Hey hey Sudsers, so a few things! First, because I'm not a "real channel" yet, I don't have a community tab, which makes the giveaway for a $500 box of soapy love thing tough. So here's what we are gonna do. There's a link below to my "discussion" tab - you can use that link on your computer and add your comment to the giveaway thread. Or you can comment on this specific video (like your favorite color or smell or book or video game or something equally random) and I'll add you to the giveaway list. Either way.

To the soap we are making today, I get froggy. Because I'm tired of cold process soap makers acting like they're fancier than M&P soap makers. So we are making an all natural melt and pour base from scratch. Recipe in the video. Let's take our hats off to the MP soap makers and the hot process soap makers of the world. - Jak na to + styl
So for the giveaway here - give me your favorite book or color or scent or something. For the rest of the video, enjoy me getting froggy. 😂
Jasmine & Rose & Gardenia...all the colors.... favorite books as a kid: Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. As an adult... I mostly read articles. I haven’t gotten into a good book in ages. I need to though.
My favorite colors are teal/aqua, and purple. But I cannot pick a favorite book because I read too much and end up liking a lot and then I can’t narrow it down to a single one or even a few. Same for movies, and songs. I just enjoy!😊
And Congrats on hitting 500 subs! 🎉
Sandalwood and mandarin. And I’ve got back into Batman Arkham city so much fun
Joseph Behunin I forgot all about that game! Damn. Now I want to go back and replay. I’m doing a new skyrim replay right now. It’s been a minute!
Soap & Clay it may still be on the dc sale. Got the entire collection for $15!
I'll admit I thought M&P was the cheater, lame way to make soaps.... until I tried to use it for some designs that aren't possible with regular HP or CP. That stuff isn't cheater. In many ways, it can be the hardest to do. So, sorry to all the M&P peeps. I judged you prematurely & wrongly. Respect.
Do you mean the melting and pouring part? Or the making the base?
Thank you for supporting melt and pour!! To be honest I started off making cold process but realized that because I was a beginner and due to my apartment being so small I couldn’t carry all of bulk oils etc. The pre-packaged oils are great but when you are starting off and you make 10 bars it’s so hard to sell. So I switched to melt and pour and I found more success and was able to give custom orders faster etc. Plus for me this is a second job/hobby that I hope turns into a full-time gig but for now it’s just for extra money to help pay medical expenses and bring some creativity back into my life since I hurt my back 2 years ago and suffered permanent nerve damage. So I can’t really do dancing in musicals anymore but I can make soap!
I can’t dance in musicals, but in my mind I’m dancing all the roles. 😂 I’m so sorry to hear about your injury! I’ve seen some amazing melt and pour soaps out there - it’s harder in so many ways than cold process!
Soap & Clay I’ve seen you dance!! You can dance 💃🏼
If I may ask, where or how do you sell your soaps?
I make mostly cold process but I absolutely love melt and pour, I’ve never ever seen melt and pour makers less talented or less deserving. We are all one big soaping family. Plus melt and pour you can pretty much use ANY fragrance you like! X
Re any fragrance. The fact that you are adding fragrance, herbally infused oil and or essential oils AFTER any cooking, does this mean that the beneficial properties and fragrance survive better than otherwise (in CP and HP)?
Absolutely agree❤ I feel like essential oils stay stronger in melt and pour versus my cp and hp soap batches.
I can’t tell you how proud I am of myself!!! So satisfying! Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge and experience with us all. You are simply the best! I made 2 batches for my granddaughter and I to make soapy things together. ❤
Thank you for this! I thoroughly enjoy listening to you. You are a straight no chaser kinda woman. Most others to me that make soaps seems like M&P is just meh.
Thanks again!
I absolutely love how you address the judgemental issues in the soaping community. I've been soaping for years and only recently started social media just to see all this nastiness. The only golden rule I've ever known was that ....there must be lye to make real soap. By the way...clay soaps are the absolute best in my opinion
Thanks for watching! I actually left all of the soaping forums years ago because of the division, misinformation, and judgmental stuff because that’s not how I want to see soaping. I rejoined all of these things when I started to CZcams channel to see what soapers were struggling with so I could provide some videos that would help, and I was bummed to see that all of the same drama still exists. And yes, clay soaps rock!! ❤️
My stick blender did the EXACT same thing, last week! Lol And same brand as yours. I was BUMBED! lolAnd was my absolute favorite! I bought the RED one, to replace it. I don't know if I need to just get used to the new one? Drill holes in it for the air it "swallows".....Or just return it! It was missing the plastic attachment also. I figured it would be ok!!! NOPE!
