This is a short video on" how to's" and what I add to my base. Additives are an extra bonus for the customer in that you take a base and add what your skin likes. What have you been adding to your base? I am not a teacher nor do I teach soap this is simply a video on how I work with my base.
I am working on getting a forum up on facebook to share(techniques) and inspire(photos) other soap makers who love glycerin soap making. I will announce it here on youtube very soon.
If you work with m&p I hope you will join us in this group.

So refreshing to see someone talk about m&p bases
You are a lifesaver for making this! I am new to soaping and I have been getting so frustrated! I love that you got straight to the point too. No 20 minute lecture first like all the other videos. Looks like I need to get a stick blender!
+Christina Gross Thanks for watching. I also have a fb forum you can join it's listed in the description of this video.
How about if i want to get Hard Melt and pour
Love ur videos Louise, u are really down to earth, when you explain your soaps
I love that Bee soap! Love the design of that mold!
Absolutely stunning and gorgeous soaps you have there!!! You are my m&p soap hero!!!
Omg, tysvm for talking about how to get a white base from a clear base. I just wasnt sure. I spent all day trying to load up my shopping cart online. I had a 24 lb white base and a 24 lb clear base. I just dont need 50 lb of melt n pour lol. 24 lbs is plenty! Yeaaaaa you just saved me $60 tytyt
Thank you so much for sharing. You have encouraged me to be more creative using the melt and pour bases.
I've decided to use (at least for now) melt and pour as my primary soaps for my Etsy store and for the markets I'm going to work this summer. I do CP but right now it's hard to get a lot of those made and then waiting for the cure. THANK YOU for making your videos, they are teaching me a lot about how MP soaps can be adapted and customized, and how they can be just as great of a product to sell as CP or HP. Just deciding to do this has taken a TON of stress off of me because restocking these and making them personalized is so much faster and easier, and I have found some high-quality, amazing bases that are still great for people with any skin type. I was afraid people might not consider my soaps "handcrafted" or "homemade, natural" if I used MP, but as I learn more I see they are right up there with CP soaps, and just as good and beautiful. Blessings to you and wish you continued success!~
Thank you, I wish you the best in your journey~
Thank you the thought of cold process soap is just a bit overwhelming for me and this video really helped me and it shows me what I can do with multiple way. Thank you so much I appreciate you.
Always great information ~ thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us novice soap makers!!

Very helpful. I was just looking to see if I could add TD to my clear m&p for some imbeds. Perfect video! Thank you
I've been searching all over for an opaque glycerin base and not a transparent one. Thank you so much for posting your video and sharing the knowledge!
+Rob Thanks for watching Rob
Great to see you back Louise. You and Karen have been my inspiration to start m&p and start my own business. Thank you. Loved this video. Have not used stick blender but can see how it will blend my additives much better than what I've been using. Your soaps are gorgeous as usual. Thx Wendy
Great videos and great group. What can I say? Louise is the bomb.

Hi. I just came across your video and I am so happy I did. This was some awesome information. I am very new to soap making and I am using melt and pour.
O sister, I am learning sooo much from you, thanks a lot
I've only made 4 soaps and all of them were M & P. I'm not ready for CP as of yet. Love your explanation of Titanium Dioxide, because some others I have watched do not explain why they use it. Thanks so much for this. I'm ordering some soon.
I appreciate your information! Your soaps are lovely....
Thank you for watching!
great tutorial. clears out lots of misconceptions .
Omg thank you for that tip, I will always buy clear M&P now...
The soaps are beautiful!!
Fantastic Louise. Very helpful. Thankyou so much for sharing x
I am new to this, thank you for showing how the stick blender helps w/ oil. I couldn't figure out why my carrot seed oil would not seem to mix in! I used a stick blender yesterday, but it put a ton of air in it. The bars are not very hard (I can actually bend my bars!) Watching this video again I see what my problem was. I should have tilted the stick blender so the air would escape. I will know that for next time. I am making these for myself, so not a big deal because I can still use them. :) thank you!
Hi Mel, good to hear from you! Thanks for watching I have been fishing not as much as I'd like to but any day on the water bets a day at work..lol.

