I’m so sorry people , I hate to do this but you can’t add dry flower buds to melt and pour soap ,, MP rehydrates the dry petal and it rots, it creates mold .. 🙈
would it be ok to use coffee instead of flowers or would it do a similar thing? I was bought some melt and pour soap as a gift and not sure what to do with it.
@@katiedale6635 I've added used coffee grounds to my melt and pour soap -- a little goes a long way, and you need to dry the coffee grounds thoroughly before using them. I let mine sit out on plate for a few days. It makes an abrasive soap that I find good for exfoliating. Careful not to use too much or it is a painful soap lol
The expensive Bath and Body Works aromatherapy soaps I purchased have the same raw ingredients *inside of the entire bar. No mold in shower and it's so beneficial. I do not know if they have lye but it states all natural and I have seen other flower buds (lavendar) on the top layer of melt and pour soap and it's fine.
Plz do more soap and diy skin butters.. all your recipes are easy to follow.. my diy Melt and pour soaps tend to sweat after storing them for a while.. I use rose shape mold.. how to prevent this?
Thank you so much for this step by step tutorial. I am a newbie soap maker and your video really helps me to understand how to do it without complexity
Dried lavender in soap can turn brown and ends up looking like mouse poop. It will take a few days in the soap for that to happen. I would be very careful of using lavender. It is said that using alcohol on them will keep them from turning brown, however it doesn't work. All other items to add in will work well!
@@ouroilyhouse I believe it does depend. I belong to a lot of Facebook soap groups and they all say the same thing, to not use it due to turning brown. It may take a few days or even longer, is what they say. Sadly there are no guarantees on lavender.
@@ababytaleportraits1103 Usually melt and pour you don't have to let it age. However it's recommended to let it age a couple weeks or so as it the soap will last longer. Hope you don't mind I answered this! I have made a lot of melt and pour soaps and it's awesome! Literally can be used right out of the mold.
I’ve never made soap before but this looks pretty easy; would love to try it, but I’ve never been brave enough to. Always seemed hard and like it took forever but this recipe sounds so easy! Will check out your blog. Thanks for posting!
If you wanted to use coffee grounds should you use fresh or the ones after you have made a pot of coffee? Do you need to be concerned about it molding?
Just so ya'll know, not every essential oil is safe around infants and toddlers. No matter the sensitivity of the skin, the effect on tiny lungs can be dangerous. Do your research before experimenting.
I can’t find my last comment;) To add to it...I’ve never made soap before. We have a grapefruit tree in the yard. I dislike throwing away all of that wonderful smelling grapefruit peel. So I thought I could try making soap with grapefruit peel zest! Do I need to dry it out or can I use it fresh? The simpler the better. Which base would you recommend for this? I was thinking straight up castile soap? No allergies to note. Also how many drops of grapefruit essential oil? I wasn’t planning on adding any color to it. Thank you!
Thank you for the beautiful video. I am actually excited to start making some. I do have a question, however, how would this be considered 'all natural' when the shea butt, melt and pour brand, has titanium dioxide in it? Thank you.
Hey young lady I'm so glad I found your can you... I would love to learn to make soap but I was very discouraged by all the difficult chemicals like Lye😢 What if I just want to make a melt & pour soap that's just great for your skin and leaves it smelling great 😊 Can I use infused oils... I hear calendula is good for your skin can I make a soup from my infused oil with the soap base?
Love the video Laura! I’ve made soaps twice now since watching this but I can not find small envelopes like you showed to gift them in! Can you remember where these came from?? 😊
Hey Laura!!! I wanted to know where should I buy organic essential oils to put in my soaps that i will make? I was looking on amazon. However, I was told I shouldn't order from amazon.
Can I give you some advice? I wouldn’t have cut the soap on the plate or at least a a glass one. Because soap is pretty tough so if you try to cut through it and it slips, your going to jab through the glass plate and break it
I'm not sure I'd mine came out wrong because I microwave it or because I didn't use enough oils or honey but it has this weird rubber feel when I use it and doesn't lather much
can you Waite till the soap gets thicker to put in the mold so may be you can make it not be so flat and make like a wave design on top and can you add color and does the soap bar have lye in it already . sorry for so many questions
Hey Laura.. It's just so good.. I am definitely going to try this out for me and my family.. Thank you so much.. Lots of love from me to you.. Have a great weekend ahead
You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I would love any help you can offer me.

