(This is not the recipe used in the video but is one that I love. Our regular line of soaps do not contain palm oil. If you you want a palm free recipe, play around with adding more butters and/or olive oil.)
30% Lye Concentration
6% Super Fat
40% Olive Oil
20% Coconut Oil
10% Palm Oil (I look for Palm that is certified by Palm Done Right)
10% Rice Bran Oil
10% Castor Oil
10% Cocoa Butter
1tsp ppo* Sodium Lactate
*Per Pound of Oil
I soap at room temperature - which means the oils and the lye solution are in the 65-75 degree range.
Missouri River Soap is not responsible for any outcome that results from testing this recipe. Follow all safety precautions when handling sodium hydroxide and making cold process soap.

This video was indeed soothing... So nice! I'm sorry about your pup, that's sad.
Thank you!
IM sorry To READ aBOUT your pup, but what a créative way To work THROUGH your grief!😘please excuse my crazy tuning, my organisés IS on thé fritz
Awwww Riggs is running over that rainbow bridge he is a very good loyal dog! I lost a bunny yesterday Bobby Sue she was old but had such a good life..but ya i got sad n cried as we buried her! Farewell furry friends! Mmmm soul soothing soap making..Love this!🙏🐶🐰🌈
Thank you. I'm sorry for your loss as well. It sure is hard to lose our furry friends.
Whao! The creamy coloured white chocolate-like soap is it!
Oh Holly, I'm so sorry to hear that Riggs has crossed the rainbow bridge ♥️. He's no longer in pain and forever young 🐾.
Thank you 💓 I'm happy that he doesn't hurt anymore.
🐾🐾❤❤❤❤ I'm a newbie here & I already love it ...I've binge watched!
Oh I am just so glad! Thank you!
Sorry to hear about your Dobie. I feel your pain since I've myself had to have my Pit put down years ago & it still hurts my heart.
*For those curious* no she wasn't put down because she was viscous or anything. She was a love bug & a delight but she had a brain tumor that wasn't operable & had some serious seizures she couldn't come out of in the last hours of her life.
Thank you and I'm sorry for your loss as well. Pit Bulls are such wonderful and loving creatures. The heart hurt is really hard.
My condolences for Riggs' passing. It is painful when you lose a loved furry family member. Hope you take it easy for a couple of days.
That coffee soap looks like a luxurious treat for my skin! I love the smell of coffee and what it does for the skin. Coffee soaps are one of my few guilty pleasures!
Awww Holly I’m so sorry about Riggs I really am. Thanks for letting us know 🥲sending lots of paw love your way.💕💕
Thank you! So many of you loved him and were cheering him on. I wanted to let you all know too.
@@moriversoap Thank you I hope you all are ok I know how you must be feeling took me months to get over my girl. Take care Holly. 💕💕
The lemon poppie seed looks like a big piece of butter and I love it
Haha butter is a thing of beauty too!
sorry for your loss :( Your soul soothing soaps are so lovely and the coffee one looked like iced coffee to me yum! xx
Thank you. We just brought a new boy into our family. He's 7 months and has a very similar personality to Riggs. It just warms our hearts. I adore the coffee soap. It turned out just as I'd hoped.
Thank you for sharing! I am so sorry for your loss! We've experienced a lot here on the farm so I totally understand. Soul soothing soap making is a good call! ~jc
I'm so sorry you lost your sweet dog last April. I'm just watching this, but my heart still goes out to you for that hard moment. I've lost 2 pets in the past 5 years. It is not easy. Thank you for all of your lessons in soap making.
Awe thank you. I'm sorry for your losses as well. It's tough!
I absolutely love your videos. I binge watch them everyday. I really enjoy the pack and chat videos too! I fall asleep to them. You seem like such a sweet, genuine person! I think it would be so fun to help you pack, put labels on, etc.
Thank you Carly! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos!
I absolutely love using the utensil holder. I found those a couple months ago. They have changed my whole soaping life.
I'm so so sorry about your Puppy, Holly.. Sending loads of love and hugs! The soaps are beautiful! ♥
You certainly know your ingredients and Your always so Meticulous in your soap making! I like that!
Thanks so much!
