DIY Soap Jellies + Cheaper to Make or Buy? | Royalty Soaps

[@LoveRatherThenHate]

I think a "Can we make it cheaper" series would be awesome!

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Oh my gosh, I could call it "Buy or DIY". Because it rhymes. yuck yuck *dork level Katie achieved*

[@stephaniethain9717]

I LOVEEE buy or DIY, that sounds amazing do it!!!!

[@ChadAmI80]

Yes. Please make one :-) I'd love that :-)

[@ashlee3894]

yesssss

[@caydeprice2743]

Two years later and this is still a fantastic idea 😂

[@jlrouth]

The Great 2020 Rewatch - starting to get to videos I've already seen now, the change in your confidence and style has been awesome to watch!

[@kaitlynedens6407]

This is awesome!! The lady is super amusing and funny too ☺️

[@wingwalker2458]

So cute. My grandkids would love those. Yes, I would love to see how to make your labels.

[@Bengasmom]

I love the jelly base from Stephenson. I'd like to see how you make your labels!!!

[@arianemaciejewski2626]

Thank you so much! I used to make a lot of resin products and have lots of silicone molds. I’ve been looking for something else to do I’ve just kinda lost my love for it and think this would be a great transition! When I’m not super broke I’m sure I’ll have more questions but thanks so much!! Heard that company is the best

[@selinalashley-hall4192]

Thank you soooo much for this DYI. I have been making soap for about two years now. My husband who honestly has showed no interest in my product in the past came to me about the jelly soap. I now can make something that he may actually use so thank you .

[@nailgenius2012]

I loved this video however, the reason why lush products are more expensive is because their ingredients are of the highest quality and ethically sourced. I know the purpose of this video is to show you can make it cheaper, but there are reasons why lush is pricey. I do support how you showed the process of making one if you're on a budget!

[@reeetacraft]

nailgenius2012 many of us bath and body products creators make very similar products to Lush that are same or in some cases better and do not need to charge as much. I personally use all natural products as well and my prices are much less with a good profit margin.

[@kaylaa8092]

Nope most soapers make the same high quality as lush if not more. To say that they don't is a flat out insult. Do you want to know the real difference? Simply the size of the company.

[@Frando87]

being a bigger company they also need to take into account income of all their employees.....

[@katiebayliss9887]

Freida M I've heard some rumors that they mistreat their employees. I don't know if their true.

[@HisNeverland]

nailgenius2012 it's a lot cheaper for lush because they buy their ingredients in very big bulks. they don't buy it from the chemist :p lål

[@fashionablylathered3843]

I tried making these using gelatin and water... worked but was not sturdy. I didn't know they had premade jelly stuff. I think I might give this a try. Thanks for the breakdown. I love your videos. You have a fun personality.

[@chalseywilder937]

Fashionably Lathered I think you need an emulsifyer. It mixes oil and water.

[@DoItLikeaBoss]

I loved your jelly soap recipe! I tried to make it vegan and it went perfect! Good job!

[@SquirrelRun]

LOVE this! Yes on the labels Katie!

[@ghettocountry8678]

I've never even tried to make the jelly soaps but interested in it..Been making soap for about two years now and just recently been hearing of the jelly bars...

[@sparkybish]

You are enchanting. Also, your hair and lipstick are amazing in this video.

[@swathiyagrawal]

:) this was my first royalty soaps video and I just got my first purchase from royalty soaps :) it's so nice watching it again, looking back at what got me hooked

[@purplequeen1727]

I love the soap jelly I got from you Katie. I sent it to my granddaughter (who lovvvvved it!) but before I did I used it on my hands to try it. Works just like soap but was double the fun ;). Cool DIY. I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the video!

[@purplequeen1727]

and that's a pretty color!

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Woo hoo, so glad you liked them! :D

[@mariann7941]

Do you have to keep this in a refrigerator to keep its consistency? I know that is something you have to do when you use a gelatin base.

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

Yes, I would love to see you make labels, my grandkids will love this.😊 Thank you, love the cost breakdown.

[@LoveSasukeKai]

I'd love to see you tackle a shampoo or conditioner bar! Or if anyone has any recommendations for companies besides the Big One that sell those. :)

[@amberuphoff8824]

I love the idea of jelly soap so much that i'm planning on making them for my family for Christmas

[@ashleylamkin3493]

this is the first of your videos that i've seen and it was great! i already subscribed and hit that like button!

[@katiearcher4475]

i love your attitude and how you explain things, ended up subscribing before the video even ended!

[@coffeemom6838]

Love the jelly bubbles

[@fefedilks6164]

You on point in this one Katie!!! Looking great girl and slaying with those skills! Yeah girl! Lol

[@shanmareewalker7836]

Great job Katie. Hope I can get jelly crystals in Australia.

