Such a lovely mandrine orange color. I love the extra effort of the little oranges and leaves. It all made a beautiful bar of soap! You've always been on of my favorite soap makers to watch, as all your soaps are gorgeous! I know you actually spend time designing each and every batch! You can feel the love you put into each bar. Believe me that is a rare thought to have with so many soapers on CZcams now. Not that I don't appreciate them all....this is just a very special channel. I come here when I feel stressed about my own soaping Journey. When I can't sleep. I'll watch the old videos and there's something very comforting about listening to your voice. I guess it reminds me of my own grandmother's voice. Believe me I have Grandchildren of my own now and my grandma has been gone a very long time. So you bring back those sweet childhood memories with just your voice. Thank you for sharing this video and this gorgeous soap!

Thank you, Barb! I appreciate you watching my video and your kind words. :) ione
You make the most beautiful soap!! Thank you for the cornstarch tip ❤️
Hi Brenda ~ Thank you for watching my video and your lovely compliment. I appreciate it very much! I'm sold on cornstarch for a citrus essential oil stabilizer after trying kaolin clay and benzoin powder. It lasts the longest! :) ione
Beautiful! Thank you.
Hi Stevie ~ Thank you very much for watching my video and your lovely comment. I appreciate it so much! :) ione
Wow you are right Ione the colour is stunning. A beautiful batch thanks for sharing. 😊
Thanks so much, Eve! I appreciate you watching my video and your sweet comment. :) ione
Omg that orange came out beautiful.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching my video and your lovely comment. :) ione
I've never seen anyone use cornstarch!! I use kaolin clay in all my soaps, it helps anchor the fragrance.
Amido de milho e bom para hidratar a pele e para ajuda a esencia tmbm ficar mais forte o cheiro
Thank you for watching my video! I used kaolin clay and benzoin powder to stabilize essential oils for the first few years I made soap, but find that cornstarch works much better. Also, I don't put clay in soap unless it's one that I don't want to use, since it is detrimental for my dry skin. :) ione
This orange color really looks fabulous!
Hi Frei ~ Thank you for watching my video and your lovely compliment. I'm glad I'm not alone in loving this orange color! :) ione

Wow Eve, just beautiful, and the orange is spot on.xx
Thank you for watching my video. I appreciate your lovely comment very much! :) ione
So glad to see you again! That orange is beautiful. I use cornstarch too and I love anything citrus. I made my own AloeVera juice from my plants. Just yesterday made some and freeze it up to use on a soap tomorrow. I use the entire leaf, not just the gel. Hope to see you soon again. Thank you for sharing
Hi Clivia ~ Thank you for watching my video and your lovely comment. I used to grow aloe Vera too, when I lived in Southern CA. I used it all the time for sunburn! :) ione
Hi Ioni, so glad to see you back and soaping. I hope all went well when you went away. Looking forward to seeing your videos and the new ideas you will have brewing after being away from soaping. Your batch is beautiful and the colour is amazing. 😍😍
Hi Barbara ~ Thank you for watching my video and your thoughtful comment. My sister came through her surgery and recovery just fine. I did have some withdrawal symptoms from not making soap for so long though, LOL! I'm very happy to be back. :) ione
Ione, you are such a talented crafter. Lovely details, beautiful colors. Wishing you a wonderful season.
Hi Cam ~ Thank you for watching my video and taking the time to write such a lovely message. I appreciate it very much. Today is Thanksgiving and I hope you have a very happy one! :) ione
Oh I’m so happy to see you back! I’ve missed your videos!
Hi Mickell ~ I appreciate you watching my video and your sweet comment. Thank you! :) ione
@@EvesGardenSoaps of course! ❤️❤️ and thank you 🥰
Very elegant!
Thank you, Jaysea! I appreciate you watching my video and your lovely comment. :) ione
Hello Ioni it's so wonderful to see another video of you making soap on UTube ,What a beautiful colour, I've not heard of using cornstarch as an anchor before, I really must try this in soap. The colour of your cured bars is absolutely gorgeous
Hi Tanya ~ Thank you for watching my video and your sweet comment. I used kaolin clay and also benzoin powder to anchor scents for the first few years of soap making. I can't remember where I ran across the suggestion of corn starch, but I tried it and what a difference! The ratio is .1 oz (about 1 teaspoon) for every .2 oz (2/10 oz) of EO, if you want to try it. Happy soaping! :) ione
I use aloe vera juice in my soaps too!!!
