I'm so grateful that I get to occasionally work with brands I actually like to create sponsored videos. Their direct support helps keep this channel afloat in the ever unstable world of KZbin ad revenue. These videos will always be disclosed, of course, and I appreciate everyone's kind support for these partnerships. Royalty Soaps also participates in commission or discount affiliations, like Amazon or RewardStyle, as these opportunities become available, like Amazon and RewardStyle and while the money we make with these links isn't much, every little bit counts and once again, we really appreciate your support! These products will always be marked and disclosed with a "✦".

Katie, I'm a college professor, and I have to say, you're excellent at teaching. This is a wonderful series. Well done.

[@roachianna5686]

can you help? how much lye should be in the water?

[@amadelysdelacruz9087]

Roachianna Roachianna she prepare 4.60 oz of sodium Hydroxide with 8.50oz of water (half liquid, half ice). And that’s what you’re going to use. Watch the lye prep video. 💕

[@roachianna5686]

@@amadelysdelacruz9087 THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU DON"T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HELPED ME AHHHH

[@rachy_michelle]

@@amadelysdelacruz9087 I was confused with the lye video, because the pdf for both the beginner and royal upgrade don't mention those amounts of lye/water... anyone able to help?

[@amadelysdelacruz9087]

Rachael Keagy hi there! Sorry for responding now! I just noticed the notification. The amount of lye/sodium hydroxide would be 4.60 (or 4.6oz) and the amount of water is 8.50 (or 8.5oz) which Katie suggest half (4.25 oz) in liquid form and the other half (4.25 oz) in ice. It sure helps not creating steam. Keep in mind the ice will melt really fast because the temperature gets up so be careful handling the container once you finished the solution because it will get super hot. (Mine got to 150F) Oh! And remember to pour lye into water.

[@Xelimations]

I was drawn in by your personality, and am now actually learning a lot, considering actually getting into soap making

[@ankitv2582]

Yeah me too she is just awesome

[@WookieWoman]

Do it! It's so rewarding! ❤

[@LouiseEberbsach]

Jep! Same here! A friend sent me a link for one of her Soaps because she found it awesome. I Got drawn in completely and have now watched pretty much every video! I love her personality if a human Can be your spirit animal she is mine!😂❤️and now i kinda want to make soap !

[@Lady_Rose420]

Same for me. I'm so happy about this teaching series 🙃

I just love how encouraging Katie is to everyone. Like, I don't make soap but I feel like I really could with these videos.

[@chantellefieldhouse9124]

SAME

[@dannifoss6136]

I feel that way too! Now I’m sitting here really debating if I should start!

[@prex327]

Yes you can!!! Be careful because Katie is correct NaOH, sodium hydroxide, lye, or wherever name you choose to call it will burn your skin and seriously damage your eyes. With proper precautions you'll be safe.

[@kovidarv]

hii!! im so excited to get ready for soaping. my tiny house has everything ready for it!! good luck to everyone else doing it with her!!

You’re working in grams! Be still my metric-loving heart!

[@MrsMster]

Finally, a unit of measurement people outside the US can understand!

[@skyydancer67]

@@MrsMster a lot of us in the US do use metric measurements. I also like to work in grams as it is easier for figure out how much additives I want to add at certain percentages. I also use it when I bake or cook with certain ingredients like flour.

[@troebeliewoep]

Oh thank god!! I never figured out how ounces work

[@cicibrown5979]

I know I told my husband that I wasn't going to get into soap making. I have sooooo many DIY hobbies as it is, but man it would be nice to do just "once" to make bars for Christmas Presents for my family, & friends/coworkers! I'm actually seriously thinking about it, but I'd have to do it when he wasn't looking LOL

[@skyydancer67]

If you do take the plunge, get your supplies in August and make a batch or two in September. If you decide you want to make Christmas soap, make that batch no later than mid October so your soap has ample time to cure.

[@aracelipolendosandoval6767]

@@skyydancer67 thank you for the tip as I'm considering it as well.

[@WendelynT]

I was inspired by Katie Carson to make soap, & I've made 3 batches so far. My friends are asking me to make more for them to give as Christmas gifts.

[@mandimoo87]

Hahaha just once this stuff is addictive be warned! Also the more you make the more you can offset the cost of molds etc

[@sonicamy4518]

Husbands always try to rein in our hobbies. It's their job, lol! Mine now helps cut, clean up and package my soap, and never complains. We sit and talk shop, our horses, 6 dogs and children. All things that were projects of mine! Except the kids and now grandkids, that was a duel decision!

