F A Q S
Why doesn’t your video have a recipe and supply list? This video is not a tutorial. Please check out the helpful links above.
How do I get started in soapmaking? Start off by researching. Educate and then experiment. Be sure to follow all proper safety precautions. A great starting place is the beginner cold process soapmaking series by SoapQueenTV here on YouTube. You can then purchase all the supplies you need at Bramble Berry. Lovin Soap Studio also has a beginner series on YouTube.
Why don’t you share your cold process soap recipe? Our recipe is proprietary. We are contractually obligated to keep our recipe a secret. I do occasionally share a test recipe. I highly recommend Bramble Berry, Lovin’ Soap, and The Nerdy Farm Wife for free recipes. Those resources are a great starting point and then you can tweak your favorite recipe to make it your own.
Where do you buy your oils? We purchase our oils in bulk at Blossom Bulk, Soapers Choice, Jedwards International, and Wholesale Supplies Plus.
Where did you buy your molds? My husband builds all my wood molds. My silicone molds are from various suppliers.
Where did you buy your soap planer? My husband built the soap planer for me.
Where did you buy your soap cutter? We purchased our soap cutter at Bud’s Woodshop.
Where did you buy your soap loaf splitter? Our loaf splitter was purchased from Smith Creek Studio.
Where do you buy your soaping containers? My pitchers are from School Masters and my large plastic containers are from Webstaurant Store.
Where do you buy your fragrance oils? We purchase our oils from many different suppliers. We don’t have a one-stop-shop for all of our oils. We blend the majority of the fragrances we work with.
Where do you buy your colors? We buy our colors at Bramble Berry, Nurture Soap, and Mad Micas.
Where do you buy your coconut milk? I was buying So Delicious Organic Coconut Milk on Amazon but I think you all bought them out! Ha! I now buy Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk. Please don’t buy them out. I need coconut milk. lol
Where do you buy your soap boxes? We usually buy our boxes from Wholesale Supplies Plus or Elements Bath and Body.
How do you design and print your labels? I use Adobe Photoshop to design my labels. I use full sheet labels and print with our HP Laser Jet Pro printer.
Where do you buy your packaging materials? We buy our packaging materials at various suppliers including Paper Mart, ULine, Nashville Wraps, Eco Enclose, and Amazon.
Do you give classes? No, I do not offer classes. However, if you need help, leave me a comment and I’ll see what I can do.
Why are the comments disabled on your older videos? Due to some very negative, hateful, and vile comments, I am no longer allowing commenting on older videos. The older videos seem to be the ones targeted. Newer videos may have approved comments for a time. I welcome decent, respectful comments.

Wow, so lovely! Thanks for making a video
Happily watching; I added a bar of the Peppermint Soap to my recent order. I plan to keep it for myself. Holly & family, wishes for a very relaxing, peaceful Thanksgiving.
Szerbusz.Csodálatos szép szappanokat készítettél.Bár egy szót se értettem belőlle.Magyar vagyok.De ámulattal néztem azta szeretetet amivel a szappanokat készíted.GRATULÁLOK!
Hi Holly, I was wondering, when you make your embeds like the squares and round balls, so you use your usual soap recipe to make them, or do you use another, for example, a bastille recipe, if you don't mind me asking? I'm wanting to make some embeds, but not really sure which recipe to make them with, or if it even matters? Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video – I love this soap and peppermint is one of my favorites for soaps and body lotions. As a newer soap maker, can you tell me how you achieve the white without the glycerin rivers?
I love the way the red looks flooding over the white. Such a pretty soap!.
OMG 🥰 I just received my soaps today from the holiday collection they smell so good 🥰🥰🥰 and your packing was beautiful I’m very happy I was able to order from you I will definitely order some more 😉 I took pictures of my box and my new soaps 💕✨ Thanks
These are so nice. You make me want to try it out. Cant wait to try new things over Christmas. 🥰🥰🥰
Holly those soaps are perfect. Happy Holidays
great stripes! I love them!! the soap really looks Christmassy!
Soaps look beautiful and your videos are well made! Thank you for sharing! 😃
I'd like to try, although It is much work to do. WoW!!!
Holly.., love your soap. I made a peppermint striped soap and the really red mica I used bleed onto the white part. Where did you purchase your red mica? I need a red color that’s non bleeding. I need your help?
Ok I just went over your video… I caught you say that it is Trail by fire mica from Nutures soap. It does not migrate.
Holly this bar speaks for itself. You are so skilled. Magnificent, so perfect. Not to mention your soap formula, how wonderful it feels. Bubbly and creamy. Your bars also look good. Hard and smooth…perfect.
Hi love l make saop but my saop is steal oily can you tell me what happend please i'm never happen before.
The stripes are so pretty!! This would be beautiful to sit out in a powder room during the holidays
This has to be my most favorite soap you have ever done! I can’t stop staring at it! Haha. And your photography skills are soo good! I love love love.
You make such pretty soaps.when you put them in the molds how long do u wait before you remove them? Do I need a heating pad? If so for how long
They are gorgeous! Even if the white is off white (looks perfect on video though), still looks absolutely amazing 💞
I swear, you are the Queen of striped soap! These are absolutely stunning. ❤
I would love to see this color scheme again. Its so perfect for Christmas. How about other colors? White & blue for one bathroom; white & green for the kitchen….just making my list early.
Do you have a patriotic theme design for your soap around July 4th