Tracy Ben I’ve found that using silk ones are ok, but I honestly stay away from the real flowers and make soap embeds of flowers and also they’ve water Soluble paper that you can print your flowers out and put it in your soap
Fresh flowers are going to get brown and yucky, because it's sitting in the soap while it withers so it isn't the best option. I think that dried flowers are not going the same effect and is going to be pretty. But they still are going to be inside the soap and it may stick to your body while you are using them.
Could you please maybe invest in a microphone it’s kinda echoing when you talk love your easy DIY video’s please upload more. 😊 if you spritz the top with alcohol it will keep air bubbles from settling in on the top or inside your soap the alcohol does not stay it goes away but it does help with air bubbles which will form on the soap and can make them not so pretty especially if you are giving them as gifts this comes from a soap maker so I just thought I would throw that out there. 😊
Hi... Thank you for your cool video. Im curious about something by the way, can we use this soap after we make those soap bar without resting it like we make soap from the saponification method?
Thanks for sharing! True, they are really pretty when first made but using botanicals in the MP soap, it rots. Calendula and Cornflower botanicals do not rot. Rose petals and lavender for sure does rot. I found this out when I first started.
Thank you so much for this video. I want to make my own soap s and shampoo. Due to things being so high right now... So glad I found your channel. Manu blessings
Do you know where I can find ways to make soap base just using almond milk? And how to make goat base. I've been looking and searching I can't find anything. I hope you reply^^
@Mai I recently found a great site called natures garden and candles. They have two pounds of a bunch of different kinds of soap base. They are so affordable! Plus they have a kit for 30$ with everything you need. You can make 18 soaps with their kit. I just bought one to try out. I hope your having success with your soap making!
I made eight bars of this soap and i love, love, love it. First time making soap and i am so happy with it. My skin feels so nice and soft and the soap smells amazing. My one question is what can i do so the next batch is more sudsy? My husband likes lots of suds.
I used melt and pour before and some lavanders to top it off. They turned brown eventually. Is there a right temp for melt and pour soapbase where it is ok to put dried flowers already and not turn brown?
Doesnt the dried flowers bother you when you wash your hands and what happens to it when using the soap - do they fall off? I would love to try the dried lavender but dont know about the buds...
I’m so sorry people , I hate to do this but you can’t add dry flower buds to melt and pour soap ,, MP rehydrates the dry petal and it rots, it creates mold .. 🙈

Are you now making own Soap?
The crazy thing is you have the same voice as an old friend of mine 😮 that’s so wild great vid tho
@OurOilyHouse is Melt and Pour soap just as good as making it with Lye?
Yes, it just isn't from scratch.

Titanium Dioxide isn't synthetic. It's a naturally occurring metal found in Earth.

Thank you for this Video i will try this today. I have used rose paddles and so far my soap has not mold. Thank you again
Awesome video! Do you have to wait any time for "curing" before using after it hardens in the mould for a couple of hours?
Does anyone see her link to Amazon? I just need the plastic container that looks similar to a plant watering pot.
Does anyone else have an issue with their homemade soap bars foaming in the bath or shower? My bars don't form a lather. What I doing wrong?
I'm not sure I'd mine came out wrong because I microwave it or because I didn't use enough oils or honey but it has this weird rubber feel when I use it and doesn't lather much
what are your stats on a bar? your cost per bar and how long does a bar last? and are you using dotera oils?
Can you smell the honey? Would just Lavender and Honey smell good or would you need the other to help compliment them both
The lavender honey smell great!
What I you use fresh flower petals? Same thing they will rot?
Just bought a bunch of stuff for this! So excited! Thanks for making it seem so easy and for linking everything for us :)
You are so welcome!
@@ouroilyhouse hi! does this siap lather or foam?
Does it matter at what temperature to put the oil in. I read at 130 but my was starting to get hard

