    I started making CP a little less than two years ago. I became inspired like you from seeing bramble berry and few others making it. I started with melt and pour and saw those neat intricate designs and wanted to try it. I was terrified messing with the lye and now it’s second nature to me and we have a small family run business. We’re doing our state fair for the first time and it’s an 11 day event.

    I love hearing everyone's stories on how they ended up as a soap maker! For me it started almost 7 yrs ago when I was trying to find a sunscreen that I was allergic too and it lead me to someone making their own and then that lead me to soap queen and soaping 101 and royalty soaps and like you I diced into the whole process and watched every video I could 😅 and now half my living has been designated as my soaping area loll

    If u freeze ur water into ice cubes when u add lye to the ice it does not release ANY fumes at all. Not even a little. Try it, u will never have to worry about accidentally breathing that in and I don’t have to worry about airing the room either. I can’t inhale any fumes at all. Doing that is a game changer.

    Omg! Soap Queen TV was my first introduction to bath bombs! I was looking to start making and selling bath bombs when I came across SQTV - now Bramble Berry. My bath bomb recipe was from her recipe and it was a great success. I did stop making them as well as butters and scrubs, but all my ingredients came from her and new aromatics(Canada?). Thanks for sharing and the inspiration - who knows, I may get back into it!

I make bath salts, lip balms, room sprays, candles etc already so have some making experience, but not soap yet. Thoughts?

    I found this to be very informative and easy to follow. With this recipe, using the lye, once the bars are set and cut, can they be used right away or do they need to sit for a bit (and how long) for the it to be safe enough for the lye chemical not to bother/burn the skin?

    • @JerikaZimmerman
      @JerikaZimmerman  3 месяца назад +1

      I usually go to the reviews of the fragrance oil to see from other soap makers if a fragrance oil “sticks” in soap for a long time. You can check out the Fragrance oils from bramble berry’s website - most have a lot of reviews. Bramble berry also has a handy calculator that will tell you how much fragrance oil to add to get a light, medium or strong-smelling product.
