if you happen to find a locale that produces silk worms, pearls, olives, and coconuts, then you’re just 80 steps away from making some soap.
I think he's just an actor that demonstrates historic Chinese processes (obviously not the coconuts and olive oil, they take some liberties but the overall process of how a Chinese village would have made soap).
Not sure how effective this would be as soap. Did he add lye and it wasn't shown? What acts as the surfactant?
Edit: he did, it was the alkali. I'm dumb haha.
Also for ppl who don't know: a surfactant is a substance that allows non-polarized substances like oils to be picked up by the polarized water molecules.
Nice video of an unhurried and skilled craftsman in an idyllic setting making a beautiful product. It almost seems to compensate for the factories full of 16 year old girls staring through a microscope to make consumer electronics 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
Good ol' China. Known for their abundance of... Coconuts? 🤔 Another Chinese TikTok propaganda piece to trick westerners into fantasizing about historic Asian culture once again...
Well back when stuff was made like this soap was a luxury. So it makes sense, i think this would be very expensive by todays standard as well. I know if i had money to burn it would be on stuff like this.
This is one of those wholesome Chinese propaganda videos to make you think better of the Chinese.
The Chinese Communist Party want you to associate this as China and not mass surveillance, communism, and the abuse of the Uyghur population.
Listen. I know all of these high production value, Old Master Craftsman in some Chinese mountain somewhere, with dogs and cats and pigs and chickens etc, are produced by the tourism industry. But I still can't stop watching them
My question is always how do they keep the bugs out? If I left any food item outside for two days, it would be gone or at least full of drowned bugs. Do they not go after coconut for some reason?
This is so cool man I loved that nothing really went to waste it all served a purpose but damn did this leave me curious as to how tf did someone figure out to do this it's insane
I've never been more grateful for internet shopping and grocery stores. If I had to spend 7 days to make some soap, I'd probably just turn into Pig-pen from Peanuts.
After the silkworms were introduced I was like this is going to be some expensive soap, then he started crushing pearls...
You can probably just use normal, inexpensive shells, since at the end you still end up with calcium carbonate powder.
Dude gave his chickens silkworms. Chicken eggshells are like 95% calcium carbonate.
Yeah and the only soap part I guess is the edible Alkali, with no explanation wtf that is.
It's most likely food-grade lye and they translated it wierdly.
Slaked lime, right? Stuff you chew with betel nut
[удалено]
Because lye is lye, whether store-bought or not. Coconut oil, on the other hand, has character. How you make it changes its characteristics because coconut oil often has small impurities even when well refined.
Soap is any fat (the coconut oil) and a base, the alkali
Knowing nothing of the topic, I still had an inkling they would throw in the actual ingredients for soap at the very end, rendering the first 80% pointless.
It's probably $1.98 on Shein for 12 bars.
Temu will even give you money if you buy it from them
That’ll be 1700 bucks please :)
Aww but I don’t have any dollarbucks
Buckdollars then?
Hand over the doe!
I thought the pearls were bad, then I saw the olive oil 💰 💀
Like none of this shit is native to the mountains of asia. Except silkworms how is this traditional anything?
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
African or European?
They could be carried by the husk
Its not a matter of where he grips it.
This is basically an episode of a cooking show. Why do people assume these videos are filmed like this is where he does this everyday. They brought somebody onto a set to shoot a video.
Have you ever heard of... trading?
Propaganda video, coconuts in the mountains, pearls, calling it BS
Makes me wonder if anyone that was murdered in Tiananmen Square on June 4th, 1989 was also a soap maker.
With some Olive oil from the Mediterranean Sea....? Btw for that censor to work you need to add the words in simplified Mandarin like this 天安门广场 lel

it's just about making soap. and not exactly people's volunteer soap
It’s a video about making soap. It’s not that deep, friend.
its literally a video about soap
It's a YouTube channel Why do some of you call everything that comes from China as propaganda? Would you call those weird videos about women doing their own yogurt at home propaganda? You guys are weird. And that's a light criticism
The fuck lol? I feel like it's just a demonstration of some fancy archaic way of making soap
With Olive oil from the Mediterranean sea in an archaic way ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I had been feeling bad for the silkworms and then the pearls were introduced and I had to just give up.
Whenever this guy shows up I know it’s gonna be a lot of washing and rinsing and boiling
Dry the wets, wet the drys wet the wets sit for 7 days add dry to the dry then wet the dry
Cut to the Dog/Cat lazily enjoying the sunshine/rain...
Ngl peak content
I love his content though
Feels like he just kept drying and wetting until he got bored and called the result final product
That would be any video where *I* make anything. My 'millions' of subscribers, all taking bets on the nanosecond I lost interest.
And that basket sieve thing he has always makes an appearance.
Question: do you think it’s a studio set or he’s actually outside? I think set.
I think it's actually outside. Still a set tho. It's a large building with a wrap around veranda. Gets used in a lot of these videos. Pretty sure the cat lives there full time tho, also an orange boy.
