Hi! I’m Joanna 👋 I’ve been making cold process soap since 2009 and as a business since 2011. I went from making my first soap bars in my shed using fresh goats milk, to scaling into a 44,000 sq foot facility and making over 8 million bars a year. This channel is a place for you to learn everything about cold process soap making. Learn how to effectively masterbatch your soap recipes, white label, scale your business, and most of all - deliver a high quality product to your customers that keeps them coming back for more. This is a creative and supportive community and I'm so glad you're here! Get ready to lather, rinse, profit, & repeat. XOXO your soap sister, Joanna Couch

Thanks for sharing. Not many are willing to.
OMG Joanna, you ARE a super woman and I'm totally impressed with your organizational skills and knowledge. SO impressed. I too am a soap hoarder and save almost every scrap to be used at a later date. Thank you SO much for doing these videos. I am learning so much from you. Have an amazing week.
Love your page, personality and your way of giving back. Thank You so much
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement
Wrapping 500 bars of soap and watching your videos. I am so in my zone. Love your channel!
Looks like Wednesdays and Sundays just got better for me. LOL I love when I get a notice that you have a new video up. You have inspired me so much that I made my first batch of soap last night. I made two loaves and a batch of cupcakes. Thank you so much for all the inspiration
You are so generous with what you share. Thank you!
Youre a doll JoAnn!!! Thank you to the Duchess of Suds for sharing you. I too like Sarah at Soap School.
Whoop whoop thank you Joanne looking forward to sundays now as well as wednesdays. X
Hi Joanna! I use a program called Snagit Editor for my screen captures at work (my unfun day job). Thank you for these amazing videos! You've become my new favorite UA-cam Soaper!!!
lisa caywood OMG snagit is the best!
Wow, thank you. I will check it out!
Some persons complain that you can’t smell the soap when it’s wrapped in shrink wrap.
What a blessing you are! Thank you for sharing!!
I can't thank you enough for sharing your personal touches. I feel like your a beautiful soul after watching your story! ❤️ absolutely in your following family!
Thank you fellow soap hoarder for another fantastically educational video!
Those cutters are worth their weight in GOLD! I own one and LOVE it!
Ok, you are my new soaping hero! I have been soaping and selling for 10 plus years and have always had bad luck with trying goat milk soap. After watching your videos closely I have just made my first successful batch of goats milk soap and it came out perfect. Thank you!
Oh, Nicole that totally made my day!! Thank you. I just posted my new video and it is about making Goat Milk Soap!!
Love watching you! So much good info. I am binge watching during our snow store. Can’t wait to try to make soap. Thank you for sharing.
Joanna, you totally are super woman! I agree with the commenter/fan below as well. I like your attitude of giving that little extra. I know how I feel when my suppliers do the same for me, it is always such a nice touch. It is also so very pleasing when I get a personal note as well. Thank you for sharing your successful methods with us, greatly appreciate your time and energy! :-)
Very informative, thanks so much for sharing. Love the candy, I include little samples or a soap frog, but love your touch.
Thank you for sharing. You are a thoughtful soap distributer and person!
Joanna, you are such a gem! Thank you so much for sharing. I can’t wait until Wednesday!
I am truly amazed by you!!! You are so inspirational you make me want to push my self even more! Love love you and your videos!! Keep it up!!!
Love your packaging. Keep up with making videos. We are watching.
Good morning my sister, I enjoy all of your video's , and I learned a lot
Thank you. I enjoy your channel and business acumen
You just keep getting better and better.
your AWESOME!!!
I’m impressed by all of this, knowledge, generosity to share....... plus, your space doesn’t look huge, so you are very well organised to manage all you do. I’m interested in mic/camera/editing too - I’m struggling to make videos I’m pleased with over on my little channel.
Thank you for yours - I’m no soap maker, but I came here from Royalty Soap and I’m really enjoying your style and content xxxxx
I know this is a little old....but OBS or OBS Studio is a free recording and streaming program that goes on your computer. It takes a little bit to set up, but its very customizable. So you can record your info on SoapMaker or even live stream soap making on whatever site you want to use.
For screen recording I recommend iSpring (it works on Windows and possibly mac?) You can easily choose the region of the screen you want to record, and there is no watermark or time limit on the video despite it being 100 percent free. I use it all the time
I loved your video! Thank you for showing us how is supposed to be done🙂
Thankyouthankyouthankyou
Joanna your videos are so informative and helpful! Thank you!
Wow! Awesome information! Great video!
With my UA-cam soap channel it’s still new too I am up to 1400 subs so I am still learning too. I would suggest the RODE mic brand. For your mic. You can get them for phones if you are videoing with your phone or you can get them for your DSLR camera if you are filming with that. Keep growing your channel! Love your videos!
I just subscribed to your channel. The information you give is very helpful.
I enjoyed watching the videos very much!!!
I use cigar bands and shrink wrap over them with smell through shrink wrap. I'm small time though (and want to stay that way) :)
💕
LOVE your channel !! You're doing a great job - would love to learn more about UPC bar codes :)
Great job on all of your videos👍🏻😀💜
Yes!!! Thank you for tutoring on soap maker 3!!!
Wonderful video !! I'm a new subscriber, I would love to see an organization video... Your soap area is super clean
Do the stores put your soap on display so they can see it out of the box and smell ??
