Thank youi for your video! The color you used was a beautiful pink. Can you please let me know the color used and where you purchased it? Thank you :-)
Thankyou for sharing your lovely work .Is the download still available for the recipe binder ? . I have tried several times but didn`t receive a download for the free binder or the Christmas one i recently purchased.
Hello, I don't know what is pickling salt or if we have that here in Brazil, could you tell me exactly what it is or if I can find any substitute for that? Thanks for sharing
I consented to receive emails because I wanted to print a recipe from the website. I was able to print one, and have been inundated with popups galore. The print link doesn't work, but pops up another page of the same. Great video, but avoid signing up. You will be spammed to distraction.

Is it possible to make bottled soap? Is it the same process? Is there anything that should be added in order for it to be bottled soap? Appreciate it❤️ thank u
I wanted to know if there is an ingredient I can use for people who have dry or sensitive skin (like eczema)? olive oil? Coconut oil? Aloe Vera? What is recommended when it comes to this? I really want to try soap making, but I need to know what material and the science behind gentler materials for everyone to use! Does anyone know about this stuff? Plz let me know! Appreciate it❤️Thank you!❤️
This recipe is fine except for the avocado oil, which I've found to be drying to the skin. I have replaced avocado oil entirely in my soaps with almond oil as the best solution. I also love mango butter and use it in all my soaps, but unless you have a thing against using animal products, I would suggest replacing palm oil with lard, as it is a much more sustainable oil that produces a very fine hard bar. Coconut and lard together make for a lather that is both bubbly and creamy. Coconut, lard, and mango butter make for a very hard bar that lasts a long time, and of course olive oil and almond oil make the bar very conditioning to the skin as well.
Oh goodness, I am so glad I found this video. I have spent the majority of my day trying to figure out how people come up with making their own soap recipes. I was so confused! Thank you so much for clearing this up for me. I’m a beginner so maker, but I’d love to try my hand at my own recipe. Play around a little bit maybe gain some experience !
Hi! I'm loving your channel. Can you tell me if the goat milk can be substituted for powdered coconut milk? Also, when it calls for coconut oil, is it coconut oil 76 from soap suppliers or another kind? Thanks🙂
Goodness, I can’t find any base oils like castor oil, coconut oil, palm oil or butters on their website! Where are they hiding them under?? When I search for coconut oil it takes me to the scented oils?? Please help??
What you have to keep in mind is that 100oz weighed has what's called a "specific gravity" depending upon the material. So to be a lot more accurate, you need to know, for example, how much would 100oz of oil weigh in cubic inches. It will be different for water, avocado oil, shea butter, etc. That way you could calculate based on the volume of your mold how much of each ingredient when combined will be required to fill the mold. Another way to look at it is that if you measure 100oz of water it probably will take up less volume than 100oz of oil.
I’m only one minute into the video but I loooooove that you talked about making decisions whether to get up early or stay up late with hubs! I do the latter and have felt so bad about not getting up early but when the marriage does well, everything does well!