[@eureeeekaa]

Whoa I would like a pep talk for everything now. That was pretty amazing.

[@michellejudkins6726]

Katie, I have been watching you for two years. I watched you for an entire year and did my research. So February of 2019 I attempted my first soap. I was hooked!! And I have been making soap ever since. Thank you so much for everything you continue to teach me wether you realized it or not. You are amazing!!

[@sl4983]

You started with cold process soap? Or melt and pour?

[@shermeenkorrani852]

Hey, I just started watching your video. You are an amazing teacher. I just loved it. Have a quick question, as you used titanium dioxide, is it okay to skip it or is it one of the main ingredients?

[@Bbbarbie]

I started crying at the end, I know you were talking about making soap but I think I just needed to hear that in general 🥺❤️

[@LayaRay]

I’ve been loving these videos and the course! I’m starting my own business making laundry detergents and skincare products and your videos help out a ton! I’d love to eventually make cold process soaps as well!

[@LayaRay]

[@victoriarobertson1918]

OMG, I so needed this lesson because soap calculations have been driving me nuts. I've only been doing "melt and pour" and wanted to take it further but all this calculation stuff was a bit much. Thanks to you, I have much more understanding. I love watching your videos. You're always so happy:) "I am capable, I am confident, and I am going to have fun!!!"

Can i get an audio clip of that pep talk please 😭

[@Yume03]

Your personality is amazing to watch, I’m addicted to your channel even if I don’t plan on making any soap 😅. Your car analogy is great but as someone from Europe who’s over 30 and doesn’t drive, it doesn’t work as well, haha. Me and my hubby never bought a car because we feel like we don’t really need it. And both of us hate driving, he has a license but I don’t 😅.

I think im getting my brain all wonky after watching your Lye safety video and the ratios were different there. Could you please help me out with this so I dont hurt anyone with my first batch of soaps

[@alexiaalexander1883]

I'm so grateful for your videos... You've really inspired me to do soap making... I already have most of my equipment

[@Tansen_]

Absolutely so thrilled you made this series! After spending so long studying and learning from various people. I finally made soap yesterday!! Originally wanted to make HP soap as I love the rough texture from it. Due to slow cooker reasons I can't make it sadly. So I took on CP soap. It was such an experience working with lye and using the immersion blender. I made bamboo charcoal lavender soap!

[@sonicamy4518]

Katie, these first few videos are excellent for beginners! I'm remembering my first batch of soap and it was awesome because, I'd read Anne Marie's first book, I'd watched you and Holly at Mo. River Soaps and I was prepared. Although I still make soap on a regular basis, I do skin care for the body and face. Mostly the face. However, I am still excited when I start mixing colors and pouring fragrance! Good luck to your new students!

[@younganimals2948]

I am probably going to make soap in like five months but I’m still watching this video and lots of knowledge before starting I haven’t bought any materials or anything because I want all of the videos to be out just so I can just like go through them all and learn

[@AndyJS78]

[@bethywright127]

i've watched all the videos and i literally cant stop watching you make soap !! where can i get colourants and micas in the uk? the shipping for mad micas is $13 US so about £10 just for shipping :(

[@suzanneriding3237]

I recommend amazon if you're just starting out and haven't found a favorite distributor. This set seems appropriate for this series: www.amazon.co.uk/VITORY-Pigment-Powder-Colors-Metallic/dp/B07MGPRJPL/ref=sr_1_13?crid=1JWEJ3WPMVRY3&dchild=1&keywords=mica+powder+set&qid=1592682343&refinements=p_76%3A419158031%2Cp_72%3A419153031&rnid=419152031&rps=1&sprefix=mica+%2Caps%2C282&sr=8-13

[@imaniwilliams816]

There are UK suppliers for colorants and micas. A couple of examples that I've heard of are micamoma and umakeitup.

[@suzanneriding3237]

If you'd like a good distributor in your area check these out: soapmakers-store.com/ www.gracefruit.com/ justasoap.co.uk/

There is another woman on youtube who makes soap in the UK her channel is FuturePrimitive Soap Company I've heard her talk about colorant companies as well as fragrances companies in the uk before! As I live in the US i didnt pay attention so i dont remember their names hahaha I hope that helps though!

[@bethywright127]

thank you everyone. watching katie i was like...i can do this then it's too expensive for the micas i was like noooo :( but thank you everyone

[@oderasworld158]

Hello thank you for this video. Quick question.... How do I know the amount of oil and lye that'll fill my mold? Thank you

[@kimlorton1566]

The purple mold she uses holds 40oz of oils perfectly. Otherwise, the supplier you buy from should say how much it holds!

