Nurture just added essential oils to their site! Their fragrance blends are the only ones I’ve ever bought in the two years I’ve been making and they’ve been consistently awesome.
Hello, Mrs Soap and Clay! It would be so amazing if you made a video explaining fatty acid counts, laurel counts, oleic , palmatic and what differce it make in the soap. if you already have, a link to the video would be a sooooo very much appreciated. Thank you!
She has put out a bunch of vids that talks about this…. Some id recommend are the deep dives, how to formulate a recipe vids, or how to substitute oils vids. One of my fav reasons to watch Mrs S&C is the basis in science and understanding all the soapy things!
Perfect advice about keeping the recipe simple and effective! I was so distracted by everything that 'could' go into the recipe...and now I've narrowed it down to those three with a fourth thrown in to change it up here and there...but, why? I mean, really...why deviate from a simple recipe. Thanks for your resesarch so we don't have to...says the librarian... oh, no she di'unt!!! hahahahahahaha
Thank you so much for the tutorials. I’ve recently started soaping and I love it. All this has been super helpful. One additional supply that I would love to find at a better price than Amazon is clays. You inspired me to add clays to my formula and I grabbed some but wow were they expensive for such a small amount. I know there has to be a better place to get them. Thanks for everything. On a side note Mrs. S&C my daughter absolutely loved and skipped around the house at her pirate ducks. 😉
Oh I’m so glad to hear it! For clays, you may have to go to a number of different suppliers to get all of the clays you need, but these are good places to start. essentialwholesale.com/shop-ingredients/shop-by-type/clays?gclid=Cj0KCQjwrs2XBhDjARIsAHVymmQMMx7BhkBdjhwWVsUV3K9AAm9JSiVe7aHRHMlOiv5uPc0sUNso_dUaAsuIEALw_wcB www.bulknaturalswholesale.com/collections/clays-colorants
Yes, Big Lots has the best price on coconut oil and if you sign up they give an additional 20%off on every single bucket you get. Also for EO’s LAKSHMI INTERNATIONAL LLC has the best price for me and wonderful quality. I love Bulkapothecary as well
So I ran this the 33% 33% and 34% in soap calc for a one pound batch. ( first time ever to make soap other than M&P) . Wish me luck Mrs S&C. I’m excited and nervous
Forever catching up here... For beginners please check out Natural Bulk Supplies. They are waaaay cheaper than wholesale including shipping, and I have found them to be a phenomenal supplier for both smaller quantities and larger actual bulk orders. Also amazing customer service!
Bulk Apothecary does have pretty expensive shipping, but for me in MI… it gets to me in a day or two. I plan on trying out Soapers Choice next time though.
Hey! I think I just figured out to become a “member”! I still have no idea what discord is, but I guess I’m signed up to that also? I need to find a teen to help lol
Hello ,I love your UA-cam channel,am a newbie to soapmaking, am really struggling to get it right,I use the 3 basic oils but it comes in at thick trace really fast before I could even do anything with it ,really need your advice
Hey! I would try hand stirring a batch, paying attention to how the soap thickens to an emulsion. Over-mixing is a common culprit of overly thick batches for new soapers - take it slow and watch the batter changes. Also, using extra water will help your early batches as well. Have fun!
Lard and tallow both make great soaps! I don’t use either because my line is strictly vegan, which makes sense for my customer base. But if your customers are good with animal oils, they both soap beautifully.
WSP has actually gotten MUCH quicker with their shipping times. All my recent orders have shipped out in less than a week. There for a while though it was getting ridiculous.
Just so everyone knows... 7 lbs is not too much. It comes in a 1 gallon container. Soapers Choice has fast shipping. I think I ordered on a Friday and got my oil on Wednesday.
Hey! Red Palm and Palm have the same fatty acid composition, so they're interchangeable. Red Palm yields yellow to burnt orange soap, whereas palm is white. Palm kernel is wildly different than the other two and resemble coconut oil more than palm, so not interchangeable in a recipe that calls for palm oil.
I order a large order from bulk apothecary and my order showed up in 5 days. I was shucketh! Wholesale supplies plus does have good sales but by the time you get it, you forgot what you ordered.
Seriously, it’s a hard pass on Amazon for this one.
These soapmaking guide videos are sooooo good 👍🏾 thank you lots from a soaping newbie from Canada! You rock Lady!🥰
Outstanding info for beginners…excellent resources.Fantastic, have a beautiful day.
Nurture just added essential oils to their site! Their fragrance blends are the only ones I’ve ever bought in the two years I’ve been making and they’ve been consistently awesome.
Fantastic video! Great advice
You can also cook with all of these oils if you don't use them up lol. This tutorial series you are doing is awesome!!! 🥰

