The cocoa butter wafers make me think of white chocolate candy melts every time.

[@tiffany7023]

Glad it I'm not alone.

[@DorkieRix]

Omg me too lol 😅

[@delisak2214]

Just got my first order from you and I’m so excited!!! I love watching you make all your different creations.

[@kimlorton1566]

Thank you for showing your process from start to finish! I love your videos, and your soaps are absolutely stunning!

[@aprilLprey]

Dayum - 35% lye concentration - I can't quite make that out. Respect! I work at a chickenshit 29% - I am a slowpoke and need lots of time! Nice work - love the way you approach soap. Practical methods to crank out volume without being too labor intensive.

[@cherylhealy2828]

Gorgeous, creamy looking soap! Thanks for sharing.

[@cindyterrell6046]

How kind and thoughtful of you for sharing and so very appreciated by many!!! Thank you 🥰

[@NicKelBrand]

Thank you, Julie, for showing us this process. A lot of us like to see how the soaps get from A to B to C to add to cart to our doorsteps to our showers! You make such WONDERFUL 🧼!! I love using them! ❤️❤️

[@nsziszo]

Beautiful and pure, looks so very “buttery”. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

[@sarahjohnson1435]

Thank you for sharing the recipe. I love watching you make soap and really appreciate it when artists share instructional videos.

[@yrMomIsHere]

Thank you for sharing! It’s nice to see what other soapers are doing, and what their numbers look like. I’ve always wanted to try a palm free recipe. And this looks outstanding for dry skin. This may have pointed me in the right direction. Many thanks 🙏

[@sheilakleinschmidt9739]

I can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing. I love watching your videos.

[@sarahsmith2156]

More than the recipe is seeing the process all the way through! So awesome, thank you 😊

[@fabricatedreality8218]

This recipe looks luscious..ive been making cold process soap for 7 months now and its so much fun. I am going to make this ❤ thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@moonlightbay8259]

This was one of the best videos I’ve seen. I cant wait to try this. I have learned so much from watching your videos and I grow not confident in my soaping each day. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😍❤️💕🤩

[@alisoncrawford1181]

Such a beautiful soap, looks so creamy. Thank you for being kind and sharing your tips.

[@carlosmerida9952]

Your video is very informative, especially for beginners. I think this is one of the most specific information for a soap makers thank you.

[@joanfischer1819]

Strangely enough, I use the same ingredients in my soaps apart from the mango butter. Thank you for sharing! As always, a pleasure to watch!

[@moonlightbay8259]

This was the best video I’ve seen ! I cant wait to try it ! I have learned so much from your videos and have grown my confidence in my soap making. Thank you so very much for sharing all that you do 😍😍😍

[@vickimcgill8430]

I love watching make soap! I have some of your soaps and I even wash my hair with them. My hair behaves so much better using your bars. Also, my skin has been itching a lot this winter. Using your soap has helped stop dry skin. You're an inspiration! Thanks for the recipe, too, by the way.

[@catherineengle4196]

TY for sharing all this info. I have been watching you for awhile and I love your videos. You as well as other soapers have inspired me. God Bless.

[@wisconsinwarrior38]

The beauty of simplicity!❤️

[@debbieb.8708]

That was nice of you to share your recipe. Thank you!

[@lauraw1973]

Mango butter is one of my all time favorites to use in soap. Its also amazing in liquid soap!

[@melindaduncan3073]

This looks so luxurious! All of those butters and oils!

[@stephaniekimaiyo8035]

Absolutely love watching you and I’ve learned so much from your videos. Thank you for this!!

[@guardianminifarm8005]

This is one of those extremely simple soaps that has lovely, sweet look. I am very partial to multi colored, swirled soaps; so, it surprises me when a simple, virtually uncolored soap grabs my attention like this one does.

[@lisaboeyen642]

Thankyou so much Julie for sharing, the soap looks beautiful.

[@tiffany7023]

Thank you for being so kind and sharing this with us! ❤️ You'll be blessed for being such a blessing!

[@rachelmageo773]

[@lisahill182]

Those are gorgeous! I loooved every minute of your video!! Thank you 🙂

[@RTJames-gq9xg]

This is absolutely a gorgeous bar: unscented and no colorants! Stunning. Thank you for sharing this lovely video. ❤❤

[@amygoersch8394]

This soap sounds heavenly to use! If I ever get brave enough to try my hand at soap making, this will probably be my go to recipe, as your soaps are the absolute best I've ever used.

[@alishasimms2846]

Why is it so satisfying to watch the poured soap expand and straighten the liner? It's the same watching the colors change as the mixer is pulled through the batter.

