How to Make Lavender Soap 💜 Cold Process Soap Making

[@anderiksoapscandles9687]

So sad to hear that loss of materials but very very happy to see you back on track...we missed you! 🤗

[@dr.w.octaviamalveauxdent1315]

Thanks for coming back! Miss you. Pleading-please do not stay away too long!

[@Stamada2]

How does he not laugh at your funny jokes😻

[@tuiscreations3389]

Ouch! I think I would have thrown my hands up in the air and just said, "Ok, that's me for the day. See you all tomorrow." LOL. I'm glad you got some awesome new shelves out of it, but sorry that you had to go through that. Congrats on an awesome show in Vegas.

[@njmoonfrost6145]

Hi! I am very new to soap making and your videos. I’m only two minutes in and you already got me hooked. Also funny enough my brother loves the scent of lavender so I’ll be making some for him for Christmas. Very happy I found your video ❤️

[@TheSoapGal]

So wonderful! Excited for you!

[@CarolGwithAc]

So happy to see you back! I gasped when I saw the photos of your shelf disaster!

[@marynapier2007]

Joanne, glad to see u back. So sorry about the shelves falling and losing so much product. I think I would have been on the floor with everything else bawling my eyes out! I've missed you

[@canfieldhandcraftedsoaps]

I'm so sorry about the shelf that fell... 💔💔 I'm glad you're back on track! Thank you for the new video!

[@kathcurtin4474]

Oh No !!!!!!! but the new shelves look great.. I just love you Joanna....you are a joy to watch make soap..

[@HeritageSoapCo]

OMG Joanna!! You have my ultimate DREAM soap studio! I love it so much and I love your bubbly fun personality! I haven't got to watch your channel in a good while. After my daughter's wreck and my surgery I am just now getting back to making videos myself and also catching up on my soap making favs that I haven't seen in awhile! I'm sorry about those shelves. I know that was heart breaking! :)

[@TheSoapGal]

Oh, my dear you are in my thoughts offered how is your daughter doing? Looking forward to watching more of your videos

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Joanna, I am so sorry to hear about your shelf fiasco, that must have been heartbreaking. That is one amazing block of soap, well done.

[@pattimessenger6214]

I swear Joanna, the next time I’m n Arizona, I want to stock up on your gorgeous soaps! And meet you and your hubby! It seems that most soapmakers today are working awfully hard to come up with new and innovative ideas for soaps. And then it is one and done. And you never see that lovely soap again. You can’t buy it anywhere at any price. You have a number of fantastic soaps that you continue to make, and that is wonderful! That means that you can find it again once you run out! Please keep up the great work!

[@midnightriderart]

I love your personality I love to watch your work.

[@FarmerC.J.]

Your studio looks great! So sorry you lost supplies ! Glad to see your happy energy!

[@gardengrlz]

Omigosh...that broke my heart to see all of those supplies spilled. Hope your insurance helped you out!

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

[@OnlyInUrMindCreativeSoaps]

So happy you were able to make a video with all you had going on. I really appreciate all your helpful videos. You are amazing to be so generous to share your experience and knowledge with everyone. Love the Lavender travel soap. Thanks for sharing.

[@Bellessentials]

Lavender always sells great! And you reminded me... we are out!😆 I’m sorry about your shelves! It sounds like you have been very busy! Glad to see you back, we’ve missed watching your videos! 💗

[@lenandsusan]

Your video showed up on my feed as a recommended video. I must say, I have never seen a small business soaper make that large of a batch of soap! Personally, I was fascinated. For my business that is like a lifetime supply of lavender (probably). I enjoyed your personality, your energy and your techniques. I am sorry you lost all that product. I would have cried for days. I have subscribed and will be following, so please do another video soon!

[@big4metalbabe]

Please make more videos. Your great. Thank you.

[@Handmadebusinesstips]

Looking at those crash pictures of your shelves is making ME want to cry. BUT, the new shelves look great! I'm doing lavender soap today, so this is perfect timing:)

[@mountainlifesoapsllcgoatmi5535]

It's so good to see you again. I'm so sorry about your shelf falling and losing so much valuable supplies. Your new shelves look great. I want soapmaker 3 so bad. It's on my list of stuff to buy as soon as I can afford it.

