- Reviewing my very well loved custom made HDPE soap molds!
For those of you who do not understand what custom made means, it means that I had those molds made especially to fit my needs and have a precise size bar soap. Something that is unique to me!
So if you are looking for this exact mold & equipment, on "For Cratfs Sake's" website, you will not find it. I would also appreciate if you do not call this company and ask them: "I want what she has!" because that is the whole point of custom made equipment.
However, you can surely do your math and ask "For Crafts Sake" to make your very own custom size! You dream it, they make it!
I love to share with you all but in return, I expect that you respect my brand. Use what I offer as inspiration and use it to lauch your own creativity.
Thank you for understanding!

Holy Moly! Those are some big batches! I can't wait to see how you will unmold those big loaves.
Love your videos! You do a great job of explaining why you're doing what you're doing, which is such a big help to new soap makers like me. :)
Love that you added oatmeal with the mint and kelp.Must be great for sensitive skin! Love your videos Ariane.
I love watching! Someday one day I would love to make my own soaps! 😊
Love, love, love your videos Ariane. You are a wonderful soap maker, and your videos are very helpful for my mom and I who are just starting out.
I found the answer to my question about your equipment. It is so awesome that you had it custom made you just opened my eyes to a new possibility 😁
Hi Ariane,
I love your 20lb molds. I am going to have to invest in a couple of those myself. I love your videos, and I appreciate that you do them for those of us who are new to soaping.
Bye for now,
Lori
Can't wait the next video! I love all of your videos!
Thanks for sharing! I just think those huge molds are so cool!
Ariane,
I thoroughly enjoy your videos and have gleaned so much from them.
I would be interested in seeing some more of your Natural Color line.
Thanks
I LOVE watching you make soap and bath accessories--especially because you seem to have a lot of passion for it! I'm a big fan! I'm in the US but hopefully I can visit the islands one day, it seems beautiful and so natural!
It's aweSome that you make everything handmade and use quality ingredients.
Hi Ariane you are by far the most interesting soaper/teacher I have had the pleasure of watching. I am using my sons computer today to view more of your videos just so that you know that it is not a man sending you a comment. I am getting all that I need to start soaping you inspire me continue the good work.
What a delightful soap video. Ariane thank you. I look forward to see part two.
Oh I have watched a few of your videos, and found them the most interesting thing I have ever watched!!!
I have been tempted to get a large capacity mold for the last year as I cannot keep up with demand and soap when I have time ... but am nervous. You make it look so easy! My biggest fear is for when soap gremlins strike. Thank you for being an inspiration!
Those dollies sound(and look) brilliant!
I love your videos and soaps, and your voice is so beautiful. I look forward to seeing more videos!
Can't wait to see this cut. I would love too see a video on what you think makes a soapmaker Successful and also on how to create great products like bodyboarders and two solutions and what oils are good to use.
Thanks for your inspiration! I am so excited to get to started today.
Woot! I found the video with info on that awesome mold. Thanks!
Juste un petit mot depuis Paris (France) pour te dire que je regarde tes vidéos depuis un moment et elles sont superbes! J'apprends toujours quelque chose de nouveau! Bravo pour tout ce joli travail! Je débute dans les cosmétiques fais maison et ton atelier, ta boutique et toutes tes matières premières artisanaux me font rêver! j'espère en arriver là un jour! Encore bravo et bonne continuation!
Love your videos, Ariane! You're such a pleasant person! Thanks for sharing. : )
Those are some big molds. Can't wait to see you unmold them and cut them. I love your videos and how you explain everything. Please do more and more reviews. It is so informative when you share product reviews. Thanks again.
I like the "Crafts Sake" mold looks so professional and great
Such an amazing mold.. It looks like it will help that back lifting... I can not wait for the cut and see how easy they unmold :)
Hi Ariane,
Beautiful soap in a beautiful set up! PLEASE do be careful of your back dear. I herniated 3 disks in my lower back - L3 L4 L5 - and life will never ever be the same. Once the hormones deplete, post menopause, that is when the risk escalates. Good luck and thank you so much for sharing!
Soapcerely,
Patricia
I love your videos! They are very helpful!!! :) Thank you!
yes please show a video of how you unmold and cut your soap. I am thinking of getting molds from them so it would be super helpful!
That stuff you are drying we call generically" kelp" or "sea weed"
If you can get a view of it growing, I may be able to tell you the genus & possibly species. An underwater pic of the hold fast (looks like plant roots), the body & a top view would be great.. It looks like what is commonly referred to as "giant sea kelp". Although there are many types of kelp. That far north it could be bull or moose kelp? Hard to say. Even a pic from the surface might clear it up.
Great videos! Have a great day!
Hi from PEI, neighbor! :D I was looking for a large batch recipe since everything I could find was for like 3 cups of milk, and my friend can supply me with 40 liters a day.
This will be really helpful! I designed my own mold negative on the computer, then printed it with a 3D printer for a positive. Cast it in silicone and did a test with the silicone mold last night and it turned out well. Now I just need to make about 100 more silicone molds :D
you simply need to figure what quantity of soap your mold holds and then input your recipe in a soap calculator to make it the size you need. You should never measure by the "cup" but by weight. And before selling, make sure that you comply with Health Canada's regulations and that all your products are registered with them to legally sell. :-) Good luck! I would love to have so much goats milk available!