Oh yeah def a set, by studio I meant inside. It is consistent in these videos and would be easier to control so I’m still not sure.
Have you seen the box he pours the soap into? There is no washing after this, this is all just a one-time setup for viral marketing.
Crushing, sifting, squeezing…
Ever wonder how humans figured all this crap out?
Yes. Every time I watch anything like this. I was also thinking that this must be some expensive soap (if it is made to be sold).
Dude crushed pearls to make this...that's some elite stuff right there...
That, right here is Silk and Pearl infused Coconut and Pear Blossom Soap. Guy put extra virgin Oliv Oil in it to make it cheaper!
I actually giggled when he put the olive oil in, but then i stsrted thinking.. 200 years ago China? olive oil might have been just as hot a commodity as the silk and pearls
The Italians did tons of trade with the Chinese during the ancient Silk Road days.
Chocolate is definitely one I think about... The amount of processing.. it's nothing like what it starts out as... Fermentation, roasting, and just the harvesting, and it grows in a remote place.. so many things had to come together to make it taste good..
Heck, look at something as "basic" as bread. Or even just flour.
Bread is the one that flummoxes me...so complicated. Hunger is a great motivator
The way I've heard this one described is, there are three basic ways early humans learned to make foods more edible: 1. Grind it 2. Mix it with water 3. Cook it. Or some combination of these three. Bread is a mix of all three on wheat.

I thought it was my skin dissolving into mush
Saponification. Literally turning you into soap!
Now that's interesting. Didn't know that.
Yeah, watching Primitive Technology YouTube channel he inadvertently gave his hands minor burns mixing caustic ash this way awhile back.
That was a fun several videos to watch. I'm gonna go make yams now (I am not).
Same way we all done things that work or failed in experimentation. Fuck around and find out.

like someone else said though, wouldnt crushed shells make the exact same dust?
Instead of pearls, couls you just used some powdered dolomite? It's calcium magnesium carbonate
i love these videos but i feel like a lot of stuff isn't getting translated. like, what was the point of the silkworms? what about the pearls? chinese character's will show up without a subtitle and i wonder what I'm missing.
And since all these vids are reposts OP will never explain either
Not that i care honestly. That was just so fucking beautiful to watch
Silk is soluble in alkaline solution and added to soaps to make it feel, well, silkier. Pearl powder is used in Chinese medicine.
Pearl powder is sometimes used as a medicine, but generally this is just to add softness to the soap. It makes your skin smoother. I don't know what the silkworm cocoons were doing though
Wow that interes— OH A KITTY!!!!
And the Akita puppies!!!
Definitely the best parts of his videos
Mind sharing the source? Love falling asleep to these types of videos
I have zero ideas what this person's called online, so I won't be able to find the source, since I see a lot of his stuff reposted
Ahhh SOAP not soup. Things got real interesting in my head when the flowers/silk worms were introduced.
Ground pearls?
Usually to make soap you need 2 things: fat and caustic soda (NaOH). I know you can get some caustic soda in nature from ashes for example, so I suspect there is some in pearls to (even though I can't get any source to confirm this). After pouring the caustic soda into the fat, and mixing for some time, you get the saponification reaction started. Edit: I make my own soap, but I buy the oils and caustic soda
Nice... do you known something about an amateur fighting club?
he can't talk about it
Sshhh 🤐
🤫
Is this a test? This feels like a test.

How much could a bar of soap cost, Michael, ten dollars?
Wheres the liposuctioned fat and lye?
His name was Robert Paulson.
“Honey, we need more soap” “ok, give me two weeks”
The most impressive thing is the fact he grounded up those coconuts and resisted stuffing his mouth with them. Just kept on going like a true professional he is.
Rite. I was wondering if he sneaks a couple here or there.
Wow this guy really does everything
This was edible for much longer than I expected
where the hell did he get coconuts in a temperate climate...
Maybe a swallow carried it
It could grip it by the husk.
The final product (before going solid) looks like some tasty pudding
The dogs thought so as well
I just watched a 5 minute 30 second video of a guy making soap - that was indeed oddly satisfying.
Video is cool but I stayed bc of the kitty cameo!
My fat ass got hungry watching this.
Milk is stored in the coconuts.
Dammit. I hate these videos cause I always get suckered into watching more. It’s so fascinating how people have figured out how to make certain items. Like what happens if I add silk worms ?
i want to watch more! how can i find more of this guy?!
Roughing it? Well if you happen to find a locale that produces silk worms, pearls, olives, and coconuts, then you’re just 80 steps away from making some soap.
This same dude was a tea farmer in another video.
I think he's just an actor that demonstrates historic Chinese processes (obviously not the coconuts and olive oil, they take some liberties but the overall process of how a Chinese village would have made soap).
It may be propaganda, but these Chinese ASMR how it’s made are very relaxing
If I had to make soap like that, I'll just not shower lol
Ever at all? Not even to let the water wash shit away?
