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.

oh I really love the snow on top!! It looks beautiful!
Wow I haven’t took part in the soapy community for a while because I simply haven’t been able to make soap and I’m jealous 😂 but boy seeing you make soap and hearing your voice.. I’ve missed you! Much love and merry Christmas hun x
Miss Holly and family, wishing you a very peaceful and merry Christmas. Your soaps are making so many of my friends happy; I wish I could record their reactions and comments to send you. I kept the Winter Wonderland bar for myself. Seeing you make it is the best!
Very nice soap, its always wonderful when we are surprised at just how great an idea comes together! Great soap as always Holly. Merry Blessed Christmas!
Hi, my name is Demi and I love…your channel. It’s very therapeutic to watch. I’m knew to creating soap, body products, candles & wax melts. But my biggest struggle is Creating a name and logo. If you don’t mind me asking, Did you have yours professionally done? The logo I created on a free logo website is now being used. The logos are still on the website for other people to use. All they have to do is change the name and color. I’m seeking some direction in the matter, from a professional.
Sooo pretty!!
It's beautiful. The color is very relaxing.
I love these colors and swirl! Where do you get your gloves? I just love blue! I must get some more of your soaps. Thank you Holly 💞💕

Hi Holly! I’m new to CP soaping and just wondering if you could help out on a fragrance. I Love Mrs. Myers snowdrop scent and was wondering if you knew of someone that had a fragrance close to that. It’s described as citrusy and floral. Love watching your videos and have learned much from you!! Keep up the great work!! Love from West Virginia ❤️
Beautiful 🥰
I would love to work with you it just looks like so much fun. Smell so good up there I bet. Such beautiful soap.
BTW I'm going to order some of your soap soon as you open back up. I have one big problem tho, I won't know which to order BC I want them all.
Very nice work l like it
I want to learn to make soap business like you
Thank you for the video! It’s a gorgeous soap.
Nunca dice a k temperatura une los aceites con la sosa ni las cantidades pero muy bonitos diseños yo tambien hago jabones
Hi Holly, I am new to homemade soaps and have made at least 15 different batches, successfully… yay! The only problem I seem to be having is getting the right temperature for the more detailed soaps. Do you have any suggestions? I want to thank you for your wonderful videos. I have anxiety and your videos literally relax me. Beautiful soaps too!
Hi your videos are amazing, just a quick question where did you get your stick blender ?
I've been binge watching your Christmas soap making videos and this one caught my eye as I love all shades of blue, it's a joint 1st favourite with your Holly Jolly soap, boy did you pipe a lot of holly leaves and then all those red berries, you are a joy to watch Holly and one of my favourite soap makers to watch. 😊
Really pretty colors Holly!
So beautiful and wonderful craftsmanship
Hello can you please show how you cute the soap from the large soap mode before cutting in the soap cutter
Beautiful soap.
Love your videos! How do you prevent soda ash on your bars ? Thanks!!
My kinda colors! Looks great.
Sooo pretty
