I'm so grateful that I get to occasionally work with brands I actually like to create sponsored videos. Their direct support helps keep this channel afloat in the ever unstable world of UA-cam ad revenue. These videos will always be disclosed, of course, and I appreciate everyone's kind support for these partnerships. Royalty Soaps also participates in commission or discount affiliations, like Amazon or RewardStyle, as these opportunities become available, like Amazon and RewardStyle and while the money we make with these links isn't much, every little bit counts and once again, we really appreciate your support! These products will always be marked and disclosed with a "✦".

THANK YOU FOR USING OUR LOCAL PRODUCTS. LOTS OF LOVE FROM GHANA 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 🇬🇭.
i love that this helps the community instead of someonetaking the idea and doing their own spin, it warms my heart!
🥰🥰🥰
😢
I definitely watch craft videos as a form of relaxation (even to fall asleep!) and can attest to how great your channel is in that respect. Not only the gentle positivity but all that blending, pouring, pretty pattern-making...
Thanks so much!
Me too
Oh yes. Me two. And Sometimes she is Happy or excited and gets louder and shwoooosh i m awake again xD
Happend so often to me xD
Totally agree, I know this comment is a bit old by now but if you ever wanted similar content, some other channels that also hit that relaxing & crafty niche for me are Clay Zoo, Benny Cake, Bliss Cigar Co., and Baumgartner Restoration 🙂
It might be ‘just soap’ to some people, but I absolutely come here for relaxation and distraction…I watched your channel whilst in labour to relax and stay calm, and it worked!
I am so glad!
The women who were making/handling the shea butter had the most beautiful skin on their hands. It must be very moisturizing.
i thought this too! their hands must be so soft!
i use a shea-based lotion made by a local crafter and can confirm - shea is amazing!!
An African black soap was the first handmade soap I ever purchased, back in my early 20’s when I knew nothing about soap. I’ve loved it ever since, it is so delightful on the skin and leaves it looking so healthy!
I ordered the crumbles and incorporated into my cold process soap, and it came out amazing. I sold about 16 bars, which is great for me as a beginner! I definitely didn't like the rebatch or the premixed african black soap that brambleberry was selling. I made it, but It just didnt resemble or remind me of a good bar of African black soap.
🥰
I was wondering how this would work, glad it turned put well! Did you leave the crumbles large or grind/break them into finer pieces before incorporating them?
Ash, do you have a shop that I could buy your soap at? I’d love to support you!!!
@@arynphillips5888 I broke some within the oils, using my stick blender as well as left some whole. I wish I could post pics here, as they turned out so beautiful.
@@katiewelz7924 you are so sweet! I dont right now, as I am just selling through my Facebook page. I feel bad posting and advertising through Royalty Soaps page, as that was not my intention.
Hats off to brambleberry I have already created some beautiful soaps with this, I used the quick mix and the crumbles I love it
Yes, love Brambleberry!
I love black African soap! I use it as a cleanser for my face and you can tell it’s clean when you’re done; your face will be squeaky clean, literally. I’ve also seen less blemishes as well. It was recommended to me by co-worker and she told me it was the best soap for oily skin. Give it a try!
We LOVE your soaps Katie. I always load up on Pemberley soap bc it’s legit the ONLY soap I can get my son who is in the Autism spectrum to use; though I bought him the shamrock soap recently and he loves the smell of Irish Spring but it’s too harsh so he was delighted to get to use it! Thank you so much, Katie and crew. Sorry for the novel! I’m and English teacher, I can’t help it! 💜
Do you find it very stripping on the skin? My skin is combination so I worry this would dry me out too much
@@allana1997 I’m not going to dispute that OP has found this benefited their skin, everyone is different but that squeaky clean feeling is actually not the best for your skin. It basically caused by the soap stripping the oil off your face ..this can disrupt your skins pH balance which is what protects it. Sticking to a hydrating cleaner is always a safe bet imo!
@@semirelatablesarah Came here to say that! Yes your skin should not be "squeaky clean" if you want your face to be completely clear of acne you would need something less stripping, this soap also has exfoliants which you could be scrubbing at your face and you think it's working. Love your face, be gentle with it, no matter how much acne is there. Please refer to actual dermatologists.