[@lorip6846]

Your videos are a crack up. so sorry about your shelves and losses :-(

[@margaritaespinoza1745]

Yes yes yes I do prefer shelves

[@HeatherBraceyHandPArtistry]

I'm so sorry about your shelves and ingredient losses I would have cried too. Lavender sells fast for me too, unfortunately it gives me migraines so i have to do all lavender at one time and the take three days to recoup. Thank you for sharing so much with us soapers.

[@2sandywithlove]

I had to pause to make this comment, OMG! this is the biggest batch of soap I've seen made on You Tube, and I've been watching videos for at least 8 years. How did I miss this video, and this wonderful personality making Lavender soap? which by the way, is my favorite soap to make as well. Paused again.... can you tell me where you purchased the visor from? great idea!

[@evaedmonds3498]

H there! we missed you! I am so happy you weren't smashed in that avalanche! It must have been horrific to experience. How dreadful & expensive. The new shelves look great though.

[@sabatinosalvatico2105]

I have goats, I know what you mean. Lavender is my favorite soap !!!!

[@karenurbanski5004]

Just found you. I shop AZ supply too. Mush smaller amounts than you. Love your videos

[@heathervanderbrink6737]

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

[@insparationsbydavina5090]

[@desertfarmcompany7408]

Holy crap! That really sucks with the shelves :( thanks for the videos ❤

[@barbarap6322]

Oh no, I’m so sorry that happened to you. It is great to see you back.

[@alishasimms2846]

Wow, that was real mess. So glad you're able to laugh about it now and are back to make soap.

[@JenSpice]

Oh that's so sad the shelf broke! Missed you Joanna. Love the lavender soapy goodness! ❤️ Jen

[@JenSpice]

My top seller is Lavender too.

[@JenSpice]

Lavender lemongrass sounds fantastic!

[@TheSoapGal]

It is Darren's favorite - he even shaves with it!

[@kristybear100]

Thank you for another great video Joanna! Will you please make a video about all of the ways we can use the scraps? Thanks again!

[@lynnscholes1617]

Thanks

[@warriorgoddess6449]

I would have cried

[@TheSoapGal]

Oh, I did! But that is how you learn. And that is why I shared that it happened to me so you can learn and start with better shelf’s

[@leidydiperez5223]

OMG 😲 I’m so sorry, but you show us that life continues

[@elisegarrett5937]

I'm gonna go make lavender soap now! That's awful about your shelving. I'd cry!

[@meadowyck]

I'm so sorry for all the product loss, hope you were hurt in the accident!

[@docamer99]

Hi love your channel do you do it all at room temperature? Also what is 50/50 lye solution thanks

[@nadhirahwilliams1329]

Hey JoAnna, I appreciate your help with informing us on how to upscale. Do they have soapmaker 3 for Mac yet? The lavender looks so dreamy. Sorry to hear about your mishap...I'm sure better things will come your way. You are such an awesome soaper. Keep inspiring.

[@annreinbeau]

I am not Joanna, but I know a bit about SM3 (I founded the Facebook sorry group). He is considering trying to port to Mac, it's the biggest request he gets, but he is a one man site and he's most familiar with Windows. In the meantime many buy a cheap windows laptop just for SM3. It's well worth the investment.

[@miriamrivasdaffodilsoapfavors]

Thank you for making videos and showing us we can all have one avalanche moments. For essential oils you said cid.com or eoils.com

[@TheSoapGal]

In my video info I have Sid’s contact info. He is my EO Guru and I love him I would not be where I am today with out his wisdom and help to keep me going. Sids EO prices makes it possible for me to use EO in soaps. In business you are privileged to meet some amazing people and he is one of those people!

Can you please show and tell more about your candle making. I am interested in trying to make candles for personal use and for family gifts? Please.

[@sharondonelow5364]

So sorry about your shelves, what a mess and what a loss...all that product! Love your videos! I was wondering if you could spray your logs with alcohol after you cut them to prevent ash, or were you going to plane them anyway and it works out because you can cut the ash off too?

