Thank you such a great idea and very inexpensive

do you have a receipe for this one? wanting to try it..

ive had grapeseed oil go rancid and it wasnt even open.

Well these are creative tools none the less. BTW you have a couple thousand dollars in those drawers 😳. I find candle making is easier than soap making but I’d love to get back to soap making. Also, you can create scented room sprays, red diffusers, and fragrance you own home made cleaners. For example, make a hard surface cleaner from liquid potassium soap, a little borax and add some lavender oil. If it doesn’t dissolve you can use dipropylene glycol to get the fragrance to mix.

Make tags for those types of soaps

You’re preaching to me in 2024🙌🏽

Coco powder

Hi... How do you get the soap in the small molds to come out so smoothly? And not rough looking.... Cause coming out of there they are tacky

Thank you

Make scent rollers

Nice! Beautiful with the creamy center. ❤👍oh by the way, would love to hear a bit more specifically about your new career in teacher, the how, why and what’s about your journey. I think this topic would be a good way to drive more traffic to your channel sort of as a another layer to your offerings. Thanks for sharing.

Remelt it and remold it cut sooner

Thank you i was startingto buy essentual oils but dant have as much as you have so youve given me something to think about

I enjoy the short, informative videos. I'm just starting out and had my first loaf in the mold. I googled how to remove and how to cut and I got you!

Wow, you’re still making soap! Good for you!

Christine, this was a really helpful video, thank you. My parents were children in south Wales in WW2 and I think they must have feared running out of things as they always had spares in store. I am the same and was very tempted by the huge choice of molds but you have helped me to realise that I don't need more than I actually plan to make. Plus soap making will only be a hobby for me, not a business.

I know this is an old video but if you have good-smelling scents that people do not want in soap, make shower steamers. People do not soak in them and they are really popular.

All too frozen to remove from mold.

Glad I looked for this video to see you cutting the purple clay soap. Mine are unscented, so no color change from fragrance, and I don't let the bars go through gel phase so they are close to white. The purple clay at 1 tbsp ppo barely made a color change. Oh well!!

You used 4 tbsp of purple clay, how many pounds of oil? I have the same purple clay and the first time I used 1 tsp ppo, and the second time I used 1 tbsp ppo. Turned out pretty light too. Also, I mix my clay with the lye water first, then add all that to the oils.

Do the fragrance oils stick to the body or are they just pleasurable when showering

Good luck with your new endeavors. ❤️

Hi, I was looking for a video on how to use rancid oils for soapmaking. Is it possible to make Castile soap with rancid oils? Thanks for the video!

This happened twice with my tallow soap. I'm heart broken because tallow is expensive and I used Brazilian clay and expensive organic oils... I don't know why this happens. Because my 3 other batches went great 🥺

Thanks I will stop! Because I just started CP soap and I’ve been over spending and I haven’t even sold my first soap 😕

omg im laughing so much at the end.. this is exactly how I am feeling after trying to cut my castile salt bar

Even though u made this video 3 years ago it is one of the most RELEVANT BUSINESS ADVICE. ......GREAT VIDEO

oh my goodness. that is a lovely green! You added 4 Tbsp of green clay in how much soap? Love it

Thank you 🙏🙏

Thanks for this advice. Im willing to buy some fragrances or oils from you. Im just starting off.

So you don’t show how they turned out?

Oh my I found you have already done it. Sorry you popped up on my screen today re moulds. I’ve decided I have enough and won’t buy anymore having listened until I use all up. So big big thankyou.

I’m relatively new and because older just wanted to make soaps for us, family and friends, that was my plan.......ha I’m already thinking could I start a small business.......doubt I’ll get there but the thought keeps churning. In Aus we don’t from my experience have moulds that cheapLy, just as well because I’m a little like you not to that extent but like I said I’m new.so this has brought me up fast. I agree the rectangle is the preferred shape, it’s what we mainly see at markets, stores etc. I have the six floral type easy to use and I thought pretty and just bought two single owl moulds quite expensive , having seen on one of my favourite KZfaq channels, but that’s for my grandchildren. This is such good advice. I like the six individual rectangle mould for special soap I bought before I had a soap cutter. Now I have a single cutter and slab cutter the latter probably not necessary in my case, my splurge and taught me a big lesson to not order when tired. But I do have a few which are not practical bought from seeing someone using on KZfaq. I realise that the log for me works best. Thank you. I hope you do one on essential and fragrance oils. My initial intent was to not use any, but essential oil is so expensive I already have purchased a few fragrance oils too.

ok so how about along with mentioning what doesn't sell but what does sell in addition to lemongrass scent. That would be helpful

Is it me or is the background doing the wave

Thank you for being so honest. When I start soap making I will be armed with great advice. 😇

Oh, also, ugly soap sells awesome, add a scratch and dent section to your website and add them at a silly discount And they sell out like fire

Great, honest video about me 😂 Thankfully I learned quick to make a standard bar with cool but simple to execute swirls. Visual 100% is the first reason a customer gains interest, then scents then reviews. Get those 3 in order and success is unavoidable.

Thanks for this video. I literally had about 15 novelty molds in my amazon cart lol. I am new to soap making, and I have been finding myself wanting to buy everything. This helps.

Thank you Christine.. I'm a new soap maker & have been having these thoughts.. So you helped me to clarify a few things👍🏼💕

the problem is that soaping stuff is only available online. You cant really know what you are buying and you end up buying stuff you either cant use or are dissatisfied with. that goes for everything from molds to fragrance. Sometimes the amount you have to buy is more than you want. I dont need a full pound of X. I just need a few ounces, but I have to buy a pound. Also, I just bought some molds from amazon - i only wanted one but had to buy 3.

Thank you so much for the candid video!! Very useful advice. ❤️

The busy witness intraorally itch because pruner functionally soak via a frightened frightening full fumbling functional bite. oval, tame swordfish

Is it because of using full amount of water in your recipe?

You can re-sell them.

I have a question if I was going to do 2.25 oz of lye how much water would I need just curious thank you

I love these long videos! Thank you!

OMG I am so happy I found this, wish I did 6 months ago. You are being honest and true. Thanks so much! Big hugs 🤗❤️

Thank you for your advice . I've just started my soap making on new years day and now I will definitely make sure I don't get carried away! I'm sticking to no colours , essential oils only , simple vegetarian soap and will remind myself of my goals :) Thanks
