I tried using powdered sugar to my water and I didn't like the results as powdered sugar has cornstarch in it and it affected the results of my soap. Maybe a confectioner's sugar would work? It is a lot more fine than regular sugar...something for me to think about. Thanks for the suggestion & thanks for watching! :)

Your soap is awesome but your lighting is terrible
@theskincandy 14 күн бұрын
Yes you are right the lighting is not great but as I state in my description I am a professional soap maker and NOT a professional videographer. I run a very busy working soap shop and some days I make soap and don't have the time to set up all of my lights. Making the videos better is something I am working on.....slowly but its really not on my high priority list. Thanks for watching.

@theskincandy Ай бұрын
I actually bought this from another soaper several years ago. The maker was a shop based out of Russia and they seem to be no longer on Etsy. I do however, have 2 other cutters from this shop: www.etsy.com/listing/707305008/metal-soap-cutter-1-18-bars?click_key=9e802e2a102dfe8c15435f93a723b8634c881554%3A707305008&click_sum=0fae92c9&ref=shop_home_recs_6&crt=1&sts=1 This listing is for the 1 1/8" which is the size I use in this video. Happy soaping!! Thanks for watching! XO 😀

I looked at making 'from scratch' and it would have cost me £17 per kg....compared to £8 - £10 'ready made'.....It's a no brainer...but it ready made. I will only make from scratch when I want to offer it as a luxurious product with a higher price tag and I haven't got the demand for it 'yet'....x

I totally agree with you - Its about my time and how much I can spend on making products from scratch. When I sat down and really looked at how long it takes to make a batch from scratch it was hours to minutes as far as time. I can have a batch whipped up in under 15 minutes when I use the ready made. Thanks so much for your comment & thanks for watching! 😀

@@theskincandy Aw, totally understandable. I know someone who makes it from scratch and she says it takes her a full day to make the amount that she needs - it just 'ties up' your time too much I think. The ready made base is so much more convenient. Aw, no problem at all, thanks x

Maybe use the fragrance oil without the beewax, the batter was already thickening before the fragrance oil.
@theskincandy 2 ай бұрын
I used beeswax in the soap as it was as requirement from my client. I probably should have said that in the video. LOL So several things were going on with this soap that I did not realize until about a year after filming this....1-I was using beeswax & 2- I was using Olive Oil Pomace which brings your batter to trace much much quicker. Since changing back to Olive Oil I have not had the issues with the acceleration. If I remember correctly it did still rice very slightly but nothing I could not work with. I have not used this fragrance oil in several years now. Maybe I need to give it a go again! Thanks so much for your comment and thanks for watching!
