Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.

Hi Everyone. I hope you enjoyed the video. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below and I will get back to you. Happy soaping everyone.
I just luv how informative you are. Just one question, you may have already answered it. Once I have taken all precautions with the soap dough, how long will it last all sealed up?
Hi, I don't think I do specifically mention it in the video (silly me) If it's all sealed up it will last for ages, easily 6 months to a year (I don't have any older than that). I do find it actually improves with ages, certainly after a few weeks it's better than it is initially
I Dream In Soap thank you 😊. I have everything I need to make cold processed soap just so scared to actually do it. Thank you again.
@@gracelynnrosesoapsandmore969 Don't be afraid. It's actually easier than hotel processed soap, if you know what you're doing.
I'm sure she can help you!!
Hi Lisa, thanks for this amazing video and for the info on Sorcery Soaps as well :) Do you think I can use wax paper in place of the cling wrap for lining the containers?
Anytime someone asks me how to make soap dough, I'm sending them here! This is fabulous! Thank you so much for the feature. FAr more than a mention, thank you, Lisa!
Hey Bee, thank you so much, well we'll be sending them back and forth between us then, so hopefully we'll get them covered. You are very welcome about the mention, there is no-one better for soap dough
Where is the soap recipie?? I can't seem to find it 😕
Thank you for such a detailed tutorial. I made 60 oz of soap dough last Saturday, and just had the opportunity to work with it now - a week later. Soft, pliable, and simply delightful. I watched this video easily five times before I felt confident enough to do it myself with my own recipe. You really made it so easy. Thank you so very much!
That is such excellent news, so proud of you. Have fun making soap dough things
This is the best video I’ve seen on how to make and store soap dough. I never realized I could just use my regular soap recipe. I’m going to give this a try. I’m so inspired by your beautiful soaps. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get to your level, but I know I can try some easier things. Thank you so much!!
I feel like I’ve learned something when I watch your videos; I also feel like a mystery has been solved and some trepidation about trying something new is gone and replaced with a bit of bravery. Thank you for sharing what you’ve learned! You are truly appreciated!
AW that's lovely to hear, thank you so much Yvette, that makes me so happy, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me 😊
Wow! I did not know I could use my regular recipe! Soap dough takes soaping to a whole new level. Thank you!!
Amazing!

Me too!
Lisa, as always, an interesting and educational video. I’m glad you ‘smooshed’ the soap dough on camera, as it gave me a sense of the correct consistency. I could almost feel it in my fingers. Additionally, your extruder hack using piping tips is a bang-on time and money saver. Thank you.
Thank you so much Sharon, I'm so pleased you found it useful. You are so good to always leave comments for me, I really appreciate it 😊

This was very helpful!
Hi Dreamland Creations thank you so much for your very kind comment 😊
I love your voice! Thanks for sharing this!!
Hmm, I replied to this and now it's come up again as not replied - oh well. Thank you so much, people often comment on my accent, which I obviously can't hear, but it's nice to know that my voice isn't annoying as that would be a disaster with the amount I talk on my videos :-)
You are an amazing teacher. Your knowledge is incredible and the way you are able to make your own tools, molds etc is awesome. I just love your videos and your creative soaps. One of my favorite channels by far. Thank you for sharing with us.
Oh, thank you so much Stephanie, that is such a lovely comment and it means a lot to me, thank you so much :-)
Thanks Lisa, your videos are excellent and you make beautiful products.
Thank you so much!
Your videos are so informative, thank you very much. I like the speed you go at, and I really get a lot from them. Thanks so much. Xx
You're welcome. 😍
Perfect timing Lisa. My extruder just arrived today, time to play. Great video but missed your happy face.
Thank you so much, Christine, ooh how exciting to get your extruder. Aw, sorry about the lack of normal intro. I was under real time pressure with this video and struggling to fit it in time wise, so that saved me a little bit of time. I'll be back on the next one :-)
Wonderful! Gréât!
Thank you so much Moira , that's very kind of you.
I absolutely love your videos, and just ordered more discs for the extruder I ordered. Everything from your videos to your soap, supplies, and packaging are just wonderful!
Thank you so much, that is so lovely of you, I really appreciate your support, it means a lot
Always learning with you. It is joy for me
Thank you so much Laure
Hi, Lisa! So glad that I found your channel! I love your work and you are a wonderful teacher! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! From a beginner soapmaker :)
Thank you so much Mel, so pleased you find my videos helpful, always feel free to ask questions if you need anything explaining. I try to make sure I get back to everyone :-)
Thank you. It is a great video!! Your tone of voice is soft and tender. Surely you are a great person😘😘😘
AW, such a lovely comment, thank you so much that's really kind of you and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment :-)
You're my favourite soapmaker and teacher. Best regards from Spain!!!
