I do a TON of shopping for soap supplies online and eBates lets you get rebates at nearly every major online retailer, including Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. I literally save money just by opening up a tab in my browser via their link. I have already received a check from them within the first month so I just thought I would let you guys know about this since we soap makers and DIYers buy so much online! Plus, it's free! Yippee! :D

Whenever Caleb and I travel, we try our best to stay in Airbnbs. It's WAY cheaper than getting hotels and are often more personalized, comfy, and unique. We literally have stayed in absolutely amazing, private homes for $35 a night! You can use the link below to get $40 travel credit when you sign up. :)

As a chemist, I can tell you that your safety rules for lye are pretty much standard operating procedure for laboratories and are excellent. The only thing I would recommend is that metal lye storage containers not be sealed tightly until the solution has cooled, otherwise the pressure buildup due to the reaction heat might cause trouble. The plastic containers can expand enough to compensate. 👍👩🏼🔬
Absolutely! Our solutions never reach over 105 degrees so this isn't a problem for me personally but for folks that don't prep with ice, they need to follow this advice!
Thank you for the information about when it is safe to seal the containers!
@@RoyaltySoaps how do you measure your ice, do you weigh the water then freeze? and do you do that in the same plastic jug?
@@SLCCherryChill I had the same question in mind. While browsing for the answer I found one soap maker who said in a video she'd be measuring the weight if the ice. But ... I would feel much more relaxed, if Katie could confirm this 😅
@@juliavasak8099 agreed!! i was reading that the weight of water is different when frozen and when she does a 40 or 50% i would love to know how she is certain on the amounts. :)
Almost 7 years ago, I came across a RUclips channel of a young lady making soap, as I was trying to figure out how to best way to help my family members who were dealing with some pretty irritating skin issues. (Mainly, my three year old granddaughter, at the time.) This young lady put me at ease, as I watched and listened to her. I was so scared, in my mid-40s, to even go *near* lye, let alone work with it, so I started playing with Melt & Pour. But watching this young lady, who referred to herself as "The Duchess of Suds", have a guest in a video, she referred to as "The Queen", which was her Mom, Bonnie, I began to feel more and more at ease, as I connected more and more with the lovely woman I've come to adore and know as Katie! Here I am, almost 7 years later, running my own bath & body business, pouring candles and wax melts, and learning new things *still* watching this now married Mommy! Thank you Katie!!
Omg you made me 😢!! So awesome
Thank you for sharing your testimony! This was inspiring!❤️
😢💎she's a gem
I’m honestly terrified to pour lye in my house. Thinking of setting up outside.
@@lacigalvanssleepmeditation8160 Don't be! As long as you're wearing the proper safety equipment, and you're in a well ventilated area with no kids, pets or distractions, everything will be fine! Take the leap!
Me: Has no intention of ever making soap.
Also me: Royalty soaps has new video about Lye, I need to watch that.
Same ❤️😂💟
My son did a lye soap science fair project. He’s 11 and earned second place! You were the o e who inspired. His interest!
Ami K 👍🏽
She didn't give u a heart towards yr comment but I sure will! Wow u go mom. 🤘🕊
That's amazing!
So neat! Which part of soap making did his science experiments study?
I love this so much.
remember, yall, lye may be basic, but its not that kind of basic
Katie in the van is the best thing I've ever seen. 😂
I LOVE her sense of humor😂😍
Katie driving in full soaping attire is my current Christmas mood.
*I'M SCARED AND UNPREPARED*
I just died when Katie “cleaned her counter clutter” 😂 Not a problem anymore 😉
You sweeping those containers off the table is a M O O D.
Literally pouring up my lye solution for soaps tomorrow and got this alert 🚨
The world is trying to tell you that your doing it wrong.
JK. XD
As a chemist, I am here for this kind of video!
THIS is my moment. I am capable, I am safe and I'm gonna do great!
-Katie Motivational Moments
I don’t plan to make soap but this is interesting. And Katy I love that hair style on you.
One quick edit I would add, is that the pants you wear should not be 'skintight'. You want to wear loose fitting pants so that the pants don't keep the lye on your skin if your solution gets on them.
Thanks for that note!❤️
or a long front apron
Thanks :) I have a question regarding lye, is it safe to touch your soap after 24 hrs of making it without gloves?
So much good information for people who are interested in making soap. You covered all the concerns and questions. Wish this existed when I started soaping. 👍🏻
A while back, when I was in pharmacy school, we did a saponification lab. My professor taught us this rhyme:
Lye into water, like you oughter.