Awww, I'm sorry about your dog. That's hard on the heart. Definitely a good time for a soul-soothing soaping day. Keeping you all in peaceful thoughts. Both of those soaps are deeeeeeeelightful.
I’m so sorry to hear about your baby! Sending prayers for you guys! Both of these soaps look amazing, nothing like making some good soap ❤️ Bella & Vicki
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Comforting prayers for you. RIP Riggs.
Thank you 💗
Your styling for the pictures is amazing! So pleasing to the eye.
Thank you! That means a lot to me!
They look amazing! I bet the coffee one is really good!
This is the first time I hear about anchoring the essential oils. Off to learn more!😅
Awesome! Glad you are willing to research it!
I love your videos. They're so soothing to the soul and your inspiration is breathtaking. Thank you for making these videos and wonderful soap bars for us to enjoy! My prayers for your family always. ❤🙏
Thank you Delanie! I had so much fun making these bars and they were most definitely soothing to my soul.
I love them both!! Can't wait until your next video Holly.
So sorry for your loss. My cat died 5 years ago and sometimes the grief still pops up unexpectedly.
It's so hard. We have a new Doberman now and he's so much like Riggs that sometimes it feels as if Riggs is still here.
Can you please please make more magnolia soap. I am in love with it. My skin smells so nice my husband keeps asking when your next soap releases is because he loves it too.
That's amazing! Thank you! I won't have the Magnolia back for a little while. I have some themed releases coming up next. That being said, I do happen to have a bar or two here still. I always hold back a little until I know all packages have arrived. Please send me an email so we can work on it. Thank you!
Fun video! I’m watching while I eat dinner by candlelight! 😁 Both soaps turned out a nice color, not too dark or too light.
Thank you Susan!
I love your Happy sounds when Making soaps I do The same when I am Pleased with stuff I create
Holly, I’m sorry about Rigs! It’s always such a difficult thing to go through! This was a lovely video.
Soul soothing is always a good idea when things are heavy! That's always what I think when you share your lovely farm on Instagram stories! My dad's calves are always too wild for petting and feeding, I love seeing your sweet guys! So sorry about Riggs! What a sweet boy gone too soon! Sending hugs!
Yes for sure! We have to nurture our hearts as well. 💓 My grandpa would roll in his grave if he knew how I was treating these cows. Haha! He would appreciate that they are being well loved and well cared for but ranchers usually prefer to keep them a bit wilder. One summer as a kid, he had a bottle calf and he assigned my cousin and I the duties of feeding this calf. Well, it was right after City Slickers the movie came out and so we named him Norman. Soon, I had him following me around and sucking on my hand the whole time. I got relieved of my calf duties. Haha!
Awe sweetie! I'm so sorry! I lost my cat yesterday and I'm struggling to want to even get out of bed. Sending love & prayers your way and I'm super sorry you lost your fur baby. Hugs, summer xo
I am so sorry to hear of your loss as well. I never knew it could be this hard. I ended up with some moderate health issues from crying so much and getting dehydrated. Take care of yourself!
Making my favorite soap soothes me.
R.I.P. Riggs 🐾🐕🍖❣
Your videos are so therapeutic.... and I think u should also start selling the molds on your website since your hubby makes them 😊😊
Thank you. I am so happy you enjoy my videos! Haha...I have to work some magic just to get him to build the ones I want. 😂
GREAT EXPLANATION AND SUGGESTIONS, THANKS FOR TAKING US ALONG SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!
Thank you for watching!
Holly, I’m so sorry about your fur baby! ❤ Animals are such special beings, it hurts too much losing them. But I know he was loved and had a great life at your family’s side. These bars came out amazing btw! When I travel to the US I’ll make sure to order some of your bars!! Hugs from Brazil
Thank you 💓
You are such an inspiration to me as a new soap maker. Lots of love
Yay! Thank you!
Great Video and always a pleasure to watch your soap making.
Thank you Karen!
Hahahaha 😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one who stands around just sniffing oils, I do that with my rosemary all the time, and my husband thinks I’m a freak show 😂
Haha that is half the fun!
So sorry about your fur baby Holly! It's so hard to lose them, they are family. Just lost a cat in the last month, she was young and we are not sure what she died from. You could make a dog inspired soap in his honor.🐾 Always love watching your videos, you're my favorite on youtube!😘
I am so sorry to hear of your loss Wendy. It's the hardest thing we've dealt with as a family. I'm thankful for that fact but it is still so hard.
