Guys, I’m so sorry I somehow forgot the soap mold footage in this video!! I don’t know how on earth that happened, I swear I check everything 45 times and 3 people watched this video without it being caught!! The soap mold and everything else really is listed in the PDF with a link. If you use the PDF as a checklist and check EVERYTHING off, you will have what you need! The mold we are using is around $12 on Amazon and it shown in the prep video, something you would have to watch before making your first batch! 💗 UPDATE : If you are not in the United States, for the love of all things holy, do NOT buy these micas and fragrance oils if it costs you an arm and a leg! Remember, one of the main points is the be cost efficient!! Google "soap colorants" or "soap supplies" for your country and purchase from someone local!!!
Thank you so much Katie and your family. I’m a long time viewer and was amazed at your creativity and soap making skills. I really wanted to learn how to make my own cold process soap and give them as gifts for friends and family. Now you have made my dreams come true. Can’t wait for the next video in the series. ^_^
Gabriela Marcano My dollar store (jacks 99c in NYC) had everything from the dollar store list. I think dollar general or dollar tree would too. We believe in you!!!
Can you also do a series on the business side? Even if it’s general (for more than just soap) I am a soap maker looking to sell at fairs. I find it way to hard to get found on places like Instagram, Etsy, and all that. If you have any advice it be great!
upload upload upload up.load. keep uploading and updating! take the close up pictures and reveal them later. this is what i see across all the soap makers i have followed so far. keep putting your name out there.
Hit up your local farmers market. If you have any small business boutiques or small shops in your area, see if they'll let you sell there for a percentage.
Yes!!!! I’m looking for this as well! Right now, there are no farmer’s markets/fairs allowed, so I’m struggling to get my name out there. (People who buy my soaps come back for more, but how do you find NEW people when your only option is to find them online?) Would love tips on marketing and pricing as you start your business.
TheBiteSizedCrafter My instagram is BathsByBear . I just started it thanks for the advice. I only have 2 bars up but I posted 3 Photos of each to make it look more full! I’d be so happy if you looked at my Instagram!!
My husband & I went out to Walmart / Amazon today & we bought EVERYTHING . 😍😍😇 I’m so happy ! I’ve been wanting to make soaps for so long I just never knew where to start or how to start. So happy for this !!!
When you said “Closed toed shoes” I felt like you were talking directly to me. I wear flip flops 24/7 and would definitely “chance it” until it felt like you stared me down. The giggle after the shade throw towards some lye companies lol 😍😆
I'm a flip-flop gal too, but due to Covid I haven't left my house since the end of March which means I haven't worn shoes since the end of March. 😂 I barely remember what shoes are.
Dear sweet, kind, Katie, you are such a ray of sunshine-especially in a weird, dark time-thank you so much for releasing this. I can’t wait to make my first batch of soap. ❤️
Katie, at risk of sounding creepy, I love you so much! I’ve always wanted to get into cold-process soap making, and this is so perfect for me. Your channel has already taught me a lot about CP, but this will be perfect! I still have to wait until I’m living in a different house, right now I don’t have enough space anywhere where I’d be able to keep my pets safely locked out, unless I locked them in the bathroom the entire time I was soapmaking, but that’s mean and I wouldn’t do that to them aha
At the risk of sounding creepy my message sounded creepy too...glad to know I'm not the only one who appreciates Katie...she always has be rolling....like the best friend we never knew we were missing but get to have that via TH-cam...lol
Melissa Walton honestly, she’s such an inspiration! So bubbly and amazing, kind and shares so many helpful tips, and it blows me away how young she is! Im pretty sure she’s only like 4 years older than I am, and seeing how much she has accomplished really inspires me to get my own life together.😁
I've made soap for the first time last year after watching your videos for about three months and decided to do soap cupcakes based on the video from Soap Queen TV even though she said those are for advanced soapers and it was my first time. The soaps came out perfectly and were a hit, thanks to you
@@claudettewarner6151 Haha yeah I can imagine. I just saw the video and wanted to do it. It was to give as gifts to guests of my birthday party. It turned out awesome for my first ever time making soap and I'll make some again. Did you combine different colours?
Katie, your enthusiasm is completely infectious. I love that you are a soapmaker. This activity is the kind of thing that will make people want to learn some chemistry! I appreciate your attention to the safety aspects, as well as keeping the activity affordable for people. You are just amazing! (I am an old retired chemist.)
Omg how awesome is this timing!! Katie I just ordered from 3 different companies everything I need to finally start CP! MP not much of a challenge for me. Bring on the teaching videos!!