I was the first one to watch your 2019 new year video! Cheers!
Thank you got sharing your wisdom..
Joanna, may I ask why you are not using the batch number from Soapmaker 3? I have just purchased it. I am trying to leverage most of the features so I am wondering if you have knowledge that I do not regarding batch numbers! 😉
Love your video's. Thanks for sharing!
So much good information. Thank you!
Katie buys all of her microphones, lighting and cameras on Ebay. I hope this helps. You're great!!!
Samantha Albu it would be helpful to have names .... I need a mic, the one I bought could be described like you do!!!! Heap of crap was it???? 😂😂😂😂😂
See the comment I posted about an hour ago. I give a full breakdown of what I use, as well as some suggestions for other gear.
The Wizard of Soap where is this comment oh wonderful wizard??? I would be very interested to read it! 😊
I don't think there is a way to link to a youtube comment directly. so I'll just repost it here
Thank you for sharing Joanna 💕
Omg I would love a field trip to learn from you!!!!!
First: great videos. Very informative and useful. Needless to say but your lab is primo....
Second: It would be of help to give links and where to purchase to the various products used in the videos, such as the cutter, beveler, etc.
I edited the video, it is in there now. Thanks for your response.
All my videos from now on will have links. Thank you for the suggestion.
Great info ...thanks for sharing! ⭐️
Movavi Video Suite. It has screen recording, audio and video conversions, video editing and creating, along with many other functions.
Hi 👋🏽 What are the dimensions for the soap label?
What are the final dimensions of your soap bars? You mentioned they weigh 5oz, are they 1.5” thick? Thank you 🙏
Love your video... Thank you
I think you mentioned screen recording, if so and if you have powerpoint, I use their screen recording option. There are apps for sure, but I like using the free options first! Let me know if you have questions about it.
Please tell me the names of these 2 tools which trimming the soap bar and their soures, thank you jojo
Thanks so much for sharing. Very very helpful although i don't get that kind of orders yet, here's hoping.
Lorna's Handmade Soaps that was the orders from our first trade show.
Hi Joanna loved the video, how do you print the address labels? Tysm
Using a simply label printer you can find on Amazon. Search inkjet label printer :)
Snagit is a great screen capture program for making vids. I believe the company has a free trial on it... watch some youtube vids on it and see if it might be right for you... and it gives you a idea on how to use it. Rodes microphones are amazing (I only know the microphone bit from watching vids by pros on it. ) I don't know anything about lighting. I am a pretty new soaper. I spent a year or 2 watching soaping vids... what I love about it (other than making the soap... because it is soooo much fun!) You can start on a really small scale... you don't need to go into debt and it is scaleable on this level. You will get a kick out of this... I found some art brush storage containers at dollarama for $2... they are 3.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep... 11.5 inches long. I line them with freezer paper. I am on a limited budget so you figure out stuff you can do without and put money into things like fragrances and shea. I have my niche all worked out. BUT this candle making stuff I do not know enough about. Can you recommend a tutorial please?
BTW on all of your vids you should have a link for people to purchase your soaps from.... in the comments. It might take some time to build up online sales... but they sell at FULL retail value online. Affiliate links are also acceptable for products you mention. After all people do not pay more for the products mentioned.
I can learn so much from you!! How long did it get you to get to this point in your business? Did you go through a lot of trial and error?
Oh, I could tell you a ton of stories Yes we did. Hope this videos save to time and money!!
Great video
I use these lights amzn.to/2IRusub I have two of them but I'm still working on lighting as my shots are often over done. They do bring in the colour better. I LOVE my Snowball Blue microphone amzn.to/2W3ExrG. Candy grams! Cute thank you addition for your customers. 🌷 Jen
Love you , you’re so funny 💜💜
hiii I just wanted to ask you if I had a lye that I can use to make more than 9 batches but I only want to make one batch. how can I set the price?
Nice job! you are so sweet!
do you charge your wholesale and private labelers the whole shipping cost. do you put any soap labeling on the private label bars. also what type of instructions do you give private labelers in terms of cure time. thank you for your reply.
Hello Joanna.. Quick question how soon can i shrink wrap my cp soap after i have made it? 2 weeks or its to soon? Thanks in advance.
You'll know you're ready to shrink wrap when you've weighed your bars for at 2-3 days and have gotten consistent weights. I recommend weighing them for 2-3 days after your initial 48 hours. Depending on your recipe, if it's in higher in water you will want to wait longer. But I'd say no sooner than 72 hours.
Thanks Joanna!! God Bless you for your kindness..@@TheSoapGal
WOW!!! What are your overhead expenses?
Thanks so much for sharing! Can you make a video in the near future that can offer ideas on how to go about getting wholesale orders! IRIS
Can you please tell me the name of the company that makes your soap boxes please.
Another informative video that you for sharing 😊. Have you had any issues with the candies melting?
Have a great day 😊👍. See you Wednesday

How do you figure out how much to charge people for delivery
Could you let me know as soon as possible how much for shipping and how to figure the amount thank you
do you charge your customers shipping?
Do you make your own labels?
Love your video , where can i buy your. soap
I'd love to watch your videos, but the volume is way too quite! Can you make it louder?
My soaps get the worst ash, despite water reduction
Spray with alcohol that help with ash