[@lipschom]

If you happen to find an Oz company that sells it could you please please post it here so I can check them out too? TIA xx

[@CarmenxSullivan]

hey, not sure if this is helpful at all but the nz company 'pure nature' sells jelly soap base for about 21 dollars. I was thinking about getting some to test out :)

[@TeylaDex]

you changed a lot since then. you're so natural now ^^

[@marianntallent8452]

LOVE this video, please do more of these, I'd love to see what all you can make cheaper!

[@juamiglio]

Haha, you scale has seen better days. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@ellatheellaphant]

Nice prank

[@samanthaelsworth4875]

I can't wait to try making these they look great.

[@rustynails8756]

Fun vid, I would certainly love to see another DIY. I still struggle with labels so yes, please, do one on labels.

[@xRainbowFroggy]

Your hair is absolutely stunning omg

[@gullaaaa95]

I really like your videos, so happy I found you! And I really like your personality! I just wanted to say that I have ME, a illness that make my everyday so hard bc of the huge lack of energy that "normal" healthy people have. But I love stuff like this, I hope that one day I can make this for my son ! Thank you so much for entertaining me! You beautiful girl 💕 Lots of love from norway!

[@sweets6259]

Please both types of videos! Love this!

[@deliakeating]

My base is on its way!! LOVE the video!

[@felishaseacrist1788]

Oh you look super cute in this one. I love that color for this jelly soap! Bet it smells great.

[@magikdust2095]

Great video. 👍 I don't know why you'd put the jelly soap in just a regular container, because that doesn't look nice at all. I think it would look super nice if you had put them in molds, so that they could be cut jelly soap shapes... I would be interested to see how that turns out. I've also seen videos where they make homemade jelly soap with gelatin and soap at home, instead of using the jelly soap base that you used. I'd be interested to see if that actually works.

[@anyajohnson7965]

OH MY GOD YOU LOOK SOOOOO GREAT HERE! WOW!!

[@kattzzmeow]

I would love to see a labelling video!!

[@tearsfalling4ever]

I see that TheChemistyStore has different bases: argan oil, olive oil, aloe vera, hemp, etc. Can all of these be used just like the clear?

[@Emily-dx5nz]

You remind me of bunny! "Hey guys it's bunny!"

[@mindyquezada3090]

1-love your hair 2-miss seeing those coveralls 3-I don’t like the original jellies. They break apart as they get used and the jellies are harder to use. I prefer a more stable jelly. How stable are yours?

[@CorenaGaroutte]

Yes please do the label video

[@evangelineboyles377]

thanks I've been wondering about this stuff. yes please on labels.

[@patsygorveatte3914]

I enjoyed the video. you certainly have a lot of energy! haha I would like more diy videos. and I would like to see how you make the labels. Thanks !!

[@DalekkittenKittycatty]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR!! ITS SOOO PRETTY

[@Sebbiewebbiewoo]

This is a great series

[@sherryhaning4258]

Yes, would like to see labels.

[@lilyluney6015]

An oldie but a goodie

[@corinastowell6893]

Sorry to be rude... It's their's, not there's. Just Sayin. Love the videos and thoughts. Hugs from H-Town (Houston, Tx)

[@samanthag1988]

Hey Katie! - what is the shelf life on this soap? Was thinking of making some of these for an upcoming birthday but don't want to jump the gun! xx

[@peaches41575]

I know this is an older vid, does she have one where she makes a soap jelly more from scratch? Like all the way to making the base? With gelatin and stuff?

[@margaretgrimm8995]

I would love to see a label video! I'll bet you can make even that look fun :)

[@Sannoon93]

This is a great video and I love the editing 💜💜

[@Dylan-tm9gy]

Did anyone else immediately look at the price when she said not to

[@opentospirit22]

Do more!!! Yes label design please❤️❤️❤️

[@bRealBlknsexi]

can u heat that on the stove or a double boiler? I'm not a fan of using microwaves:-(

[@uniqueLeo08]

double boiler maybe, but it might take longer.

[@codename9824]

Microwaves are perfectly safe as microwaves are tiny ( micro) sound waves. Heat is produced by them because they excite water molecules. Heat is a type of radiation, ionizing radiation is the dangerous kind and isn’t produced by anything that isn’t radioactive. Microwaves are perfectly 100% safe.

[@stephh488]

Good to know, we dont have room for a microwave in our kitchen

[@ursulasantiago4870]

Yes pleeeeaaaasssee on the label making tutorial 👍🏼

[@annabananavwify]

I really like this DIY series Katie, keep more comming 😋

[@M377ow]

Hey you said you can add glitter, what about additives that are better for your skin, like oatmeal?

[@kritten821]

When you said you’d put the cost down on the description bar, I immediately opened it to look then you said “but you have to promise not to open it until the end of the video” I closed it so quick 😂

[@mywrath]

You look like Busy Philipps it's incredible

[@LadySilverWolfe]

So you m know if there is a duplicate fragrance of the blue shampoo bar from that 4-letter word store? I know the individual stuff in it is mimosa, Irish moss, nori and lemon oil? But wondering if there if one that matches that’s already made? Heeelllp!!

