Those swirls look amazing I had to replay it like 3 times. The ingredients you've used are packed with nutrients and minerals known to help preserve healthy skin! Great job on your tutorial videos and I hope to see more in the future!

[@apriljoamy]

Wow. Really lovely. You did an awesome job of putting those two colors together. Simply beautiful.

[@bitababyszes]

Beautiful soap! I didn't know you could create 2 colors without that cardboard divider. You made it look so easy. You give me confidence to try.

[@bytheSEAsoaps]

Great video. Nice color and steady hand with your technique. Thank you.

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thank you. I haven't done an actual soap making video in a while, so it was nice to share :0)

I love your soap! That turned out just beautiful. Your videos are a pleasure to watch and you are very talented. Had to subscribe. I'm even more inspired to get back to my soap making after watching such talented soapers such as yourself on youtube. Keep up the great work and continued success!

[@marissar691]

You are SO talented and your videos have totally inspired me to move forward with making soap! Thank you! By the way, your website is amazing and all the soaps make my mouth water!

[@petalsbathboutique]

M Rodriguez Thanks so much! Good luck with soap making. It becomes very addictive ;0)

[@fabsnoble]

This was so informative! It's absolutely beautiful. I struggle with getting my mixture to stay thin long enough for me to swirl but I'm going to attempt it again after watching this video!

[@ShelitaRN]

Beautiful! thanks for sharing!

[@sandrawool5053]

beautiful!!!! thanks for sharing

[@ladyofak8584]

Your soap is so pretty.

[@Uavmom]

Beautiful!!

[@flickinggamer]

Leonarda loved this video!

[@paulorientetheluffaranch]

We like to do lavender and then put our soft luffa sponges inside the mold. Slice the bar and you have a nice exfoliating bar. We're growing these wonderful natural sponges commercially, and they're so different than what we find imported in the stores.

[@petalsbathboutique]

That's awesome! Do you sell your sponges on line?

[@paulorientetheluffaranch]

Yes, you can see them at www.luffaranch.com. We are sold out for the season. Harvest will be Sept/Oct. Drop us your e-mail on the website and we'll send out an announcement when the harvest is available for sale. Or, send us a direct message at [e-mail]

[@jerusalemslandofJesus]

thank you my friend...as a matter of fact today I made it and it is sooooooooo nice...thanks a lot...

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

[@sevenondice]

[@mamikenzo3594]

Waouu Nice one ... What is mold measurement please?

[@jerusalemslandofJesus]

Simply wonderful design.I am new in soaping so I would appreciate it if you could give the exact recipe and measurement.Thanks for sharing.

[@sonsarae7070]

Very nice! Thank you so much for sharing. :0)

[@petalsbathboutique]

Sonsa Rae Thank you for watching!

[@christinebowes2528]

I came across your channel and I love your soaps and how you mix your colours. I have 5 pound moulds that look like your moulds here. Can you tell me how you get your soap out. I've resorted to lining mine with cling film .

[@maryannmckinnon7936]

Amazing!

[@arlishaedwards4850]

Beautiful bars....where did you purchase your soap mold and about how many bars does it yield? Thanks for sharing!

[@RRMeo71]

Very nice video. Any information about from where to buy on live Lavender Essential oil?

[@petalsbathboutique]

Raza Rahim Thank you. If you do a Google search for "soap making essential oils suppliers" you'll get a list of reputable suppliers.

[@trebelclef]

very nice!

[@elisabethtyler9604]

I really liked your video and especially the swirl technic. Serious question: what type of colorant did you use? And a silly question: Are you a purple lover too? I just love your gloves and flower.

[@mirandar4608]

Your mold is awesome! was wondering if you could share where you got it? Thanks

[@petalsbathboutique]

Miranda R The Soap Hutch :0)

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thank you! I usually cut my soap within 24 hours of pouring.

[@petalsbathboutique]

Lol! I was holding my breath too! Especially in the beginning when the two colors started to mix on me. Thanks for watching :D

[@FeelingU99]

Nice job! Where did you get the mold?

[@gonzaarajulia]

Hola, muy bueno tu video, trató de entender porque no sé mucho inglés, pero por favor, me puedes compartir la receta para hacer este jabón y decirme como se guardan para el proceso de maduración ? , los míos quedan muy blandos y no puedo desmoldar , thanks !

[@a.clarke9291]

Looks great! How long does it take for the bars to become firm enough to cut?

[@irenelinney2972]

Such a beautiful video and beautiful soap. I don't have Palm oil can I replace it with Grapeseed oil? Please reply.

[@irenelinney2972]

You used palm oil In your soap. What can I replace palm oil with? please reply

[@petalsbathboutique]

I would try Crisco. It's an inexpensive alternative that makes a nice hard white bar of soap. If you're going to replace an oil I would recommend running your recipe through a soap calculator to get the new lye and water amounts. Use a 5% lye discount.@pages/Lye-Calculator.aspx

[@petalsbathboutique]

Grapeseed oil is more of a superfatting oil. The palm oil is to make a hard bar of soap, grapeseed is going to make a softer bar.

[@irenelinney2972]

what can I replace the palm oil with? what type of oil and how much? Same amount as palm oil?

[@petalsbathboutique]

Irene Linney I would try either Crisco or Lard OR you could just increase the Olive Oil & Coconut Oil each at half of the amount of Palm. Just increasing the amount of Olive could work too. Your bars may take longer to firm up, but in the end you'll still have a good hard bar of soap. Make sure to run the recipe through a lye calculator because replacing oils will often change the amount of lye that you're going to use.