The whole time I was just thinking "that soap looks like brownies, yum!" Lol! 😂
😂😂❤️
That is not what I thought it looked like 😳
My first thought: Ohhh maybe swirl the top, that would look amazing! - Next step: Katie returns to swirl! And that´s why I loooove your videos :D
😂😂😂
I am also one of the people that comes here for relaxation! In fact, RoyaltySoaps is my go-to watch for when I'm unwinding in the bath! It kinda comes full circle, while also giving me some lighthearted entertainment that I can always enjoy. You are such a joy and I look forward to every single video, from kits to creations and even the ones you think turn funny! It's all so great and I love your channel so much! 🥰💜
So much more than just soap. It’s like talking to a friend after a long day and falling into a state of ease :)
I watch it right before bed. Your voice is very kind and even your laughter and silliness is calming
I started using African black soap about 4 years ago and it has changed my skin dramatically! My acne cleared up and my oily/dry patches balanced out. I love it.
Thats amazing!
Omg me too! Life-changing!
I’m super interested in this, my skin is quite dry and oily at the same time, did you find it stripping on the skin? Also did it make you drier at first?
I find all your videos relaxing! My 6.5 month old and I watch your videos in the morning as part of our morning routine. The soap making portion and Katie's wholesome Southern charm is what keeps us coming back!
This is absolutely the channel I come to to take a break from the insanity that is life and just relax and enjoy your bubbly personality. Thank you for being a deep breath of fresh air 💜
Awww thanks for being here!
I love watching your videos for so many reasons. A break from the real world, to learn something, to see how Katie and the crew are doing,to oo and ah over your skills and sometimes to pick me up on down days, keep doing what your doing Katie! xx
The outro... Youre a legend! You feel special for being able to share and we feel special that you're so generous to share...
Keep being you. You help so many people by just being you and doing your thing.
Your videos have made so happy when it's been super tough lately. Especially the past couple of years. Thanks for all your hard work making soap and these videos. I love both the videos and the soap. I look forward to the next bar. 💗
Thank you so much!
Black soap is sooooo good! Love crumbles I usually buy it in bars already. I’ve gotten a box fresh right from Ghana in the past. It’s always a treat for my skin!
How lovely!
Crafting and helping the community at the same time? Wow!
I hope you get a lot of baraka ( برك means blessing) in your life! 🥰
I come to your channel to relax, get away from the mental stressors of the day, and I just enjoy watch soap and craft videos. I have a handmade jewelry channel myself. I just started posting about 2 months ago, and I have so much more respect for all UA-camrs. It’s hard work and takes a lot of time! But I do love it. I just hope to one day be as successful as you.
I love that the music you used fit right along with the theme of the soap! I always enjoy the creativity and joy you bring to your videos. Hope you and your family are doing well Katie! 🥰🌹❤️
Thank you so much!!
Black african soap has always helped my eczema!
I like our little chats at the end. Especially this one. I can tell you are sincere. That's why we love you ❤ I really did feel myself relax at the end.
This is such a wonderful video! I was wondering if you would do any more soap debunking/soap hacks videos? Also any plans for a rainbow soap? I would love the have some in time for pride!
Such fun, neutral soaps! Love the way the kit makes it seem so easy.
🥰🥰🥰
that swirl turned out so beautifully!
The 2 toned swirl is beautiful!
Thank you for being here! You help remind me to be colorful and happy in life and in soap.
I began watching because I love crafting and learning new things. I continue because I love your openness and willingness to teach others to be creative
I often put on you or some other youtubers who have calm even tones (most of the time) to go to sleep. I usually choose one of your longer videos (20+ mins) for that, because sometimes it takes that long to fall asleep, but I always enjoy it. You have a great calming voice :)
you keep me calm while I am working bless you and your awesome family.
I love all your videos. This was was really neat I love seeing companies sell things to support smaller villages in areas like Africa.
It would be really neat if you could make a bar and incorporate some of their things as a regularly stocked bar.
I love it when I enjoy someones content AND personality/ethics. Thank you for highlighting this
I definitely come here for the creative and positive vibe. I love watching people do their craft as a way to relax. Today, I did something nice for myself by giving myself a little manicure and watching some nice UA-cam vids as my nails dry. Thank you for always being there with inspiring content and a reminder to take care of ourselves
I love this video. Thank you for helping small businesses all around the world. We need more creators like you
That rebatch soap looks so much like my favorite brownies, my goodness I want to taste it lol. edit: Definitely not 'just soap' Katie, you've grown such a beautiful awesome community around this little family soap business. While I've bought (way too many) soaps from you I don't really think of them as soap... That sounds weird, what I mean is that I enjoy them as art. They make me happy to look at. And your videos brighten my day so much! I have severe anxiety issues and I keep a playlist of 'calming videos' and many of your videos are in it.
