Let me know how it goes!

Sorry about that

What were your questions?

No. You can though. People new to glycerin soap will need that explained. Summertime is the worst for glycerin beads. It’s always good idea to give more than less if you want happy customers.

Hi Amina! Brambleberry has a soap calculator that works very well. Just make sure you have at least 30% hard oils.

That is a hard one. I have heard from a number of people that live in hot, humid places that their soap takes a long time to set up. Is it possible to refrigerate your soap? The problem with this though, is that when you take it out it will get glycerin beads, and will also sweat. Perhaps refrigerate to set up and then keep them stored in a plastic cooler? You will still experience sweating and glycerin beads, but they can be wiped off with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel.

I love it! All poetry is good. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I truly appreciate your kind words. Thank you!

I’m hoping to.

You are welcome so much.

Right! I agree. They smell soooo good! Thank you for the comment.

I usually leave them out for a week or two and then wrap. You can store them in plastic containers, but make sure to use a separate container for each soap or they will start smelling alike.

Most of my videos are for inspiration. When I make one for learning I include the recipe. Usually I include recipes for cold process tutorials. Thank you for your input.

Thank you!

Thank you for the compliment!!! If you cover it the skin doesn’t form on top. You may have to microwave it to soften it a bit. Just make sure you don’t go too hot (needs to be 120*F or lower) because if you do you will miss your window to pour. It’s a bit of a balancing act. I am hoping to make more videos soon and would like to do a live to better help.

If it gets too cool you will have to reheat it periodically. 120*F is the sweet spot.

Thank you!!💖

Bramble Berry sells an SFIC that doesn’t have SLS or SLES. I use that and buy it in bulk.

Love love love you too. Thank you for watching!

It has worked with all bases. Even the low sweat ones.

Sometimes, especially in the winter. Keeping it around 120*F is ideal.

Yes, it does.

Thank you so much. Some are just for inspiration, but some are for learning. I really appreciate your feedback. 💖

I use a 52 oz. mold so each bar is around 5 -6 ounce’s depending on how many you cut.

Yes.

I am planning on making more videos and hopefully doing some live videos soon.

I’m just getting set up for some new videos and hope to do some live ones soon. I will make a post for you to save the date when I have it set.

Maybe I can help?

Thank you.

Right. My cousin burned her lungs when we were first learning. Be safe!

Thank you! 😊

I use plastic for cold process and glass for glycerin. Glass is not recommended for cold process soaping because of the heat reaction. Glass has been known to shatter, even Pyrex.

Thanks Hessey! This video was not a tutorial. The idea behind it was to showcase what can be done for beginners.

Hi DeAnda! I used all clear and added the white. I mix titanium dioxide with glycerin and then add drops of that mix to the soap until I get the desired opacity. However, I have done a mix before with clear and goat milk, and as long as the two soaps are from the same manufacturer they should work well together. Don’t forget to spritz with 90% rubbing alcohol between layers. Hope this helps.

It won’t sink if you wait until a skin forms on top. Maybe try waiting a little longer. It sounds like you have a thin skin, but it needs to be thicker. Use your pencil eraser to check the give in the center of the loaf. You want it to give, yet be able to gently push in to the soap without breaking the seal. Thank you for reaching out!

Cold process soap swirls a lot easier than glycerin. However, the texture is much different. You can definitely get similar swirls, but the final product is less transparent and more opaque. If you haven’t watched my cold process videos or made cold process soap I urge you to give it a shot. Let me know how it goes. I will try and answer any questions you have.

Some of my videos are instructional and some are just for inspiration. Most are for inspiration. Please see my video on how to swirl glycerin soap for more instructions…and feel free to ask me questions. I will try and get back to you soon.

Beautiful videos and beautiful music! Thanks for sharing!