Thank you so much, that's so lovely of you. Missing Spain, we normally visit 2 or 3 times a year, our recent trip was cancelled (no surprise) Oh well hopefully soon :-)
The best soap channel ever😍❤️❤️❤️
That's so kind of you to say Magdoline Fedail, thank you so much 😊
Very informative Lisa. I make my own soap dough but I picked up a few tips here, thankyou x
Hi Kerry, lovely to see you, hope you are well, ooh glad you still got a few useful nits :-)
Great tips thanks 👍
Hi Pam thank you so much for your very kind comment 😊
Thank you so much this. I have been wanting to learn about soap dough.
Excellent news, thank you for leaving another comment for me Catherine, I appreciate it :-)
@@IDreamInSoap And now I am about to buy one more tool...the extruder. That Fimo one seems to have the best reviews. This is getting to be an expensive hobby since I don't market my soaps. I have made soaps for my family in the past, but never went in for the artistic elements. I just used EO scents I love and natural additives. Now I want to create all the beautiful designs I am seeing.
you are a genius!!
Thanks so much Raquel
Thank you so much for another great teaching video with so much information and advice, Lisa! Now I will definitely give it a go, it looks like lots of fun. And btw, red wine goes really well with dark chocolate😉! Have a lovely sunny weekend😊
Thank you so much Mag , you are so good to always leave comments for me, I really appreciate it. Hmm, now you're not the 1st person to say that about the wine, I've not had it with dark chocolate, that's obviously where I'm going wrong.😊
I always love your videos and have such a respect for you and your work ethics. Thank you for introducing me to sorcery 💕💕
Hi Mericel1 I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, it's so lovely to know that people like watching my videos and I'm really pleased you like Sorcery soaps too, Bee is fab
Wow, I'm so glad I found your channel. There are a lot of people making informative videos about soap but you're so thorough and cover so many topics -- thank you so much!
Hey Laura, thank you so much. I'm so pleased you like my videos, I do try really hard to give lots of good info and examples so they can be as useful as possible.
I had no idea that this was how soap dough was made! Now I have a better use for leftover soap batter ❤️ thank you so much!!
Excellent news, have fun with it, just make sure you seal it up really well.
Thank you for another great video. I have been wanting to try to make my own soap dough for awhile but never had the confidence. I might just give it a try now 🙂
Ooh, I hope you give it a go Rachel, even if you just use a bit of extra soap from a loaf that you're making as a tester.
Hi Lisa , very informative and well demonstrated. I remember watching MacGyver in the 80's. Happy Days !!
Hi Robin, thank you so much. I do like a good old MacGyver moment
Very informative video, thank you so much Lisa, i do make my own dough, but i gained a few ideas, love your calm voice and explanation
Thank you so much, I'm glad I was still able to give you a few little tips :-)
Thank you for this video it is very nice of you as always to share your tricks .👍
Hi Johanne thank you so much for your very kind comment 😊
This video is very timely! I am about to jump into a soap dough project myself. I've been watching Sorcery Soaps and a few others preparing. I even bought one of Bea's books. That's a brilliant idea about using the leftover soap from a pour and making soap dough out of it. I'm definitely going to put that tip to use. Also that vacuum sealer is a cool machine!
Excellent news, Bee is so great, you won't go far wrong having a good read of her blog posts. Just jump in and have a play with some soap dough, you'll love it. It does take quite a bit of time though
Hi Lisa ! I just wanted to pop on here and let you know that I followed your advice and Bee's advice to correct a few things that had gone wrong the first time around and then it worked ! I made a bunch of soap dough that way and could do it with my recipy :) so happy !!!!! thank you !
Woohoo, I love that, I'm so pleased. Thank you for letting me know, well done for trying again :-)
I enjoyed your video on soap dough very much! You are an excellent teacher. Your videos are so well organized and you have such a pleasant voice! Thank you.
AW that's lovely to hear, thank you so much Julie , and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me 😊
Thanks for sharing 🙏😍
Hi gitana timuji thank you so much for your very kind comment 😊
Very nice, thanks
😉👍
The extruder tips are brilliant for many mediums, thank you! DUH, a washer to narrow the diameter!
