Making Shampoo Bars Just Got a Lot Easier... // Royalty Soaps

[@madisonroxino]

honestly this stuff is so reasonable in price I've never really made soap but I've spent $7-10 on a single shampoo bar for that price I could get two pounds and customise to my liking👍

[@chameelatorrence6935]

It really makes a difference. I make my own also.

make shampoo bar cupcakes with regular soap frosting, so people can break them apart and use one side for shaving/shampoo and the other side as regular soap

This would be SO fun to make your own bars regardless of if you gift or sell them. I have so many scents I'd love to wash my hair with but aren't common shampoo scents, so this would be so fun to make peach prosecco or mint chocolate scented shampoos 🥰

[@krysaboyce5353]

Oooooh mint chocolate would be amazing!

[@bronwynreed5184]

Hi crew, love the idea of a melt and pour shampoo bar. Here is one for the test kitchen... Shred the different colours mix them up and use the bath bomb press to press all the shreds back together, that way you have a multi coloured bar with attitude. I have always though that pressing shred would be a good way of using any soap shreds. Also you could add different hair additives to each colour... Cheers from OZ

omg that would be so pretty!! kind of like a confetti soap bar

Is that possible to smash soap shreds into a bath bomb bar?

I am one of those crazy people that has all the ingredients for this. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Propylene Glycol Glyceryl Stearate, Aqua, Glycerin. Good to know this exists. I just made a traditional glycerin melt and pour. When I remelted it I added SCI for shites and giggles. Waiting to try it out.

[@heathersmeather]

🧼🫧It’s been about a week that I received my first order from royalty soaps. I am SO impressed. I love how my skin feels after using it. Not too dry or tight. Just really clean and soft. The scents are not overpowering either. I have a sensitivity to many perfumes (and chemicals). No, zero, nada headaches. I have tried the honey soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Very nice. The blameless shampoo and conditioner are also nice. I LOVE the peppermint candy soap! It smells so dang good. It’s probably a Christmas soap but I’m using it all summer. I just ordered some more soap to try different scents and an agave shampoo bar. I’m so excited, hehee! 😆 Side note, the Nintendo princess inspired soaps are so stinking cute. My 16 yr old (also a Katie 😉) ran off with the princess peach soap. She thinks it’s too pretty to use. Lol…I’ll get her to try it soon. Thank you, Katie, for great quality products. 😁

[@jessicadirkis7567]

Royalty soaps products are addicting, I love the agave shampoo bar!

[@sheilabailey5185]

Hi Katie, I’ve been using this for a while now, here’s a tip for you. Use the Zeni colours for melt and pour , micas tend to look a bit grainy and don’t work to good. Zeni colours are only made for melt and pour bases, they are awesome, hope this helps. Sheila xxxx

[@kathywelch9466]

Can you add other things like argan oil or hemp seed oil?

[@nowexit]

I tested this a few month back here in the UK and it's true it does make a great general shampoo, hair felt clean and soft but I would also say that it doesn't last very long, not as long as CP does and no where near as long a traditional shampoo bars. For me personally the soap voice in the back of my brain kept saying "but you didn't make it, Stephenson's did!" so I've continued with the traditional presses shampoo bars. This would be great for people new to the craft or kids.

[@nancytguimaraes]

How long did it last?

[@nowexit]

@@nancytguimaraes Difficult to say because it depends how often a person washes their hair and how much hair they have, for me, short male hair washed daily it lasted 3 weeks where as my pressed solid shampoo bars last me 4 months. The Syndopour is perfect if you're going on holiday for a week its all you would need to take to wash your hair and use it as a body wash.

[@nancytguimaraes]

@@nowexit That is definitely a big difference. I think I’ll stick to formulating a good shampoo bar. Thank you for replying.

[@wendyg4706]

In the UK too and wondered about trying these. Just had my shampoo bar assessed and whilst they are great, I hate working with SCI (and multiple ingredients) and wondered if these would be worth considering. Interesting they don't last long and like you, my head would say "I didn't make them"

[@solveigw]

This looks like such a fun project! Will definitely check out if I can get hold of some base here in Norway. Talking of stained glass, did you know that UN has declared 2022 the year of glass? So stained glass art has special focus now :)

Thank you Katie! Wouldn't have a business without you!

