- Making my soap for the Soap Challenge Club’s Ultra-thin Horizontal Swirl technique. I also included some clips of my other two attempts at the end of the video (one of which I thought was a fail but ended up being my favorite). Thank you so much for watching!

••• RECIPE •••
Total recipe weight: 1050g
Mold Size: 9¾ x 6¾ x 1¼”
Bars are about 3" x 2¼" x 1⅛"
(I used my old BrambleBerry 9 bar slab mold without the silicone liner)
I used one of the recipes provided to us in the Soap Challenge Club tutorial.
soapchallengeclub.com/tutorials/
Superfat: 5%
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) & Distilled Water:
33% lye solution (Lye Concentration = 33% if using Soap Calc)
Water = 2 x NaOH
Use a soap calculator like the one at Majestic Mountain Sage (bit.ly/2ABEluj) or Soap Calc (bit.ly/3hmGMAB) to calculate the amount of sodium hydroxide required for your recipe.
Essential Oil Blend:
(one of my favorites…smells like sweet peppermint candy to me)
Lavender - 3 parts
Rosemary - 2 parts
Peppermint - 1 part

DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. Cold process soapmaking involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH or lye). Lye & raw soap can damage eyes & burn skin. When making soap, you should know & practice lye safe handling procedures. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful, many variables go into making soap and even the smallest change can affect the results; therefore, I am not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods or techniques that I use in my videos. - Навчання та стиль
Hi everyone!
In case you're interested, I add English (US) captions to all of my videos. If you prefer the captions in a different language, just follow these steps on a desktop computer:
1) turn CC on (bottom right corner of video)
2) go to the settings wheel (bottom right corner of video)
3) select Subtitles/CC
3) select Auto-translate & a list of languages will pop up
4) select your desired language
Now the subtitles should show in the language you selected.
I don't think translation works on the YT mobile app yet. However, if you use the Chrome browser to watch the video on your phone or tablet (instead of using the app or mobile site) and select Request Desktop Site from the Chrome settings menu, you should see a normal desktop layout and these steps should work for you.
I get asked about captions a lot, so I hope this helps!

