Honey Butter Tallow Soapmaking | MO River Soap

Hi everyone! It's Holly and I'm back with a Tallow soapmaking video. This soap is made with tallow (of course), cocoa butter, shea butter, buttermilk, honey, and more! Stay tuned to my social media and/or sign up for emails at moriversoap.com to stay up to date on the release! We are planning for Wednesday, January 24!
This is not a tutorial, but I do have a Tallow soap recipe on my channel, intended for soapmakers already familiar with the process. You can view that video here: • Part One - Making Soap...

This video is not a tutorial. The recipe used is proprietary to my business, but you can find many amazing recipes shared by Bramble Berry, Lovin' Soap, and the Nerdy Farmwife. Please check out my older tallow soap videos and sea salt videos for free recipes. I am going to work on a standard cold process soap tutorial for you in the future. Thanks so much!

[@nancyblake7425]

I just wanted to say, I really enjoy your videos. You have such a cute personality 😊 thank you for sharing your soapy journey!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoy the videos!

[@adamapple5263]

I love your whipped soap sugar scrubs- please make a video about that- I love all your videos so I’m fine with anything you upload. GLAD to have you back

[@moriversoap]

Thank you so much! I will have a couple of different scrub scents coming up at the release this next Wednesday, January 24! I don't have any full length videos but did film a little bit of the piping with my last batches. I haven't looked at the footage yet though.

[@pearsrtasty3326]

I loved your wax melts, I really hope you put those back in your shop. Thank you for a great video!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! They will be back with our release next week!

[@FranklyNaturalBeauty]

Gorgeous soap! Love the color and the honeycomb design on top is perfect! ❤

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@user-mj1iz6um1j]

Beautiful soap I hope you're still going to do your rainbow soaps, love your videos

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Oh I am gearing up for the rainbows!!

[@jankates1274]

Hi Holly you have inspired me today. My soapjo has been absent for a couple of weeks now but this looks so good I just have to get back in my studio today. After watching your tallow video from a year ago I noticed how precise you are in cutting your mould liner. Would you be able to a quick tutorial on that. To me it’s the 2nd worst part of soaping. Washing the soap making dishes takes top spot lol.

[@CandlesLiteMyWay1]

So glad to see you back! I missed watching your soap making and packing! My fav soap maker!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! YAY!

[@lball9975]

This soaps sounds really nice! I wish I wasn’t allergic to fragrance oils!

[@PrettyAliceNight]

My favorite is the triple butter unscented ones!

[@moriversoap]

That's a bummer! I have a lot of unscented soaps in the plans! Banana Buttermilk is on the curing rack for next month.

[@lifewithamberb]

That top is dreamy!! 😍😍

It sure is! Thank you!

Honey is my favorite soap scent so I'm excited for this one.

Good job Holly! I want some 🌹

Beautiful soap Holly, I love the simple elegance 🍯

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@jessicabonnette3937]

So glad you're back ❤ Would love to see Figgy Cream Room & Linen Aroma Spray and Figgy Cream wax melts .

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I do plan to have Figgy Cream wax melts available at the release next week. I am still building supplies and hopefully Room & Linen Sprays can return next month.

[@reginacorbett7444]

I love tallow soap. I bought some from the last release and will buy some more. I'm looking forward to trying this soap.

[@moriversoap]

I'm so glad! Thank you! I made tallow soap for the first time in 2021 or 2022. My sons said "This is the best soap you've ever made!" 😍

[@Trish0978]

I know we're a ways off season-wise for this one, but your lemon rose water sea salt soap was my all time favorite, hands down lol I also haven't found anyone who makes bath bombs or wax melts that I like nearly as much as yours, though I'd only gotten into wax melts partway into last year (I've experimented with a lot of wax melts since and haven't liked any of them as much, though)

[@moriversoap]

Oh that's fun! I had totally forgotten about Lemon Rose Water. I haven't really thought about the salt soaps but I do need to buy some salt in bulk and get back to it! I'm pleased you enjoy the bath bombs and melts too! I will have both with my next release coming up on Wednesday, January 24!

[@firdowskruger9896]

Great video, Holly. I love that honey clip in the beginning. I can drink it like water. I love honey so much.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Honey is oh so good!

