🟥 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 intended 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 safety gear during the entire soapmaking process, even while cleaning up. I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining. However, due to the many variables that can affect a particular batch of soap, if you do try any of my methods or techniques that I use in my videos, I cannot be held liable or responsible for your results.

Hi! I hope you're all doing well! I'm really enjoying making these chopstick swirl soaps. The pour takes a little longer than I'd like, but I just love the end result. My next video is an in-the-pot swirl that I should have posted within the next week or so. Thanks so much for watching! -Holly :)

[@Marian.Mateo8]

❤❤❤

[@DIYsWithLorla]

Thanks a lot for this video, you inspiring me a lot. What do you think about soaping with 100% coconut oil, 20% superfat?

[@CreativeGirlLisa]

Hi You make the most r beautiful soap ever❤ Can I ask where can I buy that soap mold you use?? Looks like it’s so much easier for my hands to use I love it … thx u

[@deddleman3099]

Hi Holly, was wondering if there was another way to get this recipe as I only have internet on my phone, which is a little hard to get everything. Beautiful soap, thank you

[@RosiesArtStudio]

Love your videos! Can you tell me which size mold you used? I clicked your link, but I see the mold is offered in more than one size. Thanks!!

[@leannlayton4221]

Can you interchange tallow and lard? Would you use the same measurements?

[@janette1694]

Where can I purchase your soap mould- never saw a clear one like this ?

[@FariraiMuchena-wj4nq]

Where can I get that cutter ,the one you used to cut the individual soaps

[@ivanromanovych8903]

Hello. I really like your work, thank you. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong: When mixing oils with a solution (30-35 degrees Celsius), the mass thickens within a few minutes, I beat with a blender for a minute or two, I can’t make designer soap because thickens quickly. Here is my composition: Olive -200 grams, Coconut-250; Macadamia-100; Castor -100 grams; Shea 200 grams; alkali-116.41; water-280 ml., Silk 5 grams. Tried at different temperatures but all the same.

[@atibatianya]

Try soaping at 40-44 Celsius and get thin trace. Do not stir too long.

[@plantingwithnat]

Hi, Holly, i have a question about the oven light. What if your oven does not have an oven light. I live in an apartment and they use old stoves.

[@chefioannidou3654]

👏❤️🤗

[@VeroNika-gc7mb]

Why you still with spatula while blending the mixture? To help release air bubbles?

[@sk.emdadulhaquek4149]

Vv good

[@alicemwangi7698]

Beautiful.. is titanium dioxide safe for the skin?

[@jeanettehaygood4154]

@hollysoapmaking Holly I may have missed it but I’d like to ask about the proportions of soap batter. Is the white about half and the other two colors about a fourth each OR is each color in thirds?

[@elisasousa2233]

Where you buy the mold,please? Is beautiful and make perfect soap! Thank you

[@hollysoapmaking]

Custom Craft Tools. It’s listed below the video. 😊

[@houneidabensalah9613]

❤❤😍👏👏👏

[@hvnlyangellee]

Do you have a recipe like this but without the lard?

[@melodycross498]

Is there a reason why you change the percentage amounts of each oil on different videos?

[@HarryDunlopClark]

That medium colour brown soap looks SO much like caramel

[@lorigriffith9108]

The clays used in this video are impossible to find. Can you provide a link? I looked at symphony scents - couldn’t find these. Thx

[@blessoulmateajay-np1by]

Is the caustic soda mixed with warm water or cold water

[@peaceandfuntimes]

My name is Holly too , lol ill call my channel Hallys Soapmaking

[@user-vx5uj1cy5l]

J aimerais bien acheter aussi vos moules si possible

[@hollywilson8193]

Where can I purchase this soap cutter?

[@martasilvalima4141]

Bom dia! Parabéns pelo seu trabalho ele é lindo e delicado. Ainda estou engatinhando no cold, mas um dia pretendo chegar nesse nível. Aprendo muito com você. Bjo!

[@ramyasdairy5705]

Hi mam mentioned in gram calculation

[@gnomeburrito]

This would be great with a caramel fragrance

[@MsAubrey]

I thought it looked like caramel swirls in white chocolate!
