I wonder if you could use air clay to make the impression then, use that as your negative(that's what they call a plaster mold) I know! Find someone who makes molds for clay pots and see if they can make the negative for you or make the whole thing for you.

They r elegant. I have to stamp mine as soon as they r cut or I won’t be able to cut them. I do a 50-50 lye solution and I put a good amount of sodium lactate. I usually have to cut them after gel phase is done and it’s cooled down. My daughter used a rubber mallet and she has to hit it pretty hard. I agree with u. I don’t bevel because a couple minutes into use the edges r no longer an issue at all and I also do not like confetti soap. Beautiful soaps! I seal my boxes with my wax seal wax. I use the wax seal gun that looks like a glue gun. I put mostly everything in boxes then I close it and instead of the sticker I add a little sealing wax and it’s glued shut. I worked on my body butter recipe for over 2 years. My son has bad eczema And his skin in the winter would crack and bleed. He doesn’t like anything greasy. So nothing I naught him worked. I did Burt’s Bees, Vaseline , L’Oréal, Oil of Olay and I have tried everything and nothing was a true body butter. I didn’t know that at the time, so I did a lot of research and I learned so much. My goal was just to make my son a body butter that absorbs instantly and is absolutely not greasy while being a true body butter with 0 water. After a small fortune later and 2 years I have my body butter formula and I actually just tweeted it and it’s even better than it was. My son it’s all he’ll use. That was 12 years ago that I formulated my body butter and a bath and body company messaged me and asked if I would give them my recipe and they got nasty when I said no. It’s not ok to think ur entitled to a formula that to someone time to research and the money and ur disappointment and to feel that success. They don’t wanna do any of the work, but want the rewards. There a lot of entitled people in this world. I was shocked at the audacity for anyone to call another company owner and ask for their product formulas. Lol that was 3 years ago and I’m still floored by that.

Beautiful

Where do you get the equipment to get started

I spend hours getting my soap and fragrances ready to soap....When I'm designing in my book.

LOL I love that I am not the only one who uses the word "wonky".

The crunchy mom blog comment 😂👌

Those are amazing!!!

plz share actual recipie

I will definitely be giving these a go! 😊

What is the second ingredient ?

P.S. You could even save your Olive oil for your bar soaps because Coconut Oil cuts to the chase when it comes to cleansing 😊 So you could use, as I’ve just twigged that you mentioned (re listening as I scribe) 100% Coconut Oil. But I’d certainly recommend wearing rubber gloves when washing your dishes 😊

I hope you don’t mind me mentioning but that Extra Virgin Olive Oil is awfully yellow 😮 If it truly is EVOO It should be green. There’s so much fraudulent activity with Olive Oil - especially Extra Virgin. They ‘modify’ them with cheap seed oils like Canola…thus adulterating it, if there is even any olive in it at all. EVOO is a premium product and as such attracts an equivalent price. It might pay to research veritable brands i.e. those ‘verified’ as Pure EVOO. It’s especially important right now because there has been much widespread theft of entire olive-laden branches in the major olive producing countries like Italy - especially in the South - Greece, and Spain. The resultant desecration of the trees has not only damaged ancient trees, and protracted the production of Olives for many years to come, it has also desecrated the income of the Olive producers - often single families. 😢. Meanwhile, I’d hate to think you were being ripped off 💜💜💜. You’re going to a lot of trouble to present a premium product yourself. There’s no need to apologise for having a tub of laundry towels. You’re in a working kitchen - that’s life 😊. Shame on anyone who would cast aspersions 😉😉. Bless you.

If you put the liquid oils in the cup first the butters won't stick to the glass 😉

Multiple labels on maestro was a learning situation for me. I still have to think about it when I do it. But yes, not having to use several sheets of labels for different labels is nice. I added a gal to sell for me. I understand the buying more stuff. I had a lot already, but still had to buy tables and another tent. But it will get a return on investment. I really liked the white. It looked very clean!

This helps me so much. I am doing my first market in December and really had no idea what to do for displays or anything like that. Saved it to reference for when I get closer.

It would be great if you could describe the names of the chemicals and the percentage in writing, thanks

Recipe please

…

🫶🫶🌹✋😊😊

give viewers a link to the site where the original recipe is found at least. because google can't find what “Marie's Blog” is.

Can wait to make my first batch but supplies hard

Super interesting listening to the details of an artisan business! Your videos are awesome.😊🌟

I started my soap business with only $20.00.

Hi. awesome info! I want to start my own from home but I have nothing, no equipment, no soaps made yet, no tax id, no name.. nothing. What was the first step you took? I was thinking of making some soaps and keeping them home just to try out formulas and see what works best... Do you think that is a good start?

I watched her video and made The Rice Shampoo bars they are the best I made them.

Bonjour c'est gentil de faire une démonstration mais vous ne donnez pas la recette. C'est dommage. Bien à vous. Rosalie

This is what I started. Thing is, it gets soft and soggy ;(

Hey, I'm new to soap making (actually haven't made any yet, still doing research etc before diving in). When you showed the scent bottle with the safe percentage, how do you measure that? Thanks!

I know which formulation this is! I plan to make these same bars. So excited to see how the rice flour works with my hair.

I agree, the super textured tops does not look as nice as a more smooth, classy top.

I love seeing your face!

Each one you made is 100 grams?

Can I do 2 in 1 bar

I need this mold

Where can I find hydrolyzed wheat or rice protein

What type of color are you using? Mica type? Do the color melt in water and we will have purple bubbles 🫧??!! Mica the same used in regular soap

I have a question, what would you say your best way of getting a decent sized customer base in the first place is? Was it a advertising? Marketing? social media posting? Any certain sm platform in particular? etc etc. I'm still having trouble cracking the market after 3 + years in the business and despite making excellent soaps of all wonderful kinds. 😔

cheap decent shelving is what I need but can't find yet. looking on marketplace at the moment.

Amazing space creation Triple Goddess! 🤩I am in awe and admiration looking at your wonderful space and all you could do there. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.😍

Looks great! Nice and organized. I like the bins!

😮😮❤❤

US costco has the home depot shelving for $30 right now! I picked up a couple and love them!

I've done that with labels more times than I want to admit lol! 😂

انتي رائعة بالتوفيق

Beautiful soap!

Sadly, I have made this recipe 3 times and each time it was soooooooooooooo dry. I have not had luck with it. Any suggestions
