Thanks for the helpful video! I started soap making backwards, going straight for Cold Process because I thought that was how "real" soap "should" be made. But I now realize that's a silly mindset to have. Cold Process is great, but there's nothing wrong with Melt and Pour! I'm excited to have an easier and safer method under my belt for times when I want to make pretty soap but I really don't feel like going the extra mile.

We'll be sure to melt more soap down at a time so it doesn't overheat so quickly next time! xD The quality of the soap probably also makes a huge difference, since Michael's soap isn't on par with Bramble Berry!!

Hello! I have a question. I’ve been watching a LOT of soap making tutorials recently and have been learning about the science and steps to cold processed soaps. While it seems fun and rewarding, I can’t help but wonder why someone would go through all that work, money, and the safety risks when they could just use melt & pour bases. What are the benefits to cold processed versus M&P? (Anyone can answer). Thank you for making this video!
@MarandaisAmazing3 жыл бұрын
If you make your own soap, you can customize the quality of the soap, more or less lather, more moisturizing depending on what oil or combination of oils you use to make the soap. Of course you can follow recipes for this as well, but advanced soap makers will use their own favorite formulas. The three standard are palm oil (some people don't really like this option for environmental reasons) olive oil, and coconut oil, but almond oil and several others are also options. It is also more cost effective when you buy bulk amounts of lye and oils instead of buying something pre-made (even if the video says it cost effective to buy melt and pour) And even more cost effective when you buy oil from a soap making company where the oils are NOT food grade. Why pay more for something you are obviously not going to eat? haha! The last point is that there is something fun being the science of creating your own soap, it feels almost more fulfilling to make it from scratch and to be able to handle your materials safely. Of course it takes more work I hope this helped
@wisemoon402 жыл бұрын
Thé advantage for melt and pour, in my opinion, is that it’s easier to make smaller batches, and it hardens faster. If you’re wanting to experiment with different fragrances, or aesthetics like color, layers, add-ins, etc. you can see the results much more quickly and decide if it’s what you want, or if it came out different than you expected. Soap from scratch is not super hard, but it does take more time, supplies and safety equipment, and you need to cure your soap for several weeks.

Found out about your company through Royalty Soaps, and found you have YT tutorials. All these soap videos is making me want to get into it too as a hobby, make gifts for my family type of thing. I would LOVE to try cold process but it seems like just about anything that you can do with cold process you can also do with this melt and pour, considering glycerin is the only difference between the two, really. And I suppose with cold, you can have different mixes of different oils/butters. So here's my questions. Which is CHEAPER to make, sans equipment?? Say I wanna do cupcake soaps exclusively. How much would it cost to do a batch (12) as cold process vs a melt and pour??? Would I have to get a mold with the icing portion built into it for the melt and pour, or is there a way to make "icing" the way you can make with cold process?? How much melt and pour would it take, approximately? Also, I have Anosmia. Will that affect my ability to use scents? I'm thinking I'll probably need a test sniffer (hello kids, lol). Does Brambleberry offer scent samplers so we know what the scents smell like before we buy them for use??

There's this natural glycerin soap I got at a store next to my place a number of years ago. I don't know if they fanned before packaging and distributing, but after opening it still sweat. So I at least know that for whichever they did that it will sweat after. Also, the last bar I had I hardly got to use. I had it in a travel soap dish I use and left in the shower, since it was fine with all the other soaps I used, mostly Irish Spring since that's what I kept having available as cheapest over the years, or my mother had stocked up in the bathroom and not using, etc. Went up to my grandparents for a couple weeks, came back, and almost the whole bar was a puddle in the soap dish. So it seems if using glycerine, really watch the humidity and store in a completely sealed container away from moisture if not using for long periods after opening.

Is there a video or like a guide I can read about how clear melt and pour soaps react to certain fragrances? Like what fragrances will get them cloudy or what fragrance will not affect the clarity of the soap etc...

Thank you so much for this video. I have heard that if we use botanicals in a melt & pour soup then the soap needs to be used up within 30 days because the botanicals start rotting. Is that true? If that is true, is there a way to prevent that? Thanks!

They will turn brown but they will not rot since the pH of the soap does not allow for bacteria or mold growth. We do recommend using them quickly when they are prettiest!