[@dtulip1]

YAY thank god for Katie and Royalty soap videos

[@SagPrincessDuh]

how do you detemine the percentage of oils? ive watched numeroua videos that tell you about soap calculator but none of them explain how to measure oils

[@kayla-rae4770]

The percentage is based on your personal preference. Different oils have different properties and different recommended usage rates. I recommend you read the soap classes articles on natures garden candle website as well as the oils in soap making article on the soap queen website. So you get the general idea. After you have came up with a recipe of oils you want to use with their corresponding percentages that equal 100% then you enter it on soap cal to get the amount of each ingredient. You measure with a scale btw

[@saltyasl7987]

Thank you for this series. After we move I'd like to give this a try. God bless you and your family.

[@fyredance]

A question- Is the oil blend something we can keep mixed up ahead of time (and if so, how far in advance can we keep it), or does it have to be done just prior?

[@melissablatz6979]

Sure is! www.soapguild.org/how-to/ingredients/masterbatching.php

[@suzanneriding3237]

You can mix it ahead of time. It's called master batching. You'll just have to warm it up a bit and blend it before you portion it out for the recipe since the oils will separate in the batch. Oils that are stored for a long time (months or years) can oxidize which will result in brown specs in the soap. They're harmless but unsightly. So if you aren't going to use the oil in the next couple of weeks I wouldn't mix ahead. If I master batch I use it within 45 days and keep it sealed in a food safe container away from light, indoors, at room temperature. Oxidation occurs faster if exposed to light or if the temperature fluctuates too much. Also, butters like cocoa butter or mango butter can rot if you master batch so I wouldn't include them at all.

[@inflorescence159]

Katie: Think back to the time you first got in a car. Me, the first time in a car: *panicking and just leaving the car*

[@mollyheffner3267]

LITERALLY what I was thinking. Not a good analogy for me Katie!

[@suzanneriding3237]

The first time I made soap it was for an organic chemistry class project... even knowing proper lab safety I did everything outside in a full lab coat with goggles, gloves, and I had an open gallon of vinegar in easy reach just in case. I also added the lye to the water so slowly that it took me thirty minutes for what I think was only eight or nine grams of sodium hydroxide. The only thing I've changed is that now I mix the oil and lye inside... I still wear full lab gear and mix the lye solution outside with an open gallon of vinegar in easy reach. Though, I do mix the sodium hydroxide and water a bit quicker now but still not all in one go. Feel free to panic and walk away... you won't hurt anything by walking away. You may just end up with a bunch of soap in a plastic pitcher that you'll have to figure out how to use or get rid of.

I had a question about soap making, you stated in another video that putting fresh flowers in a soap is not right, but can I add crushed petals of a dried rose in a soap? Is doing that right or wrong and does it add anything to the soap?

[@allieandholden101]

Can you use a whisk instead of the stick blender?

[@ashtonrobertsss]

Allison Autrey Yes but it may take a bit longer, and if your just starting out I would probably use a stick blender so then it’s easier to follow along with Katie. Hope this was helpful! ❤️

[@Benina_HomeAndBody]

Hello from Belgium, Katie👋😁. Love your vibe! I am a small candle maker but love love to learn how to make soap🤪😆. Is it possible, maybe in the future, to also say how many grams you use as to ounces? Yep the metric system huh 🤔😁. Have fun making your beautiful soap and I'll have fun watching more of the videos!!! 👍❤

[@MrCheffyd]

Katie, I was wondering about the amount of fragrance oil per pound of oils we should be useing?

[@skyydancer67]

If you are using the fragrance oils Katie suggested, you can use them at a rate of up to 5%. You would want 3% to have a lighter scent that comes through.

[@terealmanza1343]

Me gustaron mucho tus videos, súper entendibles y dinámicos.

Hello! I'm sorry if you've already gotten this question before but do you have any suggestions for replacing coconut oil for soap making? My mom and I are allergic to coconut and coconut oil.

If I could ever get past the startup cost, I would try making soap, because of you.

It's only about 120 if you buy the cheapest stuff.

I enjoy your videos but do have a question: In your lye video, you use 8.52 oz of water and 4.59 oz of lye. But your basic beginner recipe has 10.2 oz of water and 5.10 of lye. Which amounts should I use for my beginner recipe?

So excited! Just ordered everything this morning!!

I pray that one day I can order my soap supplies as well
