Thank you, and yes, they are affordable! I also get my large metal bowls from there. Also, congratulations again ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so happy for you and your husband!
Thank you! very interesting. I'm recently on an all natural skin care journey and this is really helpful for personal use. I'm also wondering if can you make a video showing the amount of lather or at least what the soap looks like in use. this would be a perfect addition to my all natural magnesium oil spray deodorant!👍🏽💜
Hello, thank you for your comment. That’s an excellent idea! I actually have a few on my Instagram showing my skincare routine. You can check them out there, and I will make sure to record some lather videos and upload them here or as shorts. So keep an eye out because I will probably do it within a few weeks! Also, I agree these homemade soaps are great additions if you’re looking to avoid synthetic ingredients and build up your all-natural products ❤️ I really appreciate your feedback!
Hi! I want to make soap for my own use...for now. I am planning my first and second bars to be cold process coconut with a 20% superfat and then a bastille soap with coconut and olive oil. So far i only ever made melt and pour, but it is so pricy and the bars are not hard enough like how i like them. Tyfs!
Congratulations 🎉 It sounds like you have a great recipe! And you're right-there's a big difference between cold processing and melt-and-pour. I've never made melt and pour before. But, once you master cold press, you‘ll have the skill and confidence to move on to anything you want in skincare, like lotions and creams.
I have a qustuon I'm new to this i made 3 batches and all 3 took foreve to harden i didnt add salt can i add any pink salt or is it a specific brand of pink salt or Himalayan salt? I should add to it, and I need measurements.Please I appreciate so I know how much salt to add and what size are those loaf molds ?❤
Hello, are you making castile soap (just using Olive Oil as the base)? Any salt, like table salt, will do. My loaf molds weigh 5 lbs each. I'm not sure of the right amount of soap to add, but I'm sure once you know what size your molds are, you can probably Google it. Please let me know how it turns out and what you find.
Thank you! I use the Unscented or the Rose Water & Chamomile the most. What really helps is my Rose Water Mist and the Rosehip Oil. I use them everyday. Once I start using all 3 it made a huge difference.
@@tallyjacobi5247 thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Castile soap can have a longer curing time depending on the recipe you use. Before I actually started making it I heard it could take 6 months to a year to cure however I have never experienced that. I use salt, which really helps to harden the bar, and I've found that it makes it ready to use in a few days, just like other soaps. I will say castile soap and maybe other kinds, like wine or cheese, get better as they age. There are bars that, for one reason or another, sat for a year, and when I tell you 👏🏽👏🏽there was such a difference in the lather!!!! So, I will say they don't need a year to cure fully and are safe to use, but they perform better the longer they sit. I hope this answer is helpful.
Hi sister , God bless you and family. Can you please help with any advice. How to advertise your first handmade product and where? Especially when it comes to natural products such as soap or cosmetics? Is it good to share products first? Also as a christian believer do you recommend biblical quotes or regular label name?🤔😇
Hello! Thanks so much for leaving this comment. First, I pray that the Lord will lead you and endow you with wisdom as you navigate this new space as an entrepreneur. I pray that your heart and ears are open to His voice🙏🏽 I recommend letting those who love and support you know what you sell. They are not expected to remain long-term customers, but their initial purchase can get the ball rolling. Next, I recommend you use social media (Instagram, Facebook, RUclips, and TikTok). It’s free and a great way to document your journey. Pray the Lord leads you on which one to start with as a main platform and what you will post there. Also, gather emails from people who buy or display interest in shopping with you in the future and build your email list. Don't neglect local markets, fairs, and events. I have samples available (small samples). I will make a video on how I make mine. So subscribe and turn on the notification. You may find the video helpful. Regarding the names, I use both Biblical names and regular names based on the ingredients-either works. I always use the soap and pray, so add this to your prayer as well. If you have any more questions, please let me know!
@@therealnoblewoman Dear sister, thank you so much for this generous comment. You are correct. I will research all information. And see your videos. Yes first time is difficult. I was wondering is it okay to leave mini examples of products in any kind of stores. For example leave soap or massage oils in cosmetis salons or barber shops etc Sorry if Im asking too much
You don't have to apologize. I'm here to answer questions as best I can. When you say, “Is it okay?” Whose standpoint are you speaking from because you’re the business owner? You make your own rules and marketing strategy. If you mean from the salon owners' perspective, I would definitely suggest speaking with them and letting them know your idea.
@@therealnoblewoman Yes you are right. I mean not all beauty salons or hairsalons want even take to consider your product. I mean some products as soaps even a totaly different store will take and marketing you ,like Photo studios or regular Pattiserie cookie store. From opinion of yours, how small should be sample products ? Is it ok to request a litlle review , so they can tell you which is the best ,and to contact you? Or just leave a contact? Also labeling, how label the simpliest way? God bless you dear 🙏🏼🕊️
Hello, you want to find a store that aligns with your product. So, a bakery may or may not be the right choice. I did a video on how I make my soap samples. I answer a lot of questions you may have in that.
Hi, can you help me learn using 50/50 ice & water. Should I use the ice, will I weigh the cubes as is. Example, 5 cubes weighs ( hypothetically) 5grams. I then would pour 5 grams of water. I'm so scared to start making soap all bc of this Lye. Ugh
Hello Talisa! Great question. Please don’t be scared of the lye. The fact that you are slightly afraid lets me know that you will take the necessary precautions. Gloves and protective eyewear are a must. Wearing long sleeves and closed-toe shoes would also be helpful. I hope I’m not making it worse lol. This started out as a homeschool project, and my (at the time) 9, 10, and 14-year-olds all did fine-no burns and I’m confident you will do fine, too! Okay, now to your question. If the recipe called for 10 grams of water, to do the 50/50 water and ice, you would divide the number by 2 and do half water and half ice. So you would measure 5 grams of ice and then add the remaining 5 grams of water in the same container, making it 10 grams because the ice will melt into the water anyway. So, for your example, if the recipe calls for 5 grams of water - you would use 2.5 grams of water and 2.5 grams of ice to meet the required 5 grams. Also, I like to put a paper towel down and then the scale when measuring out the lye just in case there is a little spillage. Let me know if this helps and if you have more questions!
@@therealnoblewoman is cold soap a proper answer? I subscribed to a monthly soap that will send the bar of month along with pdf that includes ingredients and recipes. This month appears to be a hot process soap. It sends out the 28th.
Hello, there are a ton of recipes online and on RUclips. I would suggest starting with the kind of soap you want to make or some ingredients you want to use, like - coffee soap, shea butter soap, homemade soap, three-ingredient soap, or how to make Castile soap.
Thanks so much for sharing 😊im going to try your recipes 😊
Great, they are available at www.thenoblewoman.com
Hi
How long do you cure your bars, those with and without salt?
Thanks
Hello, all my bars are made with salt and they cure for 3 days.
Great video! I really need to visit the restaurant store for containers.
Thank you, and yes, they are affordable! I also get my large metal bowls from there.
Also, congratulations again ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so happy for you and your husband!

Hope measurements is important tell me how you measure the ingredients pls
Hello, measurements are very important and differ with each recipe.
Hello. Where did you find your soap mold with the blue liner?
Hello, from Amazon, just looked up 5lb soap mold.
