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.

Hello! Can't wait to try this recipe! Never made melt & pour from scratch. Can you please tell me when you would add fragrance oil?

@MrsSoapAndClay 6 ай бұрын

Hey! Fragrance added at the end, and no adjustments to the formulation. The reason for this is that fragrance is not part of the chemical composition of the soap, so including it or not won’t change the final outcome. Have fun!

I love all of your videos you are always so helpful , and being new to soaping I feel that your platform is super helpful to a novice to professional. I tried your white melt and pour soap base this weekend and made my first batch. I was so excited it looked exactly like yours it was a win, unfortunately after leaving in the mold for 24 hours I cut it. A little sticky but not a deal breaker, the next day it was so slippery it would literally slip out of my hand. I followed the recipe with no variations so not sure where I went wrong. I live in the deep south with super high humidity. I have placed it in curing area with fan and dehumidifier hoping it will help. So should I lessen the amount of glycerin in the future. I know it operator error it has to be any insights would be really appreciated.

Hey! High humidity environments can for sure lead to stickier bars. You can decrease the glycerin in the future, or remelt and add clays and/or stearic acid to the existing batch and see if you like it better!

You can sub out the oils and butters, and really the wax - almost any recipe can be turned into a m&p base, though I do recommend more solid oils and butters than liquid.

@MELVINKI Жыл бұрын

Hi Soap n Clay . I wanted to mention that I made the base yesterday. One problem was that I had some small places of soap that they had not disolved and the texture was lil bumpy. I poured in my form the same like yours lefted in room Temp to cool ( my place is 23c temp ) and today at 1pm I unmolde it. Well it was sticky in the touch. I cut it and was nice inside. I melt some to make two Soaps to try it. The tiny pieces of soap from the beginning did not disappear. Also the soap when it cooled off is sticky. But as a soap it lathers great and cleans wonderful. Where did I go wrong? I forgot to mention... I used candelilla wax not beeswax

@MrsSoapAndClay Жыл бұрын

So it’s really important that the bits of soap have an opportunity to fully dissolve in the solvents; this is what disrupts that “crystalline structure” that soapers love to talk about and allows the soap to be remeltable. It’s only a cosmetic issue however, as it’s still soap. To the sticky bit, let it sit for a few days in open air and lose some water and it should resolve itself.

@MELVINKI Жыл бұрын

@@MrsSoapAndClay thank you so much. I thought maybe the stickiness is cos I have high temp in my place .I'll do as you say n will report back. Also I must report that without the beeswax is way softer .

How do I know how much glycerin to add? Loved your video.

@HandcraftedByMichele_Woody 10 ай бұрын

@MrsSoap&Clay will correct me (please do) if I misspeak but she mentions that the solvents (glycerin) will be 100% of your total oil weight (timestamp, 4:00 to 4:10). However, I'm not sure if she figures the 'wax' in with the oil weight. I'm thinking, yes, because the wax is listed along with the butter/oils (timestamp, 3:42-4:03). With that said, later, Mrs. Soap & Clay states to use your solvent at anywhere from 75%-100% of the total oil weights of your recipe (timestamp, 10:29-11:00) AND at 10:52 the amount between the 75-100% is stated to be pure personal preference. Running the math: 25.4 oz of oils/wax x 79% = 20 oz of glycerin (rounded down from 20..066 oz). I hope this helps.....and I hope I've understood everything in this WONDERFUL video correctly. Thanks so much, @MrsSoap&Clay!!
