I’m new at making soap from scratch and I noticed the more pure your essential oils are, the more time you have to work with the soap. Love your videos! Thanks for posting.

Great video ❤️... Jerika, it would be awesome if you could you please list the essential oils percentage used in the description box with the rest of the recipe .. thank you ❤️

Beautiful soap! I recently came across your channel and I enjoy watching your videos!☺ I have a question though, what amounts do you use for water and lye. I'm a newbie to soapmaking and I'm trying to keep everything as natural as possible. I've only worked with MP soap. Please let me know!🙏🏽 Appreciate your beautiful work! 🤗✨🌺

Same question! My daughter and son are having crazy skin issues but I can’t figure this out. What amounts do you use for lye and water in this soap? Trying to keep everything natural to see if their skin improves. Struggling!

Dors coconut oil come from Costco and hemps oil ?

I want to make a soap for my house plant. I want to add coconut oil, neem oil, peppermint essential oil, and activated charcoal but I don’t know where to begin. This is my first time trying to do some research and attempting this….I looked at the calculator but have no clue. Any tips would be appreciated!

how long does the soap last with no preservatives? is there a shelf life?

I love your orange peel powder color, where is it from please? Beautiful Soap.
