Making Soap That Looks Like Marble | MO River Soap

[@KayCee0216]

Absolutely gorgeous. So happy you left the top alone! Gorgeous marbling

[@tisha4lives]

I LOVE HOLLY. I wish you had a recipe book. I'm such a fan and you're such a great teacher that I'd pay whatever. Only a few soapers I say this to.❤️ You're one of the 3.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I appreciate it. I do share a recipe in the description box. I have shared my salt soap recipe, bath bomb recipe, and sugar scrub recipe too in various videos.😄 The recipe for my regular line of soaps is attached to the business itself and I do not have the rights to share it.

[@rawbathandbeauty]

@@moriversoap oh wow. Are you in a partnership that says you can't give out the recipe. It's not your recipe?

[@moriversoap]

@@rawbathandbeauty It is my recipe. I formulated it many, many years ago. But I am in a partnership and it was agreed that the recipe would stay with the business itself.

[@kasebentley9406]

you all prolly dont care but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me

[@conradmaddox6275]

@Kase Bentley Instablaster :)

[@camsanders5756]

Ohhh, anise! I'm not a black licorice fan but love the smell of anise (go figure). This is such an elegant design -- the swirl worked out perfectly.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Cam! I think that happens alot! Sometimes eating something just takes the fun right out of it but the smell is oh so good.

[@dacrazyblacklady]

This turned out so beautifully. I can imagine the scent. Yummy!! ❤❤

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Yes, it was amazing!

[@donnaclark9834]

Absolutely Stunning!! I learn so much from these videos!

[@moriversoap]

I'm so glad! Thank you!

[@sjastram]

I love in the pot swirls. So pretty!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@shananigans6154]

Ok this swirl is absolutely stunning!!!!!!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@michelleshelby01]

That turned out gorgeous. I'm going to order myself some Anise soon. I love the scent. Thanks Holly

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Michelle!

[@lball9975]

Such beautiful soap! I love the smell of anise.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! It smells so good!

[@ivonvalle2683]

These came out Beautiful.

[@arlenegilmore3928]

This marble look is beautiful. I'm always amazed at the way you handle that big pot. You have a great talent, I really appreciate you sharing. Thank you!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Arlene! I really struggled with that pot at first but I've gotten used to it.

[@katieprice4201]

I am in love with how this turned out!!!!!

[@moriversoap]

Me too! I love it!

[@tink5265]

Yay, starting the week with another Holly video :-) grew up eating anise biscotti (Italian nonna) so am looking forward to this soap. Take your time, we will be here waiting. Sending you good energy!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Tink! I love anise biscotti too. As a teenager, we lived next to an Italian grandma-age woman. I would go over and she'd have all sorts of Italian treats. So good!

[@tubalchemy432]

Beautiful ! the second loaf you cut looked like it had a design of a face ! someone with that kind of granite countertop would love this also ! thanks for sharing

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@datbat1]

I saw a face, too. Looks like a cat. I'm glad you said it. I thought I was delirious. Great marble technique, though. I've seen other marble soaps that were a lot more complicated to produce but not necessarily better. I wish I could keep my batter this fluid.

[@PJWorthy]

Three pointer-Holly hit the target! Happy almost Spring everyone! I love these freakin’ videos.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Polly!

[@dianesilvestriclifford5691]

This is such a delicious soap. I bought 3 of these for Christmas. My husband loves it. I love the fragrance and the bubbles and the creaminess of it.

[@moriversoap]

I am so happy you love it Diane!!

[@Bellessentials]

Absolutely in love with this soap! It’s simple yet sophisticated at the same time! ❤️ Vicki

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Vicki!

[@cathygilani4663]

Looks like a winner Holly! Well done!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Cathy!

[@loisoleary5217]

I love the marbled look. A book with your favorite recipes would be great. I need to start working again, as I miss it so much!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Lois! Maybe that is something I can look into sometime.

[@helenkabat3400]

Holly I am just amazed at how well you pour out soap into the small jugs. I make a mess more often than not. lol You are also one of my favorite soap artists to watch.🥰

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I amaze myself every time I actually make it. LOL

[@rhadika22]

This is just stunning 😍

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@delanietaggard7610]

Definitely going to have to buy one of these bars!! Looks so awesome!!😁❤

[@moriversoap]

Yay! Thank you Delanie!!