I have wanted to make soap for almost 7 years now and have always felt so overwhelmed with figuring it out on my own. I am a mom of 4 and work a full time and a part time job. My dream is to be able to do something I genuinely love, that is a creative outlet for me, and allows me to spend more time with my kids (and have mental and physical energy left for them). You make me feel like maybe I can do this. You are absolute goals and your love of your craft and desire to share it with everyone for free so selflessly is an inspiration and since I've found you, I am truly determined to at least try to make my dreams come true. Thank you for existing, Katie Carson.
WOW. I've been making soap for a good number of years now, but haven't ventured very far from my beginner "smart soapmaking" lessons and basic recipe. Today I decided to delve a little deeper and happened upon Katie's videos. I could watch her ALL DAY. She is so energetic and kind and thorough and obviously loves what she does and loves sharing. I cannot wait to upgrade my soap game with her help!
Wow the fact that you went out of your way to compile all of this information and make it FREE for anyone who’s interested in actually making the soap just shows how truly passionate you are about this, I’m so glad I found your channel when I did like 4 years ago
I just wanted to tell you I absolutely love your videos. I look forward to watching your videos all the time. You just make my day. You're very upbeat, very energetic. You're engaging. You remind me a lot of my eldest daughter. She's the same way, just a very happy-go-lucky person. You are so awesome making your videos. You make sure everybody understands everything. You're just awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your creations your artwork. I hope you and yours are all safe and thank you again
She is such a beautiful inspiration soul? Who can dislike this beautiful human? Whoever dislikes her really has serious issues with themselves! ❤I love Katie , thank you KATIE 🎉
I love this, I just started rewatching your videos and thought "man I wanna make my own cp soap, I wish someone could put out a comprehensive guide with ingredients and reading material." Literally the next day you put up the video announcing the series and felt like all of my prayers had been answered! I've been making bath bombs and solid bubble bath for years but was always intimidated by homemade cp soaps and had so much appreciation for soap Maker's like yourself. Now that I'm wanting to try it out myself something like this is perfect for me!
I just want to say I am SO SO THANKFUL for this video. I have been really interested in starting a small soap business and selling at markets, but I didn't want to spend all of my money on soap kits I could buy for cheaper. I had come to TH-cam to see if I could find help and just so happened to scroll across her video. I was so thankful that everything was so easily and thoughtfully layed out for me in a way I could understand. Her videos are also so fun to watch and so engaging and entertaining. I am again so grateful and I couldn't thank her more for making this possible for me.
To Katie and all the Royalty Soap family: you are amazing human beings! Thanks so much for such an effort on educating all of us! I live in Brazil and it's been very difficult for me to find micas, fragrance oils etc, besides the language barrier, the ingredients here are very expensive (coconut and olive oil, for example) and the business for it is almost inexistent (the major focus on homemade soap here is melt and pour), I rarely see people selling cp soap, and when I find it, it's focusing on the "all natural ingredients" etc. I've made a promise to myself that in 2020 I would do my first cp soap, and after this series I'll definitely start buying the supplies I can find here and try to make!
Katie you are amazing! This is so helpful and it's so generous to share your craft with people (and for free!). As somebody who's wanted to get into it but wasn't totally sure how, this is a fantastic resource. Thank you!
Imagine being this successful, this happy, and this inlove with your job that you would be this willing to teach other people how to start their own business. Mind blown.
Awesome series . I probably watched over 100 soap making videos and purchased and read books etc before I made my first batch of soap. Everything I purchased was from the thrift store (my wand mixer, bowls etc) and the dollare tree!! Buckets, bowls, spatulas cutting mats etc. And walmart for my coconut oil and olive oil. I ordered a few midas and fragrance oils online and that was it!! Easy peasey!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE that you're doing this!!!!!! I've looked for a soap video series before without success. I love that you have cost in mind for us as well especially right now with funds tight for many of us. THANK YOU Katie and family for doing this!
I'm so excited to watch your videos and learn how to make soap. I have rosacea and my cousin had made some goat milk soap "practical magic"; I got some from her and since then I have not had to use the medication prescribed by my doctor!!! I cannot wait to make this and other healthy soaps for myself and my family. Thank you so much Katie for making this entire process make me feel so comfortable moving forward.