Im so grateful for you Katie! Your videos help me distress from the loads of pain I am in from college! I thought I was the only one who uses these videos as a remedy to fall asleep!! thank you Katie, truly
I came across your vids about a week ago and I’ve been binging ever sense. It’s a nice distraction from life ☺️ very relaxing to watch you make different soaps
I’m so glad you found the channel! Thanks for watching!
I’m not a person to stop and comment on videos. However, I really appreciate your outro today. Really needed to hear that. I’m going to do just as u said relax, breathe and consume all the soap making content for some winding down time.
your up-beat relaxed attitude is great to watch late, it also helps on the black or blue days! keep up the good work, we all love what you do and by association you
It is so much more than just soap ❤
❤️❤️❤️
You help me with my anxiety and have helped me fall asleep ever since the start of the uk COVID lockdown in 2020, thank you so much! Your channel is quite often the highlight of my day and calms my mind 😇
This channel is definitely where I go to relax!!
never miss the soap kits
Love it! I watch your videos while I embroider or craft. You inspire me and spark my creativity
I don't plan on making soap but I do love watching your videos
I'm so happy to see your micas again in the background
This channel helps me relax in the evenings and I appreciate the content!
I absolutely love this brand of soap/products. I haven’t recently but I would use the soap/clay mask all the time and it helped with my skin so much. Definitely an amazing product and I recommend it to anyone who’s willing to try it 🙌🏼
I don't make soap, but have been using black african soap since my 19 year old son was born... It was brilliant on his dry skin.
I love this channel, you can literally feel the good vibes 💕🌟
As ever Katie you are just such a breath of fresh air. I love how you do you being you and have such a big genuine heart.
When you said that it could be said this is just soap but is now more than that it really showed that genuinely big heart of yours as when people find your Chanel I think most falling love with you and your personality first and foremost and the soap is a secondary thing.
If only we could bottle you and prescribe you for peoples health and well being the world would be a much better place.
Just make sure you take care of you too and do something nice for yourself too.
A huge thank- you for brightening the day and much love and best wishes to you and yours always xx
I love African black soap, I have been using it for years. However I definitely want to help and benefit these beautiful women in Ghana and other countries in Africa that bring us this wonderful, beautiful soap! I loved this video. :)
Your channel definitely brings some peace and quiet after a long work day. I did finally make my first batch of soap this week. I was all ready to go, i studied, laid everything out for all the steps, reminded myself to burp the stick blender, put the stick blender in the oil and promptly turned it on, pre-burp. doh! so it’s got a few bubbles but i’m very proud of my little creation. thank you for the inspiration!
I am here for so many reasons... sometimes I just need the energy and encouragement...I run a business too and it's nice to hear how to manage life and kids for a balance.
you touched on something and i wanted to comment. you were talking at the end that your audience sometimes watches your vids to decompress....now i have been watching your videos for awhile now. i have no want to make soap lol, its you i come to watch....life has gotten stressful for me these last 7 months, my other half has been in the hospital since july due to a stroke, and i struggle to keep our little store open and still be able to go to the hospital and help out with his therapy. sometimes, i just can't adult any longer in a particular day, or its been a really bad day...i sit down with my crochet, and watch you and your lovely family make soap....you are such a likeable person, you make me smile, and as wendy williams used to say, in my mind, we are friends lol just know what you do is appreciated, you are loved, and you make a difference.....my heart and thanks goes to you and your family for what you do here
Yes, you are my relaxation go-to-sleep channel 💕
Wowsa Woman
You have so many awesome attributes
You empower without intent
Such a beautiful soul
Thanks for being YOU!
I definitely come to your channel to de-stress and refocus. I get sensory overload pretty easily, and sometimes it makes it hard to concentrate on other content.. but you're so easy going and creative that it helps me to block everything else out for a few minutes and re-enter ❤ Plus my two month old falls asleep to your voice! So, win win!
New soap maker. I find it relaxing. Made my second Pine Tar soap yesterday. Should get to slice it today. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I loved the music and vibe of this video. All the soaps came out really nicely
So glad you liked!
So I had an idea… maybe use a cookie sheet to set the silicone mold on top of so it’s easier to tap the soap down to let the bubbles out. Just pick up the cookie sheet and drop it to “tap” the soap mold down.
i definitely watch you to calm down, i’ve been struggling a lot with my anxiety and your videos really help me to ground and center myself 💕💚 i love this video!
Yes i come to your channel for a lot of reasons. One i love your creations, two i love your personality and laughter and three i also will watch to go to sleep when anxiety is bothering me as its relaxing to watch. I end up watching videos multiple times if i fall asleep i come back the next day to see how it turned out and enjoy hearing what you had said throughout the video as i sometimes watch with no audio. Your personality is so delightful i miss hearing what you're saying.
