Love it! I'm a sucker for the teal micas in soap! The Orange slices just topp it all off Ellen. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas 🎄🎁. Many blessings. 💕
I can't get into soap making at this point in my life (no time, no space). So I have to watch your videos to make up for that. And they're especially great after a long day at work

Beautiful soap,I love the combination of the colours and those orange segments are so cute.Love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing and a Happy New year to you😊xx
Lovely swirls. My family members loved my arrangement of soap-sugar scrub- body butter- beard balm-oil- deodorant-lotion. I added in my healing salves for rash,pain,etc. Win win. They are set for the yr in soaps since l got a wee bit carried away😂😂
I have always used coconut milk powder and I just tried it your way but now I have little brown spots all over the top. I haven’t cut it yet, but why? My lye was 94 degrees and my oils were 94. I added the milk to the oils and blended. Then I added the lye. It looked good after the pour but now … ugh
I made this recipe today, it is the absolute slowest recipe I have ever tried. Thank you. This will help me improve my craft.
From a Quick Look from the top it looks like carrots with green tops!
Same!!! LOL
Watching your videos gives me such joy! Hoping you had a blessed Christmas 🎄

Beautiful soap.Have you ever made a transparent soap base?
Not yet..
❤
Beautiful. Out of curiosity what do you do with your soap trimmings? 😊
This batch of trimmings is being donated to Eco Soap Bank.
Do you warm up the coconut milk?
No, it's at room temp when I add it.
Thanks. I was always curious. Beautiful soap.
I’ve learned so much from
You Ellen! ❤
Question-‘do you need a water discount for all milk soaps?
No, if you're doing a full milk soap, you can use the full amount. I do prefer a water discount either way 😉
When the fragrance has vanillin, will it discolor the colored parts as well?
Yes, vanillin will effect all the colors.
How much soap batter do you pour into the divided portions?
I tend to pour off too much.
I don't measure, just eyeball the amount... Sometimes I'm off a bit too🤣
Do you make any soaps that men would like.
Here's one I just made for the men in my life: ua-cam.com/video/Fh3gHNprFiU/v-deo.html
What can I use instead of Lard
If you sub an ingredient in a CP soap, it's now a new recipe and you'll need to run the numbers thru soap calc to make sure your lye ratio is correct.
is mica powder good or bad
I think it's "good"🧡

Oh no, I'm sorry that happened! I've not had that issue??
@ should I soap cooler? What temps do you add the lye to the oils?