Are we allowed to have favorite soap makers, I love your so honest and funny!😍😍🤗
I just found your channel. I’ve been making soap for a few years now. I always to make melt and pour and wasn’t sure how. This is great. Thank you for explaining how to
I appreciate this video so much! Thank You!
I make cold process soap with tallow - a very traditional method but i am not about to be mean to M&P soapers, i find the negative comments about this process mean. I am glad you have done this video - it's good to silence the critics
I just love how u keep it real. I have really learned alot from u. I love how u put it out there and not a judgemental person.
Your actually a blast can't wait to watch what ever u bring out. Oh cool receipe.
Thank you for an awesome recipe. I was looking for a way to make my own melt and pour! I normally do cold process, but I've been looking for a way to make my bases.
I have never knew you had a Chanel I have been binge watching lol, I discovered you about a month ago and haven’t stopped, love the fact you’re real with real grown up words and intelligent at the same time, great job love it! I’m a huge fellow soaper
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you❤️💓🌍🙏🏻
Thank you for this video. And THANK YOU for sharing your kind hearted soul the way that you do. Life truly is too short for meanness.💖
You are the best and kindest.
I love what your doing!!! Your Amazing! Please keep it coming!!! Fantastic
Thank you for this recipe.
That looks like so much fun. I hope to be able to make own base some time. I like goats milk base so hopefully I can make that somehow. Love your channel and videos. I can barely watch bramble berry videos but love pretty much most of yours.
Thank you for this recipe! I love making hot process soap.
I recently came across your channel and I have to say, I love watching your videos. You’re just so honest and straight forward plus you make me laugh! 😂 My favorite color is green and my favorite book is the Outlander Series, can’t choose just one! And I love all scents, why pick just one of those either! 🤓
Thanks for this video! I wanted to try my hand at making my own M&P base. I was feeling a little down about using just melt and pour bases but you have changed my mind, so God bless you! I am definitely going to try to replicate this recipe for my own growth! Have a super blessed day!
Girl, you rock! 💚
Thank you for your explanation I am so learning the thing😉
I see what you see. The looking down on M&P. I'm the opposite. I LOVE cold and hot process. Too scared to attempt M&P! Thanks for all your info!
I make my own melt and pour base, can't wait to see the Shea and mango ,cocoa butter
Thank You. I will do this one.
I’m so glad you shared this! Trying it and new subscriber here! 😊👍❤️
*description of video* oops sorry girl, I need to read directions!! 😜Love the videos, love the products. My favorite color is green (currently) painting every room of the house a shade of green. So soothing. Favorite book is to Kill A mockingbird ❤️
I'm really impressed
My favorite fragrance is lavender and patchouli mixed. It’s very nostalgic for me!!
You use separate oils but at the same time?
Thank you so much for this!! I am exited to give it a try.
Favorite color: purple 😃
Do the recipe, let me know how it goes! ❤️
I doubled the recipe and it is perfect! So much better than I anticipated- thank you
I say that because glycerin usually dries me out. But this is a beautiful formula.
I have so many favorite books. I want to share one of my favorite kids book. It's called Bedtime at the Swamp. I just ordered it for some little sweeties I know. It has fun chants and great illustrations. I bet the Soap and Clay Kidlets would love it!
I'm beginning to wonder if you in the same groups I am in. Because yeah.... people are mean! I am getting back into my soap business I had 13 years ago. I feel that I sometimes need to relearn things. So much great changes in the industry in that time. Your videos have been the best at using to learn and remember stuff. Plus your voice and video set up is very down to earth and to the point. I like it thank you.
Thank you thank you thank you
My favorite books lately have been anything pertaining to soap making and making any other “soapy things”. I love the color purple as well. I am so inspired by your videos and been binge watching for a week. I would love to pick your brain a bit ok a lot at some point. I really think we could become great friends. Thank you for being so transparent in your videos.
Thanks so much for watching! I remember the soap obsession days well; in many ways I’m still there, but have found time to read other books lately. Which is cause for celebration! 😂
my favorite color: purple
my favorite scent: gingham (from b and b)
my favorite book: stone fox
i'm a huge fan and love all the soaps i ordered!
i hope i have a business like yours some day!
