As a home soap maker looking to eventually sell publicly these types of videos are very important to learn how to do it right and what not to do. When a professional home soap maker of Anne Marie's caliber offers this type of advice I pay attention.

Truly enjoyed this. Good to see Anne-Marie in her element (educator/soap queen) and with such timely and helpful information in these belt-tightening times. Thanks Anne-Marie and Brambleberry 😊

I started making soap Because of you Anne !!! I don't need to look at labels anymore on soap bars. You freed me from the pain of trying to find a good soap brand. I can make my own now, it's so much better making it. Plus I love learning new things. Thank you so much for your time you put into these videos.

Great video. I am beginning the process of drafting up my soap label, this video has helped me tremendously. Many thanks

As a small independent soap maker, this is a great video for people looking to support businesses. I'm based in Europe, where labelling is done slightly differently but it's still a useful tool for potential customers to see.

THANK YOU for making this video. As a soap maker it did clarify a lot of questions I had about soap labeling and different kinds of soap on the market. I am planning on sharing this in hopes of educating everyone of what they’re putting on their skin ❤

I absolutely love your channel! Your videos have given me much more confidence. I will certainly remember your company when I start purchasing supplies. Royalty Soaps is how I heard of your company. Katie’s awesome! Thanks!

Why does no one call out that dr bronner's claims to be castile which is pure olive oil soap yet there are 5 other ingredients before olive oil? I've never understood that.

Thank you, Anne Marie. Love from Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

Thank you for this info. You've explained things that I have wondered about for years.

Hi Anne Marie! I love BB's videos and was wondering if you guys could make an in-depth guide on labeling, wrapping, and protecting the soaps for online stores :)

Hey bramble berry and team..... You guys are awesome ... Thanks for sharing this vedio ..seriously this vedio has answered million questions which were running in my mind as an soap artisian . I too create soap and I am seriously a big fan of you Annie. You have given us creator a very positive platform where you make us confident about what we do ❤️

I would like to have seen a brief discussion of the milling process. Some companies extract the glycerin and don't replace it, leading to a hard but less moisturizing bar.

This was definitely helpful to me as someone who is releasing her first line of soaps on Monday!

I love this video! Thank you for explaining the different types!

Great information, and definitely needed for small businesses just getting started or planning their business journey!!

This was very informative! Thank you.

Brilliant topic! I definitely learned so much, thank you!

Wow! I was just talking to my wife about labeling and bomb here is a video explaining everything.

A clarification on the order of ingredients - in the USA, ingredients need to be listed in quantity order, with two exceptions. 1. Ingredients that are used at less than 1% can be listed in any order. So, something used at 0.001% might be listed higher than something used at 0.95%. 2. Drugs (such as the anti-acne soap) need to have the exact percentage of the drug ingredient(s) listed. Everything else can be listed in any order. Other countries have different rules, so beware.

Hi. I was wondering 3 things: 1) do you have to put down sodium hydroxide on your label? I've read that since it's not in the finished product you do not need to list it. 2) can you put down on the label that your soap or scrub is exfoliating? 3) if not, can you put on a card what the additives in the soap can do? Example: sugar (or salt) have been found to exfoliate. Or, pine tar has shown to help with certain skin problems. Not pointing out eczema or anything in particular. Thank you.

Thanks for the trainings. When does some one need sodium silicate when making soap? 2. Is sodium silicate necessary when making soap? Especially in large quantities.

How does this work when labeling soap you made from a melt and pour base . Would you list the ingredients from the melt and pour base first ? Then your fragrance?

Thanks for the info. I think if the ingredients are in the same percentages, you can list them in alpha order.

I’ve read a lot of brand name soaps extract the glycerin thereby making the soap drying. Then use that glycerin in “moisturizer” products to cash in twice on you

Such a good video! Thank you!

You forgot to mention Glycerin. When commercial soaps are made, they use a hydrolizer to separate the oil into fatty acids and glycerin. Some of the glycerin is added back in, which is why it is listed as an ingredient, but the majority is sold. In artisan soaps, the glycerin is not removed…better bar of soap.

This is very interesting and informative!!

This is super helpful information. I assumed products like Dove CeraVe were soap.

So if it says it contains glycerin/vegetable glycerin does that show its a melt & pour soap or is the manufacturer adding glycerin to the soap batter with the other oils? And if they are adding glycerin why would they add that?

Hi can you tell me what Cain of wick can I use in a container of 4oz with a diameter of 3.3 inches?

Merhabalar güzel bilgileriniz için teşekkürler kasım ayına özel kampanyalarınız var mı?

My queen Teacher (soap queen )

Hi Anne, Could you pls help me with this doubt. You say that any soap made with surfactants are not called as Soap. Is the same applicable when we add NaoH , fragrance oil, Mica, citric acid etc.?

Anne quick question can the ph of soap be lowered?

Hey Anne thank you for the videos. So is it possible for me in Uganda to access your ingredients, if yes how?

Very informative video indeed

Very informative 🥰

When I had surgery, a few months ago, I was instructed to shower with Dial before I came to the hospital.

Is it allowed to not put NaOH on your label like the ladies shave bar made eith Goatsmilk?

Do you know any other surfactant used in bars than SODIUM COCOYL ISETHIONATE? It seems it the only surfactant in solid form available to make bars

The best traditional soap made with extra virgin oil In Greece!!I made it with 70-80% olive oil from kalamata city(the best in the world)!!!

Can someone please explain this to me? How can Cetaphil label their Gentle Cleansing Bar as being soap-free when it has sodium tallowate, sodium cocoate, sodium palm kernelate, and more? Here is the exact ingredient list taken from their website: Sodium Cocoyl lsethionate, Stearic Acid, Sodium Tallowate, Water, Sodium Isethionate, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Stearate, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, PEG-20, Masking Fragrance, Petrolatum, Sodium Isostearoyl Lactylate, Sucrose Cocoate, Titanium Dioxide, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate. May also contain Sodium Palm Kernelate

So, is soap made from Potassium Hydroxide still soap?

Is the goat milk soap doesn't state the lye in ingredients it sounds like they break regulations...

Can you explain sulfur soap please

شكرا جدا❤

Essential oils are often worse for your skin, just fyi. Just because it's considered natural doesn't mean it's good to use.

I use the soaps i make to fund my 501c3 cat rescue.

You and I know both know it’s impossible to have a goats milk soap bar with more goats milk than oils. Goats milk soap makers do this all the time and it’s so deceiving to the consumer