I love the idea of a soap based on how you take your coffee! Such a sweet idea
The coffee soap smells so good too. I do like this 'more' natural version of coffee soap. It's much more authentically scented and it's soft, smooth, and comforting...like my morning coffee. Haha! I may try it without the little bit of fragrance or try to find a natural substitute for that. I am so glad it's morning and I can have my coffee soon. 😂
Hey! Holly sorry to hear this news. My condolences. I was shopping with my friend who saw a coffee soap..." Who would want that! " she said. It's ok I forgave her. 😀. Thanks as ever💜
I love your happy laughs❤️❤️
Thank you!
Oh Holly!!! I'm so very sorry!!! We love our pets as part of the family and I can tell your family loves your pets like part of the family as well!! It is so hard to say goodbye!! Wishing you happy memories and easing of your pain!!😢💕
Thank you Amber! Losing Riggs was the hardest thing I've gone through. I've experienced loss but losing an indoor dog was just at a whole different level.
So soothing, yes! I love the creamy and comforting soaps. I'm sorry to hear about Riggs, I remember some of the issues he was having over the winter (I've been out for a while, myself). Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Our fur buddies are a blessing while they're with us. We have a great Dane/pit mix that's showing his age, so we're getting him a puppy to both increase his happiness during his decline, and make it easier for us when he goes.
Thank you! It felt so good to make these soaps and of course, I'm super excited to start using them once they've cured. Getting a puppy sounds fun! I'm so thankful for our other two dogs. They've been very comforting.
I love all your videos but today you sounded more at home...your soap making soothes my soul. I love your soaps...the last one I bought was Sweet Pea and it is amazing. I wish you would give away or sell one each of these in a contest type way...I would enter it because I would love to have these scents. I am so sorry about Riggs...you should dedicate your rainbow collection to his memory. Thanks again for a wonderful visit.
Thank you Debby! That makes me so happy. I really do love to make the smaller batches that I can really focus on. I'm in full production this week and the big batches are just not as fun since they're so heavy.
This was so enjoyable and I always learn something new.🥰
Thank you Charly!
I'm sorry to hear about Riggs. Sending love, hugs, and prayers. Soul soap for your home is an amazing idea, after all you need to pamper yourself as well. Thank you for sharing. They turned out sooo pretty. Love them!
Thank you Lori! It's been so hard losing Riggs. Making these soaps helped me to get back into things.
@@moriversoap its therapeutic to me. I am extremely new to this and I have found it is very mind clearing. I feel your pain I remember when we lost our Tazzyboy. He was a full blooded Siberia husky. He was 12. Lived a looong life. Miss him everyday. Take time to heal. Emotionally and physically. Much love
Stunning Soap Holly! 💕
Thank you Leah!
Thank you do much for this video Holly!! I've been in quite a funk lately and its been hard to get motivated to make soap. I've been staring at two premeasured batches of olive oil gor a week to make a Castille soap. I'm going to take your advice and relax and make some soap for me. Hugs to you and you family about your furbaby.🙏💗
Thank you! Yes, sometimes we have to remember why we make soap and just get back to the fun part.
I love your videos, so relaxing. I tried your recipe you gave and I made a yogurt soap with it, its still curing, so I will let you know how I like it, but I'm totally sure I will 😊, I tried the cherry frosting one, i love 6% superfat for soaps, my skin love it! Hope you decide to throw in these soaps in your lineup. Thanks Holly and have a great day. Oh yeah, sorry about your dog hun, its very hard as they are like your kids. Stay safe 💕
Thank you so much!
These look Devine 🤩
So sorry for your loss🌹 Lots of love from Denmark ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 💗
I am sorry about your pup. My heart goes out to you. We had to say goodbye to our elder dog on the Easter weekend so your news made me tear up. Hugs to you and your family.
I'm sorry about your pup as well. It's so hard to lose them!
Enjoyed the video...the soaps look amazing!
Thank you Barbara!
I really like the look of the lemon poppy seed , simple yet fresh .
Yes! I love it too.
i really love these soaps!
Thank you Erika! They were so fun to make!