Amen to that!!
Wonderful video!!
My favorite color is teal and my favorite scent is ginger and grapefruit..Which I NEVER would have guessed would be even remotely close to AMAZING!!! If you made a soap with that scent I would 10000% buy it! Lol. Love, love, love your videos and products, you're so inspirational and so open about your processes and its amazing!! 😍
Awww thanks so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. And the products. And the things. 😂 Ginger grapefruit is an interesting combination - I’m going to play with that tomorrow. Thanks!
@@MrsSoapAndClay yay I'm excited!! I smelled a candle the other day that was ginger and grapefruit expecting it to be bad and was super surprised at how good it was!
Ooh I am excited to try this. I currently make a melt and pour from scratch but I love that you used butters and clay in this. I have been binge watching your videos and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Hey! Thanks for watching! This is a really great m&p base recipe; the inclusion of the butters and clays seems to solve some of the skin drying issues I’ve experienced with other bases. Take the cleansing number down a bit, up the moisture, etc. :)
Soap & Clay quick question for the castor to olive ratio? 4 oz olive 1 oz castor? Or something else?
So I put in this batch 1.5oz castor, and the rest olive to get to the 5oz mark. So about 10% castor oil in this formulation. 😄
Soap & Clay thank you so much! As soon as I get my dishes cleaned from yesterday’s soap I will get started on this! 😛
Excellent video.
I love you! THank you!
Color's! I love big bold colors. All of them. I make soap for extended family and the bossy females dont like when I color my soaps to much. They stain my washcloths!!! Love them anyways!
Loved this‼️‼️
So excited to try this!
It’s a great recipe - you’ll love the results. Be prepared for the time suck, though. 😂
My favourite book is Wuthering Heights. My favourite colour is turquoise blue, favourite scent, vanilla. 😊
I love your sas!!!
My favorite color for the vast majority of my life was black (I know, not a color in the technical sense). I’m now completely about orange. Not sure why I swung so hard, but orange now gives me much life! Don’t read much anymore (fall asleep immediately) but The Greatest Showman is my faaaave movie and I love resiny earthy smells, patchouli, sandalwood, hinoki, etc. ❤️ u, S&C.
Oh, so you like the hippy smells? 😂 Mr Soap & Clay’s favorite colors are also orange and black.
I love this! I hate melt and pour because my skin is so sensitive and the melt and pour doesn’t agree with my skin but this seems awesome!
Thanks for the tutorial 👍. With reference to “bad mouthing” melt & pour soap makers I suppose it’s a bit like if I sell a paint by numbers painting does that make me an artist or a con artist, or if I use a Betty Crocker mix to make cakes am I a baker or a faker? I have no need to bad mouth anyone as I don’t give a crap what they do or their standards…. Now I’m off to try out your method using my own recipe :-)
My favorite color is purple! ❤️
I love melt and pour. I made soaps many years ago and it was all mnp and people loved it. I now make cold process but I have some people that only want goats milk mmp so I like to make people happy. I also see many talented mnp soap makers that make gorgeous soaps and it is major talent to make mnp look like they do. I would die for the patience they have. It’s an art. I like your recipe and I’ll have to make some time in my non busy quarantined schedule and make some! I have a couple of stick blenders I don’t care for so why not? Btw, I laughed when you mentioned being froggy. Sometimes I tell my husband, I’m feeling froggy. Just giving you some warning!
So like 6 years ago, I was vending a Ren Faire and another soaper had a booth set up. I like going around and meeting the other vendors, especially the soapers, so I wandered into her booth and was checking out these beautiful soaps that she had clearly put so much time and effort and creativity into. And she looked at me, like apologetically, and said “it’s just melt and pour.” It’s NOT just melt and pour; it’s artistry. And unique. And still soap, and a soap that will make every customer’s skin feel wildly better than whatever detergent bar you can pick up at the grocery store. Her craft was valuable and she should be proud of what she created. So I only ever get froggy in the soaping world for two reasons: perpetuating false info without any scientific backing, or belittling other soapers because their methods don’t look like your methods. So whenever I drop videos like this, it’s because I’ve read too much bullshit on a forum and need to purge myself of the toxicity I consumed. 😂
@@MrsSoapAndClay I appreciate your honesty and not being a soap snob.