[@dianehedricks7860]

Beautiful!!!! I WANT SMELLAVISION ❣️

[@moriversoap]

That would be awesome! Thank you!

[@NorseButterfly]

I know it's more of a hassle, but I do love the coffee/sea salt foot scrub soap you made. My feet actually stayed smooth when I had that soap. Maybe a spring thing?

[@moriversoap]

Oh! We do need some Coffee Scrubby Soap! That would be fun to make!

[@sarahcook9935]

Hey! Holly, that just looks heavenly 😍 . Looks like u could spread it on hot buttered toast! Thanks as ever.❤

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Sarah!

[@cliviascreations]

What a nice surprise! Love the intro Holly, and everything else of course.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!! We love our tallow don't we?!

[@cliviascreations]

@@moriversoap just the best! I also have a face cream. You should me some Holly. It absorbs immediately into the skin and it’s so moisturizing.

[@sarahgrable7479]

I look forward to the return of coffee soaps and whipped scrubs!!

[@moriversoap]

Yay! Thank you! I will have both with this release on Wednesday, January 24!

[@skreg1840]

I just recently bought the orange essential oil soap. It smells SO incredible. If you made more I would definitely buy it. 🍊☺️

[@moriversoap]

Thank you so much! I was just thinking it may have to come back soon!

[@kellymclean3345]

I stamp mine with a little bee stamp

[@803trends]

There she is! Can you do a video on the tallow?

[@moriversoap]

Thanks! I just buy already rendered tallow for soapmaking. So I just measure and melt it like my other hard oils.

[@jillcochran9794]

I would love this, except without the tallow

[@moriversoap]

I will definitely have to make a version in my usual recipe too!

[@jillcochran9794]

@@moriversoapYes ma’am please do!!

[@Chatty-Kathy01]

Looks yummy! May I ask what percentage of tallow you recommend? So happy you’re back! Good luck with your home building journey 🍀

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I do prefer a significant tallow base so I like 50-60% I always love cocoa butter and castor so add those in with some olive to help thin it out a bit.

[@Chatty-Kathy01]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@mlangelfire268]

Need Cranberry limeade!! Lol but you knew that already. Oh something champagne would be awesome ...raspberry peach bellini?

[@moriversoap]

Yes! Cranberry Limeade is going to be awesome! I so miss Sonic slushies! Though I guess it's good I moved away because I can't have sugar anymore. 😉

[@mlangelfire268]

@moriversoap that's why I want the soap so bad lol 3 months ago I had to start doing insulin shots everyday so I can't have the sugar either ❤️

[@moriversoap]

@@mlangelfire268 That's a bummer! That's the time I had to cut it out too. I'm not on insulin yet but I am sure it's coming.

[@luckysinclair7327]

Where did you buy your cutter and mold.if they are made by you can you do a tutorial or do you make and sell, let me know please the soap looks very silky

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! My husband makes the molds. I don't think he will agree to a tutorial. He does a great job, but not really in a position to film a tutorial. The cutters I purchased. You can find links in the video description for both of them.

How are you dealing with the recent weather? My aunt lives in Whitehall MT and she said it got down to somewhere around -45°.

[@moriversoap]

We did okay. We got down to minus 50 up here. It wasn't pleasant but we were warm. Thank you for asking!

How are you melting your oils in prep for soap making?just curious since they are such a volume

[@moriversoap]

I melt them in the pot on the stove.

[@corneliaklaraghadami8455]

Sorry do you have a Rezept for me?❤Thank you for the nice Video.😊

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I don't think I have a recipe on this video but I do have some tallow videos on my channel from 2022.

@@moriversoap so bad i don't like to buy any soap,I'm from Germany.I like a recipe to Do it by my self. Videos can't help if you don't have the amount.

@@corneliaklaraghadami8455 Please note that this video states that it's not a tutorial. The majority of my soapmaking videos are for people that enjoy them and for my customers to see how I make the soap they purchase. However, I was trying to direct you to a video where a recipe for tallow soap is available. From there, you can take your soapmaking knowledge to figure how much additives to use.

@@moriversoap I don't need it.

[@waynewatson8036]

What is tallow please?

[@moriversoap]

Tallow is rendered beef fat. So where lard is from pigs, the tallow is from cows.