It's cow's milk from a lovely pet cow :) The mold I designed is in the shape of a cow too :D
cute
Tony, the freezer paper and mylar lining make it MUCH easier to unmlod! I would not risque making soap without them!
+Ariane Arsenault Your soap making tutorials are great! I am looking forward to incorporating some of your ideas into my studio here in BC. Also...I LOVE that you spelled "risk" as "risque"! I'm learning French and the hardest part for me is the spelling :0) You are adorable
great info. i don't make soap ,but hair products. I find soap making difficult for me hahahaha..... i admire your work. Keep up the good work.
I love your soaps ! I will be in Canada soon hopefully I have time to visit your shop! :))
Waiting for the cutting video of this. Hi Ariane! I'm from the Philippines! :-)
Loved this!
I am trying to start making soaps and bath products, and I am so addicted to your videos. They are so informative and it looks like you are having a great time! =D
You've inspired me. Thank you
J'aime bien les savon de Ariane : ) J'adore !!
This soap sounds amazing! That's so funny that you call that kind of seaweed lasagna because I call it that too. My son like to shove the stick part of it in the back of his swim shorts and pretend it's a tail, ha!
Hi Ariane, I live one province over....enjoy your videos, usually watch 2 or 3 at a time, and I always learn something new and useful thank you, I started soaping in December, and even ghough Im almost certain that I messed up somehow, all of my batches have turned out nicely..... I didn't know that you have back injury too. I was sorry to hear that...it is a test for sure.but hou seem to be coping well!?! I .have been managing back pain for decades.,.you've heard it all. so no comments from me...you're always thinking, and it looks like you're pretty careful. I have found sometimes you just have to change you're planning but not your purpose. ..so I was going to batch on Friday last week, that got changed to Monday, and I was happy I waited, as I felt like my back could snap after that...so if I hadn't listened to my husband and my inner voice...? I love your passion for what you do, and it is dome in that whimsical clashes with no nonsense lets get down to work kind of way! wholesome and playful foo! lol, its late! g'night. et merci!
sea lettuce. dont worrie about ur perfect english. u sound great dont correct yourself .via via who cares ur accent is so great and u speak english perfectly.
Two of my fav soapers are total scrapey-scrapey maniacs! Weee!
I've LEARNED so much from you
Such a pleasure to watch..x
where to buy the soap mold?
thanks for showing us your process..i would suggest a hand drill will long shafted propeller for the mixing to trace (paint mixer)...and you need a pot stand/pourer to spare your back
I wish you would write a soap cookbook!
Jetlagjen Very good idea!!!
Thank You for sharing this video
whenever i watch your video, i love the fragrance oils you put in your soaps. how you blend fragrance oils to formulate new scent. have you tried using basil fragrance oil? i tried using them in my soap.. it seize like seconds.. just a few manual whisk it seize. can adding more water slow down the seize or less sodium hydroxide slow it down or working at room temp slow it down? or is there any other way so it wont seize aside from changing the Fragrance oil? Thank you. Please do take good care with your back problem.. looking forward to more soaping vdeos!!!
Love the soap :)
A lot of these comments are 4 yrs. old. I just recently found your channel and I’m curious how you’re going now. I LOVE everything about your videos. You’re so helpful and knowledgeable. How did you get started in the soap business?
For a batch that large I would recommend a drill and paint mixer instead of the immersion blender.
Wow didn't realize this video was 10y old but was expecting to see a giant immersion blender
Lol! I still don’t use the gigantic immersion blenders! I am presently using the All-Clad 600 W which is the perfect “in between” size!
Coucou Ariane, that's a massive batch of soap and to think I struggled today making my first loaf soap it was only 1kg not sure what that is in lbs, just shows practise makes perfect. Thanks for sharing this video, à bientôt.
super! je vous aime et vos vidéos! poursuivre les faire :D
Hi Arane im glad i found your channel, Its very informative, I just to ask what is the proper ratio of lye water to the oil mixture? Thanks 🙏 you very much
Love your videos
were did u get your mylar lining
I love watching your viv you bad honey I'm trying to get like you keep up the good work stay blessed I know you hubby is proud do your thang some you love this so me my children or grown I also got a small garden thanks much.
That sounds like an amazing blend! Your work is top notch Ariane. The kelp on the beach after a storm, we just call kelp or sea weed. :-)
good work
how can h make two layer ? thanks.
sounds like bull kelp are they attached to long tubes with bulbs at the base?
--Rick
Q. about soap maker 3 does it say how much goats milk to add.
I'm curious, how much oil do you normally go through in a day?
WOW Ariane, this was a super & very helpful vid!!!! Also sorry to hear about your back. I also have lower back problems, & you're a big inspiration! Can you also tell me where I can buy EO at a reasonable price? Lord they're sooooo expensive,,,,Thanks :-)
I always add my milks to the oils before adding my lye as well. I've never had a problem with milk getting burned.