[@Red-Bird-October]

This soap is GORGEOUS! 😍 And your pour into the smaller pitcher was VERY impressive! 🙌🏼

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Jennifer! 😀

[@lilyp6910]

This looks incredible

[@moriversoap]

[@johnw021]

I absolutely love how this soap came out. It’s perfect!! xx

[@moriversoap]

[@kezru1581]

Stunning soap Holly, it's always a pleasure watching you create. Thank you.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@meeprific]

So glad you left the top, so pretty!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@Arizonadesertsoaps]

The colors make the soap so elegant .

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Charlotte!

[@lianne2830]

Beautiful marble swirl! And I love black licorice too!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! It's so good!

[@1mysticsage]

As you were showing the designs of the soaps it reminded me of marble they’re beautiful

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@BriannaMarieG]

Thank you for adding the clip at the end of you arranging the bars on the tray! It’s so satisfying to watch someone else be as equally particular about lining things up as I am. I love anise and black licorice as well. These bars are so beautiful and luxurious looking. ☺️😍🤩

[@moriversoap]

Haha I am glad you liked it! I also love to watch things being lined up.

[@teridoster5840]

So beautiful! 💜 LOOOVE black licorice, hubby hates it and so does our son. So when he was growing up, I knew if I wanted to keep some candy in the house for me that they wouldn't gobble up, I'd get a couple bags of Good n Plenty, ha! 😄

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Teri! Now that sounds like a good plan. In our house, licorice goes so fast that I often miss out. Haha!

[@sherischonaman7574]

I love the look of this one! I wish I could smell it … yum!

[@die-gute-seife4036]

How cool is that! In the end of the cutting from the first part of your third loaf you got eyes on the sides!! Love it!!

[@moriversoap]

How fun! I hadn't noticed that.

[@ladyjcreates22]

The stirring the batter is super satisfying! 🥰🥰🥰

[@moriversoap]

I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@kimroberson2931]

Holly, great video as usual. The warning sound completely scared me as I had turned my head away. Lol

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Haha, I didn't mean to scare anyone. LOL

[@jeannierickard8504]

What a neat soap. I like that your left the top just how it poured out of the bucket.

[@moriversoap]

Yay! Thank you Jeannie!

[@lauriesorenson3172]

Beautiful job, as always, Holly. Thank you for sharing. God bless

[@adavalentine414]

[@evehsv5556]

Gorgeous swirls I love it thanks Holly.💐💕

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@consuela3214]

Wow just amazed how you pour the soap from that gigantic pot. Amazing swirl patterns

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! It amazes me too...especially when I don't make a huge mess. Haha!

[@destbmh]

This soap is stunning! Like wow!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@g143h]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Bobbi!

[@NurseMickiLea]

I really liked the design that showed up in the soap this time Holly♥️♥️♥️ What a fun but simple soap

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Yes, it's a great design and super easy!

[@HisLivingWater]

As usual you did an amazing job on this soap Holly. Thank you so much for sharing your creations with us🥰🥰

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Kathie!

[@melissaoverland692]

Beautiful soap! Thanks for another great video! Hope you have a great week!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Melissa!

[@dianeespinoza8647]

This was fun to watch 🥳 13:14 there is a swirl that looks like an eye on the side of the loaf that faces the camera.

[@lizajane3293]

Wow, what a great-looking soap!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you so much!

[@cindymccutcheon231]

Simply lovely!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Cindy!

[@bytheSEAsoaps]

Wonderful yes high end looking soap~!! If you were to guess proportions what percentage of the batch was black? Like 20% to 80 % of something like that? Thank you so much Holly for all you do!

[@PNWelope]

Anyone else see the face at 13:27??!! Two eyes and a nose, way cool!

[@moriversoap]

That was neat for sure!

[@lathersoaps]

There was a better winged liner on those eyes than I've ever been able to accomplish on myself! 😂

[@Allahguest]

Oh yeah

[@steelersgirl071961]

Oh my, I love the look of marble! Been wanting to do one myself. I can't wait until you soap release!! I'm getting one of these babies lol!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you bunches!