I love your videos for exactly why you said. It's calming and soothing and helps me relax. I also love love love YOU and just think you're so fun and adorable and happy and you just make my day! Me and my daughter watch all your videos and have bought your soaps and love them too. You're so great keep it up!!
I definitely come here to relax! I've learned soap stuff from you too, and it got my son into it (he's made some cold process soap since!) Its lovely to sit down and watch the magic happen ❤
You are one of my fav wind down channels. Had many good naps, and learned something new. A coworker handed me homemade soap once so I googled it and happened upon your channel.
I just had minor surgery today (everything went just fine), and I was so glad to find a new video from Katie to help me relax and see a new type of soap. Thank you so much for posting!
Oh yes! I absolutely love your channel and your outlook on life and your demeanor and your personality! Your family is so wonderful and so beautiful and those around yourself are equally so! I have been watching your channel for I don't know maybe 4 years now and I've always loved everything you've done! I always tell myself that 1 day I'm going to make a batch of soap but it hasn't happened yet to call my lol. I just really enjoy it Who you are as a person and I enjoy your content!! Thank you for everything that you do and I always love how broadened your horizons and your scope on others around you , has always been! You are extremely cultured and you have this thirst for knowledge that I don't really see very often! It's very refreshing and very I don't know complimentary to other cultures! So thank you for just being yourself but also broadening everyone's horizons! I really enjoy learning about different things about the world or crafts or viewpoints from you! I really liked this video and the fact that you're trying to support such a good cause!! You're a great person!
I appreciate you so much bc I listen to you just before o go to bed as I’m on Australian time!
It might have started as "just soap" for me...something I found interesting. But now, I absolutely watch your videos because it's relaxing and I'm always learning something new. You have inspired me to want to make soap. Unfortunately I live in a place where I'm unable to do that at the moment. But, I'm learning as much as I can in the meantime.
It’s my birthday today so I’m probably going to do a lot of nice things for myself. I love this channel & I’m on my second circuit of watching every video viewable on the channel. I recommend going back if you’re a small UA-camr. Seeing where Katie started & comparing it to where she is now, it shows you an example of what works
I've definitely used your videos to fall asleep before! But mostly like others have said, just to relax and destress. :)
yes i watch your videos every night to fall asleep, they are so calming and help keep my mind off things, so i’m able to fall right asleep ❤️
I have been here since u were at about 200k subs, and im glad i subbed. Ur videos have helped me through vsry dark and hard times in my life. ❤️
Thanks for this Katie!! I’ve seen some videos on making North American black soap using inorganic potash. It looks very interesting!!
🥰🥰🥰
I watch your videos to sleep at night. Thanks Katie
Maybe you should make a soap that not only looks like a brownie with walnut, but one that smells like a chocolate brownie.
You always make it twice as nice!!!!!
You are getting so close to 1M!!! Hope it happens soon for you 💛💕🤗
I love Bramble Berry. I especially love that their sheabutter is morally and ethically sourced. I need sheabutter as a deep south southerner. I appreciate those girls in Africa so very much.
As a genuine question from a texan, why do you need shea butter as a deep south southener? I have not heard of this connection before.
@@rebeccaburrow7199 I get extremely dry skin, and I work in electrical and plumbing and dry skin is a thing. Sheabutter for me is the best moisturizer for all my skin difficulties
Love this stuff!! It helped my daughters acne so much
My 4 yr old was watching this with me and he looks at the rebatch, then tells me "That's soap made out of candy". Hahahaha.
I love watching your kit videos!
Eeee! I love Baraka Shea Butter! I use it to make my whipped body butter and it is the BEST. Not just the product, but the mission too.
We love you Katie!! And your sweet family!! We been missing mom, it’s about time for her to show up!!
It’s more then soap. Fun and laughter.
Brambleberry out here building bridges and shaping communities ❤❤ Who thought soap could do that?
Wow, that is so cool that the shea butter is hand made in Ghana! I love your kit videos so you have officially made my day.
I looove these soap kit videos they’re definitely my favorite
African black soap is my absolute go-to soap! Love this video, Katie!
So glad you like!!
The rebatch reminds me of hedgehog slice, looks really yummy 😋 in a forbidden snack kinda way 😅😆
always a happy day when katie posts!
Awww thank you!!
You're an inspiration.
I need a playlist of you testing DIY soap kits.
Hello from Australia. I find your videos very interesting and relaxing.
Definitely more than just soap! 😊
Awesome content and information. Looks like that soap kit is a good beginner kit for someone who is interested in soap making but not 100% yet. Great way to get started. Thanks for sharing.
