Hi! In case you’re watching this and wondering why I added the kaolin clay and essential oils when I did, I just completely forgot to add them both before dividing the soap. 😂 Since they were going into the entire batch (and the EOs were non-accelerating), I could have just added them to the oils or before I divided the soap for the swirl. Honestly, I'm glad I remembered them at all given the day I was having. It was just one of those days. 😜 Hope you’re all doing well! Thanks so much for watching! -Holly :)
@@chemsciencetechnology You’ll have to run it through a soap/lye calculator to get the amount of water and sodium hydroxide for your specific recipe. After you enter all of your ingredients like I did at the end, you select Calculate and it will tell you those amounts. Hope this helps! :)
You are absolutely my favorite soap instructor ... I am an old soap maker, a chemist and an artist .... I totally appreciate your precise method and artistry! So well done ... thank you so much! When I learned, there were no wonderful tools like videos of those who really are accomplished in the craft - like yourself - it is such a treat and a privilege to be let in on tips and tricks that , literally, can take years to fine tune and master! You've already answered some of my problems that I could never resolve ... and you capture the MAGIC that soap making is ... it's endless fun, ENDLESS!
Thank you for a great video. It is so zen watching you make soap. I appreciate how you graciously share your recipes and techniques. I’m just a beginner and a few batches of soap under my belt. Your videos give me the boost of confidence I need to get to the next level. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Love your videos, I’ve been making soap for about 2 months already, but I’m still struggling using soapcal and converting bigger soap recipes to smaller sizes, could you maybe make a video explaining such? Thank you 🙏🏼💜
Oh wow, thank you so much for all of this! The charcoal guide is exactly what I needed, and I've been looking for a good mini mixer forever, so thank you for all of the links.
Holly, this is such a piece of art! Thank you for sharing... Will be copying this design and technic to create my charcoal soap next week.. hope you would not mind...
Beautiful 😍. It looks like soap stone or marble. Holly I’m drink my first cup of coffee & now my creative part of my brain is on fire with ideas. lol 😂
Beautiful soap and a helpful, soothing video! I've made mostly hot-processed soap. Do you spray your soap with 91% rubbing alcohol before covering/placing it in the oven, to avoid soda ash?
I am still VERY new at all this and I need to ask you something.... Why did you put it into the oven? Was it just to catalyse a process or is it deeper than this? Thanks for another super video.
Sure! It should be listed below the video, but I bought it on Amazon. It's called the Norpro Krona Stainless Steel 8 Cup Multi Pot. Here's the link if you need it (affiliate link): amzn.to/3kn3HjM 😊
Very nice soap, it looks like marble 😃, I love it! I purchased some Rhubarb root powder and I was wondering if you get some if you would do a video when you use it? I am going to try your recipe here too, I love beef tallow in my soaps it makes them harder and moisturizing too. Thanks Holly for another wonderful video 😊 💕❣.
Hello! I enjoyed this tutorial. Beautiful soap! I looked at the recipe at the end of the video, but didn't understand where to find the amount of water to use. How much water does this use? And is it 66g lye? Thank you!
Hi Holly! I love watching your videos. You are so inspiring. Everything you make is so beautiful. I was wondering if you could please tell me where you buy your white kaolin clay? I have purchased from two different companies and they have both been varying shades of grey, one was quite dark, the other one lighter, but by no means actually white as yours is. I would like to find a white clay. The "white" kaolin clay I use colors my soaps grey, therefore I can't use it unless it's for a soap I want that color.
Thank you so much! Using less water usually helps me with ash (if you're comfortable with water discounts, using a 35% lye concentration instead of 33%)...plus keeping the mold covered tightly with plastic wrap and a lid so no fresh air gets in for at least 48 hours (until saponification is complete) helps, too. Hope that helps! I purchased the mold from Workshop Heritage on Etsy. I think they're still on Etsy but you might try just a google search. The mold was called a double tall and skinny, I believe. I love the bar size, too. Their silicone liners are really nice and come off so easily. 😊
Beautiful soap! May I ask how you are able to record at that angle when your mixing? I’m trying to make a video myself and can’t find a tripod to get that direct angle.
How does a new soap maker know when our mix is at emulsion? I've only made 2 batches of soap and while I figured out what was causing them to seize, I now would love to know how to get to emulsion so I can start doing some designs. Biological science, I'm totally good with. Chemistry, not so much. :-D''''' Edit: Also, how long is the actual fully cured process if using the oven method like you use? Still 4-6 weeks?
Go to the description box, there is a link to I dream in soap's video about trace and emulsion. It's a good one and explains what to look for. Good luck!

I’m inspired to try this. Thank you for the beautiful and instructive video. I love that you placed a camera right where you cut. Great idea!
I just love all your videos.. so relaxing! You have a very soothing voice. Your videography is amazing as well! 💖
I am still VERY new at all this and I need to ask you something.... Why did you put it into the oven? Was it just to catalyse a process or is it deeper than this? Thanks for another super video.
truly beautiful, thanks for sharing! Everything about your video was so calming, nice touch..
Wonderful mam 😊....kindly tell about the pH of this soap??????
This was Amazing to watch. Thank you
Can you please share the link from where you bought your steel pot for lye solution
Sure! It should be listed below the video, but I bought it on Amazon. It's called the Norpro Krona Stainless Steel 8 Cup Multi Pot. Here's the link if you need it (affiliate link): amzn.to/3kn3HjM 😊
Is it good adding vegetable glycerin into soap making? I had a batch soap sweats...what would be the reason.
Very nice soap, it looks like marble 😃, I love it! I purchased some Rhubarb root powder and I was wondering if you get some if you would do a video when you use it? I am going to try your recipe here too, I love beef tallow in my soaps it makes them harder and moisturizing too. Thanks Holly for another wonderful video 😊 💕❣.
Thank you! I would love to try the rhubarb powder and will definitely get some and video my attempts with it. Thank you for the idea! 💕
Hey Holly! I just subbed to your channel. I'm just starting my journey. I love and appreciate your videos.
Hello! I enjoyed this tutorial. Beautiful soap! I looked at the recipe at the end of the video, but didn't understand where to find the amount of water to use. How much water does this use? And is it 66g lye? Thank you!

Je vous remercie beaucoup pour cette belle vidéo 😊
Thank you so much fir this!
Where did your find that super neat mold?
Thanks for you
It's just wow😍
Amazing, as usual 💕💕💕
Thank you! 😊
Love this video ❤ thank you
These are so beautiful! I have a tough time with soda ash when using activated charcoal. Could you tell me which mold you used? Love the size of bars!
Using less water generally helps avoiding soda ash. I only use 200g of water for 600-700g of oils or 1000g of total soap weight
Thank you so much! Using less water usually helps me with ash (if you're comfortable with water discounts, using a 35% lye concentration instead of 33%)...plus keeping the mold covered tightly with plastic wrap and a lid so no fresh air gets in for at least 48 hours (until saponification is complete) helps, too.

STUNNING!😊TY
Which EOs did you use? I saw "listed below" in the video but didn't see them anywhere or in the comments
Could you include temperatures in celsius for everyone who doesn't live in the US? It's difficult converting everything from Fahrenheit.
What are good scents for activated charcoal soap?
Beautiful soap! May I ask how you are able to record at that angle when your mixing? I’m trying to make a video myself and can’t find a tripod to get that direct angle.
Can we used soap base for making it
I would love to make this for myself but not sure how to only make 1200 grams so maybe only one loaf. How do you down size a recipe?
Hi! What Shld I use for the soap not to dissolve and get soggy faster?