[@blimprawr]

Do you recommend using tools that are separate from what you would prepare food with? Just out of curiosity! I'm hooked on this soap videos!

[@petalsbathboutique]

***** It's generally recommended that you do. Particularly for the lye/water mixture. It doesn't have to be anything expensive. Most of my mixing items came from the Dollar Store. Everything was $1. Thanks for watching!!

[@ashfaqashfaq8288]

[@craftlover9]

Lovely soap!! Do you mind me asking where you got your molds??

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thank you and not at all! My molds are made by Rich at the Soap hutch.

[@craftlover9]

Petals Bath Boutique Thank you!!

[@daphneydonegan5680]

What kind of soap mold is that. Did you make it or buy it. Never seen that one before. Love your soaps by the way. Great work.

[@petalsbathboutique]

It's an HDPE mold. I had it custom made by The Soap Hutch. Thanks for watching!

[@petalsbathboutique]

Yup, I saw Sergio's too. That's what made me decide to finally try the technique. His was much more complicated than this though! lol. xx

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thanks for watching! I'll do my best to make more videos. It can be a bit challenging with 3 little one's running around, lol

[@marissar691]

Hi I'm back! So I just ordered all of my soap making supplies and I was wondering... do you think the scent for my lavender soap won't be as good if I JUST use lavender? I ordered a bunch of essential oils (lemon, lilac, mint, rose, etc.), but none that you mentioned for this recipe except for lavender. Please help! Thank you. I never get tired of this video btw.

[@petalsbathboutique]

Aw, thanks. I'm glad it's helpful. Plain Lavender scented soap is just fine if you like that scent. You can even add the Lemon to it because Lavender & Lemon go together very nicely. Do you have any Patchouli? Just a tad bit of that would help ground the citrus. If you don't, it should still be okay though.

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thank you!

[@wanwenmui4737]

I LOVE IT

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thanks, lol. I love them too...purple :0)

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thanks! The pics of the cut soap are at the end of this video :0)

[@Joanne94087]

where can I buy the soap mold and the essential oil?

[@petalsbathboutique]

This was a demo showing this swirling technique but you can try "soapqueentv right here on YT for some great recipes. Ann-Marie actually does amazing tutorials on soap making from start to finish. Thanks so much for watching!

[@viragbodis8655]

How do you cut it? I make similar soap and after cutting the form is not similar.

[@petalsbathboutique]

Virág Bódis This was a shallow loaf, so what you see here is pretty much what the end result looked like. I measured the bars at 2.5 inches apart and sliced. That's it. The cut pics are at the end of this video.

[@jessicaluque4724]

I tried to make the same soap, but mine is totally different than yours, what am I doing wrong?? The texture has to be thin o thick maybe?? Thanks

[@nxdiuh]

How do you get such smooth bars? Every time I try my trace is too thick and my soap is lumpy on the top

[@petalsbathboutique]

+Nadi B A number of things could play a factor. You may be using a larger ratio of hard to soft oils in your recipe, you may be using oils that accelerate trace such as olive pomace, your fragrance oil may be contributing or you may just simply be mixing too long.

[@alexdevoe8501]

how did the bentonite clay work out?

[@petalsbathboutique]

Alexis Devoe The bentonite clay worked well. It's good for helping hold the scent when using EO's and gave the bars a nice "slip".

[@kikitheebarbarian3684]

How long do you usually cure the soaps for?

[@petalsbathboutique]

4 weeks minimum

[@danielprovost1]

how long do you wait to cut your bars?

[@petalsbathboutique]

Just under 24 hours.

[@aransom808]

How do you make the essential oils?

[@petalsbathboutique]

aransom808 I don't make the essential oils. There are many soap-making suppliers that sell them. If you do a Google search for "soap making essential oils suppliers" you'll get a list of reputable suppliers.

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thanks for watching :0)

[@bigboi71]

Wow!

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thanks Karen :0)

[@xochiltmartinez632]

I notice in alot of soap making videos, people tend to remove their gloves once the mixture 'traces'. Isn't the mixture still very caustic... or no?

[@petalsbathboutique]

Xochilt Martinez It is still caustic so it is important that you not get any on your skin. I use to remove my gloves because they were bulky rubber gloves and got in the way when I wanted to do intricate design techniques, but now I use medical exam gloves and no longer have that problem.

[@petalsbathboutique]

Thank you :0)

[@irenelinney2972]

I made the soap but it curdled. It didn't work. It thickened when I put in the fragrances. Can you tell me why? :( Sad. What a waste.

[@petalsbathboutique]

Did you use fragrance oil or essential oils? How thick was your trace? What temp were your soaping at? It may not be a waste just yet. As long as your measurements were correct, you can always rebatch.

[@irenelinney2972]

Thanks for the encouragement. You did write back. If I used fragrance instead of essential oils would that curdle the soap?

[@petalsbathboutique]

Irene Linney Some fragrance oils, particularly florals, will do what is called "ricing" in your soap batter. Usually you can use your stick blender to smooth it back out. If you take a look at my video for "Fling": Making "Fling" Handmade Soap ~ Petals Bath Boutique you'll see an example of ricing and how I was still able to work with it.

[@irenelinney2972]

I watched your "fling" video.It was very good. But once again there was no mention of the amount of oil you used. I thought this was important. Or is it not important to measure the amount. I don't think we just through any amount into a bowl do we? Im still learning.