I am not a soap maker, but I love watching these videos just to chill because I'm just someone who likes watching something come together all perfect, and I'm honestly... SO GLAD I checked out Mad Micas after seeing all the colors you have. I'm a resin artist and I'm trying to switch to eco-friendly resin, inclusions, and resin tint, and I've used mica powder as a resin colorant before but then I learned how some of the ways mica is mined is unethical and dangerous... and then, poof, I find this adorable soapmaker who hands me an ethical, vegan mica producer for a fair price. I'm eternally grateful :)
Oh my gosh! How have I been busy making CP soap for 20 yrs and just now discovering Katie??!! So fun for even this "Old Gray Mare" to watch!! I wish she had been around way back when... I had to read books to learn soap-making!😂
After months of wanting to try cold process soap, I watched this video like 100 times and bought everything you mentioned. I'm doing my first batch this week and hopefully I'm gonna be able to make money out of soap making. Thank you so much Katie ♥
You are one of the most generous people, ever, for doing this.💝 Tell your Mom and Dad to 'get busy' because we need more like you, and your siblings. LMAO 😂🤣 Stay safe and healthy. 💜
Me: Have my college assignment to do since Monday and haven't started it yet that is due tomorrow. Also me: Heading to do the homework Katie gave in a hot flash plus downloading the PDF We all can tell where my focus is atm.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supplying us with quality education and stressing safety measures. As the mother of an autistic teen girl who is very artistic but needs outlets other than drawing, you have helped to provide her with a hope that she will be able to make butters, scrubs and especially soaps to help support herself in the future. We lost my husband on June 11, 2022 and it hit pretty hard that we will need to look to our futures and become very proactive in an endeavor, especially for her sake. Bless you for helping the beginners and probably instilling a confidence that we certainly didn’t have before watching these videos that you have generously provided. Sign us, Two New Fans!
This timing literally could not have been more perfect! I just started to gather some supplies to start my soap making business and boom! You release soap making classes, and for free!! Find someone doing it better than this lovely women right here. I’ll wait. Stay blessed 🙏❤️
I stumbled across your videos on a whim to make some soap. Can I just say, you are the absolute light of my soap making journey. Its people like you Katie that make the world a nicer place.
Just wanted to add our 2 cents: give yourself a round of applause, Katie as you put together a well planned, thought out and gave concise directions on each step in the process. I understand you’re very stressed, so through your feet up, ask Caleb for a nice foot massage, enjoy a chamomile toddy and hit the bed early. This deserves a platinum award!
Katie, you are an amazing woman! You Have truly been blessed with the support team that you have behind you and in turn, you take that and give to all of the people out there listening to you! Truly amazing dear. I have been doing only MP soap because I am on disability income and felt that was all that I could afford to do. But You have motivated me to step out and do cold processing. It may take a while for me to acquire the supplies But I am so excited!! Thankfully I won't have too much to have to get since I've already got soaping supplies! God Bless you and I am honored to call you Student/Friend! So Excited!! 😎😎😎
I am looking into getting a 2 bedroom apartment/house just so that I can have a room set up for soap making! My bar height pop up table will be perfect for this.
I paused your video at 2:20 because I began to tear up. With this whole pandemic I lost my job and frankly I do not have money to purchase PDFs or recipes at the moment. And the fact that you are doing this for FREE your time your effort and research thank you so much such a Blessing. I promise you I will pay it forward I can’t thank you enough. I haven’t purchased any supplies yet or made any soap I have watched a handful of your videos I’m just so afraid to mess up and have very little money so I want to get this right. Thank you again for doing this it will help my family greatly.
I hope all the new soapers enjoy these videos. I wish this was around when I started, however I spent 18 months studying and collecting all the products and oils I needed.
I was at the dollar store and saw Katie's soap buckets and continued to tease my man for 30 minutes that now I can make soap. 🤣 He didn't think I was funny.
I made my first batch exactly a year ago! Thanks to you, I don’t buy commercial soap anymore! And my homamde soap is much better then any regular brand soap available.
