F A Q S
Why doesn’t your video have a recipe and supply list? This video is not a tutorial. Please check out the helpful links above.
How do I get started in soapmaking? Start off by researching. Educate and then experiment. Be sure to follow all proper safety precautions. A great starting place is the beginner cold process soapmaking series by SoapQueenTV here on CZcams. You can then purchase all the supplies you need at Bramble Berry. Lovin Soap Studio also has a beginner series on CZcams.
Why don't you share your cold process soap recipe? Our recipe is proprietary. We are contractually obligated to keep our recipe a secret. I do occasionally share a test recipe. I highly recommend Bramble Berry, Lovin' Soap, and The Nerdy Farm Wife for free recipes. Those resources are a great starting point and then you can tweak your favorite recipe to make it your own.
Where do you buy your oils? We purchase our oils in bulk at Blossom Bulk, Soapers Choice, Jedwards International, and Wholesale Supplies Plus.
Where did you buy your molds? My husband builds all my wood molds. My silicone molds are from various suppliers.
Where did you buy your soap planer? My husband built the soap planer for me.
Where did you buy your soap cutter? We purchased our soap cutter at Bud’s Woodshop.
Where did you buy your soap loaf splitter? Our loaf splitter was purchased from Smith Creek Studio.
Where do you buy your soaping containers? My pitchers are from School Masters and my large plastic containers are from Webstaurant Store.
Where do you buy your fragrance oils? We purchase our oils from many different suppliers. We don’t have a one-stop-shop for all of our oils. We blend the majority of the fragrances we work with.
Where do you buy your colors? We buy our colors at Bramble Berry, Nurture Soap, and Mad Micas.
Where do you buy your coconut milk? I was buying So Delicious Organic Coconut Milk on Amazon but I think you all bought them out! Ha! I now buy Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk. Please don't buy them out. I need coconut milk. lol
Where do you buy your soap boxes? We usually buy our boxes from Wholesale Supplies Plus or Elements Bath and Body.
How do you design and print your labels? I use Adobe Photoshop to design my labels. I use full sheet labels and print with our HP Laser Jet Pro printer.
Where do you buy your packaging materials? We buy our packaging materials at various suppliers including Paper Mart, ULine, Nashville Wraps, Eco Enclose, and Amazon.
Do you give classes? No, I do not offer classes. However, if you need help, leave me a comment and I’ll see what I can do.
Why are the comments disabled on your older videos? Due to some very negative, hateful, and vile comments, I am no longer allowing commenting on older videos. The older videos seem to be the ones targeted. Newer videos may have approved comments for a time. I welcome decent, respectful comments.
What you're describing at the end is West Virginia. Hot summers and cold Winters. It's almost perfect if you love all the seasons. But maybe I'm just biased because I've lived here my whole life. Very beautiful soap!
Nice! My dad's whole side is from West Virginia with some Ohio and Pennsylvania influence. I've only been once and that was in the Fall. It was spectacular!
@@moriversoap must be the upper Panhandle. That's where I'm from.
I love snow so much!!! I don’t do heat very well. I love love love love when we get tons of snow!!! Watch the snow outside the window with some hot chocolate and a great book!!!
I am the exact same way!
So glad I got to spend more time with ya this week! Have a merry Christmas
Thank you Jamie! Merry Christmas!
The blue colors came out so nice, I love how this turned out :)
Wow, Holly that's a big pot of soap to be lifting! You go girl. Love it!
Thank you Karen! It's heavy but I'm getting used to it.
I think the glitter hit that bar of soap perfectly. Just highlight is it's a beautiful white at the top and just enhance the blues way to go Holly good soap
Very nice soap, its always wonderful when we are surprised at just how great an idea comes together! Great soap as always Holly. Merry Blessed Christmas!
Thank you bunches!
Love you loads - thanks for sharing so much with us! Happy New Year! God bless you and yours!
Fantastic! Love your videos Holly. Feels like I'm spending time with a friend. 💕
Thank you Tami!
Beautiful! I love how creamy the white looks
Thank you!
Miss Holly and family, wishing you a very peaceful and merry Christmas. Your soaps are making so many of my friends happy; I wish I could record their reactions and comments to send you. I kept the Winter Wonderland bar for myself. Seeing you make it is the best!
Awe Tink, thank you so much! That sounds so fun!
I love those sweet messages you gave to this soap!!!
I've been binge watching your Christmas soap making videos and this one caught my eye as I love all shades of blue, it's a joint 1st favourite with your Holly Jolly soap, boy did you pipe a lot of holly leaves and then all those red berries, you are a joy to watch Holly and one of my favourite soap makers to watch. 😊
Thank you Charmain!
I Literally just made this color scheme today. I chose a Royal blue, a cobalt blue micas and a beige but it started to look teal and I was like oh no! I covered it and checked it and it turned more turquoise blue and I was like okay...whew! I used Banana peels in my recipe and it made the lye water brown....But i hope it turns out nice!
Just beautiful! Thank you again for sharing your day with us.
Thank you Liza!
