I make mines with organic oatmeal and grinded into powder and added in the soap while it's melting ... I also add organic coconut oil and almond oil scent. For the color I prefer to use natural colors from flowers or fruits.
I'm a complete beginner but wanted to make some quick lavender soap from some of my own lavender, so actually for me, this video was perfect for me. Thanks very much.
glycerin is an organic substance it’s only synthetic when you have petroleum as a foundation. Essential oils are natural . And you have harmless dye on the market as well.
You can lightly spray the bottom of containers/molds with rubbing alcohol so that the soap pops out easier - it also helps to remove surface bubbles once your soap is in your mold.
I am very interested to make soap,but never tried..so in contrary to all the comments,I find this very useful for us beginners and thank you for this video..I will try the same until I make it possible to go with the lye!
There is nothing wrong with MP soaps. There are some really good bases on the market these days. More natural ingredients, than before. I would be cautious about adding food items. You don't want mold or bacteria to form, esp due to water content. All melt and pour soap is glycerin soap. If you really want a more natural MP, make your own base. I think of MP as more of an art form, than soap making. There are some amazingly talented MP soapers. It takes patience, and lots of talent to make some of the beautiful creations. Ppl stop critising the video. I'm a seasoned soap maker, and I'm not here to criticize her..I would be cautious about calling it organic. You can buy organic bases, but not organic dyes. Try natural colorants. Also, you didn't spritz the top with alcohol, to reduce bubbles, after pouring.
Thank you. I was born in Australia and moved to the States at the age at 22. Since working on TV shows I've had to make sure I'm articulating my words. :)
Been wanting to try soap making for a while. I think I'm going to use this video as my staple to look too. Thank you for finding a way to make butter that does not include lye.
Thank you for the video. I want to make soap. You made it easy to make a start. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel I just want a fun 2 Hour project and they would make lovely gifts.
I really enjoyed watching this video. You have a very pleasant personality, while doing the demonstration. Thank you for showing us how to make natural soap! It sure looks easy to make. I can't wait to make my own!
Great video! Thanks for posting!! You made it soo easy to start with custom soaps which inspired me into it. I made my first soap with Goat Milk Base and lavendar oil, adding dried rose petals. For some reason the petals immediately turn green. Any idea?
This soap is beautiful and I imagine it smells delicious. I'm not sure whether I'm being a complete incompetent with this question but don't these natural ingredients clog up the drain or are we supposed to pick them out as they become loose. Are they just for aesthetics? I can't imagine it feeling too great to wash with these. Also, do they rot after a certainly amount of time?
I for one am very grateful for this video - thanks! Most videos seem to use lye (Caustic Soda / Sodium Hydroxide) which doesn't sound too natural. At least this video keeps it simple.
Thank you so much Curry and a Pint. This means a lot to me. I'm just a mum having some fun! Infact I was 5 months pregnant with my second baby in this video. :)
So pretty and easy!! Thank you for making that so simple and easy to understand instructions. Wish I had seen this before I spent $60 on soap molds....I've got everything I need. Time to just go for it!! :)
Dene Yung thanks! whenever I am searching for it through online shops, what I always see are essential oils for scent diffuser. I don’t know where to buy one.
deianira tibus You can purchase organic essential oils that can be used in skin at natural stores like Whole Foods. Be careful with some of them like cinnamon cause it burns like hell on regular skin so you definitely do want it on your sensitive bits.
@@AtHomeWithDidiayerOfficialPage Oh that makes more sense! I didn't mean it in a bad way I was just curious to see if anyone noticed! Thanks for responding!
Um- everyone is making comments about how she sounds American and Australian...I get the same comment all the time as I grew up in Aus but live in America. It's annoying and nobody cares what she sounds like. Leave people alone. I'm not trying to be mean but it can be really offensive (I know first hand)
THANK YOU!!! I think I've addressed my accent more than soap making here! I moved here when I was 22 and married an American and work as a TV host, so my accent has soften. BUT, get me around a bunch of Aussie and a cold one and the good old accent is in rare foam. :)
So I can make soap without lye? Because the first beginner video I watched I was told I could go blind or some things If done wrong can be fatal or horrific...not really a great video for getting someone into soap making. It actually made me not want to do it anymore. I make candles and wax melts so I figured soap would be a great add to my line.
Hey people here, don't criticize her accent..so what if her accent is not american? Your not the only people in the world just you know..and you know what? People in other part of the world when they heard americans they think white..so if your black they think your from.africa..if your asian,hespanic they think you are not american..so stop criticizing her or judge her..you have no right..and before you criticize her making soap too.watch other video they also order and cut and then make their own..just like her doing...
That's happen to me before. I think it's because the soap has gotten hot too quickly. I just skim it off the surface after pouring when that happens. Also, pour it close to container so less air is collected.
right but she's subjected to the court of public opinion when she made this public y'all keep forgetting once you put your business out into the world you're asking the world to comment you're not always going to get good stuff learn to deal with it and grow up
@@philosophy_panther I know this was long ago but you sound ignorant, and need to grow up. by the way you talk I wouldn't be surprised if you were in the pesty paparazzi.
As an American who's lived in Australia and New Zealand and been around a lot of people from England, I just have to ask..... What on earth is your accent?? Have you lived in multiple countries and blended your accent or something?
Hi Lauren. I am Australian. Started traveling to multiple countries at at young age. Moved to America when I was 22. Work as a TV host on American shows that require me to soften my Aussie accent. My husband is American. That sums it up. It comes and goes - and honestly I'm just me, being me!
@@AtHomeWithDidiayerOfficialPage Nice! I was wondering if it was a blend 😊 I used to have a bit of a southern drawl being from Texas but my partner and his family are kiwis so now I have a mostly American sounding but occasionally kiwi sounding accent. It's interesting how it can change over time especially with certain words. Thank you for making this video and sharing 😉
That's very interesting! I also discovered a brand that worked so well. It's on my channel because I wasn't able to make it work as well as she did. Were you?
This is not making soap. You are buying soap. The soap base is just that....soap. You are just buying melt and pour soap base which is finished soap that you are just melting and adding ingredients. I make real soap and am searching for a recipe to make my own melt and pour and I keep hitting a wall.
I make mines with organic oatmeal and grinded into powder and added in the soap while it's melting ... I also add organic coconut oil and almond oil scent. For the color I prefer to use natural colors from flowers or fruits.
I love it. That sounds so cool. Would you like to share that recipe on our website?

