[@nancykelly9712]

Yessss, lemongrass is one of my top soaps as well!! Have you ever made it with dried lemongrass instead of poppy seeds?? I cut them into small bits and add that. I really like the feeling on my skin. Great video and thanks for the master batching demos!! Great to see something different from all the other soapers!! 😁

Your lemongrass soap looks amazing. I started making melt and pour soaps about a year ago and would love to learn to make cold process soaps someday soon. They lye part of it scares me, but I know one day I’ll work up the nerve to try it. I will definitely be subscribing. Thanks again!😊❤️

[@robertaeaster9235]

Hey Joanna! You Rock.. Have to say across the board I would have to agree with you about the top 5 soaps. My Bulgarian Lavender tea, Activated charcoal with tea tree, patchouli Lavender and vanilla , my lemon grass pale ale beer soap are some of my most popular. Also my oat milk and honey, New Mexico blue corn with rosemary and cedar wood. I feel like I know you already but look forward to meeting you some day.

[@audryscraftingchannel3597]

I enjoyed this video!

[@lornashandmadesoaps7034]

Now I have something to make with those poppy seeds. Thanks

[@amh49002]

Hi and thank you for sharing. A quick question, why did you add water in addition to your pre master batched 50/50 lye solution?

[@TheSoapGal]

Because if I don’t it goes to trace super fast

[@supermarathihome7508]

Woww awesome

[@arsenalcathy]

You are awesome! Thank you for sharing.

[@summerbreeze1955]

What a fab chanell, thank you for sharing Joanne. I began soap making 20 years ago. I wanted to go commercial, but some people were negative and said there are laws etc. I'm in the UK. Do you know what the laws are selling soap? btw I'm vegan and my soaps are all ethical luv n light x

[@ZAJANatural]

I already used a 55 gallon drum with a heating belt. But what is that oil rig in the corner? Great job! Love your workshop!

[@aartijainric]

Such an informative video ... You are always so awesome

[@AromaDelightBeautyCareProducts]

Thanks! Amazing video and great info!

That is SOOO pumpkin! lol Glad to see you back.

First time I used lemon cupcake I freaked out too, lol. A lady told me it is called a lemon cupcake yellow heart attack.

[@mommabears993]

That's amazing- looks so much like pumpkin baby food when mixed. lol

[@jaisparks6091]

I'm always so excited when I get a video from you. Wish you could upload everyday but I do understand that time does not permit you to. I tried finding your video for patchouli/dead sea mud but didnt, did you take it down?

[@theresadowdy3556]

I believe the patchouli is the next in series.

[@jaisparks6091]

@@theresadowdy3556 thank you. Since she said she made that video already I thought it had already been uploaded.

[@jgordo03]

WhaWoo made my day.

[@MUSICLOVERGIGGLES]

Joanna, have you tried sliding a flat board to cover the soap to maybe prevent cracking. Just a suggestion. I saw another soaper do this.

[@natachajanvier1579]

❤

[@mujeres.serenas]

Thank you!

[@lucybavone2735]

Do you add anything to anchor the lemongrass fragrance? For some reason not sure why my lemongrass fades? Do you have any suggestions? You’re so cute!!!

[@queballXgames]

Very nice lady...great vid

[@kathygraf2271]

I've missed you JoAnna!!😘

[@sherrytapscott7878]

YOU ROCK GIRL! QUESTION: Is there any way you can cover or wrap the mold in some way for insulation to stop the cracking? I believe that may help it some. AWESOMENESS! YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION ♡♡♡

[@nihadkhamis4590]

Joana hi like your videos soo much my soaps lose the odour once cured how much fragerance oils lhave to add?

[@elishevatimber6540]

Hi Joanna. and Hi from Haifa, Israel! You are such an inspiration. I've dreamed of starting my soapmaking as a business but only if I can successfully invision upscaling and that's what you are providing. - so many naysayers believe I can't make a sustainable profit. Maybe not at first, but with hard work.... ! Speaking of which, you certainly lift a lot of heavy things. How do you protect your back? You have rippling muscles in your arms but I worry about your back. Also - if you haven't already, I'd love to see a video of a tour of your studio and all your brilliant gadgets needed for speeding up production, how you organize supplies, etc. Lastly, I new and maybe you already have, but would love to hear of your journey from hobbiest to this scale. Thanks for your top 5 list. Curious.... How many is too many varieties do you think. Lastly, you may not have planned to, but you make a nice balance of artist in her studio, to business woman, to lab scientist. Thanks again! ~ Elisheva

[@terrysessentials4456]

how do you fix the crack batches? thank for your time and knowledge.

[@myancientglow]

Looks amazing, How much total water is in your recipe mam, is it 1:1 or 1:1.2 or 1:1.5 mam

[@TheSoapGal]

Thanks for reaching out! It depends on your environment/weather, I am in AZ and I usually do 1 part lye 2 parts water.

[@myancientglow]

@@TheSoapGal thank you so much for ur reply mam, it really means a lot. I m from South India. Love ur way of soap making n sharing knowledge. Thank u once again.

You're amazing!! I love your energy. One question is that upon curing, the wonderful smell of the essential seem to be gone. What's your secret?
