Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

No I didn’t taste my cooked rose petals so I have no notes on that.

[@ElectricHound3000]

Are you sure? Because I definitely would have.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Honestly it was a missed opportunity that I didn’t pick up on until I was editing and realized they looked pretty tasty. 😂

[@suessoapcreations]

Deep fried rose petals... cool 😂. So... how many roses do I have to go and purchase, in order to murder them for science? Mine won't be blooming for months, yet 😉. Can't wait to see what we make. I'm dying to try and make a face serum.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Oh right I didn’t talk about that - I’ll make sure to do so tomorrow. I used three fresh roses per 16oz of everything that I did. Honestly because it’s an infusion, you can use way more and just keep adding the botanical matter to the oil as you use it or see fit. And in the case of rose, I think we would need to use a lot more than what I did to make a significant difference to the carrier oil. Remember when we did the dried rose petals in the lye water? I used 1/2 cup of dried rose petals in 18oz of lye solution and THAT soap was freaking epic with all the oil that was extracted, in addition to the rose water. And buying roses right now SUCKS - I bought a dozen for Mr’s bday yesterday and a bouquet that would cost me $20 in January was $50 in February. 😅

[@suessoapcreations]

$50 USD?? I shudder to think what this will cost me in CDN 😂

[@lasumrell]

If you were on an episode of 'chopped', you'd be a hero for those deep fried rose petal and cocoa extraction for being so creative. It would make a luxurious ice cream. I LOVE this educational video. I can't wait to try this with roses and rosemary. THANKS!

[@jobo8819]

This is such an interesting topic. Now I'm eyeballing all of my neighbors rose gardens with envy.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Ask them if you can have their rose hips when they prune! Or some roses themselves. For science.

[@jobo8819]

Yes lol, you encouraged me today and I did exactly that on my walkies about the neighborhood. Met some lovely peeps and got some trade deals underway. All in the name of Science of course. @@MrsSoapAndClay

[@wendyirving6530]

I love that you dont take yourself seriously all the time. Keep being your!! Haters gonna hate. I personally love your videos, so authentic

[@RisaL-13]

I made rose butter at the same time I made the coffee butter. It smells like burnt toast. Also, I need that shirt.

[@izibear4462]

I literally guffawed when I saw them frying. Thank you for the lol and for the interesting content, always.

[@bobbycorbitt961]

Love this video, love what you said about the Rose scents. I didn’t realize before starting to work with essential oils and fragrance oils that I had a hangup on certain scents that I inherited from my mother. She wasn’t a fan of Jasmine so I tend to overlook Jasmin since, and when it comes to roses, she associated roses with funerals so I tend to ignore Rose senses. I need to be more adventurous. Thanks for opening up my old olfactory to new things.

[@soapwol]

When I tell you, I have that *EXACT* same shirt. Not a variation, not one like it that says the same thing, this *exact* shirt. And this is why we are friends. ❤️

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Same brain. 🤪

[@vernaharris181]

I did have to laugh at the fried rose petals…personally, I would have panicked and buried my results in the backyard…but I think you proved that it could be done and with possibilities!

[@jamiegardella1251]

Same!

[@Charbythedesert]

Super cool experiment and as usual amazing content.

[@TracyD2]

I wish I could find rosés without pesticides and herbicides. Perhaps I’ll grow some this year.

[@vanessarudick7707]

I love your screw-ups….don’t stop your methods because you have a soap sister here, because I am usually thinking about doing exactly what you are doing. I am proud of you. Damn the nay -sayers…..they aren’t paying for your raw materials. I just love the things you try, because raw materials are very expensive. Tell to put it where the sun don’t shine.

[@eileengraham2997]

Now i cant wait for winter to be over and All my roses/lavender to start coming to life

[@peepla7]

You crack me! ...now where can i get that shirt? I could have used it for the soap i made today. Hahaha

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Oof one of those days all around. 😅

[@lifewithamberb]

Can we talk about how your lip color is on point! 😍😍🔥

[@ineedacorkscrew]

Hey! I’ve been away for a while (crazy new job) but I LOVE THE INTRO!!!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Thanks! Hope the job has been going well!