I learned from YOU and Ann-Marie that I could use Babassu or PKO in place of coconut! ❤️❤️❤️
Do you recommend new suders use palm kernal flakes or palm kernel oil? Saw both on Soaper's Choice website
Thank you for all your great advise. I love your channel ❤️

You are amazing! That is all :)
Do you or anyone else reading this know of a FO similar to that of Fels-Naptha laundry soap?

Nurture soap has some essential oils now. Their lavender smells so nice. Prices seem fair. Love the free shipping at $30 as well.
And they offer payments !!! So I can buy more ❤️
Thanks! Appreciate all the knowledge as a newbie. Not sure why I am not able to see the discord info or how to get in.
so professional
I can attest to going through the oils faster than you think!
Absolutely! That soap bug is legit.
Yes, Big Lots has the best price on coconut oil and if you sign up they give an additional 20%off on every single bucket you get. Also for EO’s LAKSHMI INTERNATIONAL LLC has the best price for me and wonderful quality. I love Bulkapothecary as well
I like using Babassu oil, macadamia nut butter & apricot kernel oil.🥰🥰
You don't mention castor oil, is there a reason for this? Thanks. Very interesting video (as ever).
I like lard and it's very cheap, what do you think about lard?
Love the tshirt
Thanks! Love the Nerdy Birds!
So I ran this the 33% 33% and 34% in soap calc for a one pound batch. ( first time ever to make soap other than M&P) . Wish me luck Mrs S&C. I’m excited and nervous
Have fun! I have complete faith in you.

What do you think about lard or tallow in soaps? Love your videos! ❤

WSP is amazing when they've got sales. And their shipping for me, has always been incredibly fast. 3-4 days.
That’s awesome! I feel like I’m still waiting for orders from WSP from three years ago. 🤪
@@MrsSoapAndClay holy wow...
See, that's how Brambleberry is for me. 6-10 weeks. 🥴
NG has micas now! 😁
WSP has actually gotten MUCH quicker with their shipping times. All my recent orders have shipped out in less than a week. There for a while though it was getting ridiculous.
See, I still have issues.
@@MrsSoapAndClay that's so weird
I wonder why it's so different 🤔
Just so everyone knows... 7 lbs is not too much. It comes in a 1 gallon container.
Soapers Choice has fast shipping. I think I ordered on a Friday and got my oil on Wednesday.
All of this!
There is 3 type of palm oil: red, fruit and kernel, which one is best for soap making?
Hey! Red Palm and Palm have the same fatty acid composition, so they're interchangeable. Red Palm yields yellow to burnt orange soap, whereas palm is white. Palm kernel is wildly different than the other two and resemble coconut oil more than palm, so not interchangeable in a recipe that calls for palm oil.
@@MrsSoapAndClay so when you talk about palm you mean regular palm oil, not kernel right?
@@denysearchambault5021 accurate. If anyone is talking about palm kernel, they will say palm kernel or PKO.
@@MrsSoapAndClay thank you so much :)
I order a large order from bulk apothecary and my order showed up in 5 days. I was shucketh! Wholesale supplies plus does have good sales but by the time you get it, you forgot what you ordered.
That has also been my experience with WSP.
Bulk apothecary has free shipping on over $250.00.
Oh right, they do!
It's not free shipping over $250, it's 15% off over $250 (which actually saves you more than free shipping in most cases).
How do we join Discord? I am interested.