Is there a RUclips video that we can watch??
Thank you for sharing ❤️

Awesome. We glad you liked it. Mix and pour soap making is fun!
glycerin is an organic substance it’s only synthetic when you have petroleum as a foundation. Essential oils are natural . And you have harmless dye on the market as well.
Harmless dye isn’t natural dye so this isn’t a natural product.
Yes but derived from vegetable oil.
You can lightly spray the bottom of containers/molds with rubbing alcohol so that the soap pops out easier - it also helps to remove surface bubbles once your soap is in your mold.
Great tips. Thanks Nicole! :)

Good for quarantine
I can’t tell if she’s American or Australian
Lexi Rowan why not both?
Lexi Rowan I thought the same thing
Yeah she probably lives many years in both countries
It is so hard to tell
@@ariel-4131 Hi, yes I was born and raised in Australia and moved to America when I was 22! :)
Your accent hints at possibly a kiwi background? It fluctuates our of American and New Zealander. It's lovely.
for me, it sounds more australian than NZ i might be wrong
Thank you. I was born in Australia and moved to the States at the age at 22. Since working on TV shows I've had to make sure I'm articulating my words. :)
@@AtHomeWithDidiayerOfficialPage - Oh I apologize, your accent seemed somewhere from that area. Thank you for clarifying 😊
I love your accent is so cute
Quick & Easy.. Turned Out Pretty. You can cut it into may different shapes..👍
Definitely!

Thank you Sally!
That green in the thumbnail photo is mold. The only flower petal that is allowed to be used in melt and pour is dry calendula, it will not cause mold.
Guys it's soap for people who want to make soap and have no experience. It's not for professionals it's just any easy way to make customized soap.
Thanks for saying so. People are very serious about soap making I've learned!
Great video 👍 short and sweet and easy to understand! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
homemade is always the best
Great video! Thanks for posting!! You made it soo easy to start with custom soaps which inspired me into it. I made my first soap with Goat Milk Base and lavendar oil, adding dried rose petals. For some reason the petals immediately turn green. Any idea?
Nital Shah You cannot add any kind of flowers lavender etc. it all turns brown
Thanks Nital. That has happen to me before. Be sure to remove all the green leaves and only leave the pedals! That will help.
This soap is beautiful and I imagine it smells delicious.