Hi Stevie ~ Thank you for watching my video and taking the time to comment. I love adding aloe Vera juice, so many wonderful nutrients for skin! :) ione
Ohh Ms Ione this is beautiful!
I'm obsessed with that color now! 🧡
I just made a soap with 10x Orange today too. Definitely does have a strong color to it, but I used it as the colorant this time. 🍊
Thank you for watching my video! Don't you just love the 10x orange essential oil? I made another natural orange soap with it, as you did. by using the color from the EO. I put a piece of dried orange on the top. I love those kind of soaps! :) ione
So happy to watch your video. Been awhile. Beautiful colour.
Hi Karen ~ Thank you for watching my video and your sweet comment. I appreciate it very much! :) ione
You make the prettiest soaps. How do you come up with the designs and fragrances. Just lovely 😍
Hi April ~ Thank you for watching my video and your lovely comment. To answer your question, I love making soap and ideas just pop into my head, even when sleeping, LOL! :) ione
@@EvesGardenSoaps well you definitely have a gift. I love watching you create.
Orange is my favorite color and this one is beautiful. As for the red which was also lovely I was drying red geranium blooms thinking they may work as a colorant. Have not tried using it yet but it is something I want to try. 🤷♀️ Missed you and your creations!
Thank you for watching my video and your lovely comment. I hope your geranium blooms work nicely as a colorant for you. I haven't had much luck with plants. They've all turned brown in the lye. After watching many videos, I might try again with making an oil infusion instead of using the plant as-is. I've seen that work for some plants. Happy soaping! :) ione
I was so happy when I saw you posted a video Ione 💖
Hi Elizabeth ~ Thank you for watching my video and your thoughtful comment. I appreciate it very much! :) ione
Gorgeous!! Love watching your channel! -Momo
Hi Momo ~ I really appreciate you watching my video, and thank you for the sweet comment. It means a lot! :) ione
Beautiful orange. Perfect orange really.
Welcome back Ione, I was becoming worried. 💕
Those are adorable little Oranges. They would make nice little Salmonberries, also.
Didn't know that about Grapefruit fragrance oil as a stabilizer for Orange 10X, which is my favorite Orange scent. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers & Blessings 👍🤗
I see the comment below about your sister. Glad to know she is ok. Believe me I know how worried we can be about our sisters. I just found out my sister has 2 small tumors in her head, so very glad she moved back to our city and I can be close by.
@@cheryl739 Hi Cheryl ~ Thank you for watching my video and your thoughtful comment. You're so sweet! I found with both the small amount of Grapefruit FO and cornstarch, the scent holds for several months, unlike anything else I've tried. I'm very sorry to hear about your sister and hope she will be okay. Hugs
Beautiful where do you get the sugar beads
Hi Verna ~ Thank you for watching my video and your lovely compliment. To answer your question, you can get the little sugar balls anywhere that sells cake decorating supplies. I got these at Michael's Craft Store. :) ione
How do you use the cornstarch as a stabilizer?
Hi Jean ~ Thank you for watching my video. To answer your question, I use 0.1 oz of cornstarch (1 teaspoon) for every 0.2 oz of citrus essential oil, mixing it together and stirring frequently while I get everything ready for soap making. I've found that cornstarch works better than any clay or benzoin powder for keeping the scent in the soap. I've had the scent last for several months. Adding a small amount of citrus fragrance oil as well extends it even longer. I've had it last up to a year and over. The cornstarch gives the soap a very silky feel too! I hope this helps and happy soaping! :) ione
@@EvesGardenSoaps what great information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are a GEM
You are very welcome, Jean! :) @@learning2no
What are the measurements or weight of each bar?
Thank you for watching my video! To answer your question, this bar weighed 5.5 oz. and the measurements were, 2.5 in. x 3.75 in. :) ione