Nice. It can be called “Creamy and Dreamy”.
Yes, that name fits perfectly! Beautiful soap! ❤
Thank you!
Hey!!Holly, I just so needed to watch this to relax and calm down after another Doom nd Gloom day....😪. I lose myself in your Soap World. Thank you 💜
I'm glad it helped you Sarah! YAY!
Hey!! Holly you really are WONDERFUL! I🤗 found myself saying"making messes" today.😀.
Enjoy Christmas 🎄 💜
Me Too, Holly!! About the cabin!! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Doesn't it sound so nice?! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
oh I really love the snow on top!! It looks beautiful!
Thank you!
It's beautiful. The color is very relaxing.
Thank you!
Beautiful 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Love it!!
Thank you! That was one of my favorite batches from that season.
Bahahaha I so enjoyed your talk about Winter and snow!! That's our life here in Canada!! You'd fit right in alright but you've gotta get that metric system down first! 😂 Not to worry Holly, it's quite easy to learn, it's all multiples of 10, 100 and 1000....it's quite easy once you see it!
Lovely soap as usual Holly!! 😍 💞 I've enjoyed watching all your blogs too, thank you for doing that. Have a great holiday and best wishes to you and your family!! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you Nancy! Where I lived in Montana was pretty close to the Canadian border. I do pretty well with the metric system in grams and such using the scale but just pouring into a cup, I've really not paid much attention. LOL But I all my cups are in ml so I've been learning it as I go. Merry Christmas to you!
My kinda colors! Looks great.
Thank you Sherry! This was such a great batch.
So beautiful and wonderful craftsmanship
Thank you!
I love these colors and swirl! Where do you get your gloves? I just love blue! I must get some more of your soaps. Thank you Holly 💞💕
Thank you! I get gloves wherever I can. It's been very difficult this year. The lighter ones are probably what we had left from Sam's Club.
It reminds me of stonwash blue, it's beautiful 😊⛸⛸⛸
Oh nice! Thanks!
Thank you for the video! It’s a gorgeous soap.
Thank you Peg!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Wow I haven’t took part in the soapy community for a while because I simply haven’t been able to make soap and I’m jealous 😂 but boy seeing you make soap and hearing your voice.. I’ve missed you! Much love and merry Christmas hun x
Awe thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
Beautiful soap.
Hi Holly, I am new to homemade soaps and have made at least 15 different batches, successfully... yay! The only problem I seem to be having is getting the right temperature for the more detailed soaps. Do you have any suggestions? I want to thank you for your wonderful videos. I have anxiety and your videos literally relax me. Beautiful soaps too!
Really pretty colors Holly!
Thank you!
Beautiful soap!
Thank you Arlene!
Beautiful soap!!
Thank you Penny!
I grew up in northern Idaho and we had a ton of snow. Winter meant snowboarding, snowmobiling, tubes, sleds, round tobbagans, hot chocolate and hours of fun for the whole neighborhood.
Gorgeous soap as always. When will the new collection be ready for purchase on your site? Thank you!
That sounds just like us! We had a wonderful time. Going to the ranch in Wyoming at Christmas was just as fun. My poor kids haven't even had the chance to sled 'for reals.' I am planning on having my next release towards the end of January. I'm pushing to get a bunch finished up so they'll be curing. I suspect I'll pick January 28th but we'll see.
Sooo pretty!!
Thank you Sarah!
Love the glitter girlfriend!!
Yay! Me too!
Here I thought you “suited” up for safety when in reality...you’re just cold. LOL. Beautiful soap as always. A very Merry Christmas to you and the mister.
Only for a short time in the winter. LOL I prefer it around 60-65 but anything lower and I'm cold and higher and I'm hot. LOL It's miserable wearing all the layers in the summer with the AC going. But I still 'suit up for safety'. Merry Christmas to you as well!
@@moriversoap - My preference is for 73-80 and a cabana boy to step and fetch...LOL
Beautiful soap. I would love to live in the mountains and have snow. I grew up in Southern California with no snow my first real experience with snow I was in my early 30s, and I loved every minute of it, since then I have wanted to live where it snows. Someday! Have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Me too Charlotte! I love the snow! Merry Christmas to you!
@Sadnessis MYlife I feel like your comment really is a downer. I'm sorry you live in a place where you don't see the sun. Here in the US (excluding Alaska), we can live in the northern states (even Charlotte's state of California has snow up north) and have lots of snow and loads of sun in the winter. It's fantastic and quite idyllic. We also have hot summers in most northern states as well. I have seen some of these 'downer' comments before and I'm sorry you're in a sad place (even your profile name says that) but I just ask that you not be so negative on what others wish and dream for. You can wish and dream for a warm place also.
It's beautiful,❄️
Thank you!
Sooo pretty
Thank you!
I would love to work with you it just looks like so much fun. Smell so good up there I bet. Such beautiful soap.
Thank you Pam!
Beautiful
Thank you!
It's so beautiful
Thank you Michelle!
I also make soap❤️you are quite an inspiration ❣️❣️You always do such an awesome job💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍
Beautiful 🥰
Thank you!