I’m just starting so I’m a bit scared of lye and messing up the recipe. Eventually, I’d love to do it all by scratch… it for now, at least, this will be my go-to.
I agree I started off making hot processed soap now I’m ready to make my melt and pour from
Scratch Cold processed soap making is easy a baby can do it ‼️I haven’t seen those soap makers calling themselves soap challenge club do this😂
Hello, I have been watching you since you started and I LOVE YOU and your family! I have made this recipe and love it. I would love it if you would make a video explaining how much glycerin goes in and why and if any of my recipes will work for melt and pour. It's been a godsend to my business. Thanks!
My favorite color is orangey-pink.
You are so kind to say that’s not cool
Thank you so much for your video and commentary. I was wondering can we use Shea butter to substitute for the mango butter? I don’t have mango butter.
Also, do you have a video to make a clear melt and pour base? Thank you so much!
I love that movie
Honestly my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice.
Fav color is def teal. Favorite book is really any true crime but ill say Ann Rule since she's a fellow Washingtonian :) scent
Im a sucker for any citris e.o.
P.s. congrats on 500. The sky's the limit :-)
I’ve never read any of her stuff, but I do like crime novels. I’ll have to check it out!
I have to say, I absolutely LOVE your attitude and kudos for calling a spade a spade! I have been trying to find a way to make a melt and pour base so my niece can make soap with me. She was making melt and pour soaps and people loved them, but her sources started sending bad quality products. She also has 2 small children and doesn't want to mess with lye. Is there a way to make it using a cold process method? I have been searching online for weeks trying to find one, and they all come down to a hot process, which I am not opposed to, just would prefer a cold process. Thanks for making me laugh today ;)
I made it and it all seemed well. I used 14 oz of glycerine and it hasn't stopped sweating . Have you any ideas? I still want to maintain a soap using natural ingredients. It melted and coloured very well and moulded nicely, just the sweating is quite bad. It also has a lovely feel and loads of bubbles! If I can add anything you think might help it would be great!Thanks! Maddy
Thank you for sharing,
I would live to know what kind of melt and pour calculator app do you use.
Thanks for getting back 😊
Thank you for sharing the process and recipe. Do you use NaOH or KOH?
thank you for not adding any other nasty chemicals like titanium dioxide or sorbitol or whatever else we find nowadays on M&P bases. I haven't been able to make M&P soaps because i never trusted any of the bases offered.
One question though[pardon if i missed the answer] HOW to store it? I'm planning on making a huuuge batch to later make my soaps but im wondering if i could maybe freeze it?
Lol. You quoted Emporer's New Groove.
Hii :) after the melt and pour is made & has harden already, do you have to wait a few days or weeks to then remelt it?
The only time I had a problem with melt and pour soaper was when she insisted her soap was better than the other soaper(I was not a vendor) at a craft fair because her soap didn’t contain lye.
Ha! That is wild! And not the first time I’ve heard that. 😂
They technically all contain lye don't they?
Can you substitute any butters and clay you want? Wondering how far I can experiment with my soap base for my shampoo bars. One lady also recommended using arrowroot as well. What are your thoughts on that?
Hi! Do you cook it on high? And how long for that last cook? Thanks for your awesome help!
Favorite color is coral. A couple of my favorite scents are coconut and citrus.
Me and citrus have a RELATIONSHIP. ❤️ 🍊 🍋
@@MrsSoapAndClay Yes it is the best! I'm in love with Yankee Candles scent Pink Sands too, it's in all my cars. 🥰
I JUST DID A PINK SANDS DUPE!!
@@MrsSoapAndClay oh my goodness I need that in my life!
Thank you🙏 because I love mixing melt and pour with cold process and awesome blend of butters!😉😉
I tried this recipe yesterday and it turned into a gooey sticky loaf like a sticky fudge 🤣 Do you think that I did not cook it long enough? Or I did not "beat it into submission" long enough? Or cooked it too hot/cold with the glycerin after it turned into a paste? I really like the butters in this recipe and would love to make it work...
Never mind, got it
Thank you so much for the recipe! I usually make cold process soap but I’ve been wanting to use melt-poor so I can make layered designs. I have a question though. I got to the very last step, I added the glycerin which made the soap seas but I think that’s just because it was cold it seem to calm down. But there’s a skin on top of solidified soap whenever I mix it. Any idea what I might’ve done wrong?