Awesome..
Where can i buy your soaps
How do you mix your soap with such big batches? My little immersion blender just about taps out during a double batch (and my doubles are only about 12lbs of soap). Do you use an industrial immersion blender? Thanks!
Ariane, you are so incredibly generous to share your knowledge with us willing neophytes!! I learned so much just from this one video! I am, however, very concerned about your back. I herniated 5 disks (both cervical and lumbar) and have had 4 back surgeries as a result. My children were only 4 and 2 years old-I feel like I ruined their childhood. They are now 16 and 13, and never remember a time when I was not in pain. PLEASE be so careful lifting those heavy pots!! It is NOT worth a severe injury!! I hurt my back by lifting a heavy box of books wrong and twisting-it happened in an instant!! One thing over the years that I found was very, very helpful are those industrial back braces the construction workers wear. They wrap around your waist, cross cross over the back and have shoulder straps. I order them off Amazon-my favorite brand is Mueller. They are by far the best. If you have to lift a heavy pot, just strap on one of those puppies first. You will be amazed at the difference!!!
Hi arian I love how you make unique soaps, I would like to learn as well how to make soap. please help me.
hello ariane , I am watching your you tube everyday as well as others however i am so inspired and trying to soaping. i am a beginner and i have many things in questions. would you able to help me to understand how to add super fat? i used calculator for 5% super fat and it shows certain weight for it as well lye weight changed. is that mean that i can add that amount of oil in addition to my oil batch after emulsified or i subtract that from first batch prep and pour later after emulsified? also what about if i happened to use any carrier oil for colors? is that consider as super fat as well?
I would have liked to see you unmold the soaps. Also I have a question. Do you have a recipe book for your soaps? Or a site we can go to , to print them.
G'day Ariane...All the way from Australia... I'm addicted to your inspirational videos... Now all I want to do is quit my job and make soap! :-)
Your awesome!!!!question how much were the molds if you don't mind me asking?
What are the advantages of using cashew milk?
Do you discount your lye water so you can add the milk right into the oils?
great video. what is a basic recipe for soap, lye weight, water, weight, oil weight?
Ariane is as charming as she is knowlegible. Have learned a lot from these videos.
so many things ive learned from this video
Love from India Mumbai, I respect and love u, u r great women.All the best dear👍❤️
Your videos are so satisfaying cauz you never waist anything :}
I ended up buying a custom 52 pound mold from For Crafts Sake thanks to your video! I am new to making this big of a batch. It looks like you use a standard immersion blender, do you ever have issues where the soap hardens too quickly before you have time to pour? Also, why do you strain the lye water? Thanks!
Amazing :)
Seaweed?
Apologies for the typos! tried to fix but I cannot get back into do it...last one was too, not foo....
Hi. Nice big pot you make your soap in. What material is it made of?
jadore tes videos. top!
Question.....why do you need to add the plastic and freezer paper? Why not pour directly into the super slick HDPE?
Hi Ariana, I recently had a question from a new soap maker and I gave them my answer for my general rule of thumb but I was wondering if I could also ask you because I think they had watched someone making a huge batch like this and kinda assumed using large amounts of milks were normal. Question, how much (%) do you keep your additives at. Like the cashew milk. The person asking was using half of their water amount in milks. It didn't turn out good as you can imagine. I usually stay at 5% or below for my additives. I think the confusion came when they see something like 600 grams of cashew milk in one batch not realizing 40 pounds of soap is way more than the beginner soap maker would ever make. Thank you for taking the time to help me be a better soap maker and I am off to see part 2😀
Because you added the cashew milk, did you discount water from the lye mixture?
The lye water is the water
Wow, you look just like Ally Sheedy. Gorgeous.
THANKS

Kelp is called kelp in german too - I dont know if there is a word in english. But everyone from germany understands you perfectly well.
I like your english - it is so good to understand.
Kelp is English too. I really think it's a universal word.
elipa3 Also called seaweed : )
I love your ideas and the new things that you come up with, You're 1 of 4 people that I listen to in a mire and respect what you do I am slowly working on my business but I also have a job so I try and do quite a bit and um I given to family or by some to friends or neighbors not much but and I live in Oregon so it's great getting the information that you put out and I'm so happy and I appreciate all the information that you do give us to other people that you share with thank you very much
Sincerely rosemary Bradley
xq no con subtitulos?🤔
You need a bigger immersion blender, or a drill attached to a longer mixer.
I forgot to ask you, lately I have been rinsing off my soaps with hot water. Do you do that too? Every batch ? or is your soap shinny without rinsing?
Hello Ariane, First let me say that i love all of your videos. You inspire me. I know that you mentioned that you use the soapmakers 3 program. I just bought it also. How can i figure out the specific gravity of every ingredient? I don't understand how to complete this part of the program. Is it ok to just type in a (1) for the items i don't know? Please help. Thanks Sonia
For specific gravity, i just enter somewhere 0,9 to 0,95 for EO, FO and vegetable oils and 1 for everything liquid (water) or dry. Some suppliers will provide you with the specific gravity of their products! Or do a google search... Good luck!
