Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.

Hi Everyone, I hope you're looking forward to a great weekend. A slightly early pumpkin soap, can pumpkins be too early? - I hope not :-)

[@CheekyGoatSoapery]

Never too early! And these are fab!

That is so clever using the fo to colour the soap. I’ve done it with a chocolate soap that discoloured to a dark brown but that was the whole bar rather than using different strengths of fo to get the different shades, well impressed 😍

I love the very cute pumpkins and the little springy vines are wonderful too! Just like making chocolate and sugar spirals in the (my) old days! Great to see the spring technique applied in different products! Its never too early for pumpkins! Cheers mike

Faffing about (new to me but totally understandable), mucking around (British, but we "Yanks" use it too). As they say--two countries divided by a common language. Always fun listening to you and learning from you. I run away from fragrance oils that accelerate and discolor. And, as always, a beautiful soap. Thank you.

[@tamirundell8392]

Such amazing creativity! I am always amazed at the soaps you come up with. I love using fragrance in different percentages to cause the discoloration. (Genious if you ask me.) I've used pumpkin pie spice to make dirt color. It has a bit of grit to it. I thought it would give some fragrance to my soap but in the end it didn't and people were afraid the cinnamon would burn their skin. I've used it quite a bit and it's never burned me in fact it took away the itch of mosquito bites. Oh well their loss my gain. I've also used cayenne pepper to color my soap orange. I thought it would be a nice warming touch for a winter soap but it just became a colorant. I only used 1/2 to 1 ounce of either spice to my 50 ounce soap batter. I still have much to learn. Thank you for teaching us.

[@boop7313]

Oh i just love this soap Lisa, and I really appreciate you and how you discuss the technical side of things too. Like the fragrance % in a batch where your using a fragrance to deliberately discolour one one and not another. I came to the same conclusion to only put the safe usage rate in the half I wanted fragranced and not double it up. I just feel that wouldn't be good or potentially safe , even if I didn't sell them because my own skin is sadly quite sensitive to , well it's sensitive to everything really. Anyway my vanilla soap (the soap in question) seems to have turned out nice so it all went well but I'm just glad I'm not alone in considering these sorts of things. Thanks for another great video. I have to buy that pumpkin mould from you if it's available, It's wonderful!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much boop, that sound like the best approach. I think a lot of people unfortunately don't stop and think sometime. Yes the pumkin mould is in the shop. Sorry about the late reply, it's been hectic here

[@ShannonLea1218]

I LITERALLY came up for an idea for a fantastic idea, but with an accelerating fragrance oil. I need tips! I also avoid discoloring fragrance oils that I like, so this is a double win for me. THANKS!

[@IDreamInSoap]

That's excellent news, I hope you manage to use it successfully

[@mkapadia917]

Omg, it is so freaking cute!! It reminds me of crocheted pumpkins! 🎃 🤎 (Edit) the discoloration turned out so great! Because when you were pouring the batter in, I was so confused at not seeing the colorants! And this assessment will have a variety of usage too with the green and orange from the "topping" and the browns from the fragrance! I love the artistry and thought that you put into creating your soaps. Many soapmakers just use a drop swirl or in the pot swirls bc they are much more cost efficient, but your soaps always have such beautiful visions that I don't mind paying a higher price for the art of it. Plus, it makes me feel validated when I spend extra time on my work in my career field only bc I prefer a certain vision which some in my field might consider excessive. 🤣🤷‍♀️

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much, yes it's funny with discolouration and trying to build the soap when it all looks the same, It's good fun after the cat those when the design gradually appears

Oh No " The Wall " fragrance from Wholesalesupplies is Beyond naughty literally soap on a stick instant set up not just trace. That was with Lye cold , oils cool ,room cool dumped it in went to stir and it locked

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes some of them can be very fast, but I still believe that whilst you may not want to put them in a whole soap, if you test them 1st to find how they react you can avoid disasters. I have a FO that does literally do soap on a stich within second, I use tiny amounts of it when I have a fragrance that's very slow to help hurry things along a bit