[@waynegross2113]

Hi Holly! Beautiful soap! I love Anise too. Black licorice and original chex mix are some of my favorite snacks! I've never made an Anise soap and should, but I'd probably keep them all because of the smell!!!! Great to watch you again. Jill Gross

[@moriversoap]

Hi Jill! That would be a great snack combo!! You definitely should make some Anise soap!

[@WWGT7]

Yes! glad someone else noticed too! It was stunning!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@vmtracy]

This soap matches out master bath completely! I must have it! BTW I love black licorice!!

[@moriversoap]

How fun! This soap will be perfect!

[@codybrookehanson2346]

So beautiful! Not a black licorice person myself but one of my daughters and my husband are huge fans! I just might have to give it a try

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! It would be fun for them. Anise smells so good in soap.

[@swatt4659]

Such a pretty soap!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@kristie5916]

WOW this is gorgeous Holly! 😍

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@cynthiaabraham5849]

Very pretty,love the marble effect

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Cynthia!

[@cindyferrare5874]

I love the eyes at 12:55. Beautiful soap.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Cindy!

[@angelalewis460]

Does anybody else see the eyes at 12:57? Pretty cool.

[@dolphinwoodhousesoaps2595]

Looks great! Thank you for sharing!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@BodyCareBoutique]

Ermagersh, THAT is one of my fav's! I am addicted to black, and the contrast against the white is awesome! 🖤🤍

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Do you like licorice? I am going to text and ask!

[@crystaldawn8875]

Star Anise is excellent in tea for chest congestion but i adore the smell of black licorice its really good blended with a tiche of vanilla it smells like a creamy candy! Gorgeous Marbled Soap!!!😍

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Crystal! I absolutely love licorice tea but haven't had any in years.

[@terrienelson760]

Very nice. I love the marble look 👀

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Terrie!

[@raventhomas6964]

Omg that loaf off to the side has a dog face in the swirl!❤️

[@moriversoap]

How fun!

[@SummerOreosGirl]

I loveeee that design!, but in a different scent. It would be great for “softly” scented soaps. I’m also just dying to go behind you as you go along and clean up all the little “messes”. Loved the video!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Haha, you'd have consistent work if that was your job. lol

[@dcb5780]

Very pretty!!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@UrbanGirlNavigatesWorld]

Beautiful

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@muhammadsaquibjamadar5433]

Beautiful!, thank you for the wonderful soap making process, watching your video over & over just to enjoy the process😊 . i want to add aloe Vera gel & goat milk to it , can i add directly to the oils , will it be ok and not spoiling the soap.

[@AmyMirandaBeauty]

Very nice, love the swirls Holly !

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@melindaduncan3073]

Those are really beautiful and I love black licorice, black jellybeans etc. yummy! I bet they smell wonderful!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Melinda! We'll take about any black licorice here too.

[@ramonitavalentin5451]

Hi Holly, I absolutely in love with this marble soap of yours. I like anise in a special tea I make for a tropical rice pudding but never smell it in a soap. I loved it the 1st time you made this soap and i'm still in love it now💖🖤🖤

[@moriversoap]

Awe thank you Ramonita! That tropical rice pudding sounds amazing!

[@PJWorthy]

Yep-I spied the eye!!!!

[@moriversoap]

So cool!

[@222NancyG]

Your black licorice soap is the bomb Holly!! I still have a piece of a bar from when I ordered it last. I saved it and put it in a plastic bag so I could use it on my really stressed out days. LoL

[@moriversoap]

That's great! Thank you for loving it Nancy! I am not sure who this person is responding to you here but he's been all over my comments in the last 24 hours.

[@sarahcook9935]

Hey! Holly...Anise reminds me of Sambucca lovely with coffee....a pick you up and perk you up drink😉. Gorgeous as ever. Thank you 💜

[@moriversoap]

Oh fun! Thank you Sarah. I am going to have to look that up!

[@bluebutterflycollection4634]

Nice design looks real pretty!! At 13:30 the design on the side looks like an eye... pretty cool..

