This video is so thoughtful in so many different ways. Talking about how you don't want to put things behind paywalls and don't want to gatekeep your recipes, talking about how you're mindful about creating products we can use longer than just a few weeks, giving us warnings about ASMR or visuals we might not like -- thank you so much for caring so much about us, Katie. It's so obvious how much we mean to you. I've been a fan for years and videos like this remind me exactly why I keep coming back.
When you made this soap previously you used a drizzle on the top that looked like actual honey on the comb. I wish this one would have had it too, it always makes the bars look so delicious and realistic looking. I love the drizzles! Regardless, the soap still looks and smells lovely I am sure!
Hi Katie! For a challenge video have you ever considered making a woodash soap? Making your lye from scratch by using hardwood ash and filtering the lye yourself and see how well that would work for a soap?
If you ever decide to delve into the world of soap making, you may find that many of Katie's techniques are widespread. As for her recipe, it is a basic recipe that anyone can use and tweak, provided that you use a soap calculator.
The honey soap is always great - I've bought another version from you before, can confirm the bar has a noticeably creamier feel and thicker lather, it's lovely to the touch. Also the ASMR is reminding me of how ideal RS content would be for the compilation/sleep edition YT video trend - I'd never fall asleep to anything else 😅
I am so glad you mentioned about seasonal stuff. Many new soap makers need that advise. I rarely make seasonal stuff and when I do I just make very small amounts. My customers don’t care about seasons and I found that out the hard way. Thank you for your transparency and commitment to help others. Blessings to you. Ps love your decor!
Vibes not themes! It's also way less gimmicky. I get that people like to use them in the run-up though. An old friend of mine loves Christmas and would happily talk about it any time of year 😁
I really really miss the birthstone soaps! I understand that they probably weren’t good for profit margins, but I thought they were just great presents!
Katie, you are the reason i make my own soap. I have been watching i believe since 2019-2020. You give good information and helpful tips. I have never used your bars because of allergies to Almonds but the shampoo/conditioner bars are amazing.
What I love about your products is that you can gift them just about any time of the year for any occasion. My teenage niece loves fruit scents no matter what time of year it is so being able to find the kind of scents she likes year round is great. It doesn’t matter if it’s Christmas; she’s happy with watermelon, strawberry, grape, any kind of fruit.
I love love love your honey soap. It's the only bar that I've used completely because I can't get enough of the scent. I'm excited to get a restock and gift it to people for Christmas, it's that good.
You should do a fluffy pancake collection of soaps, you could even do different versions to add different inbeds like blueberry, cherry, syrup and bacon etc xx
It's also difficult to gift christmas themed soaps because not everyone celebrates Christmas. My friend who is jewish and my friend who is muslim have no interest in santa themed items.
💜💜💜 Love this and love your soaps. You alone are the reason I got into soap making and have a successful little side gig! Ever thought of selling your fragrance blends? Opens up a whole new market to include the people you have inspired that may not buy your soaps because they make their own! I would definitely buy! 💜💜💜
I love this scent. It is my favorite scent this far! I'm really hoping the candle also comes back in stock. It's also my husband's favorite and the throw of Katie's candles cannot be beat!!!
I absolutely LOVE your honey soaps. I've bought so many, the local honey and any honey mixture (the lavender/honey soap is my current use one!). I absolutely LOVE bees and we need to save them more than ever. Plus, they smell SO good and I'm so glad you can support your local beekeepers this way, too!