I don't even drink coffee, but I would love to try that soap! Beautiful job my dear :-)
Thank you! It smells so good!
Whoop Whoop Holly’s back! 🎉
Beautiful soaps!!
Thank you Donna!
I love watching your videos!!!
Thank you!
Beautiful soap Holly, I love them both. ❤️RIP Riggs❤️
Thank you!
I'm so sad for your family, a dog is a friend, a child, companion, someone to love you unconditionally and when losing your pet/friend you lose a family member. My condolence to you and your family for the lose of rings, I was so hopeful he would pull threw! I want both soaps, they turned out so good!!!!
Thank you. It's been so hard. I know that it's not a person but he was a part of our family and it sure does hurt. Thank you for understanding.
Holly, I am so sorry to hear about Riggs. Lots of hugs and comfort to you and your family. The soaps turned out beautifully.
Thank you Sarah 💓
Sorry for your family’s lose. I think we need some of that lemon soap too!!
Thank you. I appreciate it!
Oh, so sorry about Riggs. I LOVE your soaps and their color. Reminds of me of 🧈🧈🧈 and ☕️☕️☕️. I would buy these!!
Thank you JoAnn! I think I will have to bring them into rotation sometime!
Oh, Holly, I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet fur baby.😢 Praying for for peace and comfort.🙏❤️
Thank you Julie. 💗
Beautiful soaps.
Thank you!
I feel your loss. I lost my little one, Micah, not long ago, and I miss her so much. I want to make a soap in her honor. She was my sidekick for over 17 years. I have an idea of what I want to do. Just have to figure out the logistics of it. Hope you feel better.
❤🐶❤
It's just crappy that's for sure. I'm sorry for your loss as well. Have you made your soap yet?
@@moriversoap I have not. Been trying to survive nursing school and my boards up until 2 days ago. But now, I have more time to give it some thought. It does suck, because they are family. I miss her all the time. I just knew it was the right thing to do, and knowing that she was at peace when she left us makes all the difference in the world. I hope you're feeling better. I'll keep you updated with how it goes.
Oh nooo, sorry for your loss. My love for Dobermans actually came from when you posted a pic or video of your 2 dogs on both side of you. They were just looking out onto the front yard. I can't remember what it was but I've always told my partner that my love for doberman dogs came from this soap making lady on youtube.
Thank you. Dobermans are really spectacular creatures. We have a new Doberman now. We've had him since January and we took him in at 7 mo. It's hard to admit sometimes but he's even more amazing than Riggs was. We didn't think it was possible. He has certainly mended our hearts.
Really soothing Holly and beautiful soaps, I got some good green coffee EO from Paris Fragrances , but I use it only on my facial serums and creams, it’s so expensive, take care Holly
Thank you! That sounds like a great way to use the green coffee EO!
@@moriversoap 🌺
That coffee seed oil looks so cool. I wonder if making home coffee bean oil would come out the same? I think I will get my crockpot out and cook some coffee beans with some oil on low heat to see if that would be good on my home soaps.🤔
That could be an interesting experiment! Please report back!
So sorry for the loss for youre pall🐾it always hurts😪
Thank you 💗
New sub here. So sorry for the loss of your fur baby.♥️
Thank you so much.
Exelente propuesta,♡♡♡♡♡
So sorry for your loss Holly.
Thank you 💗
Sorry for your loss💔
Thank you Wendi.
Hi Holly, how did the coffee soap work out with the additional ingredients.
I love the milk chocolate color in the coffee soap.
The lemon poppy seed soap
like really pretty yellow.
You can't never go wrong with a soothing time and soaps.
I absolutely loved this coffee batch. I have made it two more times. One of those batches is on the curing rack right now.
So sorry for your loss
Thank you Deborah 💓
Pumpkin latte soap would be great for Autum. 🤗
I usually have one but took a break from it this year.
Hi Holly, I just put these sort of milk soaps, especially with any additional honey into my soap fridge overnight. They even still seem to gel, but don't overheat , or crack or anything. I thought both of your soaps looks dreamy :)
That is a good way to do it if the molds are small enough. I don't have a fridge that will hold the length of these molds and especially not the size I normally work with. I'm persnickity about my food life and my soap life colliding. Haha! Thankfully, I didn't have any trouble with these overheating. YAY!
