🟥 DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. The content I create is intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can permanently damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear during the entire soapmaking process, even while cleaning up. I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining. However, due to the many variables that can affect a batch of soap, if you do try any of my methods or techniques that I use in my videos, I cannot be held liable or responsible for your results.

I forgot to mention why I added two lids to the soap before leaving it overnight. The piece of acrylic was used to prevent any fresh air getting inside, which can cause ash. I added the wood lid on top of that for insulation during the gelling process. The wood lid by itself doesn't sit perfectly flat, so I like to use both.
Thank you so much for watching! I also wanted to thank everyone who has purchased one of my SoapMaker graphic t-shirts (listed above...under the video description box) or used any of my affiliate links. I can't thank you all enough for supporting my channel!
- Holly :)
You make everything look easy. Big fan of your videos - no loose talk, no distractions. Above all, big thank you for sharing the recipe.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Thanks! Holly, you are incredibly knowledgeable. I’m so happy I found your channel. I can’t believe you share your love for soaping as you do and your recipes. I’ve been watching your videos for a while. Your voice is so soothing and you’ve made learning very easy and course worthy. I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve taught me. Please accept this love coming right back to you.
Hi Holly, I sent a Monetary Gift. Please let me know if you received it.😊
@@donnahayes7375 Unfortunately it appears Holly doesn't care about her viewers, $49.99 was a very nice gift from you, if I had a UA-cam channel and you donated to it, I would certainly thankyou for this.
You have the BEST voice for videos and should do them for others as a side hustle! 😁😍 Thanks for being so generous with your sharing Holly. I rarely comment on these videos but am a fan and decided you needed some kudos for being such a great teacher and always being so sweet. 👏❤
Oh wow, thank you SO much! I'm always so self conscious about how I sound, so I really appreciate that! 💕😊
Dava pra você traduzir os ingredientes em português

I made your calendula soap recipe yesterday and unmolded it this afternoon. It looks wonderful. I’ve never done a 20% Shea before, I’m very excited to try it out. And it was so relaxing to not have to give special consideration to color and swirl design. I appreciate your videos very much!

Thank you for making such an instructive video. I always love your videos.
Thank you and thanks for watching my videos!
Holly...you are my absolute favorite CP soap artist. I began my HP soap making journey 5 years ago but have recently started CP again using the heat transfer method. You are such an inspiration to me. I have always loved infusing my calendula in Olive oil and I make calendula tea, too. It's one of my favorite soaps. Your videos are just beautiful. 💞
Thank you so much, Valerie! That's so very kind of you to say! I've never used the heat transfer method, but I've really wanted to try it. Thank you again for your kind words! 💕
😅thank you
What s beautiful pure and soft looking bar of soap... They are beautiful! I loved seeing all the steps involved with the infusion and tea. Superb video, Holly 💛
Oh, thank you so much, Shonna! 💕 I can't wait to see what you create with the beautiful oil infusions from your recent video. All of your gorgeous flowers made me want to try a sunshine infusion just to have the jar sitting in my windowsill. 😁
@@hollysoapmaking Sun infusions make for pretty window accessories, lol 😊
I wish I could make these soaps.... This is your years and years of experience... And.... Passion
Love all your videos
Simple & beautiful

Your voice is so calming and relaxing. I suggest your channel to everyone, especially soap makers who need your calm and soothing style. Thank you for your videos.
Oh, thank you so much, Linda! That's so kind of you! I really appreciate that.
Dear Holly, thank you very much for your great videos - I love them. You have a very pleasant, calm voice and the individual steps are easy to understand. With this video it was easy to make the soap. Many greetings are sent to you from Germany

Me gusta todo el proceso: maceración y te de la flor de calendula, y el resultado como todos sus jabones, fantástico!!! Gracias por la fórmula 🙂🙅♂️♥️🇲🇽
That's a great video. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, and recipe with us. I just subscribed.
What a great video. You’re so inspirational. I am going to try something similar!
Thank you!!
Great soap! I always freeze my infusions and juices for my soaps. Otherwise, the sodium hydroxide would burn all their good properties...
Hello would you please share how you do that? I’m new at soap making and this recipe is wonderful
Such a beautiful soap! I will definitely it a try! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you!
Sooo pure 🙂
Lovely soap.
Beautiful! Your videos are so relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

