Thanks for watching!
This video really just scratches the surface of the world of soapmaking. If you would like to learn more, I highly recommend the more in-depth and technical tutorials from Bramble Berry. I really leaned into the content when I was first learning about this craft, so if you would like to learn more about exact quantities and ingredients to make your own soap check out their Basic CP Soap recipe here: ua-cam.com/video/VKZI7X-UIe8/v-deo.html

Can you do a video on what are these cold pressed sugar soaps?

[@ashkcreates]

Hi there, I haven't tried it myself but I think others have! Sugar will definitely cause the soap to heat up more so that's something to keep in mind when adding it as an ingredient