Water into lye, you might die.
I still think of that every time I soap.
#1- those buns are so dang cute!
#2- I love the #TheRoyalCreativeAcademy videos! You’re a blast to watch and it’s always worth it to see if we can pick up any new tips or tricks for our own soap making from the master!
"The lye will EAT IT!" 😂 😂 😂 That hand motion though!
Misty Marsh i watched it 6 times😂
I’ve mixed lye water solution with wood chopsticks before (just to stir) and they come out all gnarled and bent. So yeah I definitely wouldn’t use fancy wooden spoons.
Yay! That was my very favorite (next to the driving demo, also brilliant).
omg Katie doing beginner tutorials!!! the best christmas gift :')
You have no idea how badly I needed this video. I've been scared to jump into cold process soap making cause of my fear of lye lol
I had everything I needed to make cp soap for almost 2 months before I was brave enough to make my 1st batch! I was so nervous about working with the lye and my husband was paranoid and kept telling me we were going to kill our kids and cats! He still say it but jokingly now as we are very careful with the lye. Looking forward to more instructional videos! 👏🏼👏🏼
👍🏻
Thank you for saying to NOT use vinegar to treat a lye burn! I STILL see people telling others to do so. :)
And then when someone corrects it in the comments there is an argument till someone posts the msds for lye lol. It still astounds me that so many don't understand that dealing with something on a surface is different than on your skin. Thanks Katie for telling the internet the correct way! Lol.
As someone who has worked in labs with many many different chemicals, it is incredibly important to LABEL ALL THE CONTAINERS! Chemical, concentration, date, and initials were the bare minimum for my work.
Idk if another chemist has already pointed this out, but these safety procedures are amazing, and the gold standard for any lab! You didn’t mention it in the video, but I really appreciate that your shoes weren’t running shoes with mesh; running shoes are designed to breathe, and it doesn’t give you enough time to remove your shoe before the lye can get to your feet.
Your car driving sequence is too cute! I'm chuckling.
She's so wholesome. Must protect.
Safety is a must! Always when dealing with any chemicals! Better safe than sorry.
This was awesome Katie!! I am studying to be a biochemist so I work with plenty of chemicals day by day and you were great about being safe but also being comfortable! Being too nervous can make the situation even worse sometimes
Watching your videos in May 2021, from India. Cold processed soaps have recently become a trend in India & I am so glad that I found your channel. You are truely inspiring & so talented. You teach very well & make everything so clear. I wish I was able to buy ingredients from your mentioned links to amke exact copy of your soaps, but unfortunately they will cost me a bomb. So I will have to find them in India :(
But lots of love to you & keep up the good work. Keep inspiring :)
And of course this is right after i made my first batch of soap.
Did so much research and this is so super helpful!! And so much information.
Hey there lovely peoples. I have paused this video at 3:00 minutes because I totally and absolutely completely lost my already tenuous ability to concentrate - Con-cen-trate -
Watching Ms Katie’s academy award winning performance regarding the similitude of first time driving and first time soap making .....well...my brain kinda imploded. I was laughing so hard, especially the post reversing “thumbs up” face. Man, I’m still giggling 🤭 now.
If Lye safety wasn’t so important (AND IT IS PEOPLE), then I could imagine you doing the video entirely in the “style” of a late night, “As Seen on TV” infomercial - but wait, there’s more.
Thank you for these videos, I am just starting my own soap journey, and I’m just a little bit excited 😜. I’m slowly acquiring the necessary equipment, taking my first steps on the path that you have defined and made clear for me and everyone else. But hey, I’m getting distracted - I just wanted to say that....Girl, you really made me laugh so thanks for that. Big love to you and yours, from me, Eve, in Newtown, Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🐿.
This video is not only full of great info, but such fun too! Loved the driving the van clips and when Katie cleared all the containers off the tabletop, too funny! Thanks for the great content!
This is the first tutorial I have seen that recommended using ice, I like that idea!
I really appreciate this video! I recently ordered some lye to make soap, but I have been dealing with cold feet about actually getting started. This video is perfect
Once you take the plunge, you'll never look back!! You're hooked😁💞
Word to the wise thought- learn how to use a lye calculator before following any recipe. All soap recipes are made by people and people make mistakes sometimes.
*VICTORY SCREECH* Oh my gosh! I'm so excited to learn this! And especially from you!!
Omg I feel so comfortable learning from you.
Feels like a class with your favorite teacher
Love this! I just love watching you soap and wont so it myself but this was SO informative and great to watch!