[@LOLADUTCH]

Princess Penny-Pinching lol.. I love it!!

[@tanikathackray]

wow your skin looks great, love your videos!

[@noomwa]

This is my favorite make up look on you. Gorgeous. Oh, the soap is nice too. :)

[@susanorban3059]

Great Video and yes on the label making vid.😆❤Also the jars were a big cost in this. gotta be a cheaper place to buy these....THANKS!!

[@PinkysProductions]

[@karinlsbjerring1503]

Yes to labels :-) Love your videos..

[@HarleLeviathan]

I love your lip color in this. What is it?

[@ShortySanchezNY]

label design vid! you're awesome btw!

[@Majime12]

How long does its last on the shelf if you will try to sell them like the expiration?

[@sfgsfhsfh]

I love your videos, and they are very informative. Don't know if this product is a true comparison to Lush though. I'm sure that as a soap, it is highly effectively. You showed evidence of that in your video, and it looks like it works even better than Lush's. However, a lot of people buy from Lush because of their various policies like ethically sourced and sustainable ingredients. I would be curious to see what the price comparison would be between a Lush product and a DIY product if the person actively sought out fair trade ingredients. I wouldn't be shocked if the DIY was still cheaper as a hobbyist would't have to pay the overhead that Lush does, but I think that would be an interesting video to see.

[@ginaboyd7508]

Awesome video!!

[@thisisaname9104]

Do you have any staifying soap cutting videos ?

[@zar4454]

Do we need to keep the jellies in the refrigerator or they can be kept out at a room temperature?

[@marionmasek8502]

love these!! please make label design and were do u find what u have to label. per regulation for united states( fl )

[@kmsirmans4885]

you should do a "buy or diy" lush bath bomb

[@jasonsohkanen7001]

Excellent! Subscribing now, for your awesome diys!

[@WendyPowellClarinet]

Hi Katie - I just looked at Brambleberry's website and they sell buckets of Stephenson's Jelly Melt and Pour for 2 lbs = $5.00. So 4 lbs = $10.00 Was shipping and handling really $20.57? Wow ... As of July 30, 2016 - The Chemistry Store is out of product and doesn't expect a shipment until August 29th - yikes...

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Yep, it was right around that. Their shipping is really expensive. :/

[@aleiamurray3959]

That was great

[@zacharyungar505]

great video

[@Taleda777]

Put 50 of those containers in my cart ($21.50) went to check out, did the shipping cost, $40.08 LOL I think I'll be passing on the containers! Love your videos though, making Jelly Soap today!

[@strawberryrockyroad]

Lushes products are more expensive because they actually pay their workers well and make sure they have safe work environments. When products are cheap it’s either because they’re made poorly or they don’t pay their workers. And a lot of people are commenting independent soap makers don’t have to have high prices and you’re right! You’re not paying for workers, all the money goes directly to you. Which is great! But Lush isn’t a company like Walmart they actually do ethically source their ingredients and treat their workers well and pay them well. Not everyone can afford their products which is understandable, but don’t bash on them just because of their prices. There are plenty of other luxury companies that make their products hella expensive but they don’t pay their workers, make sure their ingredients are ethically sourced, and are not very good. Focus on those.

[@tiffany7023]

Kaylee Exactly when did she “bash” them? It's a diy she shows how to make it at home, and for less money.

[@kismetmassey1105]

p s I think there's good in the refrigerator? what is the shelf life

[@-._.-Jennifer-._.-111]

Love it

[@sinwhitip]

Wonderful video :)

[@601salsa]

What about silicon moulds?

[@kristinacoulthread6600]

What if you don't have a microwave can you just melt in a pan

[@babeshawty]

what about vanillin stabilizer

[@thisisme2681]

What is the shelf life of jelly soap?

[@Guyrandomducttape1]

It cost you 7.74 to make but what would be the markup for you to make a decent profit?

[@YukiKuranVampire]

Can I use mica for color?

[@justincruz1008]

please make a label video!!!!!!!!

[@bRealBlknsexi]

do they tell u what's in this soap jelly Base? is there a benefit to using soap jellies or is it just for fun lol? I'm a fan of lush as well :-) I haven't used soap jelly yet tho

[@uniqueLeo08]

This is from website (the chemistry store) Glycerin Aqua Sodium Laureth Sulfate Chondrus Cris Powder (Carrageenan) Phenoxyethanol Pentasodium Pentetate Tetrasodium Etidronate

[@tiffany7023]

ling ling 753 Welcome to the soapy sisterhood, we're happy to have you here!! (Brothers are also welcome)

[@pissfrog]

Lush is expensive because they source their ingredients fair trade and pay their employees a living wage. Of course a DIY is going to be cheaper, you don't have employees and corporate taxes to pay. :)
