Lilac Soap - Cold Process Soapmaking | MO River Soap 

Happy soapy morning! Beautiful soap 🧼 and I just wanted to mention it’s your Chanel darlin’ say whatever you want 🥰 I work in medicine we say M-L’s all the time. 😉

2:26 in Europe we use ml wich means mililiters but we can say ML, it’s easier and everyone understands perfectly. I prefer ml cause it’s the universal measure of liquids. As grams is universal measure for weight. When i have a recipe in ounces; inches; pounds; that is confusing. But saying ML is trully correct cause it’s exacly what it says on the jug.

You are so passionate when it comes to this, and everything always comes out beautiful. Thank you for your uploads.

I'm so jealous of your beautiful flowers our daffodils just started flowering. I just want to say, I'm so glad you are back. I really enjoy your videos and missed you.

I love all florals Lilac is beautiful. The perfect colours Holly thank you.😊

I too love lilac, you just talking I could smell it from the old memory bank. Your soap is so pretty, love it. Thanks Holly.

isn't it funny how scents from your childhood make you feel. We had a Peony Bush in front if our house as a child, it came from my grand parents farm, when I moved out I dug a piece of it out and have planted s piece of it everywhere we have lived (military family) so that peony is now all across Canada 😂

Lilac is my favorite flower scent as well, with Lilly of the Valley coming in a close second. You mentioned the designs for the tops of your soaps, and I must say that I prefer a soap with a more minimalistic design on the top. I see some soap makers put a lot of effort in building up the tops of their soaps with piping bags and protruding embeds (and sometimes with non-soap items like paper straws and such), and although they may have an initial visual appeal, it seems to me that they would be a little awkward to handle. I like your wavy top designs and low profile embed designs because it keeps the bar rectangular and easier to use. Maybe it's because I'm a guy, but I don't need that tower of soap and embeds piled up on the top. I see your designs as being more practical and more user friendly. You're a talented soap maker and you do a lot with color and low profile embeds, like holly leaves, stars, soap balls & cubes, pumpkins, leaves, shreds, glitter, etc... Sometimes I watch other soap makers piling things on the tops of their soaps and I say, "Why? Why are you doing that? You don't need all that. Stop! Wait, you're piping another layer?" 😂 I admit that some of them look quite nice, and if I was buying those soaps strictly based on eye appeal, that would be fine, but I prefer to purchase and use a bar that fits in my hand nicely. I guess that's the long winded way of saying that I like your soap designs, where the eye appeal is inside the soap (colors, designs, and embeds) and in the swirls and low profile embeds you place on top. 🙂

I wish postage wasn’t so expensive to Australia,lilac is my favourite flower.Love LOVE you and your videos,you have a soothing voice xo.

Holly, I absolutely LOVE watching you (and I love your voice). You are so down to earth and never seem pretentious. I find myself going to be well past midnight on work nights but you are so creative. One thing I would love to share with you. We live in a world that will always have nasty people who have nothing better to do than criticize. I hope you take it with a grain of salt, or simply ignore it. That is one thing that can bring a person's spirit down and it's just not worth an ounce of your energy. Keep going what you are doing, keep being successful and keep being real. We love you. Cathi

Such gorgeous colors! My Lilac riced terribly😖. Yours looks so pretty. Love your channel. It’s always such a pleasant, relaxing experience!

These look beautiful, thank you for sharing. Happy Spring Holy!💗Tulips and daffodils were beautiful this year.

I'd love to smell that scent, I have to say that lilac isn't a popular scent here in the UK, but maybe I'll change that! haha I'm sad for your daffodils, I live in North Wales and for pretty much the whole of March, there are daffodils everywhere you look-it's the national flower of Wales. The breeze smells amazing :) Once I get my recipe sorted, I'm going to make daffodil scented soap! I'll see if I can find a lilac fragrance oil and try that too. Thanks for your videos, you've no idea how excited I am each time I see a new video up. I'm pleased you are having fun again xx

It’s wonderful to hear your excitement talking about your home state. Glad you have such good memories!

I just wanted to say that I have been watching you on & off for quite awhile now. & this is the 1st time I found myself scrolling through your comments. Lol felt very odd for some reason; You are the only youtuber I havnt actively read or even thought about commenting on.... I don't know why lol. But I've always just been a silent watcher, enjoying, & living vicariously in the process. Lol. this is nothing negative twords you or your videos, I love them & your awesome! Comments just never occurred to me with your videos..🤷‍♀️ So, here's to my very 1st comment 🥂 in... approximately 3 years. (I think) Lmao

Beautiful! 😄

Yes, I'm glad you mentioned the change in FO percentage rates. I did notice that they've changed, I thought I was bugging out but I guess not.

Beautiful!!

It's so beautiful!

OMG... those are perfect, Holly! Absolutely gorgeous! I can almost smell the lilac through the screen!