[@tassiegirl1991]

Julie this is a gorgeous looking soap, I love myself the simple bars more than high coloured ones. I’ve often wondered what oil butter combination you use, so thank you for sharing not only how you make soap via great videos but now a recipe for one of your soaps.

[@jennyolaechea9867]

I enjoyed watching it. It's so pretty, thanks for sharing!!

[@shannon.N]

Serious luxury! Love this video, it is a nice change of pace 💕.

[@ariadragonfly5640]

So close to my favorite recipe that was my go to. My customer's loved the creamy bubbles! Sad that I'm not able to make soap any longer but love to watch you create Julie! edit: I didn't use all of those butters but omg it looks creamy and that's the base I'd want my soaps in hehe ok? hugs hunni

[@kemswan2754]

I absolutely love you Ophelia, as a new soaper I’ve learned so much from you. You’re always willing to give helpful information and answer questions I have thank you so much ☺️ and Please don’t change 😉

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it!!! I’ll never change! 😝

[@kemswan2754]

@@OpheliasSoapery And I sincerely apologize to you if my recent question was inappropriate.

[@steelersgirl071961]

I live this creamy color in soap! I also love soaps that are very conditioning. So, you gel all your soaps, that cool, I have my first cold process soap kit from Bramble berry and I'm scared but excited to use it lol, but I will soon so I can see my first homemade soap. Thank you Julie for sharing all your wonderful videos, I enjoy them all. 🥰👍😊

You make it look SO EASY...but those of us who make soap know how much work you put in. Thank you for inspiring me. I mean that with all my heart. I love the butter bars! Great work.

[@RosesareWild6323]

You are one of the best soaper's you shared your recipe. I will order these items , and I'll let them know you sent me to them. Thanks again

[@vblisa843]

I love my soaps after the oven method!

[@heavenlyhandsmassageacupun131]

Oh my goodness. I did it! Thank you so much for your video & recipe. I made my first batch yesterday it turned out okay. I think I wasn't patient enough for the hand stirring allowing the hard butter to melt. And the scent I chose sped up the process. Today's patch came out perfect. I paid attention to the oil I chose & I took my time. I'm not tech savvy so I don't know how to add a pic. But I SO APPRECIATE YOU❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ I tagged your video from my page.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

That’s great!! The heat transfer method is totally optional. You can melt them first then add your room temperature lye solution :)

[@pleasantfarmscandle]

Fantastic Julie!!! Queen!!! Beautiful!! I have yet to use Kokum butter in any of my recipes, i will have to experiment with this butter.

[@deurbanscents2561]

Really nice. Looks so creamy. Thanks for sharing.😀

You are an artist, thank you for always sharing🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 greetings from Cancún😊

[@mandiruscher7335]

I love love love butter in my soap, don’t use lard and I haven’t tried kokum in anything but body butter so I’ll give this recipe a whirl!

[@LadyGecko]

Thank you for sharing your recipe, I will be trying this.

[@jacquiemarshall5275]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I also make a butter bars but have not tried Kokum Butter. I might give this a try.

[@debbieescobar6267]

Jacquie Marshall I love kokum butter! they say if you add too much (>5 or 10% I think) the soap gets crumbly. So you will have plenty left over for body butters and lip balms (where I use in place of cocoa butter)

[@Sandifitzy23]

Lovely soap.. I’m going to add sugar too now if it helps with more bubbles 🥰. Thanks 🙂

[@CBTJaco]

Muchas gracias por compartir tu receta y método, aprendo mucho contigo. Más por favor! Cariños desde España 😘🤗👍

[@marciacolombet3707]

Incredible recipe btw…Tnx so much for sharing

WOW NOW THIS IS A REAL TREAT! THANK'S!!!😁😁😁🤗

[@conniebrannen5504]

Thank you. Beautiful soap.

[@sammeemadison9079]

Cool! Thanks for the recipes. Didn’t think to add sodium lactate to my soap that arent so hard.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

You can use plain ol’ table salt too! 1 tsp per pound of oils :)

[@therealJamieJoy]

yummy yummy creamy soaps!

[@quintorriahodges819]

I like this video its so veryy easy to understand and simple i am gonna make it soon thanks

[@iwant2bback]

I cannot get enough of you videos! Love your work! I kind of vent because we are not allowed to do anything really in EU. Every single recipe (with all it’s additives) is considered a single recipe and it needs to be assessed and they cost a lot! I have 6 assessed and that is all I am allowed to do at the moment. So basically I just repeat them only. Ehhh boring

[@JandWSoaps]

Thank you for sharing so much! I love the simplicity of the design on this soap. I love your intricate designs too. I just love all your designs. 😍🥰

[@zoranasp9922]

Wow! Lovely 😍