So I spoke too soon lol after I let the glycerin cook in the pot with the bass for a while everything melted perfectly into a beautiful creamy base. Can’t wait till this is cleared up can’t wait to use it. Thank you so so much🫶
Awesome! Does the bar get pretty firm after it’s out of the mold? (After you melted and poured it)
Purple/black/pink & grey
Hello love this is an awesome recipe thank you.what lye did you use you did not say? Thank You
Some of My favorite scents are: Patchouli, Lemongrass Lavender, Sandalwood (different ones), Rose Violet, Ginger, to name a, few.
Just found you….loved The Groove comment!!! One of my fav movies!! Is this base one you could use for a sugar scrub??
Can you put up other videos of the other ways you make the melt and pour? Thanks
Well another great video, I am here for the video as always but here we go favorite scent, oh god anything citrusy and clean and green,lemongrass, spearmint and eucalyptus, but also anything coconut, color- teal ( used to be lavender) book well I am Cuban so no one will know 😝
So I am super into Neruda, and I read a poem he wrote to Castro many moons ago. It sent me down the rabbit hole of Cuban literature, and I read some amazing authors as a result!
Soap & Clay oMG that is amazing, I love Pablo Neruda, I Sabel Allende, Onelio Jorge Cardoso just to mention some of them
Melt and pour is not easy. I might venture into that art at some point, but having tried it a few times I will leave it to the MP masters for now. Well.... I'll do easier MP stuff. Mostly cause I think it's way cool to be able to make my own bases. There's other reasons. I love clear soap too. But I will mostly stick to all the other soaps cause MP is a little intimidating for me to do a lot of stuff with.
I’m just about to do the thing, and was wondering does it have to cure like CP before it can be used, or can it be used straight away once set? Loooove following you on your journey of all the soapy things ♥️
I came looking for the answer to this question. Because I'd like to do some melt and pour
1st I'd like to say thank you so much for what you're doing with your channel. I've learned so much from you but something did not sink in lol. My melt & pour base is too sticky. I've looked on the internets (😜) and I'm having trouble finding the reason, how to fix & prevent it. Any suggestions? I'm a beginner soap maker... thanks I advance for your help!!
Also if you ever go virtual with your classes...I'm in!
How do we pick a favourite scent? I like anything that smells clean and fresh. I also love the smell of coffee.
I KNOW! I have 300 favorite scents. Which is probably why I make soap. 😂
I made this soap and it came out beautifully 🎉 but then two days later it was crying.. was sopping wet.. 😢 but at least I can say I have it a try... 😂
Hey! Glycerin dew can be a pain! Try decreasing the amount of glycerin next time or adding more clays or powders to the base.
She didn’t actually say what percentage Olive & castor - simply said “Total 5 oz”…I suspect that was causative agent ; ))
Brigid thinks castor oil and olive oil are the causes of glycerin dew. Brigid should not attempt soap until she learns some basic principles.
So do I make make regular soap recipe, then add 14 or so % glycerine? Not sure how to measure this all out with my own preferred ingredients and the glycerine
Hi thank you so much for this can we make a clear melt and pour if so how ?
Great tutorial. Is it the glycerine that makes it easy to melt again? I would realy like to make my own base but dont jave all the products you have used available in my country.
Hi! The glycerin aides in the remeltability, yes. :)
What do you use for clear melt and pour when you sub out the cIay I couldn’t understand what you said. in the video Thanks
I've been looking into this. I need a MP base without coconut and I can't find any so it looks like I might have to make my own or find someone to make it for me.
You can do it!
I made your recipe and really liked it. How can I make a bigger batch?
You made it? Have you made it again? I would think you would double the recipe?
Can you use a melt and pout base to make a Shampoo Bar as well as a Conditioner Bar?
Is it wrong that I prefer making hot process over cold process? I watched your fluid HP wine video and ever since then I've been doing a 70/30 split of the liquids and I'm now able to make a batch of soap in 20 or so minutes. So thanks again for the advice of splitting the liquid.
Nothing wrong with that at all! We like what we like!
Can be added what ever fragrance or essential oil you want before pouring? Or color? I like to do all my product from scratch that’s why I ask 😊. I am cold process soap maker
