I’m convinced that many of you commenting and complaining about this video are extremely slow. This video shows exactly what the title says- how to make melt and pour soap, and that’s exactly what I was expecting and that’s exactly what she did. Those who were expecting something else are daft.

@jordanvoges8924 5 лет назад

This is the process of melt and pour soap. You buy premade bases. You don't make the base that would be COLD PROCESS SOAP. Which involves lye. This is a good method for beginners or if you don't want to mess with lye water. The title is not misleading. This is how you make "melt and pour soap". She didn't say how to make melt and pour BASE

@jordanvoges8924 5 лет назад

@@christyleblanc1827 right but you don't have to have separate oils and a lye water solution on hand to make melt and pour soap. You can buy a premade base ie goats milk, olive oil, aloe etc and melt it, fragrance it and pour it

@angelaphoenix2587 4 года назад

great video! if I haven't a microwave, how can I melt the base?

@candlescience 4 года назад

You can melt the base in a double boiler setup on your stovetop. Fill a pot a little less than halfway with water, then put a glass or metal bowl on top of the pot. Cut up the base and put it in the bowl to melt.

@ericwatts8599 Год назад

Thank you for your video. Once the soap base has been taken out of the heat, how long does it need to cool off before adding the fragrance?

@candlescience Год назад

You can add dye and fragrance right away! The soap base will begin to cool very quickly so you can add fragrance when it is completely melted.

@laurentinaung5016 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for this super helpful tutorial Also let me know if it’s ok to add 1~2% Glycolic acid and glycerin to M&P soap making

@candlescience 6 месяцев назад

Hi! I'm so glad it was helpful! Melt and pour soap is also known as glycerin soap due to the high amount of glycerin it already contains. Technically, yes, you can add up to 1% of additional glycerin, but the bar may become sticky and bendable. You can definitely experiment but adding glycolic acid and glycerin may not be necessary.

@momojackandluke 5 лет назад

What are the settings on your microwave? As in watts. I tried making my first m&p soap, but my base ended up being very bubbly, once i stirred it :( It also didn't stay liquid and stuck to my spoon and sides of the bowl with the first stir....

@candlescience 5 лет назад

Our recommendations are based on a 1000 watt microwave, since the majority of microwaves people have in their homes range from 800-1200. If your wattage is outside that range, you'll just need to adjust the time a little bit. A bubbly base after stirring is very normal, so don't worry! It just sounds like you may have stirred a little too vigorously and whipped up some bubbles. Stirring slowly and gently will prevent bubbles from forming, and a few sprays of isopropyl alcohol will get rid of any existing bubbles.

@Roshninagawat 5 лет назад

Hi. Great video. Thank u so much. Just one question. Can i not cover the bowl with that plastic wrap while microwaving?? Is that mandatory??

@lakiyahbungie8634 5 лет назад

I wonder if that's to potentially avoid mess, like if the soap bubbles a bit in during the melting process; I'd hate to clean that out of a microwave XD

@traciejones3375 3 года назад

Question If I'm not doing a 2 layer, just regular size no color bars, is the ratio of fragrance per pound 1 oz? Ty':)

@candlescience 3 года назад

When using our fragrance oils for soap making, you will want to check the product page or the IFRA documents to see the recommended amount of fragrance oil for that particular scent. The usage can differ between fragrances and for this project, we used 1 oz of fragrance oil for 2 lbs of soap base.