Beautiful

Beautiful Holly!💛

Very pretty! Thank you for sharing

Beautiful soap

Lilac is my favorite scent! Beautiful! 💜💜💜

Love lilac, Holly😊

Hi Holly love this lilac soap ,Love all your video's x

"Burp the stick blender"! I giggled so hard! I love your commentary 🤣 one of my favorites

Love it

I love watching you make soap. I absolutely love lilacs but unfortunately can’t grow them here in Florida. I agree with Catherine Jakeman, it’s your channel, call it what you want to call it.🌸🌸💜💜💜

Came out beautiful 🤩

Lilac is the best! My huge lilac bushes in front of the house are just about to open up! Very early for this time of year. I want to try to make soap like this, too! 💟

Always a pleasure to watch you work , you are an inspiration, I am aspiring soap maker

Your soap is beautiful. I love lilac too and I have lilac in our garden. They so fragrant ❤️

Lilac is one of my fave colours🥰🥰🥰

Hey Holly, that's absolutely beautiful soap, I loved watching you texture the wet soap! 💟

I love watching you make soap it looks so easy but it's not & your so spotless when your doing it too that's not easy either !keep up the good work we enjoy it

Just received my order and this Lilac soap smells SO good.. like spring freshness. I can’t wait to use this beautiful bar!!

My absolute favorite flower too! I just ordered this fragrance! So glad it worked so well in CP Soap!!

Beathful ❤️❤️

Holly, you can say M-L, mils, or cc's when you're talking about milliliters. It's quite alright either way! I've worked in a lab and I work as a CNA so I have heard all three used. 😀

So fun to watch and listen. We still have frozen ground and snow banks up north. Happy day Holly!

Lilac is one of my favorite scents and definitely overlooked in cold progress soap making so this excites me🤗Can't wait to make an order!!

Oh yes, the grapefruit is nice too!

Don't you just love soap making?! Have a blessed day/night you guys!

I love my dahilia's xx

So nice! 8D

I absolutely love lilacs! I grew up in Johnson County, KS, and when I was a little girl my piano teacher and neighbor who lived across the street had a couple of lilacs that were as tall as their split level home. My mother and I would linger there after my lessons with our faces in the flowers 😊 Thanks for the reminder of that memory!!! I'm in a small PNW apartment these days, so no gardening for me at the moment. As always, I love your video and your soaps. The rosemary orange carrot I bought a while back might just be my favorite soap ever. Thanks for all you do, Holly!

Hi Holly! Loved this video! I'm from Kalispell...on the North end of Flathead Lake, so I loved hearing you talk about the gorgeous, monster Lilac bushes! They do grow like wildfire here💜 Cannot wait to make this soap again...smells divine! Happy soaping!

I put dryed Lilac flowers on top of mine. Love Lilacs💜

Pow Pow Purple definitely packs a punch, that bottom layer is beautiful. I did laugh when you mentioned the daffoilds 😆 I have basil, carrot, snapdragon and delphinium seeds to plant. We have two Budleia bushes we've planted, we gave the taller one a bit of a trim end of last year to encourage it and it's worked, it has the gorgeous deep wine coloured flower clusters and smells gorgeous.

I make flower bombs I took 20 pkgs of seeda- combined them in the bombs ...We will see! Glad your still in business! Nice soaps as usual!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors of this one Holly! We moved to Kansas in Nov, so this is our first Spring on our little farm. So far there's Daffodils, the redbuds are gorgeous, and we've started our veggie garden with onions, garlic, potatoes, asparagus, squash, etc. We have a separate area for the herb garden and we're very excited to see what we can grow... provided the deer, rabbit, chickens, etc., stay out of it all! LOL

Love Lilacs it looks awesome 🟣💜 I made a Lilac soap and I dried Lilac Flowers and I put them on top and made some Light Purple Salt.

Hi Holly! Lilac soap is one of my favorites and I love the smell of lilacs in the garden. Our big lilac got struck last fall by lightning, so we'll need to replace it. I'm in the process of making a little herb garden in our side yard. We use a lot of basil. oregano, chives and such. I'm also looking to put 3 tomatoe plants with the herbs. My Schriener's Iris catalog came Monday and I'm already picking and choosing. Although they can't be planted till fall. We have about 16 different colors now, but I've beenadicted for years, so, I order new stock every other year. I need some more Lilly bulbs, but if I don't get it done this week it'll be to late! So, those are the garden plans. Glad to see your enjoying the process while making soap. I love to watch the pouring of soap myself! Have a wonderful weekend! Jill Gross

Beautiful! I had a lilac blossoms fragrance from Cierra candles that behaved beautifully and it's a spot on lilac, it's beautiful ❤️

That's cool that you used to live in Belton, I live in Grandview right at the edge of Cass County line. There are a lot of lilacs in my neighborhood. I have one by my bedroom window that's taller than my (single story) house. It doesn't produce a ton of flowers but I can still sometimes sit next to my open window this time of year and if the breeze is just right I can smell the lilac blooms. I also have a nice big bush in my front yard that isn't as tall but it produces lots of blooms. I think lilacs are my favorite flower as well ☺️

Love it! You should make your own Montana blend! Your description of the lilac, pine and lake was lovely! I bet it would smell amazing!

The 3000 mark is quite OK Holly!! 👍 These soaps are fabulous!! Purple is my favourite colour too! 😉

Hi Holly, I like more lilac than lavender scented items. This is something I would go for in a heartbeat plus the color purple💜 I'm just in love with it💜💜💖💖.