Are they just for aesthetics? I can't imagine it feeling too great to wash with these. Also, do they rot after a certainly amount of time?
Do the flowers brown eventually?
Over time the color does change.
this video was amazing, love the rose petals being incorporated
like this one easy steps and no mess and less products. saves my pennys.
How do you stop your botanicals from rotting, all botanicals in Melt and Pour soap other than calundula or corn flower rot
I suggest using them within 4 months, as the buds will rot in time.
I’m trying to make some soap to sell for some extra money just starting and I hope this helps
Enjoy! There are many ways to make great simple soaps.
I am obsessed with soap 🧼!!!
Me too 😍
What type of premade cut up soap did you use?
@t

Soap molds??
Beautiful but its going to turn brown and mold. Im looking for a tutorial with the use of preservatives for this reason.
Great video and easy to understand, Thanks
Awesome, but doesn't all the petals stop up drains? Help
That's great, continue educating people, & when you will come to Kenya, I will host you,
I think is smart and handy. Thanks!
Looking to make some all natural soap to heal burns. Wish me luck
Hi! What type of essential oil should we use for soap making? Is it the same with the essential oils used in a scent diffuser?
deianira tibus I’m gonna guess no unless you use the actual pure essential oils and not the cheap fragrant ones
Dene Yung thanks! whenever I am searching for it through online shops, what I always see are essential oils for scent diffuser. I don’t know where to buy one.

I like using these oils. amzn.to/2FISq8D

Great video, thank. How long would the soap keep for. Thinking of making for Christmas presents well in advance.
The rose is good for 4 moths, then we suggest using it because of the buds.
U are my soap soulmate of soap
Amazing😍😍 i wanna ask u a question how about if i do not find shea butter soap and goat s milk soap ?what should i use in this case plz!!

The soap base already has lye in it that way you dont have to worry about the chemical reaction needed to make soap, it's already done for you
Thank u so much this is Amazing and u are so Amazing! I hope u keep doing what u do!
Thank you soooo much Ezmae. That means a lot to me. I am hoping to do more video's soon! :)
Can someone please give me the exact recipe to make soap? I greatly appreciate it 💖
Please I want to make it
How do you get the scents ??? Like what store sells them
end result?
What is the name of the first item she cut the white one?
Hi Kathy it is an organic shea butter soap base that I am using.
What is the shelf life for this soap please?
As long as you keep them dry, they can sit for 4 months we have found with the rose buds.
@@AtHomeWithDidiayerOfficialPage thank you.
how natural is it with the article fragrance and colorant?
Fantastic ! I’ll try this as a new found skill and simple business online - fingers crossed ! Thanks for sharing . Stay safe and blessed ..
How to make soap base?
Thanks, minis the soap dye.
Dye is optional.
Natural or organic Shea butter is yellow, how come yours is white
Can you use food coloring.
I don't see why not. I mean we eat food dyes. It's up to you. Just have fun and play around with it!

Nice
Hi I made some soaps after a while it have transparent bubbly thing in the soap surface may I know the reason please....it is good to use ?
That's happen to me before. I think it's because the soap has gotten hot too quickly. I just skim it off the surface after pouring when that happens. Also, pour it close to container so less air is collected.
When spraying the melt and pour after putting it in the container , ensures there will be no bubbles once cool :)
I'm just not big on soap with chunks of stuff in it.
It can still be made without it if you prefer!
Did you just melt soap to make soap? Am I missing something?
No your not. Its not so much asking soap as its just melting and customizing already made soap
Who cares about her accent anyway? She took some time and effort to make this video,nobody forced you to watch it!
right but she's subjected to the court of public opinion when she made this public y'all keep forgetting once you put your business out into the world you're asking the world to comment you're not always going to get good stuff learn to deal with it and grow up

Misinformation: Babylonians were not the first ones to make soap!
How are you making soap if you buy premade soap bars hahaha
This soap will eventually go mouldy. Potential hazard. Botanicals cannot be added to melt n pour
Dislike, sorry too much taking about other random stuff
Try to wash yourself with that. It’s gonna hurt
Not at all. I use these soaps all the time an their great for the skin and hand washing.
Red dye is neither natural nor needed. Why? "thick but not too thick" is not a direction. Melting soap is not "making soap".