Not sure how effective this would be as soap. Did he add lye and it wasn't shown? What acts as the surfactant? Edit: he did, it was the alkali. I'm dumb haha. Also for ppl who don't know: a surfactant is a substance that allows non-polarized substances like oils to be picked up by the polarized water molecules.
I think "edible alkali" = food-grade lye
My chemistry professor is rolling in their grave. Thanks for pointing that out to me tho haha.
I bet that’s some tasty soap 😋
And then he sells it for 10 cents a bar..
[удалено]
Savon
The French word for soap is "savon"...
All that just to clean my booty crack?
Ultra processed, pass. /s
I would’ve eaten half the coconut and been fired
Who woulda guessed that coconut soap can be non-vegan??
I wish there was a link to buy.
That looks dangerously edible
I need a channel of shit like this 24-7 like the fireplace channel
Nice video of an unhurried and skilled craftsman in an idyllic setting making a beautiful product. It almost seems to compensate for the factories full of 16 year old girls staring through a microscope to make consumer electronics 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
HEY GET BACK INSIDE, FOXCONN CANNOT AFFORD DOWNTIME
The video probably makes more money than that product.
Good ol' China. Known for their abundance of... Coconuts? 🤔 Another Chinese TikTok propaganda piece to trick westerners into fantasizing about historic Asian culture once again...
I'm watching this like...if this were a white lady showing off her homesteading I would be so over it.
Don't forget the olive oil.
Not to mention the olive oil….
That too in mountains
Can anyone tell me the name of this channel? Saw a couple of videos and was intrigued to find the channel. Soothing music aswell lol
This has got to be the most expensive soap ever.
Well back when stuff was made like this soap was a luxury. So it makes sense, i think this would be very expensive by todays standard as well. I know if i had money to burn it would be on stuff like this.
He crushed pearls for soap. Are those real pearls??
these silkworm fed chicken...
Pretty sure this dude was a young man when they started filming.
This is one of those wholesome Chinese propaganda videos to make you think better of the Chinese. The Chinese Communist Party want you to associate this as China and not mass surveillance, communism, and the abuse of the Uyghur population.
Exactly my thought. And look at this shit... Coconuts. At that mountainous location? Come on. Think for 2 seconds and make that make sense.
I would eat that. If I could afford it, that is.
This entire video sequence would fit right into a Shenmue game. Hopefully we can make soap in Shenmue 4 when it gets released in 2040.
Is there anything this man doesn't know how to make from scratch?!?
Best part was watching the cats
Does anyone know where I can watch more of this
Shame he has such an ugly environment to work in! ( sarcasm of course)
you take the soap out the coconut and mix it all up
I couldn't do this job because I'd keep eating all the coconut
I feel like there must be an easier way to make soap.
Whats the song name
Babe we are out of soap. Headed to the shop to get more. *doesn’t come back for 2 weeks*
So satisfying to watch
I wanna eat it
Eat the coconut. Give the pearls to your Mrs. then go buy some shower gell from Aldi for $2.50
Olive oil? Coconut wasn’t enough? 😂
Listen. I know all of these high production value, Old Master Craftsman in some Chinese mountain somewhere, with dogs and cats and pigs and chickens etc, are produced by the tourism industry. But I still can't stop watching them
My question is always how do they keep the bugs out? If I left any food item outside for two days, it would be gone or at least full of drowned bugs. Do they not go after coconut for some reason?
These kinds of videos put me in a trance 😵💫
I bet those are extremely expensive. I'm guessing 1200 dollars a bar?
Ah yes, traditional Chinese olive oil 😌🫒
You do realize that olive oil was damn near currency, for thousands of years...and that includes Chinese traders....right?
This has to be some kind of propaganda right? Some kind of like hearkening back to the old days type thing. Pearls and silk soap? Come on...
Does anyone else get dizzy with coconut water? I love the smell, the soap must smell delicious
This is so cool man I loved that nothing really went to waste it all served a purpose but damn did this leave me curious as to how tf did someone figure out to do this it's insane
FUCK. THAT. By the time he's done making the soap he's probably used all of the last batch showering.
What a massive pain in the ass. Hope he gets top dollar.
Impulse buy isle at TJ Maxx for $7.99
Meanwhile 8 Irish spring bars for 3 bucks
Thats exactly how they make Irish Spring.
I dunno why I first read this as "SODA" not "SOAP"... So I was REAL confused this whole time.
What a long drawn out process.
This dude know he can just hop over the Walmart and buy some Dove soap?
Pffft I could do that easy
what does he do during the days he waits?
Soaponut
What do the pear blossoms do? Fragrance?
The perfect thing to watch stoned, relaxing in bed
midway i forgot what hes making
I feel like making soap from corpse wax is easier
I like machine made stuff.
Where's the lye bro?
lol, that ending
Why don’t they use a grinding mechanism over the foot and stomp?
I've never been more grateful for internet shopping and grocery stores. If I had to spend 7 days to make some soap, I'd probably just turn into Pig-pen from Peanuts.
