Welcome to the Sud Squad! 🫧 I’m Joanna 👋 I’ve been making cold process soap since 2009 and as a business since 2011. I went from making my first soap bars in my shed using fresh goats milk, to scaling into a 44,000 sq foot facility and making over 8 million bars a year. This channel is a place for you to learn everything about cold process soap making. Learn how to effectively masterbatch your soap recipes, white label, scale your business, and most of all - deliver a high quality product to your customers that keeps them coming back for more. This is a creative and supportive community and I'm so glad you're here! Get ready to lather, rinse, profit, & repeat. XOXO your soap sister, Joanna Couch

You are amazing! ❤
Amazing grace ❤❤❤
Wow amazing
Yes! 🇺🇸 God bless America!❤
But if you use 50/50 you will always have lower other liquid like milk, unless you use powder milk
Beautiful job friend.
Nice job sweetheart!
What if I want to use less than 3lbs of the oil blend? How will that work for a beginner?
U are Amazing 😻
God just sent me on your way, THANK YOU!!!!!!🙏🏽 ❤
My lifetime RESPECT 🫡 to you, and THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge
This might be a stupid question but I’m new 😅 When using soap calc to formulate recipes, I suppose I put 50/50 in the lye to water ratio box?
Amen. Yes, God bless us all too. Happy Soaping everyone!✝️🙏🤗🥰🎗️🪖🇺🇲🇺🇸🦅🌎♥️♥️♥️♥️🧼🧼🧼🧼
God Bless us all
Q if the 50/50 Which means f.g 10gm caustic 20ml water to cure fast?
Hello About the 50/50 solution Does the solution get warmed up before starting or does the 2nd ratio of water or liquid activate the 50/50 solution?
Collaboration over competition. That’s gold 👍🏽
Thank you so much. God bless you sister
What kind of jug do u use? Can I use a 1 gallon bucket?
Blue slushy? The actual kids frozen sweet?

Hi Joanna loved the video, how do you print the address labels? Tysm
Using a simply label printer you can find on Amazon. Search inkjet label printer :)
Could you use this kit to do hot process soap?
No this purely for cold process only!
Hi again new to your channel, thank you for sharing I usually use soap calc to get the oz’s and everything about my formula I’ll let you know my name is Ivon, love you too
Welcome Ivon!! Great to have you!
Hi , I’m new to your channel this is a great idea. I have questions what’s the super fat that you use, and I guess the amount of soap batter whether is a 3 lb or 6 lbs of soap how do I know how much water to add. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hello mum, I'm Esther from Ghana and I have been thinking about having my own soap company after school, I chanced on your channel. You are such an amazing woman and I want you to be my mentor if only you can give me that opportunity. May God continue to expand your boundaries, hoping to hear from you soon.
So grateful you found this channel and appreciate your well wishes!
Can I master batch potassium hydroxide the same as sodium hydroxide?
We are unfamiliar with using Potassium Hydroxide! We recommend asking Jackie Thompson with Liquid Soapmaking
@@TheSoapGal thank you so much!
I’m so excited to hear about this organization for extra soap! I’m curious though, I’m already deducting the ingredients to make the soap so wouldn’t that be double deducting if I got another write off when I donated? Maybe I’m thinking about it wrong! Either way will donate for sure:)
You are correct, that would be double deducting if you are already write off the cost of materials so you would have to choose to do one or the other.
I'm so excited for you! Had this dream of making sure everything raw materials to end product is truly fair trade, ethically sourced verified- because how we treat others for those profits matters always has. Making sure on a planet we share none of us own we have clean water supplies, air and soil with quality of life to glorify God...been a tough journey in faith to say the least. Was happy you have this time with your mom. The ability to offer others a place to belong and I hope you are a kind, understanding employer as those are rare. Just wanted to drop a comment to say thanks for your insights and inspiring. Really appreciate you pointing out how lovely collaboration is. Royalty Soaps is exactly how I learned about you and love that type of attitude. Context matters with consent. God bless you 🙏
Thanks so much for sharing! What a neat story! Continue to pray and reply on God. God bless you as well sweet friend!

Hey friend, I’m making my way through your videos from beginning to end. I know this video was five years ago, but I think you are so sweet! We have a little goat farm in Willow, Alaska, and just opened up our soap business. I’m really learning a lot from your videos. Thank you.
Wonderful!! Thanks for sharing and so glad you're learning a lot!
Wow beautiful testimony ❤🙏
Thank you for the explanation. As a small soap maker, I make small batches of artisan soap to help support my family. I have custody of my two grandchildren. I always hope every batch that I make, makes someone smile when they see and smell it. So far, no two batches have been the same. I think hard about what I want each batch to have in it and what it looks like. Every soap maker be it small or large has a passion behind them. Also, the love that you spoke of. Thank you for sharing your videos.
Thank you for sharing!! Appreciate your kind words and being a part of this amazing soaper community!
This is really cool sending love from nyc..❤
So new soap maker here so how long after I finish a batch of soap do I have to wait before I can start the research and development and testing out my soul to see how good it is and to see what I need to fix etc. etc.
If you're using the 50/50 lye solution your soap is safe to cut and R&D in 48 hours! If you're ever unsure you can drop some PH drops on it to ensure the lye has fully cured.
I just found you and thank you for your insight I have been doing this for 2 years and love that I can still learn things.
We're lifelong learners around here!
I love that you put God first and give him the glory. God has done amazing things in my life through trusting in him.
Thank you so much for the time and research you put into this video. Happy soaping from Willow, Alaska.
Glad it was helpful!
I am so glad I found this! I was wondering what I could do with my mistake bars and soap ends! Thank you! We will sign up!