Hi I'm casey,I'm 15 and really really excited to start my soap journey and my dad is still worried about the sodium hydroxide but I am very excited (especially the decorating part because I used to bake for my grans business, I used to do the decorations) and then I did slime but I didn't really enjoy it that much because you couldn't really do that much but with soap there is soooo many different ways of doing it and decorating
I always watch you videos and they bring so much comfort. Unfortunatly, I lost my job two weeks ago and when I opened TH-cam again for solace, your channel popped up and guess what!? You are teaching us how to make your wonderful soaps. Im taking that as a sign to start somthing new. Thank you for everything .🌿
Let me tell you a little something. You're energy is so good and so fun. You make me wanna learn this. I dont have like any fun money right now but I will save to do this because you're energy makes me want to
Just ordered my mica kit, and found out that apparently Mad Micas is actually in my HOMETOWN! I don't live in West Palm Beach anymore, but I just thought that was kind of funny lol
Katie: You are such an extraordinary human being. Finding you has been a blessing more than you'll ever know. I have manic depression and it gets so uncontrollable bad sometimes. I have a system that helps sometimes but it's so mindfully debilitating. My manic gets away from me before I can even realise and I'll just be sitting there listening to myself and just can't stop. On bad days I know that I can come find you and watch a video or 2 ...or more usually... and things seem better. I find myself laughing and actually feeling happy. You have me rolling my butt off sometimes. Giggle laughs like you do with friends. I joke around with my family that I have my friends in the tv...i know sounds like Im a weirdo...I'm really not. Some days I come home and knowing you'll be there or some of the other TH-camrs I follow will have uploaded...and it's just a comfort. You bring so much joy to this world and my world is a brighter place because you've chosen to share YOU and your amazing talent. It's also got me back into making my clothing I used to do. My depression told me I couldn't do it...and I stopped for years....watching you made me want to create again...which in turn has made life a little less stressful. Thank you for being you....and thank you for being my friend...lol.
Hey, love your channel!! You should react to NileRed, a chemistry channel here on YT, there's a video about soap making (the guy makes some soap using hot process), I would love to see that.
This is a weird little tip but if you don't want to buy something to cover your hair, you can use a plastic grocery bag! It's a little funny looking, but it works surprisingly well. Just put it around your hair, tie the handles to tighten it, and (optional) tuck them in! I suppose you could use a big scarf to put your hair back too, since it doesn't have to be waterproof! Whatever works! :)
thank you for being so kind and considerate of everyone who watches your videos! truly such a beautiful human thank you for thinking of us first, best wishes to you and your family!! 💗💗💗
I love you katie. I live in missouri. Soap making was historically reserved for the poorest of the poor here. I too found* myself in this situation being disabled and having never been able to work. but because i need an affordable hobby, and bc im highly allergic to a lot of chemicals & fragrances, & wanted an all natural lye soap similar to grandmas lye soap. Thank you💖
i got worried because she didn't upload her video on Wednesday or Saturday on time and she said in one of her videos she was having family problems i really hope everything is OKAY!! 🙏🙏🙏
She posted an update on Instagram yesterday saying she needed some more time to finalize the PDFs and other information. I think she just wanted to make extra sure everything was ready before posting.
I never mentioned how much this series means to me. I would never have been able to independently make soap in the way I wanted to without this series. Thank you so much Katie!!!
My husband just looked at me all worried and asked if I planned to take up soap making. Me: Why, you think I’d be bad at it? Him: No, you’d be great, but we’d have so much soap and we don’t need it.
GIRL!!!!!Your personality made me watch this video, even if you were talking about a blank sheet of paper , I would have watched to the end. Your energy and vibe is contagious , just all round feel good. Thank you for being a positive in the soap world, for those who are newbies, and love , love , love your options for recycling and making a difference in saving the planet. If you ever wonder how far your videos reach, I'm from a tiny island in the Caribbean.
watched whole video thinking "I don't need to take notes!" Rewatching the whole video taking notes now... Also my husband says he thinks you're the Bob Ross of soapmaking
I'm am so giggly right now. I can't wait to start this. I have been accumulating all the supplies for weeks now. This is perfect timing. I'll be getting the royal upgrade items for the soaps themselves.
Dear Duchess and the entire Royal family- I will make a deal with you-I’ll learn to make soap IF you reproduce the Lisa Frank soap in bulk and in turn I’ll buy 10 of them and then learn to make soap. I hope you find my terms acceptable. -Q
I started watching your videos in October and you inspired me to be creative with cold processed soap (and use your recipe). I've been practicing here and there and finally got the guts to order the frosting set and try it out some months ago. A few days ago, I piped with the set and I made the COOLEST bar of soap ever (fairy door) and it's thanks to you. Your channel is so fun and inspiring and I absolutely love that you are doing this. I'm sure you'll inspire many more others like myself, and they will get the satisfaction of making their own version of the "coolest bar of soap ever". So thank you for being you :)
I love this girl and her energy as I lay on my face to watch her make soap. Watch her all the time. I've ordered several things from her. She is awesome
Thank you so much for doing this! My family has been following you for years and we love you. I made soaps to save money, to keep out the nasty stuff, to have fun and be creative and for my family and loved ones. I do not sell my soaps so having this is amazing. I love soaping and making other homemade products so to have this tutorial from you is awesome! Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Me, my family and loved ones thank you!!!