[@dcj7368]

Rose geranium EO is a good alternative

[@CandaceJensen-iq7vx]

So I’m curious why the rose petals were fresh for the oil infusion???

[@emilyporter1186]

They tend to have more oil and fragrance than dried ones

[@jamiegardella1251]

Lmao, I love you!!😅

[@Mothermoonartisansoap]

How would you list the ingredient? Rose petal infused cocoa butter?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! I’d go with cocoa butter, rose oil.

[@Mothermoonartisansoap]

Or would the rose be listed separately in the 5% and below part of the ingredient list?

[@Mothermoonartisansoap]

​@@MrsSoapAndClayMakes since, thank you

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

@Mothermoonartisansoap I suppose it depends on what you’re making. If you’re making a bath bomb and including this cocoa butter, then the cocoa and rose both fall well below the amounts of baking soda, etc. If you’re making a soap or lotion that has high amounts of the infusion you’ve used, then it would fall higher than your scent or colorants or the like.

[@schellsc]

Lol looks like you deep fried those rose petals! Are they edible or poisonous hmm 😄. Gotta wait until spring when my roses bloom. OT I was watching someone on IG, I want to say Sara Beeny, talk about how to prune rose bushes.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Well when you prune yours, try frying some. Totally edible!

[@CandaceJensen-iq7vx]

When roses are out of season where I am, I order organic dried rose petals online. I’ve always used dried when I extract anything in oils, I figure I don’t want moisture fighting with the oils in it. That’s why I asked why the fresh roses? Am I missing something?

[@CandaceJensen-iq7vx]

Are there a lot of mean people commenting on your videos? I’ve not seen any, but I’m relatively new. I did get attacked for one comment I made on one of your videos but I thought it was hilarious because she turned around and did the very thing she was accusing me of doing lol 😂 I thought it was a riot! Bless all the mean people’s cotton socks 😂

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Nope, dried roses work as well! I didn’t have any dried and we’ve done that before so I was being different. We will talk about dried vs fresh more this week.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

People come out of the woodwork when I do something wrong. 😜

[@CandaceJensen-iq7vx]

That’s probably because you are such an intelligent woman who knows so much about these things. Mean people can’t resist trying to knock someone down to their level of misery when they see someone doing so well and being so happy like you are. That’s why I really feel sorry for them. They must be truly sad people who spread that kind of misery around like that. I think you’re awesome! Don’t let them get to you ❤️

[@jamiegardella1251]

What she said!!

[@jamiegardella1251]

Did the fried roses smell bad??

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Smelled like chocolate. Made me want to eat them.

[@karenem7489]

I fried my lavender the first time I tried to infuse it with oil. It smelled really bad 🤢

[@kris10tackles]

😂”you don’t go here” ☠️

[@danielt4449]

mean mean mean mean mean mean mean there I did it for all the others so you don't have to read it all

[@jamiegardella1251]

Prefect Daniel!

[@emilyporter1186]

To clarify, if using for herbalism or specific medicinal properties, extracts are not the same as essential oils which need to be diluted properly in a carrier oil :)

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! Technically essential oils and extracts are not the same thing at all, as we created these extracts within a carrier. Do they contain the extractable components found within rose? Yes. Diluted.

[@Romantico1962]

We dont have a degree in science, but i go by common sense. If we fry the roses, you are not getting anything benefits at all, not even the fragrance, so to do that right, you have to be gentle with the process so adding few petals with oils and then extract the oil just like that is the same as not getting anything, you must leave the petals with the oils for weeks or month to get the benefits of the flowers or herbs. In my opinion, i respect what you are doing wrong or right, but I am learning and watching videos of people who have years doing infusion, essential oils, and all that the right way.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! I mean, that’s awesome. I don’t think the burnt petals were good; I like showing my fails to people so they don’t do the same or they can have a giggle. That said, I looked up cooked rose petals and apparently they’re edible and nutritional benefits exist after high heat. So there is that.