Your honey scent is my absolute favorite! I buy multiple bars of soap AND I’ve used the wax melts, it’s always a treat when these finally go back on sale!!
I have to say, this new bar size is perfectly adorable! I have been using my accidental stash of your soaps...they last so long for hand washing, and the fragrance is still amazing(I will admit, I'm slow to use them because they're so pretty)❤❤❤
I LOVE your fun videos!!!!!! You give SO Much of yourself in all of them I hope you save someenergy for you & you family THANK YOU I love that you are such a tell it like it is and roll with the punches gal Blessings to you & your family
I've been using one of your honey soaps since I moved into my new place and we started painting it in January. Leaves the skin so soft, smells beautiful and works great! Bars last forever too, I've still got so much left
You could add different elements and talk about how they're affected by the process or not, and maybe discuss how product testing is done to keep people safe when they're buying a commercial product. I'd love this.
A few years ago I got a part of the honey soap in the sample pack thing with small pieces of different soaps. It smelled so good. I shared some with my sister but held that one back because I loved it
I think having this soap available year round is a great idea. Love to watch your videos. A scent I'd love to have in a soap and other items is Claire Burke Original. I don't know if anyone else has asked for it, but I would love it! Keep on soapin'!
very nice that you put warnings for asmr because I know some people absolutely hate it! I am the kind of person that gets their head scratched by that noise it was awesome! also on another note my cat reacted to the noise and thought it was a poptart wrapper and he ran up sniffing 😂😂😂
It's interesting that peppermint is considered christmassy. I don't get that at all, I don't know why. We had candy canes on the tree when I was a kid too. I'm in the UK. It's such a cold flavour, warm things for winter make sense in my head!
Hey Katie! What if you calculated the lye to be really close to zero super fat. Then mixed the honey with your super fat oils. And made your soap, not lye heavy of course, but close to zero then added the honey and super fatting oils after most of the lye reaction had already occurred. What do you think? Would it seize with all that extra sugar? have you tried it? Just curious.
Fun fact: St. Nicholas becomes "irrelevant" after 12/5, because that's his feast day and Christmas lasts until January 7. Despite secular attempts to change it, religious holidays are more serious than something like Thanksgiving or "any winter holiday" and deserve the respect of knowing what they are. I wouldn't go around saying stuff about Yom Kippur, cuz I'm neither Jewish nor educated on it.
Would you ever consider making a soap/set of soaps without almond oil? I love your soaps but I'll never be able to buy and use them because of an allergy and I imagine I'm not the only one.
We actually have a lot of soaps without almond oil! ❤️ www.royaltysoaps.com/collections/simplicity www.royaltysoaps.com/collections/diamond-soaps www.royaltysoaps.com/collections/glass-soap www.royaltysoaps.com/collections/whipped-soap
Goodspeed cutter... so you're cheating on Evangeline with this new cutter!? The drama! I feel like I must stay tuned for the continuing story of Days of Our Royalty Soaps Lives...
I don't want to complain but I *really* don't like the random ASMR part of the bubble wrap before you peeled it off. I often watch videos while doing something else like playing games and it takes me a little bit to be able to click back to the video to skip it. If you want to include ASMR I'd really appreciate an audio warning.
If you're going to add ASMR into a video please ensure this is in the video title, so people can know not to watch it if the ASMR noise makes them want to scratch their own eyeballs out. Thanks,
Year Idk... 8? Of waiting for a penguin soap. Also... I really don't like this cut. But that's a personal thing. I don't like that cut from other creators.

