Watching this A, because I love your videos and B, because I need to use the last of my tallow & watching soaping videos gives me that extra little nudge to get going. I always want to soap, it's just getting *started*, lol. Also, realizing your small pitcher is my big pitcher is a weird feeling. One day I'll make large batches like yours. Now is not the time.

Lovely video Holly, discovered you not long again, having started soaping about 3-4 months ago. Made a 50% Pink Clay Salt Bar a couple of days ago, first time ever. Using mini square soap bar silicon moulds for gifting, and also for getting some feedback. Salt bars for soap seem to really fascinate me. I definitely like the hard bar effect. Your recipe is lovely, I think I will try something like your recipe with the peppermint. Thank you for explanations about salt & superfatting in the beginning. You are certainly easy to watch and listen to. 🤩✨

@moriversoap Sorry, I just saw it was an old video. 😅 Well, you know what I'm looking forward to.

I have been soaping for sometime. I found working with essential oils my batch sometimes becomes soap on a stick. I use the IFRA standards when measuring out my essential oils. I use full water at 38%. My question is how can I stop soap on a stick using essential oil? I normally end up doing FO/EO to stop the soap on a stick.

@moriversoap

Hmmm...are you using them at a general 5% or less or the full approved amount via the IFRA usage rate?

Another nice video Holly I didn't look through all the comments yet but can you tell me a little bit about your buttermilk where do you get it, is it just regular buttermilk that you get at the store can you help me here I'm looking to get a more smoother bar for myself I don't sell my bars.

Holly, do you make a soap for women's feminine areas? Also, I would like to purchase your homes for my friends for Christmas. How early can I purchase it to be fresh still in Dec? Are you going to make Christmas scents this year? Sorry for so many questions. :o)

@moriversoap

Жыл бұрын

Thank you Debbie! I don't make any soaps specifically for that. My soaps will get better with age but eventually the fragrances and color may begin to fade. My 'regular' soaps are available now and probably won't be back before Christmas shopping time. You'd be good to go ahead and get them now as they were made in early July. I typically say use the soaps in a year to retain the best color and fragrance. That being said, many of my customers collect them and start using them at a year or so because of how well soap ages. I am sort of planning on Christmas but I'm also in a transitional phase and just waiting to see if I should go ahead and get them made.

Quick question, do you not have the same regulations we have in the uk when making soaps? Here we have to have our individual recipes certified by a cosmetic chemist and we cannot deviate from that recipe at all. It’s very frustrating and takes away any creativity but it’s the law here. I see so many American soapers trying out different scents and ingredients so I wondered if you are free to do that and are not as restricted as we are. Thanks for the great videos :)

Salt bars are different to soap bars. They need cutting a couple of hours after making. If left over night they would be too hard and would just crumble due to the salt content.
