In my previous video, I made soap from vegetable oil. It got me wondering, is it possible to go backwards? Can I make oil from soap?

This is my first attempt to do this and I think I will try it again in the future. I wouldn't use the same procedure though, because I don't think this one was too good. The high heat let to a lot of glycerol breaking down and I think a lot of side reactions.

NileRed Capturing the natural beauty of chemistry I find that chemistry is often taught poorly or without a purpose. Because of this, people tend to lose interest and sometimes even start to hate it. In each video that I make, I try to balance theory with purpose. My goal is to capture the natural beauty of chemistry in fun and interesting ways. In terms of education, I have a BSc in Biochemistry, with a minor in pharmacology. However, I've always been a lot more drawn to applied chemistry. So after finishing my degree, I worked as a lab tech in an organic lab, and then as a chemistry grad student. However, I ended up leaving my graduate studies early to focus on this channel. Now, making chemistry videos has become my full-time job! Email: admin@nilered.ca
