I swear Joanna, the next time I’m n Arizona, I want to stock up on your gorgeous soaps! And meet you and your hubby! It seems that most soapmakers today are working awfully hard to come up with new and innovative ideas for soaps. And then it is one and done. And you never see that lovely soap again. You can’t buy it anywhere at any price. You have a number of fantastic soaps that you continue to make, and that is wonderful! That means that you can find it again once you run out! Please keep up the great work!

Your video showed up on my feed as a recommended video. I must say, I have never seen a small business soaper make that large of a batch of soap! Personally, I was fascinated. For my business that is like a lifetime supply of lavender (probably). I enjoyed your personality, your energy and your techniques. I am sorry you lost all that product. I would have cried for days. I have subscribed and will be following, so please do another video soon!

Hi Joanna my first time to your channel and have to say I have never seen anyone make such a huge batch of soap I was blown away. I loved it though, and I have a couple questions? One is if you poor all your water in with your oils what do you use to mix with your lye? Another question is how do you keep your lavender from turning brown and looking gross inside your soap? Everytime I have done that it turns brown and looks really ugly. Whats your secret? TFS and God Bless You And Your Family.

Thank you for watching, I use ice (water) to make my Lye a 50/50 Solution and that is the extra liquid I need. My lavender does oxidize but the Matte lavender pigment help it not look so bad. I hope you have a very blessed day, and Happy Soaping!!!

With the 50/50 Lye Solution I typically use a water discount. You can see a base recipe here: makesy.com/blogs/news/how-to-make-cold-process-soap

Thank you so much for ur reply mam. I saw ur base receipe mam, ur using 50/50lye solution, that is clearly understood but other than that by which ratio u follow without discount, i cant understand that. In short, i m in humid climate in South India, i dnt know which ratio is correct, whether it's 1:1.5 or 1:2 lye:water.. simply some take 1:2.5 , so want to know which is ideal.. kindly pls share..

I am not Joanna, but I know a bit about SM3 (I founded the Facebook sorry group). He is considering trying to port to Mac, it's the biggest request he gets, but he is a one man site and he's most familiar with Windows. In the meantime many buy a cheap windows laptop just for SM3. It's well worth the investment.
