Soap Making - It's real soap!

Soap Making - It's real soap! Making a cool skull soap!

Today's video is a little long but I feel like I couldn't cut any more out. I really wanted to show as much as I could, how the process goes for someone who doesn't normally make M&P soap. I also wanted to dispel the myth that melt & pour soap isn't real soap! While there are some out there that are synthetic, a great many of them are real soap that's been made so we can re-melt it and create all these cool designs!

Soap Making - It's real soap!

[robertahubert]

Thanks for showing us all your mistakes we learn from our own and yours. Your the best❤️. My sons would love those I’m definitely going to try that

[rhondawiggins]

Just spray with alcohol any bubbles for Melt and Pour. You are so good, you demystify soap making.😜😎

[oldfarmshow]

I have been busy all day; thank you for your videos

[violetelin]

Yes, lol. When I use M & P, I stir between blasts. This was a very fun video!

[juliesix]

Pretty cool. I started with M&P. Then did HP because I wasn't sure of how to do CP. So far, I've done 2 successful batches of CP. They all have their place!

[aurorasoaps]

Love your videos and your humor! I use M&P for embeds on top of my CP...too cute!

Yer killin' me in this video Jon! And that monkey!! 😂🤣 #dead

I've been making M&P for a long time and you most definitely can and should stir - esp when heating - so it doesn't burn or scald at the bottom (which microwaves are famous for). Just don't stir vigorously and you'll be fine. 30 sec bursts are correct and adding your colors and FO/EO's around 140* is ideal so you can pour around 130*. Mix well and pour right away. Also, if you are layering or adding more as you did here - always spray soap in the mold with alcohol first so the new soap pour adheres well to the soap already in the mold. Even with the learning curve these turned out great! ;)

You are right. I’m making small thin dragons and only MP will work to create something like that. But suggest waiting longer like they say. 4-6 hours works really well to get a good hard MP soap bar or decorated soap. Great job.

[tonybirdwell]

I just might have to give m&p a try!

[toddfraisure]

I do both and actually enjoy doing the M&P more because I can make my own molds using different shapes. Plus I like doing multiple colors and it's ready to use almost right away. Having everything prepped is best so I can go from one step to the next fairly seamlessly.

[shadetreeprepper]

Awesome! I’ve always wondered how molds like that would do with soap. Thanks for the tutorial 😊

[jaidedragon]

I love using M&P making embeds and using that with my C.P., its lots of fun

[ValWarren]

I do cold process for most of my soap and liquid soap. But I started with melt and pour and like how you get clear soap or my favorite, icy blue, that you can't with CP or HP

[thekissofthegoddess]

I love the skulls!!!! I'm an HP and CP soap maker...I too get tired of doing the same thing all the time.i got too big for my britches and made clear M & P. It turned out okay but decided to buy it from the pro's out there. Thank you for sharing this video. Blessed Be!

[matthewsmith]

I likes what I likes, they likes what they likes, I'm really not too worried, turns out the Internet can be a mean place, even when it comes to SOAP!

A couple tips. It’s been a while but melt and pour does t stick to its self. U have to spray alcohol in between layers. To mix colors use 1/4 - 1/2 tap of alcohol and put ur oxide or mica in that. N yes spraying the bottom or the top will get rid of bubbles and make it smooth. A melt n pour goddess is Koala Soap’s. They are on YouTube and Dean from Aussie Soap’s Supplies. He’s amazing. His melt n pours are like art! And Koala Soap she does beautiful elegant soap’s. She made a red rose from melt n pour then she took crystal clear melt n pour and put a tiny amount in the clear and the rose was in the clear melt n pour with the slightest sparkle. It was beautiful. I thought of Beauty n the Beast withe the enchanted rose in the glass. Or a winter red rose snow globe. U gotta check her and Dean out. They are the best MnP that I’ve ever seen!

[paulalynrider]

If you are a seasoned soap maker and familiar with all the various methods of soap making, you can absolutely make your own M&P from scratch to have on hand for projects. That way YOU control the ingredients in YOUR M&P and then yes, YOU are still the soap MAKER! It's all real soap...CP, HP, M&P, Soap paste, Liquid

[JWC]

Those skulls turned out amazing! Thanks for the video.

[rhondawiggins]

Forgot to say that I’m very impatient also.I make cold process all the time and I keep unwrapping it and Peeking at it, I get so excited. I also tend to unmold them too soon at times so they’re kind of funny looking.

Thank you for breaking down some of the elitist/haters and it’s such a great way to jump in for skittish people.