Excellent, he, he, glad you liked the washer thing :-)
Me encantan tus vídeos 😻 gracias por esta técnica la seguiré paso a paso Gracias!!! 💖💖💖
Estoy tan contenta, espero que funcione bien para ti
Gosh I needed this - I've just made my third batch (first worked, second crumbled) but this should help - thanks Lisa
Ooh, I hope it does help. If you have a crumbly one again, try wrapping it up and sealing tight, you never know it may improve (unless it's really crumbly)
Thank you so much for making this video! Thanks to you I tried making my own and it turned out great!!
You are so welcome! 😉
Made some soap dough following your instructions last weekend and it came out great. Smushed it after 24 hours and have left it for a bit, sealed up and pretty. Can't wait to give it a go with my extruder. Thanks so much for the video and the tips :)
Great job, ooh so exciting, I hope it works brilliantly
Hello from Texas! I really liked liked enjoyed your video. As a fellow Brit. It was a joy to see a British soap maker here in the States
Hello Katrina, thanks for your kind comment ❤️
very useful video.. thanks a lot
Hi Marwa Khamis thank you so much for your very kind comment 😊
I watched your video just in time , I was going to give up in the idea of putting little pumpkins in my halloween soap collection , but you are a life saver!!! I will do as you say and make some pumpkin embeds now *w*
Excellent news, I'm so pleased. I hope your pumpkins come out brilliantly
Thanks for sharing Lisa! I am going to try making soap dough. Although I’m not sure how well I’ll do after I make the soap dough (the easier part). Your video is very helpful! Blessings 💕
oooh excellent news, remember if the consistency isn't great straight away, wrap it up and let it sit again for a few day. Hope it goes well
Very helpful, thank you! I made some soap dough today for the first time, so fingers crossed it turns out nice.
Ooh excellent news I hope it came out really well.
Great
That's so kind of you to say AB Alb, thank you so much 😊
Thank you! I enjoyed watching your video. I have been making soaps for years and have made soaps with embeds but have never used soap dough for an embed. I usually had to make them from mp because it would set up easier and I could shave it into shapes, etc.. I always used either some type of mold or cut one out of a long piece of soap. So this might be something I look at doing in my near soap adventures! Thanks so much!
Hi Angelia, it's certainly a great way to make embeds if you want them cold process but don't want a two day job. If you always have some soap dough around you can just make them whenever you like. I have a whole box of it at all times :-)
Thanks again Lisa ... good clear information well presented many thanks ❣️❣️❣️❣️🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🐝🐝🐝🌈🌈
Hi Teresa lovely to see you again, thank you so much for taking the time to leave another comment for me 😊
Very well done! 👍. So easy to follow for those that are new to the soap dough experience. Warning to those new folks.......It can be addicting. 😉 Bea at sorcery soap is awesome, also!! Do like the vacuum packer idea, though. And shmooshing (😄). I would like mine to last longer. 👍
Thanks so much Cheryl, the vacuum packer does keep it really well and I completely agree Bee is fantastic
I knew it was answer #3 but I really wanted to pick #2 😂 thank you for the detailed info. Great as usual
He, he. I know. Mind you, there's nothing to stop you doing 2 and 3 😊. Thank you for always leaving comments Victoria. I really appreciate it.
I had to rewind to make sure I heard correctly, “ in true MacGyver fashion “ 🤣 and I found that there is a remake of this show out as well! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! You are so good at this.
He, he, yes I love to make things myself out of what I have, so pleased you enjoyed it
I live in Canada. . I'm baffled by the crazy soap making restrictions you have.. crazy.
Thank you for this rather informative video! And I really appreciate your humour. :)
Thanks...I bought the soap dough..in the same website...🤩🤩thanks I love it soon I will start with CP 🤩🤩😍😍
Hey, thanks a lot, yes I've heard so many good things about Bee's soap dough. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me :-)
Thank you
Hi Margaret thank you so much
Don't let any air get to it.😊 Great video, definitely gonna save this to my soap playlist. 👍🌹
I'm so pleased you found it useful
@@IDreamInSoap I did thanks. 😊👍🌹
I didn't realize how regulated you guys were in the UK! You actually have to pay to be able to sell each of your soap recipes so amazing to me... I also have a soap dough recipe on my channel that I call my Goldilocks recipe! It's not too soft and it's not too hard it's just right!
