I am new to soap making and making candles. It helps with my PTSD depression and anxiety. All of the soap makers i have watched have been very helpful. I enjoy the way each one of yall get excited about your soap. Being a Marine I did some time at the Miramar navel air station before it became Miramar Marine Corp air station. I want to say thanks to your husband and his family for yalls service. God bless and Semper Fi.

@theresavandever13873 ай бұрын
Very pretty soap, I love lavender but I would have just used the darkest purple and then added TD to lighten the other 3 layers. That way you wouldn't have had such different colors, you would have had the ombre' you were looking for. Doing the ombre' would have been so much prettier. These are very pretty but the colors are off for what I think you were intending and using TD to lighten each layer would have been so much better. That one color that turned to a fuchsia really don't match and the other that turned more grey really don't go with the first layer either. Using just the one purple and lightening it each layer you know exactly how each layer will turn out and there won't be such a drastic change in color. But I do see where you were going with this, but next time try using TD and just the one color. You can still use your gold mica and the design paddles but again these are pretty.

Love your videos! You are definitely the Queen of Soaping! After watching so many of your videos I cannot get a feel for what your favorite combo of oils are. In your (4 different recipes) test I was impressed by number 2 with no palm. However none were done with fragrance so we know that can change up the game. If you had to choose 1 of your staple recipes, which would it be? Thanks so much for all of the lovely content and soap on!

Hi Ellen, Karen here from the cruise. I have the fragrance oil of French lavender also but what percentage did you use? Plus did it stay after the cure or is it faint? Beautiful soap with the layers. I shall try it. I have made your triple butter recipe about 3 yrs ago. Love it❤

If you change an oil in a CP recipe, it's now a new formula and you'll need to run the numbers thru soap calc to make sure your lye ratio is correct.

Can’t wait to try this recipe, I’m a newbie so I hope I do it justice. Have a question if you don’t mind, what is the difference in using the different milks in soap in the final product? Coconut vs goat vs buttermilk etc. they all seem amazing but wondering if there are any major differences. Thanks for all your beautiful videos!!
@EllenRuthSoap3 ай бұрын
I personally don't notice a big difference between all the milks, it's mostly label appeal. Any milk will add a creaminess to the lather.
