Those sponge look good in the white soap but imagine if the soap were a tropical ocean blue color. It would be like the sponges were still in the ocean.

[@juliebaker6969]

Especially in a clear glycerin soap.

[@huilesdecarlabathbeauty3044]

Totally! Nice touch:)

[@XiaVhani]

Vivian from New Jersey, USA. I've been watching over 8 years. I love the cutting & wrapping as well as the soap making videos. I never grow tired of it.

[@aipooalice]

Wow, this soap is so unique! 🤩 I regularly use sea sponge to cleanse my face or to remove the make up, I love it! They are so much better than the regular sponges. xx

[@marilynroberts6644]

iam a new follower from the states and i wanted to say thank you sincerely for such well put together videos. you are a delightful young lady and any soap maker can do well to keep learning from you. you have a wonderful ability to teach in a loving manner. merci !

Genius idea. I always use a facecloth to hold soap or shower gel while showering to prevent most of it from washing off down the drain. Love the idea of a built-in sponge.

[@cbpapp]

I have never been able to use any bar soap, no matter the hydration / moisturizing it boasts, without it stripping my skin of all natural oils. They look beautiful and this was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!

[@livinglife8333]

Perhaps try and fill the mold 3/4 way then add the sponges. It should soak up into the sponge then top off as needed.

[@huilesdecarlabathbeauty3044]

Yes I agree and a time saver, especially for larger orders.

[@roshneedukhande]

Next time u can try dipping them in the soap, let then soak and then alining in the mould, i do it this way.. It saves efforts of soaking them in mould... Beautiful sponges.. I shall surely try

[@sherrymorrow2517]

Beautifully done. I will now spend countless hours watching your videos!

[@jeangreenfield5993]

Wonder if you can farm sea sponges commercially ?

[@haleykins5091]

I love that you use biodegradable shrink wrap!

[@belmy0836]

Why use plastic at all? the chemicals that went into making that plastic are in the air and water. Seriously stop buying into biodegradable nonsense. It still harmed the environment in making them for an unnecessary item. Soap won’t go bad if you don’t shrink wrap them.

[@haleykins5091]

@@belmy0836 its more for selling purposes im sure. If she ships them she kind of needs to wrap them in something

[@buttermilkbaysoap9416]

Try emerging the sponges into the pot before the pour for a better saturation of soap. Lasts better in the shower.

[@nicolethomas1530]

They look fantastic. I tried melt and pour but found it difficult to get a lather 🤔

[@maddemadetv445]

[@MegaNelushka]

[@alypaints1]

Where did you get your mold?

[@Whois_.X]

Did you dry them completely, where did you get so many of them from and for how long if not completely did you let them dry before using

[@chosenone5453]

How long do you cure melt and pour

[@MommaBearsCorner]

Please, anyone who gets a knife like that, be CAREFUL. i have one and it will cut a scarf like a sword if you threw it over it. Can take a finger vs just cut it allittle. I do not allow anyone else to handle or even clean it. that is how dangerous they can be... her soaps always so pretty. surprised the sponge cuts so easily. thought she was going to have issue with that. looks great!

[@ArianeArsenault]

Any knife needs to be handled with care. Here is my tip, never sharpen that blade. I have had this knife for 16 years and by keeping the blade dull, it still cuts through soap like a charm but isn’t as sharp. Sponges are suer soft and offer no resistance to cut through

[@samanthashields7767]

What all different things can you add to melt and pour? Just ordered stuff to make a few bars for my home but didn’t know you could add stuff like honey!! Love this video have been watching for years

[@gaiagoddess8009]

You can add oils like coconut, almond, jojoba, avocado, honey - 1 Tbsp per pound of MP. You can add ground or semi-ground oatmeal when it's starting to thicken. You can add dried things like poppy seeds and lemon or orange peel - I use the ones you buy in the herb section of the grocery store. These last 4 are used as exfoliating ingredients, but you don't want to add too much.

[@christybrooks3729]

Be careful that you don’t add too much oils because they will sit on top and your soaps will be very oily because the saponification process is done so there is no lye to confer the extra oils to soap. It’s not recommended to add extra oils if you haven’t done it before.

[@HISIAM888RUHIS888]

@@gaiagoddess8009 Thank you Gaia!!💓💓😍 I Did Not Know this!! That’s exciting!! I thought additions were ONLY for CP or other techniques!! I’ve Never made Soap before.. but I’m inspired to try it!! Only with M & P though (it’s the safest)!! Thanks again for that information!! I’m Sure I’m not the Only One Happy about this!!🥰💓💓🙌🙌👍👍

[@gracelynnrosesoapsandmore969]

I have a question, do you personally re-melt your melt and pour if it gets to cool to pour or do you start over?

[@jenleduc5494]

Curious why you used M&P for this? Would it be too difficult with CP? Also, how long do you need to keep them wrapped for if I'm not selling but storing? I also cannot order from the link you provided for the tropical sea sponge seems to not deliver to Canada?

[@andrewrussell9757]

So did you let the soap cure? How long do you typically let it cure or you don't have to when using a melt and pour?

[@christybrooks3729]

brittiney griffin there is no cure time needed for melt and pour. The Saponification process has already been done in the base.

Gorgeous, wonderful art

[@belindajames6470]

What is the measurement of your mold?

[@Moonsunsky1]

Why do you double shrink wrap your mp soaps instead of using a sticker like label ? Aren’t you wasting more money using the shrink wrap

[@alyssatorres5897]

Moonsunsky1 I think it’s just for these kinds of soap. She mentions in the video that Melt and Pour soap can get ruined if exposed to moisture so sealing the soap first protects it if the second wrap (packaging) gets torn. Just how I make sense of it

[@Moonsunsky1]

I make mp soap for sale too and never once had the shrink wrap get torn. I think it’s just cost efficient to not do the second shrink wrap and used a label with adhesive

[@jillsarcasmo]

My sticker labels like to pull away from the shrink wrap regardless of the kind of labels I've used so sometimes I'll double wrap.

[@koseshie6762]

She didn't double shrink wrap.

What’s the point of this? You’d get less soap and it would end up crumbly and messy. soap is meant to make things clean!

[@ArianeArsenault]

Dana May perhaps you are wrong and there is plenty of soap in each bar. Sponges are not crumbly and messy and people have used them to clean for ages.