👏👏

Lilac has never riced or excelerated i love that fragrance

😍

Holly, that for sure doesn’t looks like lilac. I made a lilac soap last year and was a huge fight with the acceleration. Beautiful as always.

I recently made a purple soap...only one of the 3 purples I used stayed purple. I thought I had added more than enough to keep the darker colors true to the idea I had in mind, but the slight discoloration from my FO and the general fickle nature of purples got the best of me. 😅 They turned into two different shades of ugly grey, so instead of trying to rebatch it, I just made it into laundry soap.

Beautiful soap as usual, I made lilac soap last night it smells beautiful but wow did it accelerate.

ML is milliliters :) Great job Holly! Beautiful soap….

Hey! Holly....how beautiful this is 😍. Have you heard of the old English tradition of it's unlucky to bring cut Lilac into the home? It's linked to fairies .....they could be those magic fairies that do all the chores eh!!! 😅💜

Beautiful batch!! Haha it’s funny listening to you talk about your kids like “oh they sound sweet!” Only to remember we are the same age 😭

I too love lilacs they grew wild everywhere in Virginia were i was raised. They are so beautiful but I couldn't plant them in my yard because I'm allergic to them lol. They make me sneeze so badly. Go figure pollen doesn't bother me but beautiful lilacs do 😥

Beautiful colors! I love lilacs as well but they don’t do so well in Texas:(.

they are so pretty. Fun fact, the Daffodil is the national flower of Wales!

So beautiful just loved it. Can you pls tell me what scale you use, I bought one, and got it to small. Ty so much for sharing.

Maybe you could blend lilac, pine and and watery fragrances together and call it Summer in Montana. And if it doesn't blend well, there's always layering.

Lovely as always Holly. If possible, could you do a video on how to make thumbnails? They are always nice.

I don’t have an issue with Lilac. Honeysuckle…I’m hoping that the third time will be the charm.

❤️❤️❤️ "Mills". I was just thinking, "She hasn't said it since I mentioned it." And I felt so bad!

Hi Holly, love your soap! I just made lilac soap recently and love it!!! probably my favourite now :) Could you please tell me what size batch you made? I'm looking at going for a bigger mold but not sure what size to get.

You're reading my mind for a floral soap!!! I'm making a hyacinth soap today. Inspired by the second season of Bridgerton!! My fragrance oil is Wild Hyacinth by Mad Oils 😏 I'm also in Arizona and I'm gardening for the first time this year. I have some tomato plants, zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, corn, okra, beets, radish, honeydew, watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumbers! I'm also trying to grow the roselle hibiscus so I can harvest it for teas.

Just found your channel love it!!! Where can the products be purchased to make the soaps. I’m wanting to make soap, scrubs, and body butters for my family? Your channel is amazing

Do you mind if I ask what is the width of your wires. Beautiful colors on that soap ❤

ML is for milliliters))

Lilac is my favorite flower. I've never seen it here in the deep south but I remember walking down a whole block where I grew up and it smelled so wonderful. Where did you get this scent from?

Do you mind if I ask, what ratio you use to make your TD and how much you use per pound of soap, I can’t seem to get my soap to get whit even though I use 1 to 2 ratio, can never get a good white soap even with non discoloring fragrance. Thank you ❤

Hi Holly, I bought a bar of your Lilac soap and I have to say it's very light scent, it smells just like a Lilac bush 🥰. My mom had one and it was her favorite flower and I love them too. Thank you for such a lovely soap, now I have to get some of that scent lol, but the bad part is the bees like it too lol, they think I'm a Lilac flower and I don't like being chased by bees, so I'll save it for winter. BTW, how do you get your soaps so smooth and silky feeling? I use a planer on mine too, but they don't come out as nice as yours, do you use a steamer?

Are you going to reupload your whipped sugar scrub videos? Like the frosted cherry one?

I love lilacs. Not a fan of lavender. It chokes me up. One of my favorite candles was a lilac scent from one of the home decor party companies… can’t remember which one but they’re no longer in business 😞

Lilac is one of my most favorite. Unfortunately the real flower is one of the few I’m allergic to. I refuse to cut down the bush by my bedroom window.

I have such bad luck with florals in general but I’ve always had bad luck with lilac which makes me very sad, where is this lilac from and would you recommend it? The scent doesn’t morph?

Saludos desde Venezuela, por favor pudiera decir el recipe, gracias. Sus trabajos son admirables

Did I miss it..? Where did you Holly get the Lilac fragrance?

Could you please make your COCONUT BANANA Soap video soon?Liliac is beautiful

Are you discontinuing whipped soap?

I just harvested lilacs there's so many...I'm not sure what to do w all of them

What’s the most milk you can put in soaps?😊

Do you use anti rancidity and what are the anti rancidity that you use? Greetings to you ❤

Do you have the recipes for your beautiful soaps? Thanks Cheryl in Texas.

We still have frozen morning windshields here 🤯

Lilac smells like an allergy attack!!

Can you go back to calling it “lye crunchies” 😅 there’s something satisfying about you saying “lye crunchies” 😂❤️