Geoguard needs to be added so your Lavander doesn't mold!
Can you mix cocoa butter? I love this!! It's cheaper than buying goat soap
I am actually experimenting with that now for a shampoo bar. Stay tuned!
Why didn’t you spray it with alcohol
I absolutely love your channel 😍 I can’t believe I JUST found it!
Thank you so much!!
I didn’t realize there were so many moisturizing blends to choose from. This is going to be fun!

Can I add milk to my soap?
Remember everyone that when using real flowers they turn brown in the soap and get yucky
ok now im scared to use flowers

Can you melt it in the microwave??
Ohhhh I love you for this video so helpful and straight to the point also easy to follow
Thank yoU!
can i use vaporizer oil to homemade soap
I know that there's lye in the melt and pour you suggest. Do you have any soap recipes without lye?
You can't make a soap bar without lye.
Loveeee all your videos! Thanks for all the great and helpful content you provided for us “newbies” out here lol

Can I add vegetable glycerine
You are represented the future me and the life I want to live and the person I want to be 😅💛
Thank you very much Laura! 💖 Great explanation and showing how to make melt and pour soaps with absolutely any details needed! Many thanks! 🌹💞
You're welcome!!
Can I mix different soap bases in my recipe ? Like goatmilks base with aloe base in one soap
Yes!
Could you add dried herbs to this? I grow and dry lemon thyme and think it would smell amazing. I am going to try making soap for a baby shower favor.
Yes you can!
No, you can’t! They will turn dark and they will cause mold. Don’t do it!
This is awesome. Does the melted soap need to cool down before adding the oils? TIA 😊😊
Just slightly
Thank you very much. Your process is easy and to do it at home. I need it more of the items of making them. Thank you once again.
You are so welcome!
Hey loved this video. I wanted to make a vegan one, would I just have to leave the honey out? Thanks

Honey or sugar. Add in one teaspoon per lb of soap.
So pretty! Can’t wait to try this!
Thank you! I love it!

Could you share a measurement of how many essential oils and additives which is suitable for a certain amount of base?
Can you plz do more soap recipes.. I love your channel
I have a Christmas soap post coming soon!
Can I do this in the microwave? I saw someone else do it but I don’t know if all soap can be melted in the microwave. Can it?
Very nice soap dear. Have 1 Query. Does dry flower petals or buds will form any mold in soaps??
Thank you very much for the recipe. My melt and pour soap gets some bubbles on the top after it solidifies. What should I do to avoid this problem.
I made eight bars of this soap and i love, love, love it. First time making soap and i am so happy with it. My skin feels so nice and soft and the soap smells amazing. My one question is what can i do so the next batch is more sudsy? My husband likes lots of suds.
I am so glad you like it! It depends on the soap base you use.
@@ouroilyhouse Which soap base would you recommend?
Sorry to say.
You go on talking about here and there, but you don't come on the topic. Making your viewers to wait long to listen the actual matter.
Thank you so much Laura. I really appreciate this video. Opened me up for the soap making world
Spitz with alcohol will help with the bubbles on top before it gets hard...love the ideas of different types that you have
I used melt and pour before and some lavanders to top it off. They turned brown eventually. Is there a right temp for melt and pour soapbase where it is ok to put dried flowers already and not turn brown?
So did you leave the soap out or put it in the fridge?
It can stay out at room temperature.
Doesnt the dried flowers bother you when you wash your hands and what happens to it when using the soap - do they fall off?
I would love to try the dried lavender but dont know about the buds...
Where do you find the lavender buds and the chamomile, is there a place online that is good to but from? Love your videos!
hey really nice but can you tell me what about the bubbles, how to remove them without using alcohol as i really do not want to use it.thanks
We're do you get your soap bace
I have them linked, amazon
If someone is allergic to bees can they still use honey
I think it depends on the person!