Very pretty
Thank you!
BTW I'm going to order some of your soap soon as you open back up. I have one big problem tho, I won't know which to order BC I want them all.
Thank you Pam! I appreciate that!
Just love your videos, if you don’t mind where did you buy the fragrance for this soap. Tysm
Thanks! I use a dupe of Secret Wonderland fragrance. I have used different ones from the suppliers.
Very nice soap,
Thank you!
Very nice work l like it
Thank you!
That is very pretty. I like the idea of incorporating coconut milk. How to avoid the scorching though? Do you have to have lye and oils at room temperature? Or doesn’t coconut milk scorch like regular milk?
Thank you Kani! I use a small amount of milk so there isn't a significant reaction at all. I do soap at room temp.
@@moriversoap Ok, great!
Hi Holly. Am intrigued that you add your coconut oil just before the lye. I was always told the sugars in the milk would scorch. I want to do it your way. Anything I should watch out for? Thank you in advance.l love all your soaps.☃️ Iris
Hello and thank you! I use a small amount of milk so the scorching is a non-issue. If I add more, closer to 50% of lye liquid amount, I will get a bit of a stronger smell from the reaction.
@@moriversoap Holly. Thank you so much. Of course I meant coconut milk. You knew that. Am very grateful for your advice . Will be putting it into practice soon.😊
Nunca dice a k temperatura une los aceites con la sosa ni las cantidades pero muy bonitos diseños yo tambien hago jabones
Hi your videos are amazing, just a quick question where did you get your stick blender ?
Thank you! The stick blender in this video is from Amazon. It's a Kitchen Aid. Some of my newer videos have a direct link. It isn't super easy to find on Amazon as it's an option within a different blender listing.
Hello can you please show how you cute the soap from the large soap mode before cutting in the soap cutter
Check out this video: czcams.com/video/Sj1g8Fgazss/video.html
Love your videos! How do you prevent soda ash on your bars ? Thanks!!
Thank you! I find it helps to pour at least at a medium trace, spray often with 91-99% alcohol, cover the soap and no peeking during the gel, insulate if needed for the soap to gel, and let it stay in the mold until it is FULLY cooled down. I usually let mine sit in the mold for 2-3 days to best prevent gel. But my batches are large. A smaller batch would not take as long to cool down.
I live in Carthage MO can you give me the Information on where you buy your soap cutter please.
I buy my cutters from Bud's Wood Shop on Etsy.
wow
Thanks!
Hi Holly! I’m new to CP soaping and just wondering if you could help out on a fragrance. I Love Mrs. Myers snowdrop scent and was wondering if you knew of someone that had a fragrance close to that. It’s described as citrusy and floral. Love watching your videos and have learned much from you!! Keep up the great work!! Love from West Virginia ❤️
Thank you Amanda! I will have to do some research!
@@moriversoap Holly, don’t go to any trouble!! I just thought you would know since you’ve been doing this a while. ❤️
Can I ask where you got your stick blender please? I’m struggling to find one long enough to accomodate the batch sizes I do now! From an NZ soaper 😊
Hey, try online restaurant suppliers that could ship to you, I’ve seen them offer a few different sizes!
Hi Holly! I got my stick blender on Amazon. I've looked for the link but it doesn't seem to be available anymore. Amazon claims I didn't buy it there either...but I really thought I did. Even my email claims I never bought it. HAHA! I agree with Lucy, check out your restaurant supply options.
I want to learn to make soap business like you
Oh no! Where did your makers vlog videos go? I sat down with my coffee to watch the last one you uploaded and they are all gone!!
They are unlisted since they are causing a major drain on my channel. I'm sorry. I thought they were fun but they are causing my channel to suffer.
@@moriversoap oh no! That’s so sad. I’m sorry to hear they were causing problems. They were a lot of fun to watch. I hope you’ll consider bringing them back. Maybe a separate channel for them? It seemed like all your normal viewers really liked them. BTW, I am loving the wax melts I ordered. The snow kissed has such great throw, I’m only putting a tiny bit in the warmer at a time!
@@alis9840 That's great! Thank you! You should still be able to watch it if you already had a link. If not, here it is: czcams.com/video/1D1lFSGSWlE/video.html
Oh! Thank you! That was a bit like watching an entire season and missing the finale :D I didn't have a link that I know of. Unless its buried in my email. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hi, my name is Demi and I love...your channel. It’s very therapeutic to watch. I’m knew to creating soap, body products, candles & wax melts. But my biggest struggle is Creating a name and logo. If you don’t mind me asking, Did you have yours professionally done? The logo I created on a free logo website is now being used. The logos are still on the website for other people to use. All they have to do is change the name and color. I’m seeking some direction in the matter, from a professional.
Thank you Demi! I do all my own designs.
Ok Thank you!! That was very helpful. Happy Holidays!!!! You and your family.
May i ask what stick blender you use?
It is a KitchenAid. I haven't been able to find a link to the one I bought.
What are the dimensions òf your mold?
That looks like my 16 x 18 inch mold.
