    Thank you for doing these videos. Most soap makers do not show a large scale production such as yours and it is much appreciated. I will soon be at the point where I have no choice but to scale up to the size of your production and these videos are really helpful.

    Joanna, I just love you! Thank you SO much for sharing your recipe, because I've heard from another soaper that it is "rude" to ask for someone's recipe, so for you to offer yours is just, to me, very gracious of you. I am just getting started, and I absolutely LOVE making soap, so I am THRILLED that I found you, and Katie from Royalty Soaps, because you actually WANT to help us "newbies" to the point of becoming the best, like you! Thanks for ALL you are doing in the soap making community...you rock. :-)

    Okay! Okay! Okay! I am stunned beyond imagination. I have watched two of your videos (just found you today). You are the "Queen Extraordinaire of Soap Making"; plus you have turned your husband into your Soap Honey---absolutely magical. Thank you for sharing your talent to help newcomers like me become better crafters who can dream of someday experiencing the possibilities of what we see in you. You are blessed and you have blessed us. Thank you for sharing.

    Absolutely great instruction. Can I ask, how do you keep the fresh goats milk from overheating (turns orange and smells like ammonia)? I see so many using powdered goats milk.

    • @TheSoapGal
      @TheSoapGal  Před rokem

      Using a 50/50 lye solution helps keep the temperature lower for your lye so it's not scalding when you add the goats milk. You can reference my base recipe on makesy.com here! makesy.com/blogs/news/how-to-make-cold-process-soap
