[@moriversoap]

Thank you Nathan!

[@vernahrris5601]

The soap looks like tulips!

[@moriversoap]

How fun is that?! Thank you!

[@MountainViewSoap]

It performs super well in my opinion! It doesn’t discolor, I used it for my rainbow fruity loops frosted soap and I use it in my kid soaps!

[@MountainViewSoap]

I didn’t notice any discoloration with my soap! I wonder why you are!

[@moriversoap]

That's interesting for sure! It actually discolored a bit more but it's most noticeable on the sides. The soap has cured for 6 weeks so I don't think it will get any worse.

[@levanasoaps6142]

Love how these came out! Also, I just bought a single wire cutter like yours, only mine is acrylic. Best thing ever.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! The single cutters are so nice!

[@melindaduncan3073]

I just love that scent!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Melinda! It sure is a good one.

[@vaniaguillen9718]

Clover is great. He's the local soaper for me but I still love you best! ❤️

Looks amazing great work as always.....

Thank you!

[@amberknight8555]

It's like a beautiful rainbow 🌈 lava lamp, just wish for gold glitter on the top, gold at the end of the rainbow

[@moriversoap]

Oh yeah that would have been great. Thank you Amber!

[@jillgross3968]

Hi Holly, playing catch up, lol! I think the swirls turned out awesome! Yes it does look similar to Sweetly Clean, but I'm impressed it didn't discolor to bad. Most fruity loops does. So I'll remember to get my fruity loops from Nature's Garden. I buy a lot of my fragrances from them anyway. I love there shipping. Usually here in 2-3days which is awesome! I really enjoyed you testing this. If you ever need an idea for videos, testing videos are always great. Brambleberry and Nature's Garden are one of the few companies that give acurate reviews. Other sites tend to have a huge swing in what is advised. Jill

[@Nancy-gl3zo]

First of all, I LOVE your videos and your wonderful presentation. I have a question - when you strain your lye water, what exactly is the left over stuff in the strainer and does throwing it away change the strength of the lye?

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Nancy! The sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to create sodium carbonate. Typically soaps do contain some amount of sodium carbonate. I don't find that it makes any difference to the batch. I've weighed it before and it was extremely minimal.

[@Nancy-gl3zo]

@@moriversoap Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. No wonder I'm a fan!

[@Random_847]

Love how that turned out!! I’ve seen other soapers (when designing the tops) start with the zig zag but then run length ways as well which also turns out beautiful but I always find myself thinking STOP STOP after that single zig zag across the top because it is so gorgeous on its own which you’ve perfectly demonstrated here!! Love watching your videos Holly you’re awesome! I have always frozen my goat milk and incorporated into the lye(replacing all of the water) I REALLY want to do it the way you’ve done, I feel it would be more beneficial or even just a creamier feel on the skin, do you use fresh or powdered? I have always used fresh because it’s right at the grocery store plus I like drinking it as well. Thanks for your time Holly, I know you must be crazy busy!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I love your profile name! 😀 I have a horrible way of over-swirling so I tried to keep it simple this time. LOL I love using milk as an additive and not as a 'full milk' situation. It does just add that creamier feeling without the trouble of the frozen goat milk situation. I'm too spontaneous for frozen milk. I prefer to use the fresh milk. Since this video, I was not able to get goat milk locally (we have to go to the health food store) and so I did use powdered for that. I don't really notice a big difference between the fresh and the powdered in the finished product. I just prefer the lusciousness of fresh, liquid milk.

[@Random_847]

@@moriversoap I can see myself over swirling too!! lol I am blessed to have fresh goat milk at walmart. I haven’t tried it directly with the oils fresh yet though. I also need to pick up some powdered. Oh! I also love using aloe juice in place of water, if you have time and haven’t done that try it and see if you like it. I can’t wait to buy your soap! I’m trying to expand my fragrance choices as well. Thank you for your time Holly 🙂 Blessings to you and your family ☮️💟 🧼

[@heidivlf5646]

I love these!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@erikaespinoza382]

Wow!! Quedo hermoso! Gracias por los subtitulos en español!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@GosterMonster526]

Very pretty! The inside almost looks like a tulip or a closed rose. I wonder how it would look with shades of pink interspersed with white

[@moriversoap]

That would look gorgeous as long as the colors didn't make it look like meat. Sometimes pink and white soaps can look like bacon. Haha!

[@catmamma79]

Holly do you have a video on how you put the butcher paper together so perfectly in the mold. I'd like to use more space versus the silicone

[@moriversoap]

One of the vlogs from last December has some mold lining: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX2ynGp7g9uJf9E

[@catmamma79]

I just got this fragrance a month ago and wondering too. I saw Katie used this and use a little titanium d. It still looked really good. I did one with a different brand same fragrance and it definitely discolored, got really hot, and made glycerin rivers in soap. I hoping to try the fruity rings soon :)

[@moriversoap]

I hope it works out well for you. I think if I use some TD next time that it will be great.

[@evehsv5556]

Thanks Holly very pretty soaps. Is the fragrance strong or mild? 💕

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I would call it a milder fragrance.

[@amandag5072]

Did it discolour any further? I've had FOs that discolour very lightly at first but by the end of a week are darkly discoloured. So I never trust the initial discolouration :)

[@moriversoap]

The picture shown at the end was actually taken right before I uploaded the video yesterday. It has been curing for 6 weeks. You can see that the discoloration is still really slight. I did notice that the sides were leaning less ivory and more beige. I suspect most of that can be managed by using titanium dioxide instead of white mica next time.

[@lavietia]

Some of them look like a pretty rose 🌹

[@moriversoap]

That's so awesome!

[@minipanda99]

The tops look so close to hearts!

[@moriversoap]

How fun! Thank you Erika!

[@valeriegriffith3415]

Pretty pretty, this should be called fruity delight

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Valerie!

[@TheLoveweaver]

Do you always do such a big test batch?

[@moriversoap]

I usually do. They provide extra samples or just family soaps if the batch doesn't really turn out.

[@QueenGomez1111]

Why did you save the lye bits?

[@moriversoap]

I just strained them out. The lye solution was made several days prior and so the lye lint was 'crunchy'. I always fear that they won't break up and will create a lye pocket. So I strain it if it isn't fresh.

[@shhhlisten4850]

I really love the design! This may seem crazy but I’d love to come help you in your shop, cleaning dishes, cleaning up the shop, anything you’d let me tackle. Free of charge that is. I’d love to see your creative process. I have no ambitions to become a professional soap maker. Might try my hand at little small batches for me & my family, maybe lol. Anyway, if you ever want a helper to do some deep cleaning, stocking, etc. It would be nice to be able to chat with someone and hear your journey and get to know you. Lots of love & god bless xo Summer💖

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Summer! That's such a nice offer! If it weren't COVID and if I weren't such a germaphone...LOL We have found that we don't have as much room up there as it seems. But I tell you what, I could use someone that is more interested in the whole process. Maybe someday!

[@felizshaw192]

I'm curious has anyone heard from the soap gal missing her

[@cliviascreations]

I emailed her due to someone contacting me for wholesale orders and mentioned her as an example of people they had business with and she replied to me almost immediately, I need to follow up with her for a visit

[@moriversoap]

Who is this soap gal? I hope everything is okay!

[@cliviascreations]

@@moriversoap she is an amazing soap maker from her AZ , she is located in Chandler and used to be on KZbin, her soap business is at another level, she almost have her own soap factory, very supposed nice. I was not scam thanks to her and her husband She is everything about helping others
