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.

LOL I felt for a second like I was in an Apostolic Church 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏽😂
Oh yeah, the soap is gorgeous, as yours always are❤️🥰
I loved the ones where you had hit the exact spot with alternating red green, red green. Sooo pretty!
I actually made my Christmas tree bath bombs in that scent. ☺️ it smells so good
Oh my gosh! The top swirl almost looks like a vine of leaves 💕 Thank you for sharing your videos 🥰
I'm always amazed when after adding the TD and the batter looks yellowish, but cures to a beautiful white 👍
"Horked it up" is now my new favorite non-cuss word. LOL! Loved this soap. Hugz, Tree
I am just really enjoying these videos, thanks so much! When I have extra money for the shipping cost to Europe I will def order from you!
Perfect for Xmas so pretty thanks Holly. 🎄💕
Hey! So pretty 😍. Can I ask have you ever seen the videos online where they make huge industrial batches? Not as satisfying!!🙃💜
Oh girl, you are so good with that huge pot. I would have that soap everywhere! Beautiful soap.❤️💚❤️💚❤️
super nice simple kool
Absolutely beautiful! I love how the colors in the drop swirl are towards the top and not throughout the bar. The green is perfect. Would you mind sharing the color and supplier?
Hi Holly
Love and greetings from Pretoria, south Africa.
Just so you know, I hit the "LIKE" button before I even start watching the video cos I KNOW that I am gonna LOVE it. YT should have a LOVE button.
Colors are perfect!
Gorgeous!!!
I love it!!
Cutting into it is so exciting and nerve wracking – it's a major thrill if you even only have one that turned out perfectly but a let down of it doesn't really match your vision for it. And my husband's better at cutting than me too – I'm terrible 😂 my kids would probably be better and they're 9, 5, 3 and 4 weeks old 😅
LOVE IT!!!! The colors are so vibrant!!!!
They look amazing!!!! Happy Holidays!
It looks amazing!
I love your enthusiasm!!
Where you orde the stick blender n what brand is it. Nice!
Thanks for the video!
Hi Holly, do you think you will ever make a video on how you make your room and linen sprays?
For the wax paper what kind is it? I made a some soap. But I think I have to change the wax paper? Or on your next video can you show how it looks before you cut the soap? If possible. Thanks
Hi Holly! Love the video. You are amazing and are so creative! Can you tell me where you got the little glitter spritzer thingy? What a neat tool.
This is gorgeous Holly!! ❤️💚❤️
The colors and swirl design on top are amazing! What a perfect soap for the holidays!
I like your laugh ❤️
I just love the swirled design on top!! 🤩
Good morning Happy Holidays!
Curious to know how much do you pour in the cups you put aside? Thank you for your response.
It’s beautiful!!
Very creative and beautiful soaps! Where do you get your fragrances?
turned out beautiful! I want trays like you have hun, any suggestions on where i could get those ? or are they the plastic trays now? Thank you for sharing your techniques . just started making cold process soaps and what a joy ride it has become. Keep up the beautiful work!
Enjoyed your video..
I would like to know whats the base oil in which u added coconut milk
I can't stop looking at this video it makes feel happy!!🎄🌺🎄🌺🌲😁 Can't wait to see what you make this year*
I love to hear the excitement and joy in your voice when you were cutting this one "you're cute, I like you" saying to that bar of soap made me chuckle 😃 can't wait for this year's Christmas soap video's 😊