@@moriversoap I have a soap fridge in the soap room. My x18 bar mold fits lengthwise across the fridge :) Yes thank fully they didn't overheat.
@@TheLittleHomestead1 My soap fridge is a mini fridge. My regular fridge is always packed to the brim with food. Someday I want to have a full size fridge in my work space.
@@moriversoap yes you deserve one 😊
Oh honey 🍯😢, so sorry for your loss. Your dobie is able to play with all of my 4 sheppies.
Love these beautiful 😻 soap 🧼’s .
Thank you! I like to think of him running and playing with all of his new friends!
@@moriversoap he has 4 from me. There girl shepherds
Sorry for your loss♥️💚
Thank you 💓
I’m So very sorry to hear about the loss of your furry family member ❤️❤️❤️ thinking of you
Thank you Amber.
Sorry to hear about your doggo. Its always sad to lose a family member. I did think the other day where you disappeared too coz you usually put out so many vids :) Much love and support from Norway :)
Thank you! It sure has been hard.
I really like your soap making, l want to learn more about it
Thank you!
I loved watching this video - have missed you! But know life happens and rest is very needed for the soul! Can I ask how you make your liners for the tall skinny molds? I see your folds are different than mine and I’d be interested in seeing how you fold and line them. Thanks again- love you videos! -Robyn (you might remember me as SeraphimSoaps on Instagram) Have a great day!
oh no... I am so sorry about Riggs... lots of love and hugs to you and your family💜... including Shelby and Maverick...
Thank you Kim 💓 Maverick and Shelby have been so comforting to me.
I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to Riggs. He brought back so many happy memories for me of my own childhood with our doberman. My heart goes out to your family.
Thank you Tammy. I am not sure I can have a doberman again. They're just too amazing.
I am very new to soap making and am trying to understand as much as possible. When adding coconut milk or a product from an animal like the goat’s milk, does the soap have an expiration date? I love your creativity with your soaps.
I always suggest that the soaps are used within a year or so. That is best for the fragrance and the colors. That being said, the lye in essence preserves the milks. The soap itself gets better with age. Every now and again I'll come across soaps from many years ago. They perform amazingly but the scent is lacking.
Hello....I love your soaps and really how you started your business is great. I've watched your videos from the very beginning. My question, do you have a beginners recipe that you could share with your viewers???? I'm just starting out and wanted to get a really good recipe. Thank you very much.....
Thank you Danielle! I have a recipe in the description that you can check out. Be sure to check out Bramble Berry, Lovin' Soap, and The Nerdy Farmwife for beginner help.
Everything came out perfect! What’s better to mix TD with, water or oils?
Thanks! In my experience, I prefer water soluble TD.
Seriously who are the people that said no on this. Love ya Holly!!!❤❤❤
Thank you Jennifer! Hahaha people are fickle.
I'm so sorry about your pup :( - It's so hard to lose a pet who's such a big part of the family. I'm glad you took some healing time off. Thank you for this great video! Blessings to you and your family!
Jeanne @HarvestHerbals
Thank you Jeanne. It's just a rotten situation to go through.
I love lemon and poppy seed and orange and poppy seed too.
So good! Orange poppy seed sounds amazing!
I would love to buy soaps like these. 😊
Thank you Melissa! I think I will try to make some bigger batches soon.
Yes, this put me I'm the mind of a "simple goodness" type release. It would be great, I think!
@@moriversoap i think alot of people want more natural and simple these days Love your videos.
I've been gone for a week to Kansas for our daughter's wedding, so I'm just hearing that you lost Riggs. I'm so sorry Holly, I know what that feeling is like. Hugs
Thank you Melisa. It's been hard. Congrats on your daughter's wedding!
I know what you mean it’s 4:00 am here and I’m doing the soaping thing to it’s so peaceful
It really is!
@@moriversoap The earlier the better 🌞
I’m late here but wanted to tell you I’m sorry you lost your little baby. I just lost my sweet darling cocker spaniel. Your soaps are absolutely incredible and I enjoy watching. Thank you.🌹
I'm so sorry for your loss as well. I know so many people say not to get another dog but we did find that it helped quite a lot.
So sorry for your loss :(
Thank you 💗