[@natashagreen5385]

Iv been making these for years n was always told that there's no such thing as a Melt & Pour Shampoo Bar using Stephenson Brand Bases. Iv added Shea butter, Mango butter, Hempseed Oil, jojoba oil etc. Iv always believed and used the Double boiler method as you don't have the cloudyness, I put my Mica in a lil rubbing alcohol before adding to. I use very detailed moulds

[@michellecrutchfield8701]

I'm SO EXCITED, I'm beyond words! SHOOK am I, I think so... I'm ALL over this! Thank you Katie! YES, the soaping world needed to know this!! I have SO many customers asking for shampoo bars, and I've had to tell them for the past year, SO many times: Um, I"m sorry, I can't finance that venture just yet. WELL, not anymore! OH my gosh... I'm SO very excited!! Thank you Katie so very much!!

[@tressanemcik4497]

I honestly love the first batch just because it gave beautiful contrast to the design of that mold. It was stunning!

[@the.muffin]

oh my god those colours turned out so vibrant on the rainbow bar!!!!!

[@KM-iv9wy]

Oh wow that's really cool! Maybe these will appear in your shop once you find out exactly what you want to do with it? I'd purchase them! I've bought soaps from you for about a year now I think and I only use your shampoo bars and conditioners. They just feel so much better for me than big box store products feel. Can't wait to see the next collection!

[@Wyvernn2000]

for her conditioner bars, is it supposed to lather at all? I’m the kinda person that needs slip because I mainly brush my hair in the shower and I feel like nothing goes on my hair when I use it unless I really work it

[@KM-iv9wy]

@Angela Stanley no the conditioner isn't supposed to lather. I've personally never used conditioner that's lathered. The shampoo does though and you don't need A LOT, and I have really thick hair.

SAME!!! I just got my supplies like a month ago and have played around with them, but still not completely happy.

[@chipmunkcorner248]

About 3-4 months I bought this base because I saw your video. What I did was - I melted down all my shampoo bars that were too small to use in the shower. I took some of the base and melted it with it. I also did the same for the conditioner bars. I used the conditioner base. Thankyou for reviewing this as this actually turned out to be a useful and budget friendly way to stretch out my shampoo & conditioner bars. My hair is super soft.

[@mouse589c5]

I want to buy this bar SO BAD!!! I know you weren't overly happy with how the colour was too overloaded, and it may look different IRL but I think that it adds to the rainbow effect 😍

this is a great product Katie i bought my first melt & pour 2 years ago in Australia no more tones of ingredients and my hair loves it great results x

[@noctoi]

HOly crap, I need to research this for Australia. I can't use soap anymore because of my lymphedema legs. I've been told quite sternly by my physician NOT to use soap. This opens up SO many options for me to make my own cleansing bars and liquids without using a soap base!!! I"M SO EXCITED!!!!

[@natashagreen5385]

You still need to spray rubbing alcohol between each layer to help each layer stick otherwise your layers will separate and break apart and on the top to remove the bubbles n it helps to spray the mould before using

[@jaytee3baxter]

Thank you so much for sharing this information, I didn't see this until about a year after you posted it, but I bought some Syndopour, it came a couple of days ago, I made some shampoo bars yesterday and washed my hair with it, I didn't even need a rinse and my hair feels soft and healthy. I gave a bar to a friend to have her family test it out. I have never considered Melt and Pour before as I love soapmaking (not soap crafting), but syn-det shampoo bars make so much sense for me as we have hard water here and other shampoo bars haven't worked well for me without a vinegar rinse.

Katie!! It'd be cool if you could do another video (or series) where you test different shampoo base recipes and share which ones you like more! I would personally opt for a recipe for fine and thin hair, but that's just me. You do you, booboo!

I use this wonderful base to make whipped icing for my dessert soaps and it pips nicely until it cools just like melt and pour does

I have been making these for a few weeks and my customers LOVE them!!!! I add extra oils for different types of hair.

[@Twistedtree7]

I was just going to ask, how it acted with additions. Have you by chance tried adding any extracts etc.

[@Schypha]

I have noticed that it is very hard to get a fragrance oil to come thru with the conditioner. I even added extra fragrance and the smell of the conditioner just overwhelms it.

[@Schypha]

@@Twistedtree7 I used Jojoba oil in my first set and then hemp seed in the second. I have not added an extract but have added vanilla powders and other very small botanicals with no issues. My customers are raving about them.
