Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Rainbow Extravaganza for 2020! In this video, I’m making our Rainbow Succulent Soap. This is only the second time I’ve made this soap and it’s the first time to join in on the Rainbow Extravaganza! The previous version was scented in a strong green/natural scent and due to feedback to make a fruity version, this soap is scented in a new fragrance. This soap is scented in our Mango Milk fragrance which you may recognize from our Mango Milk Sea Salt Soaps. It’s fruity but still a bit green and fresh with notes of mango nectar, sun-kissed citrus, salty beach lily, and night blooming jasmine.
I’m only making one video per soap for this Rainbow Extravaganza. Some will be long and chatty like this one but most will be short and sweet. Thanks for watching!
We are currently eyeballing July 30 to release the Rainbow Extravaganza products on our website. Stay tuned to our social media accounts to stay up to date.

F A Q S
Why doesn’t your video have a recipe and supply list? This video is not a tutorial.
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 Soapers Choice, Wholesale Supplies Plus, and Sam’s Club.
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.

Hi everyone! Comments are once again being held for approval. I just don't want you all to see some of the horrible comments that I'm receiving…so I'm going to stop them before they're public. I know many children watch my videos with their parents and I would just be heartbroken for a child to be exposed to that. Let's keep the comment section fun and positive! It's just soap! 🙂
This may be an odd question but I have to ask. I noticed with the soap or is that make very large batches your stick lenders go very deep into it. Is there ever an issue with the liquid getting inside the stick blender. I’ve always thought that maybe if your batch was too deep it would ruin your stick blender
I’m so glad the comments are on. I want to tell you that I admire you so much. I’m sorry people are causing you to turn them off. A lot of us really appreciate you. I’ve had many questions on your videos but the comments were always off. I’m really sweet like you and I would probably turn them off too.
I'm just getting into soap and wanting to start making my own. This is beautiful! I really enjoy your channel and seeing the process.

Your soaps are amazing👌🏽
So sorry you’re dealing with awful comments. I love your videos. In fact I want to start soaping because of you!
You're an inspiration! How do you keep from getting to warm with long sleeves in July?
My daughter makes customized tumblers and she tells her customers that each tumbler will be slightly different because it's hand crafted; just like your soaps.
Are your succulents CP or melt and pour? I'd like to make melt and pour leaves and things to put on top like that, but I'm afraid my wire soap bar cutter won't cut through the melt and pour! Any tips?
I absolutely love watching your videos , I’m new to soap making so using the melt and pour to start with until my confidence has grown. You are an inspiration thank you x