Thank you for sharing all of that information, it was a very well done! Have a great week and stay safe😁
Yes it's such a pain and it means any time I make a soap I have to choose between trying to do something with the exact fragrance and colours in the exact proportions as well, or making a soap that I can't sell, and there's only so much you need for personal use. So pleased you like the video, you have a fantastic week too :-)
Merhaba, kimsenin kolay kolay paylaşmak istemeyeceği bilgileri paylaştığınız için çok teşekkür ederim. Yolunuz hep açık olsun. Sabunlu günler ✨🌸
Merhaba çok teşekkür ederim Yararlı bulduğunuza sevindim ve bana yorum bıraktığınız için teşekkür ederim.
Thank u!!
You're welcome, thank you for watching all my videos :-)
You're quite relaxing to watch. Glad i've subscribed. I like the question style you applied to this particular vid. It felt like class but fun lol 😊
AW that's lovely to hear, thank you so much BossGirlDiaries, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me 😊
@@IDreamInSoap No, thank you chic for producing great content & You're most welcome 💜 I'm looking forward to the next vid!
Lisa, you are a true jewel 💎
Hello again Chase, thank you for all the comment, just catching up now, it's been very busy here
@@IDreamInSoap I made my first batch of soap 🧼 and it was not good. It came out oily and it started to separate. I don't know if I put too much oil or if I didn't mix well 💔
@@chaseriderthetruthchaser5988 You should not have been able to put too much oil in if you used your normal recipe which has gone through a lye calculator. It may be that you didn't get it emulsified properly so it has separated. Did you stick blend it to a good trace?
I have so much I want to say but don't know how to say it plus it would take up a lot of space. In short...Thank you for all the wonderful information that you are sharing and the time you put into your videos. I really have enjoyed everyone of your videos and look forward to the next one! Thanks for this video because I have been very curious about soap dough. Thanks Lisa! 💚
You are so welcome Karen, I love making the videos although I'm always surprised by just how long the whole process takes from making the soap (or whatever) then editing and everything. But The thought that people benefit from them and it helps people out makes me very happy :-)
I Dream In Soap Hi Lisa! I have to be honest with you, I forget about how much it takes just to post one video. Especially the videos you post. It is not as if you press the record button and then a download button and you are done! I think that is one of the reasons I really enjoy your videos. They are informative, truthful, a little on the fun side of things and much more!!! If I ever forget to tell you, please remember that I really appreciate all you do! I still haven’t made my first bar of soap but after watching your videos I really think I can make soap now and even the kind with embeds! Once I get my mold, I will make me some soap!!! Thanks for all you do Lisa!
Thank you Lisa I really appreciate you taking the time to explain how to make the soap dough. I was taking mine to a thick trace putting it in a ziplock bag pressing the air out and refrigerating till it was ply able work it out the next day and wrapping with cling wrap. But it was sticky. Thanks again.
Hey Terrie, thanks a lot. I don't think you were too far off, at least you were wrapping it. Ooh I hope you get some nice non sticky soap dough
MINE WAS STICKY TO. UGHHHHH
Hi Lisa! So I just watched your transforming soap.... Just WOW! The comment section wasn't there, so thought I give you a shout out on this one :) You've inspired me. Now I want to try embeds! LOL Take care and thanks again for the wonderful videos!
Ooh well that's odd, no comment section, I'm sure it use to have one. I will go and check it out. Thanks for letting me know Tami
11:25 hahahaha.
Fair play to you. What you just showed us requires an extraordinary amount of work and dedication.👏👏
Thanks so much :-)
Amazing video, Lisa 😊 I still haven't tackled soap dough, but I really want to. Soon soon...
Your little quiz in the video was comical, lol. Don't worry, I guessed the third answer. Although I can't prove it.
I appreciated all the extruder information. Hope you're staying well, Lisa! ❤️
Hey Shonna, thank you so much. Ooh yes do try some, even if you just seal up some extra batter that you get (I know you do, I've seen you :-) ) you can have a play
@@IDreamInSoap haha, yes, I often have extra batter and just do whatever with it. But I should do soap dough, for sure.
I love you 😩❤️
AW, thank you Tracy and I love you too for always watching my videos and leaving comments :-)
Hi Lisa!
I made a larger batch than needed for the confetti soap I’m making. Going to now use the excess soap for soap dough. This is my first time, wish me luck! 😀
That is excellent, a great way to use up the extra and then have handy soap dough available when you need it. Good lick, keep it wrapped, and remember even if it's not great when you 1st unwrap it, say after a day, just wrap it up again and it will keep improving, don't give up on it. But hopefully it will be great straight away.