I loved your video. I have my calendula “tea” in the freezer now in preparation. Using calendula infused sunflower oil in my recipe. Cant wait to unmold tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your recipe 🦋
Thank you so much and you're very welcome! 💕
Awesome as usual!!! Greetings from Greece!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much ! 🌹
Thanks you so much😊
My flower bed is full of calendulas, I love them flowers.
Love your shirt. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Thank you and you're very welcome!
Beautiful to view, lovely voice to hear, awesome end result. Infused tea, any benefits or just colour. Calendula is my favourite I grow those flowers all year round for my skin care products. Love Love Love this from Australia 💛
This was the easiest video to follow along too :)
It’s a pleasure listen to you and see your videos … thanks … I would like to say that I think it would be better if you made the lye solution with frozen tea of calendula… in case the heat of the lye could damage the properties of this marvelous infusion … thanks for your attention
Muito lindo e delicado ,parabéns ❤️
This video is both educational and relaxing 🙃
Thank you!!
Don’t forget inspiring also!
Thank you.
💚Thank you!
Holly do you have a video explaining how to decide how much of each EO to use?
Enjoyed
Wow 🤩 beautiful color~
Thank you!
أشعر بالسعادة عند رؤية صناعة الصابون أتمنى أن اتعلم ❤❤
Your videos are so soothing to watch!! Thank you for sharing!! Did you use hot distilled water for the tea or just tap water?
Lovely ❤
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your generous spirit!! I have learned so much from you and all your videos. I love them dearly. At a time when people weren’t sharing recipes you were then and now. I thank you for your encouraging heart helping us to believe that we can do it. I believe there’s a Queen of soap commerce and a soap Queen. You guess which is which🤣. Thanks for sharing your ideas in a calm (Kentukian) way. Forgive me if I guessed wrong. Stay safe and thanks so much!!!💗. PS Calendula is my to die for so if your wondering why I’m gushing could be that. 😎
Thank you so much for your kind words! You were very close! I'm from Tennessee. 😊💕
Beautiful. Can i use only oils and do it
thanks for sharing, Holly. I made a similar soap but with Chamomile petals. I also added some ground chamomile petals to the batter. Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa.
Do u have a soap making channel as well ?
@@daniellecorb4915 no, my dear. I wish I had. I will get there one day. God willing😊 It is on my vision board.
Thanks for everything. Can I Know the how to make glycerin transparent soap base??
Thank you for your lovely videos, you've been a great inspiration, I started my soapmaking and I loved it. Could you please teach us how to make our own infused oil to use instead of the essential oils or fragrance oils, they are nowadays too expensive. Could we use this same method for any kind of herbs? Mint for example. Will the final result be the same as if we used essential oils?
hello, new subscriber loved your videos which soap do you suggest for to get brighter skin and for dark circles
What a great soap! I can’t use calendula (I’m allergic to it☹️) but I can use other botanicals! Thank you for the great idea!💕
Thank you, Belinda! 💕
Hi! Love your videos! May I ask what else can we do to the calendula petals after the infusion? Calendula petals are expensive here, I live in a tropical country where the weather is about 36-38C. Can I just leave it near the window sill to infuse? For how long? Thank you
Hi holly! Lovely soaps! I would like to know how much grams did you use for the water and for the sodium hydroxide. Thanks ☺️
TFS could you please tell us how long the essential oil blend lasts in the finished product?
Should I make calrndula tea with the distilled water or just the hot water? Beautiful video
I love watching your videos, you film them so well, the music is always balanced and nice and your voice is really calming and friendly. I love how you show the soap calc at the end of each video, it makes it not so scary to us beginners! And I must say the soap looks so rich and lush, is that because you used the 6% superfat? Which I assume means you use more fat in the recipe right? I love calendula and growing it, I didn't have much this year but hope to plant tons of it this summer.
Thank you so much!
Can you use the Calendula petals from the oil infusion or the tea and mixt them into the soap ?
