Cold process soap making tutorial, soap piping, cold process soap dough embeds

In this cold process soap making video I'm making a larger batch of soap again in my slab mould. I show you in detail how to pipe cold process soap leaves to surround the pretty blossom flowers that are made with the new extruder discs available in the shop now. www.idreaminsoap.co.uk/shop-c...
This is the link to the slab cutter I use in the video (mine, if still available will be listed for sale in the 'soap tools' section on my website - see link above)

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.

This morning I knew absolutely nothing about soap but got curious while doing my dishes. I found your channel and now hours later, here I am taking notes and figuring out what supplies I need to pick up tomorrow 🙃

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ha, ha, excellent news, just be careful it's a VERY addictive hobby

[@Mar10la]

Hope you also found some lye safety videos. Be careful, good luck and have fun!

[@IDreamInSoap]

@@Mar10la Yes, a very good point :-)

[@LadyGecko]

Highly recommend watching Lisa’s information videos. Also Soapqueen’s videos on lye safety

[@rawsunnata829]

Me too

[@teresaskerratt4842]

Seriously Lisa you never cease to amaze me…. Your ability to use soap dough makes me look like a cow playing a mouth organ … 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🐝🐝🐝🧼🧼❣️thanks

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much LJ😊

[@SDsearcher]

I just love watching you make soap. I can’t even draw a stick figure. I feel like I don’t have a creative bone in my body, but watching you create these lovely little masterpieces, inspires me. All the math involved scares me though. I’d probably end up creating a volcano in my kitchen instead of soap! But honestly, I think I would like to try making a basic natural soap just for me. Just to see if I can do it. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. I love it! 💜

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much. Yes if you do have a go, then just start with a simple soap, the lye calculators like soapcalc will do all the tricky & important calculations for you. Make sure you check out lye safety first

[@dcuevas24]

Hi Michelle thank you so much , the bigger batches do make it quite a different approach and sometimes you start to appreciate the sides you have on a normal loaf mould

[@michellespencer8838]

@@IDreamInSoap im sure i watchophilias soap she makes them says they are quite different and mor diffacult but she loves

[@justaddlivingwater]

I know I've said this before, but and I know it's harder there in the UK, but you really coming into your own with co!it's and really not being as held back from you being able to be your artist self!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi, yes we do have lots of restriction, we can have flexibility for designs, it's just that is costs more money, any time you use a different colour or even change one thing by even a minute amount you have to pay to have the whole soap cosmetically assessed, which costs quite a lot of money and can also take a long time (often several months), so it can end up being like another ingredient cost (but a very expensive one as the assessment costs more than the oils, butter, fragrance etc)

[@kasie680]

Oh Lisa! Your patience and attention to detail amazes me!!! Your so Talented, I was wondering, can you put citrus rind in soap?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much Kasie, you need to be careful with any botanical as with any lumps they can easily mould. You could grind it up very well, if dehydrated and used as an exfoliant

[@cryingbroken8824]

@@IDreamInSoap thank you, excellent question and even better answer, I'd , never have thought of citrus rind *molding!* 🤒🤪👏👏🙃

[@jenniferwilliams964]

try spritzing the soap with rubbing alcohol it will stop the oxidizing of the soap top and prevent it and it just evaporates

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Jennifer. I find rubbing alcohol does nothing for me to stop any issues with soda ash etc, I get very little of it, so a water discount and covering the soap does the trick, so no need for it.

[@lindahalpern5722]

Gorgeous soap as always - I also have Magnolia & Orange Blossom from Nature's Garden and it says the IFRA is 10.5% - so I am wondering why yours says 2%? I am not saying I would use that much, I generally stick to 5% assuming that is a safe amount.

[@IDreamInSoap]

That is weird, so your comment made me go and have a look and the IFRA does now say 10.5% I wonder if they've reformulated it as mine (I double checked) definitely says 2%. To be honest if they haven't reformulated it, using the one I have at any more than 2% would be so overpowering. I would be tempted to buy a small bottle to try to see if it's different, but as it's got Lillial in it I'll just use what I have up, but I am intrigued

[@justaddlivingwater]

I can't wait to be able to afford cutters

[@IDreamInSoap]

They do make a difference

[@justaddlivingwater]

Is there any thing you can do to make your fragrance last a little longer? In the bottle

Sorry, not sure what you mean about them lasting longer in the bottle. I keep all of mine in dark bottles, usually dark glass or aluminium, no plastic and in a cool dark cupboard