That’s awesome, Holly! I was wondering about the deaf/hard of hearing who might enjoy your videos. Just beautiful all around!
I saw absolutely nothing wrong with any of them. Simply BEAUTIFUL!!!
Absolutely beautiful soaps - I think that the colours not going all the way to the bottom is an artefact of this technique. You inspire me to move back towards natural colourants. Holly, thanks for being so open and sharing your soap making knowledge.
Thank you so much, Nicole! 💕
None of your soaps will ever be a fail, sweetie! They are all beauties🥰 looks like such a fun technique and thank you for the tips, will definitely give it a go! Thank you again for a fab video, so cool to watch you soap🧡🙏
Oh, thank you so much, Mag! You are too kind! Thank you so much for watching, too! 💕
These are absolutely beautiful Holly. They remind me of some of the natural stones my husband polishes, doing lapidary. I find your videos incredibly soothing & watch them when I need down time. Thanku 😊
Every batch in this video is gorgeous, I wish I had fails like that!
Oh, thank you so much!
you win you win you fail you win thank you Holly for all the gorgeous soaps and your kindness at answering questions
Holly- you and Terri are my FAVORITE soapers. Your videos are detailed in beautifully shot, your soaps turned out wonderfully, and both of you have very relaxing voices. I also prefer how you do yours naturally, as coloring naturally can be super difficult. And I’m a very big fan of relaxing piano music.
I don’t really watch a lot of TV, but I watch UA-cam videos where I can learn things. I am a soaper myself, but not as good as you. However I just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos. Thank you so much! And happy soaping!
Oh, thank you SO much! That's so kind of you to say! I think Teri is amazing, so your comment just makes my day!
It's always so nice to hear from other soapmakers, so thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and say hello.
I really appreciate you watching my videos, too!
- Holly
Your video's are so soothing to the spirit. Love the colors and your sweetness of soapmaking. Thank you Holly for sharing.
Oh, thank you so much! 💕
Simplicity at it's best. Beautiful soap. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!
These are all truly beautiful. I really enjoyed watching this,thankyou
Those are beautiful!
How neat! Thank you for showing us all the batches, they really all turned out fantastic!
Thank you so much, Shonna!
They all turned out so beautiful! They reminded me a bit of the wood grain soaps I’ve seen.
So fascinating to see other techniques. I’ve always wanted to try this particular swirl because I find it so flowingly beautiful. Thanks for showing how this is done Holly. Beautifully presented. ❤️
Thank you so much, Karen! I think the way the swirl flows is why I like the technique so much, too. Thank you for watching! 💕
I loved this wonderful and relaxing video. Such beautiful soaps!
Thank you so much! 💕😊
I love them all they still came out gorgeous no complaints
I really like them all, the first one has a finer design. Very nice ingredients, thank you for sharing.
your soaps are soo pretty and the results of the second attempt was definitely surpising!!
Thank you! 😊
They're all beautiful! I liked the original tops of the 2nd and 3rd attempts. The finer lines under the surface could have been a wonderful surprise for the people using the soap to discover!
Thank you!!
All three are absolutely gorgeous Holly!!! ❤️☺️
Thank you so much, Teri! 💕😊
Soooo enjoy watching a true artist art work.
Thank you so much!
Stunning
So awesome!
Mesmerizing and relaxing, welp runs off to make soap!! Love you videos Holly.🤗
These are beautiful Holly. Great introduction video as always. Blessings to you 🍂
Thank you so much! 💕
They are all stunningly beautiful. Wonderful designs Holly and wonderful execution of the technique. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Thank you so much!!
All of these are super beautiful.
Thank you so much!
These are so so pretty! I love watching your videos and your voice is so soothing 💗
They all turned out nicely.
Thank you!
Wow, that’s absolutely stunning. It’s so elegant and calming. You’re very talented mixing clays and natural colors.
Thank you so much!
Holly - Kapia Mera Soap you’re very welcome!
Very nice Holly. You definitely achieved the thin lines. The natural colors were well chosen as they blended quite well. I thought your measuring technique for the secondary swirls was a superb way of replicating the design in each bar. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!! 💕
Ur explanation is very detail. I love it. Pls keep sharing ur beautiful work ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 💕
All three batches are uniquely beautiful! Thank you for showing the results using different trace levels for the base. I've been putting this off, worried I wouldn't get it right. 💕
Thank you so much, Debbie! 💕
I love love love love this soap
Thank you!!
Seriously it looks Very beautiful....
Thank you so much!
I love them all
Lovely video, reminded me of Terries' videos with Tree Marie.
Thank you so much! I absolutely love Teri's videos, so I really appreciate that comparison!
oh I really loooove your soaps and videos every time❤️ Your voice and tutorials are bring me down and I'm enjoyed (like while soaping haha) , Tina
You are so kind, Tina! Thank you so so much! 💕
Thank you for sharing your attempts this fills me good that I am not the only who falls in soap making. Un abbraccio 😊
You're welcome! I make lots of attempts that don't turn out like I'd hoped. I should probably share those more. 😊
Even the “fails” are pretty
Thank you!! 💕
Your so talented
Beautiful 💗
Thank you!! 💕
Very beautiful thank you
Perfect soaps. I don't see any fails
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you!
I signed up to become a part of the Soap Club. Right now I'm just a voyeur hopefully I'll have the nerve to do a project by next year lol. Your project turned out beautiful
Thank you so much, A.D! I'm so glad you signed up! 💕😊
me too! haha hoping to actually do one soon. maybe next months if the project inspires me.
Hi Holly, these are all beautiful 😍. I would like to try this design. Hope you're doing well. I patiently wait for your relaxing, wonderful videos. Stay well. 💕🥰
Thank you so much! It's a fun design to try. I felt like I had plenty of time to work on the swirls without being in too much of a hurry (like usual..LOL).
Hope you're doing well! Can't believe it's the end of September already. 😊💕
Gorgeous
Thank you!
Ty do much. I am very new and I have a question about the subflower oil. Being that the shelf life is shorter on this oil, does it shorten the shelf life if your soap.. or am I just new and confused lol.. probly so
Very nice
Thank you!
I love the darker one without TD. They all are very beautiful! I need a better planner I think, mine never look that perfectly after I plane mine.
Thank you so much! I really like the planer I used in the video. It takes off a bit more soap and seems to do a cleaner job than my small acrylic planer.
maravilhosos, meus parabens.....................................
Thank you!!
Beautiful soap making as always. I am wondering what is that paper you are using.. 🤔
May I ask where you purchased that planer from? It looks great! And stunning results in those soaps ❤
I have been unsuccessful in finding orange illite clay to purchase. Is it known by any other name? Can you share any links to suppliers that carry it please? Thank you. I really love this design!
Could you share the dimensions of your soap mold! That size seems perfect for me as a hobbiest
Without the additional "s" swirl at the end, would be a nice wood grain style
How can I find perfect soap formulation for me?
I have purchased soap from you before. Do you still have your shop? I do not see a link . *Fingers crossed*
No, I'm sorry! I closed the online shop in early 2019. I had to quit selling soap due to some health issues. Thank you for asking, though!
Thank you for the reply. I hope all is well and thank you for the tutorials . As always your work/videos are outstanding.
Shame the colours didn't go all the way through, the swirls look gorgeous!
Thank you!
You are ginios, ikredible, how nice, I, l never make soap like yours, thanks
Why you using Oven process.what is benefit of this steps..is this decreases curring time
I use the warmth of the oven to make sure the soap goes through gel phase. When the soaps gel, the colors will look a bit brighter and the soap can be unmolded sooner (usually). The soap still needs to cure 4 to 6 weeks so that the bars are hard enough to use.
@@hollysoapmaking Mercy for replying. 🌹
Nice video, besides the plug to purchase more stuff, perhaps rework your sales techniques. As watching a beautiful demo like this, only to find that you have to purchase something. Feels off on this type of platform, but I understand that we all need to make money....we need to help each other. Thanks for the demo on the technique..
I'm not selling or plugging anything. I'm certainly not making any money off of any of this other than a little UA-cam Adsense which barely amounts to anything. I'm not affiliated with the Soap Challenge Club in any way other than as a participant. I'm simply letting people know why I can't share the recipe (because I normally list it for them) and where to get it if they want it...where I purchased it. It takes me an incredible amount of time to make these videos, and I charge nothing for any of the information.
Thats fair