The enzymes in honey are destroyed around 98 degrees so you are correct, but it's the thought that counts. Honey just sounds so comfy.

I'm just a watcher, not a soap maker. It's really refreshing to see someone willingly share their recipes and techniques for free.
If you ever decide to delve into the world of soap making, you may find that many of Katie's techniques are widespread. As for her recipe, it is a basic recipe that anyone can use and tweak, provided that you use a soap calculator.
I love peppermint soap even in the summer because of the cooling effect it leaves on my skin!

Me.too!
I enjoyed watching the clay powder get absorbed into oils at the beginning.
QOD: the frankincense and myrrh soap is one of my favourites.
Katie, you are the reason i make my own soap. I have been watching i believe since 2019-2020. You give good information and helpful tips. I have never used your bars because of allergies to Almonds but the shampoo/conditioner bars are amazing.

thank you katie for not gatekeeping with patreon. you easily could, but you don't and I respect it
BEAUTIFUL❣️❣️❣️ I can’t wait to see the frankencinse and myrrh soap❣️
I love love love your honey soap. It's the only bar that I've used completely because I can't get enough of the scent. I'm excited to get a restock and gift it to people for Christmas, it's that good.
So nice to have a soap to buy for friends that lasts after Christmas!
The Three Kings soap is one of my favorite scents!
You should do a fluffy pancake collection of soaps, you could even do different versions to add different inbeds like blueberry, cherry, syrup and bacon etc xx
It's also difficult to gift christmas themed soaps because not everyone celebrates Christmas. My friend who is jewish and my friend who is muslim have no interest in santa themed items.
What about soap that is green, red, white, and black
I don’t celebrate myself and love when places have do more to “winter themed” vs “Christmas themed”.
Well give them another soap. Why is this an issue for you?!!
U sound kinda racist
Love the winter theme soap! I love giving soap, but many of my friends are not Christian!! So winter would be great!
💜💜💜
Love this and love your soaps. You alone are the reason I got into soap making and have a successful little side gig! Ever thought of selling your fragrance blends?

Love the frankincense and myrh soap. The scent is so unique. Thanks
I absolutely adore this time of year for your soaps (okay I adore your soaps all year round).
I love this scent. It is my favorite scent this far! I'm really hoping the candle also comes back in stock. It's also my husband's favorite and the throw of Katie's candles cannot be beat!!!
Thank you I appreciate the free content. I just started following you and I love your work and learning so much. Thank you
I absolutely LOVE your honey soaps. I've bought so many, the local honey and any honey mixture (the lavender/honey soap is my current use one!). I absolutely LOVE bees and we need to save them more than ever. Plus, they smell SO good and I'm so glad you can support your local beekeepers this way, too!
I always enjoy watching your videos. Watching you make soap makes my day! 🧼🧼🧼
Royalty Soaps day is always the best day ❤🎉
Your honey scent is my absolute favorite! I buy multiple bars of soap AND I’ve used the wax melts, it’s always a treat when these finally go back on sale!!
Yes im very excited for it! So pretty! The frankincense and myrth soap :3
Your advice is spot on. I'm headed into my 3rd holiday season making soap, and it's true. I made very few of them this year, on purpose. ❤
I've been purchasing for several yeas now and this is my absolute favorite soap of yours 🍯 🐝💛
Best. ASMR. Ever.
I've used a bar of this soap and it is absolutely awesome! I hope I can get another bar or two when the winter collection drops on November 1st.
I have to say, this new bar size is perfectly adorable! I have been using my accidental stash of your soaps...they last so long for hand washing, and the fragrance is still amazing(I will admit, I'm slow to use them because they're so pretty)❤❤❤
I LOVE your fun videos!!!!!! You give SO Much of yourself in all of them I hope you save someenergy for you & you family THANK YOU I love that you are such a tell it like it is and roll with the punches gal Blessings to you & your family
God bless you for leaving in the full bubble wrap peel! I do not like a lot of ASMR sounds, but that is one I love!
Thank you, Katie, for keeping your recipes free, I can't wait to try it ❤ happy birthday, Royalty Soaps❤
I put honey in nearly every batch of soap I make. I love how bubbly and creamy it is!! 🐝🍯
Cant wait for the frankincense and myrrh soap ❤
I love this. Thank you for sharing 😊
In my apartment, my bathroom was Christmas themed all year around, so a Christmas soap would fit but I'm an odd duck. My kitchen was Autumn themed.
That is cool.
this soap makes me think of a snack i love to make and it's a peanut butter honey and banana sandwich love it so much!
you are awesome Katie
I've been using one of your honey soaps since I moved into my new place and we started painting it in January. Leaves the skin so soft, smells beautiful and works great! Bars last forever too, I've still got so much left
I feel like this one is begging for a little bee stamp in the corner 😊
Honey is my favorite soap scent!
OOH YOU SHOULD DO A CHEMISTRY COLLAB! NILE RED?
You could add different elements and talk about how they're affected by the process or not, and maybe discuss how product testing is done to keep people safe when they're buying a commercial product. I'd love this.
YAAAAAS! Love the Frankincense and Merrh!
i just purchased a lovely honey perfume and am on a whole honey scent kick so this is PERFECT! hopefully it doesn't sell out before i can grab one!!!
A few years ago I got a part of the honey soap in the sample pack thing with small pieces of different soaps. It smelled so good. I shared some with my sister but held that one back because I loved it
Katie, could you please do birthstone soaps next year?
promise that you will
I think having this soap available year round is a great idea. Love to watch your videos. A scent I'd love to have in a soap and other items is Claire Burke Original. I don't know if anyone else has asked for it, but I would love it! Keep on soapin'!

