More about the soap in this video:

I used 2 parts lavender to 1 part orange in this video. I recommend purchasing essential oils from Bramble Berry, Wholesale Supplies Plus, New Directions Aromatics, and Camden Grey.

The recipe used is proprietary to my business, but you can find many amazing recipes shared by Bramble Berry, Lovin' Soap, and the Nerdy Farmwife. Almost all of my soapmaking videos last year did have a test recipe. I have also shared a tallow recipe this year in the tallow soapmaking videos.

Hey everyone! I had a surprise soap release last week (following another surprise major home repair 🙄) and there is much available on the website! moriversoap.com. As is typical, this is probably the last stock of 'regular' soaps for the year so be sure to stock up! Thanks for watching!

I just love the natural and clay soaps, so beautiful from start to finish and I also really love how the "purple" came out too.

[hedgerow.homestead]

Love love love it!!!
That purple colour is actually quite similar to the paint I just picked up for painting my bedroom

[JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

I really wanted you to put a hanger swirl in there. But it’s amazing without! Good job!

[celeste]

Dude when you swirled it, it looked like orange peels and cinnamon and all I thought was Christmas <333 Just add clove, cardamom, anise, I'd buy the whole batch.

Gorgeous batch Holly I would’ve loved to be able to smell these soaps yummo. Thanks you. 💕

[Bellessentials]

It turned out so pretty! It’s amazing how you poured the purple color first but it almost ended up in the middle. Drop swirls are so cool! 😍

[tamikocastro]

Love your soaps and videos; thank you for making then both.🙂

[lab]

This is beautiful Holly! I stumbled upon a beautiful purple for my last lavender batch, I used rose clay and activated charcoal only (doesn’t seem like that would make purple but it does!) Try a ratio of about 3 parts rose clay to 1 part charcoal, I think I added just a touch more charcoal as I was mixing to slightly deepen the purple and it turned out really great.

Holy, I loe the look of the subtle, natural colorants in these bars. It really turned out pretty. I'm also sure it smells amaze balls, lol!
Have a great day!

Holly, I use Brazilian purple and add White Kayolin to make my lavender color. Yours turned out beautiful!

[annswarmfuzzies]

Oh how pretty!! I didn’t know Bud was in MO! I’ll have to check his shop out. I’m in the market for a good loaf cutter, and I love to shop local!
