🟥 DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. The content I create is meant for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can permanently damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear protective gear during the entire soapmaking process, even while cleaning up. I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining.

Hi! This recipe took a bit longer than usual to reach a medium trace despite the steep water discount. Once it finally did, the soap moved fast to a thick trace. Do you like using water discounts or do you prefer to use more water? I typically don’t go higher than a 40% lye concentration just because I always want my soap to gel, and it’s difficult to make that happen at my lower soaping temps. Thanks so much for watching! -Holly :)

[@joanbelmont5450]

I like 30% water or less 😎

I love black nail polish too. I think I will use it again.

[@CarolinaGirlCreationZ]

Love the simplicity of this soap! I looked at your affiliate link and your list but didn't see it so I thought I'd ask where you got your column mold? I hope I didn't miss it in the list as I know it can be frustrating to answer the same questions all the time. Love your channel sooooo much! ♥

[@Grandma_Jizzzzzzzard]

[@djahidnasri1142]

Very well very good

[@winusuren4034]

Lovely as always..❤️❤️ Please make a cold process shampoo bar if possible...

[@Sassycatsoapery]

Hi from Florida! This soap looks beautiful! I love using clays. I like to soap at 44% lye conc, as I like to use water to mix my clays and to rehydrate milk powders. If you don’t mind, where did you get your soap stamp?

[@jyotinair3736]

all your soaps look so pretty, quick question, I live in California, been making soaps for a while, still learning a lot, i have never covered my soaps or put them in the oven, does it make a big difference? Most of my soaps come out good and some even great, I always test them as well.

[@vaslim1711]

Beautiful as usual! Why do you choose to soap at a low temperature? What does that do for your end product?

[@user-pt1ld2er4h]

Hello Holly, I am making my first soap this weekend. BTW I love your videos and your soap is beautiful. I have a question, I have a silicone mold with a wood frame. Can I put mine in the oven? I think your soap comes out perfect, no ash. Thanks!

[@jannpiga21]

Beautiful soap!! Where did you get your soap stamp?!!

[@anastasiabarbadonis498]

Hi there thanks so much for the video just wandering to calculate the essential oil blend in grams for 3 percent fragrance in your recipe so you just say what is 80 percent of 3 to work out pink grapefruit amount etc ? Or do you do 80 percent of 45 grams

[@sl4983]

Do you have a beginner video on making soap?

[@steelersgirl071961]

Could you do a soap using annato seeds? I have some infused in light olive oil, but I would really like to see you make one ?

[@rebeccashepard4793]

Holly, where did you get your soap cutter from? I have been looking for one that can cut larger/higher bars of soap. Thanks! Oh - and our video is beautiful (-:

[@rrutaba]

Hi. I'm your big fan. Here is a humble request if u kindly make a video on making clear transparent soap base without alcohol plz. Thank U 🙂❣️

[@patsydettinburn9582]

Just watched this video. Could I use my essential oils to hydrate the clay?

[@dianesilvestriclifford5691]

Holly, where did you get your soap stamp?

[@Mrs_Canary]

How do u mitigate the fumes?

[@meitrujillo1]

Where do you get the soap stamp from

[@elizabethhappiestwhengarde2938]

Hi Holly! I really enjoy your videos! I notice that you blend your lye solution and oils at lower temperatures than other soap recipes. Why is that?

[@mulkelzaman4089]

What is the weight of the clay powder added to the weight of the oils?

[@mardhiahabdulshomad3722]

Hi there, may I know how long do u wait to cut the soap after pour the soap into mold?

[@arwayousef2519]

So beautiful, May I pls ask about your stamp, I need to customise one. Thanks a lot

[@cleothapeter909]

Etsy have customize stamp

[@Monkeyman3A.]

Can I use just grape fruit juice ?

[@91Stellaakasteky91]

can i use baking soda and not lye?

[@christelledarazi3606]

Where does it show the amount of lye and distilled water to put please?

[@mominhawaii]

Maybe I missed it, but what % of total weight did you use for essential oils?

[@cathycatey9714]

Beautiful as ever Holly! Would you please post the sweet grapefruit EO blend? I would love to try it!

[@tatianaschoenfield9819]

It’s in the description box..EO blend.

[@amiramahmoud9741]

السلام عليكم Holly ممكن كتابه المكونات بالجرام لاتمكن من صنع الصابون بطريقه صحيحه شكرا جزيلا لك متابعتك من مصر

[@enochbissinah2310]

Hello please can you help me get my own soap stamp with my own design

[@justine-mariesenchim7652]

Thank you but as a beginner I will like the ingredients to be written like the calculation of the mold

[@deliafasciano4367]

I look with attention your videos becuse i think you are very careful in your work so i can learn a lot of advices. I will ask to you about soda ash: in this video you use a high concentration of lye solution. I usually use 30% but often on my soaps soda ash is formed. In the last soaponifications ( 100% olive oil) i used 32% and 33%. I hope this strategy makes better. I thank you, You are for me a really teacher! Tank you much!