Yes but WHY would you want to add it to the base...come join me in our forum on fb...Louise
Lol! Glad it's not just me! I once put Castor oil in my base for sudsing purposes. Turned my totally clear lovely base cloudy. I figured because it was clear in the bottle, when incorporated into my clear base....all is clear. It wasn't.
Very useful video thank u
Great video
BEAUTIFUL SOAPS
That's amazing information
Love your videos x

Haha...mistakes are what makes us stronger and learn more of what NOT to do..lol...I have had my share and still do when I try something new...but that's what is so fun about trying new things and breaking the rules...hope to see you on fb..Louise
May I ask what you added to the soap in your larger order you showed in this video. I am new at this and am like the melt and pour soap but you video sure helped. Thank you
Beautiful soaps! I just need to know how you made the slipper soaps. Did you have full molds for them?
Where did you get the honey bee mold? I've been looking everywhere for that one. I have a bunch of different ones but I LOVE that one. TY
I enjoy your watching your videos. Do you make cold process soap? How long does your melt n pour soap generally last, per bar?
Hi I really love your content.😍 very educative ,And I have a question how can I add citric acid to the mix ?
Hi! How do I make a melt and pour lather more? Thank you!
Hi Louise! I love making melt and pour and I think a forum would be fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
Great video btw!
Look at Brambleberry, Natures Garden and WSP...or just google bee molds it's all online. thanks for watching.
Will the lathering be affected if I use a castile soap in an M&P base?
Also, will the lathering be affected if I use a liquid shampoo in a M&P base???
Thank you so much for your input!!
Thank you for this video! I was wondering if I can add herbal infused oil to my soap base (melt & pour) I didn’t know if we add to much it can get mushy in the shower. Any suggestions about how much to add per each pound? Maybe 2-3 tablespoons? Thank you
Love love love you sharing this.. question: flip flop mold is way too cute- where can I find it, the shavings of different colors, are those from previous soaps or color blocks.. beautiful work..
I have a question please, what about essential oils? what temperature should i add them in order to capture the scent and properties of the oils, and also how much per pound should I use overall . I know depending on the oil it will varied but I need a general opinion, thanks in advance and thank you for a wonderful tutorial!
Whenever I use my stick blender to mix in additives I get too many bubbles. Even after I use alcohol I have a soft layer when I pour my soap. Is there a way to fix this issue? Thanks!! :-)
Hi!!! Would you recommend adding tinctures to MP soap base? :)
Thank you Loretta
Absolutely love your videos, I’m a beginner, how did you start your business!. Your soaps are amazing! X
How do you keep your soap bars from sweating? The melt and pour bases that I have used, even the ones that are labeled low sweat feel greasy to the touch or like they are melting when I am trying to package them. Do you let yours dry out before packaging? All of the tutorials I've seen on melt and pour say to put them in shrinkwrap or plastic right away.
I am a beginner in soap making, I bought a goats milk melt and pour base and last night made a trial” soap but I found it left my skin a little dry? Any tips on what can be used to hydrate/ moisturize? I have a bunch of base soap left o would like to get a use of it. Thank you for your informative video!
wonderful video...I started making soap and I can say I do pretty good.I am in Greece and I wonder when ;you mention festivals where you will sell your soap...could you tell me pelase if you have to have any special permission to sell something in festivals?and what is exactly a festival...thank you so much for your time
i see u do great job;) my question its why my soap pour melt keep sweat?
when u say bubbles (regarding the honey) do u mean suds after the product cures/hardens?
Thanks for watching Karen.
Can you add sodium lactate to Harden or will it harden to soap
Hey my melt and pour soap is always so soft what can I add to get it harder?
My soap melt when in the sun. Do you know how to prevent that
How do you wrap them? And how do you get the multidimensional top to the logs? When I make them I can’t get any height to the log. And one more question how do you get your soap to have more suds?
Oh my gosh, I just love that bee mold, would you mind telling me where you got it?
Love your video, question I added goat milk powder to my base with a stick blended all was good, but the powder seemed to rise to the top of mold once it set. Gonna try again allowing the base to thick in some. Soap was really creamy and still bubbly!
You can spray some rubbing alcohol in the goat mild powder to break it up before adding it to the base, make sure the base is hot...around 135-145 temp to help incorporated the powder into the base...thanks for watching.
+805Soap Thank uou for quick respond, will try that in small batch.
Hi can we make aloevera and papaya melt and pour soap using transparent base .
Can you add sodium lactate to your soap base as an additive to keep it hard like cold process? Or is that just a cold process deAl
If you compromise the base, could you add more base to fix it?
When melting the soap is there a certain temperature that the soap needs to be
I just learning to make soaps. Just doing the basics right now. But how did you get those colored spots on your honey soaps?
Thanks for watching, Angela.
Louise thank you I started my venture with M&P . Learning scent hold on here from the craft stores. Ick on M&P . But that is what I knew then I found BB and ordered a better base. I have a Ton of questions adding micas, herbs etc. I do alot of hot process and am getting my feet wet with cold process. Would I be able to join your group to learn more . I am looking for a more natural base. I have a great opportunity to but they love organic. Do you mix M&P with cp? RCA
A white base though could be Shea butter or Goats milk. As well as the suspension is different 😋