Congratulations on 14 years of soap making. What was the purpose of adding the clay at the beginning?
Sometimes when I open a package I'll drop the bubble wrap on the floor and roll my desk chair over it just to hear the fast pops.
It's interesting that peppermint is considered christmassy. I don't get that at all, I don't know why. We had candy canes on the tree when I was a kid too. I'm in the UK. It's such a cold flavour, warm things for winter make sense in my head!
My favorite! 🎉❤
I am here for the cat sidetracks!
I have a soap I make using the honey water I have after rendering bees wax from my hive. I call it everything but the bee
The Sagittarius babies never got our zodiac soap collection from like 2 or 3 years ago bc you switched to holiday soaps at the time 😢
matches the mantelpiece

BUBBLES!!
:D
Normalize gifting holiday soaps at Thanksgiving! 😂
I wonder if honey would be better in M&P since it’s already soponified? Especially if you add it in powder form and at a lower temp.
But I’m excited for The Sugar Plumb Fairy 🥺
I don't mind the patreons that you can watch the videos earlier or some behind the scene stuff. But I get it
Do you make antibacterial soap?
Woohoo!!!🎉🎉🎉
Katie i got a question for you about your soaps
Just a thought. Hear me out. Pirate theme soap?!
I’m very curious what your new size is for your bars
Missing gold glitter or gold drizzle on top!
❤😊
I'd love to get some of the bars, but coconut allergy runs in my family. Can't touch it sadly. The soap looks amazing, though!
Fun fact: St. Nicholas becomes "irrelevant" after 12/5, because that's his feast day and Christmas lasts until January 7.

What exactly is Thanksgiving to you, if you don't mind me asking?
Why am I here this early?!!! Love youuu
How thick is the soap. Looks thicker than an inch
I see Caramel Coffee ☕. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Isn’t titanium oxide unhealthy?
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Would you ever consider making a soap/set of soaps without almond oil? I love your soaps but I'll never be able to buy and use them because of an allergy and I imagine I'm not the only one.
Check out royalty soaps simplicity’s line. . I want to say the video from her makeign them said it was a different recipe.
We actually have a lot of soaps without almond oil! ❤️

Why are they so little?
Is real honey that liquidy? Am I consuming fake honey all this time? 😮
Thank you for making your videos free. I stay far away from patreon.
LOVE the ASMR!!! 😂
It looks like caramel, and I want to eat it. Just...faceplant.
Goodspeed cutter... so you're cheating on Evangeline with this new cutter!? The drama! I feel like I must stay tuned for the continuing story of Days of Our Royalty Soaps Lives...
Your asmr scratching is hilarious!😂
I don't want to complain but I *really* don't like the random ASMR part of the bubble wrap before you peeled it off. I often watch videos while doing something else like playing games and it takes me a little bit to be able to click back to the video to skip it. If you want to include ASMR I'd really appreciate an audio warning.
She did give an audio notification about asmr at 8:40
I thought using honey was bad because it’s a humectant?
You have to measure it very carefully, but a small amount isn't a problem clearly. 😊
Asmr golllldddd
I miss Evangeline
I'm sure I'll love the soap- but skipping this one for rewatch since ASMR actually enrages me. And it's everywhere on UA-cam now. 😢
If you're going to add ASMR into a video please ensure this is in the video title, so people can know not to watch it if the ASMR noise makes them want to scratch their own eyeballs out. Thanks,
Can you please show us the Process of your sister making the in bed I think that would be really cool to see
Katie stop making soaps that make me want to eat them😠😭
Year Idk... 8? Of waiting for a penguin soap.
Also... I really don't like this cut. But that's a personal thing. I don't like that cut from other creators.
OMG yes plllllllleeeaaassseee a penguin soap!!
Missriss clauses cookies. What?
I bought spruce and fig scented christmas themed hand soaps last year and never put them away lol. Am I the weirdo?