[@ginak1117]

Hi Joanna my first time to your channel and have to say I have never seen anyone make such a huge batch of soap I was blown away. I loved it though, and I have a couple questions? One is if you poor all your water in with your oils what do you use to mix with your lye? Another question is how do you keep your lavender from turning brown and looking gross inside your soap? Everytime I have done that it turns brown and looks really ugly. Whats your secret? TFS and God Bless You And Your Family.

[@TheSoapGal]

Thank you for watching, I use ice (water) to make my Lye a 50/50 Solution and that is the extra liquid I need. My lavender does oxidize but the Matte lavender pigment help it not look so bad. I hope you have a very blessed day, and Happy Soaping!!!

[@sindyanderson7035]

Oh JO JO that is horrible when that happens~ ! We've all had it happen. I've missed you~! Glad your back and those shelves are Rocking gal~!

[@annreinbeau]

Ugh, quite a disaster with the shelves! Love lavender soap!

[@vernettejackson8583]

I'm sorry to hear this happened.

[@Tarot_readings_by_shefali]

Your videos are very helpful to me. Thanks to you. Do u clean your blender too for making another batch. And what about the temperature of oils.

[@sandycencirulo]

at what percentage do you superfat your soaps? love your videos. thank you for sharing

[@TheSoapGal]

My lye discount is 6% and water between 10 and 15% depending on want Soap I am making.

[@rosebest6992]

Can u please tell me which companies lip balm will fit the lip balm tray from soap equipment, I would appreciate it

[@chellemotsinger1200]

How in the world do you make that much soap at a time that's crazy

[@monikaykataria3838]

Very nicely making soaps. I have doubt, why u add extra water to oils mam, why can't make soaps with 50/50 lye solution.. do we need to add water mam. I m new in soap making, thats why asking. Thank u in advance😊

[@TheSoapGal]

With the 50/50 Lye Solution I typically use a water discount. You can see a base recipe here: makesy.com/blogs/news/how-to-make-cold-process-soap

[@monikaykataria3838]

Thank you so much for ur reply mam. I saw ur base receipe mam, ur using 50/50lye solution, that is clearly understood but other than that by which ratio u follow without discount, i cant understand that. In short, i m in humid climate in South India, i dnt know which ratio is correct, whether it's 1:1.5 or 1:2 lye:water.. simply some take 1:2.5 , so want to know which is ideal.. kindly pls share.. Thank you 😊

[@jaydenlee5477]

Is there a webpage where your travel bars can be purchased

[@silvanamoise1275]

I need a tilting pot where can I buy one

Yep, Lavender buds in soap really do look like mouse poop.

Why are you not making videos, I just found you and your gone. Sad I enjoyed you.

I am planning to make more videos, want would you like to see?

[@connieoday322]

@@TheSoapGal any thing with soap. Your real, down to earth. Tell it like it is. Not like prim and not have spotless site, all fake looking. Tell it like it is. I'm 70 years and following what my grandmother did, making soap.

[@Host_ino]

Just a tip, you should know which parts of the video to cut. I don't think I needed to see you pouring the oils for that long

[@bubbles183]

You are a darling :-)

[@lynnscholes1617]

Do you have a website for purchasing soap?

[@TheSoapGal]

That is on my to do list this year, Darren ( aka soap honey) has his retail website www.gratitudecandle.com . At this time you can purchase bulk (5 bars ) soap at Arizona Soap Supply for $15. In goats milk oat mill honey, charcoal peppermint tea tree, cucumber melon, and kia at this time. They also sell my double butter lip balm base for $9.95 ( fills 153 .15 oz tubes) and Hemp Silk lotion base $35.95 for 112oz ) as time allows I will be offering more soaps and bases at wholesale prices.

[@nadhirahwilliams1329]

Hey JoAnna, I appreciate your help with informing us on how to upscale. Do they have soapmaker 3 for Mac yet? The lavender looks so dreamy. Sorry to hear about your mishap...I'm sure better things will come your way. You are such an awesome soaper. Keep inspiring.

[@TheSoapGal]

Thank you, no I don't think they have soapmaker for Mac yet. But I got a very inexpensive used laptop and it is only used for soapmaker. I'm a apple girl too.