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@vernaharris8730]

Those are so pretty! I'll have to give this a try. My grandson wants me to formulate a design just for him. :)

[@moriversoap]

That sounds fun Verna!

[@nilzagarcia6341]

That’s a beauty!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@EdensSecret1]

Lookin soooo good Holly

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Karen!

[@bri.bris17]

I love how super excited you are! Not a fan of the scent but I think you should definitely do this design again.

[@moriversoap]

Haha thank you Brianna!

[@jenniferjewell3633]

That is beautiful. There is a face on the side facing the camera of that first full loaf you cut!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! So fun!

[@sgtgarcia52]

As others have mentioned in earlier comments, I also see a face on the side of the loaf at about 13 mins - it calls to mind one of those vintage ads for Pears soap, from the late 1800s! Plus, on the next loaf (about 15 mins), a beautiful Venetian mask appears! This is such an elegant soap. I wish I loved anise, but am in the "other" group.... ;)

[@moriversoap]

How fun is that! Thank you!

[@ChocolateMelanin]

Love 💕 it.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@wolrdtraveller]

I love watching your channel. Gives me peace abs confidence : )

[@moriversoap]

Awe that is so nice! Thank you!

[@hedgerow.homestead]

That is such a cool look. I am not a fan of anise but I love the look of the soap

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@jizzellreyna]

13:05 I see two eyes! looking at us haha

[@moriversoap]

Haha! It's fun when those designs happen.

[@RM-no3wj]

Those patterns in that anise soap OMGosh gorgeous I have one from a previous batch she made that I just started using sweetness , kinda hard to not want licorice candy after using it

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Rose! I am glad you like it!

[@mitalimmadan4021]

Very pretty soap

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@marianavanzyl5754]

Beautiful and I bet is smells devine.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! It sure does!

[@Durpydurp4488]

I got anxiety thinking you might texture that top. It was so beautiful as you left it! This was really fun to watch.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Sometimes I get anxiety about the tops too. LOL

[@chascatt]

Have you done a video on your setup? I can see your camera rig in the oil reflection. Can you show us what it looks like and your software etc?

[@moriversoap]

I do have studio tours on my channel. Also I think I showed some of it in the vlog videos too. (Links to the vlog are in the video description of this video.) I'm not sure what you mean by software though.

[@cindylawrence1655]

Love this soap! What do you mix with the activated charcoal and how much?

[@moriversoap]

Thanks! I don't have my notes near me so I can't see for sure. But I usually mixed the charcoal with olive oil.

[@TrudyTutti-jm5wj]

Howdy from Oklahoma Holly! A couple days ago I made your Marble Soap w Anise E.O.! I've only been in the soap making world since May of this year, and I've had anise for a couple months now, but didn't really know what to do with it🤔 Then when you said it smelled like black licorice, so I had to go check it out for myself. And I was like "yeah, that actually does smell like black licorice!"🤯And I love marble, so I thought this was perfect to try out! I agree with you that this soap looks very classy!🎩🧐👌 Thank you for all your videos. I pretty much watch them ery day! I just love your laugh!🤭I've also tried your pumpkin and maple syrup soap idea (I purchased Simi's book after you brought it up in your video. It's awesome!👍)I've added banana to an unscented soap, others I've added milk and or honey to my oils. I've learned so much from your videos, and wanted to say THANK YOU, thank you, ThAnK YoU!!🙏Many blessings to you and your family!!💛

[@moriversoap]

That's so fun! Thank you so much!

[@rutgenesis]

thank you for this tutorial! how did you dissolve the activated charcoal to make it into a paste before adding it to the oil mix? ?

[@moriversoap]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I mixed the charcoal with batch oils.

[@Dyanne18]

i love watching all you videos..It inspire me.🙂

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@marydavis4551]

Holly, for those that the scraping sounds gets to them, they can just mute it. You do a wonderful job making soap and don't need that to worry you. BTW the soap is magical!!!!! I'm really missing your vlogs!!!!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

[@joannpage6691]

So beautiful and elegant looking.🖤🤍🖤

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!