I don’t think soap making is as big in the UK as it in USA. I REALLY want to give it a go but I can’t seem to find anywhere near all the stuff you can get. Thank you Katie for not being precious and sharing all your knowledge free of charge. I think you are a lovely person and I love your personality and the passion you have for what you do. You deserve all your success and I wish you all the luck in the world from the bottom of my heart xxx
Thank you! A friend died today and we are making soap as a family to honor her creative spirit that has passed on. Thank you for making this freely available. I will be sending people to your site.
Wow. "You want to learn how to make soap? Start with all this reading, some safety course, and then we can get in to it!" ... I am so excited. Seriously. The fact that you're presenting the boring stuff tickles something deep with in me in a satisfying way. There's just something about being offered to be taught something the actual right way - for free - that is uniquely amazing. So, Thank you. :)
Can we all just stop for a minute and marvel at what a decent and kind human being Katie is?!
She’s not decent, she’s amazing!
Yes. I want to be her friend.
100%
We love Katie ❤️🙏🏾
Just starting my soap making adventure, she is awesome.

Thanks Katie and family! We appreciate everything you guys do for us ❤️
Royalty Soaps 🤣😂🤣😂 oh Darling you were so excited and so amazing 😉 just do a quick 1.5 lol
no lie I JUST realized all the items in the PDF are hyperlinks. LOL
Thank you so much Katie and your family. I’m a long time viewer and was amazed at your creativity and soap making skills. I really wanted to learn how to make my own cold process soap and give them as gifts for friends and family. Now you have made my dreams come true. Can’t wait for the next video in the series. ^_^
You go girl 😃
Will I ever make soap no! Am I watching this as soon as I got the notification hell yes!! Xx
Same
And i will watch all of the other ones
Sophie Kruse same 😂😂
She makes it look so easy, I’m thinking of trying it tho lol
I want to but it’s so much stuff to buy if I don’t like it 😰
Me: slowly buying supplies for possible soap making then here comes Royalty Soaps video with all of the things needed to get serious! I love this girl
I thought “Soap Making Playlist” would be a soundtrack to listen to while making soap and I got REAL excited. Like. REAL REAL excited.
Too cute - had to giggle at your post
Well, we could compose a playlist, but wouldn't any lofi playlist work?
Me too...me too
Sigh...me too...
If you ever need a relaxing soundtrack for almost anything, I highly recommend the Skyrim soundtrack. 🤌
Ok from all of the materials listed, I have:
-plastic fork
-plastic spoon
I'm so close
Gabriela Marcano do you have an old water pitcher, and Tupperware containers with missing lids? You may have just got a little closer!
you can do it!
I just realized that the tang juice powder container in my pantry is safe to use for the lye water solution you guys! Even closer now!! Lol
😂😂Your comment made me giggle!

this is what i see across all the soap makers i have followed so far. keep putting your name out there.
Post photos of them on twitter and Instagram. If you do the former I might follow and share ( if I like the way you look ).
Hit up your local farmers market. If you have any small business boutiques or small shops in your area, see if they'll let you sell there for a percentage.

I love how much "equipment" can come from take-out. I will do my part for my crafting and order Chinese food.
Making it free proves that you’re a good person ❤️
When you said “Closed toed shoes” I felt like you were talking directly to me. I wear flip flops 24/7 and would definitely “chance it” until it felt like you stared me down.
The giggle after the shade throw towards some lye companies lol 😍😆
It's a super important rule when doing chemistry!
I totally looked down at the flip flops I am currently wearing when she said that lol.
I'm a flip-flop gal too, but due to Covid I haven't left my house since the end of March which means I haven't worn shoes since the end of March. 😂 I barely remember what shoes are.
I’m a barefoot girl! I’ll have to find my shoes. I’ve hardly needed them since quarantine began!! 😂
I'm a flip flop girl too and I was like, I'll be alright. I'm sure I wont burn a toe off with any drips of lye. But I wont chance it. Lol
Dear sweet, kind, Katie, you are such a ray of sunshine-especially in a weird, dark time-thank you so much for releasing this. I can’t wait to make my first batch of soap. ❤️
viper9302 so sweet I have cavities 😂😂😂
Katie, at risk of sounding creepy, I love you so much! I’ve always wanted to get into cold-process soap making, and this is so perfect for me. Your channel has already taught me a lot about CP, but this will be perfect! I still have to wait until I’m living in a different house, right now I don’t have enough space anywhere where I’d be able to keep my pets safely locked out, unless I locked them in the bathroom the entire time I was soapmaking, but that’s mean and I wouldn’t do that to them aha
At the risk of sounding creepy my message sounded creepy too...glad to know I'm not the only one who appreciates Katie...she always has be rolling....like the best friend we never knew we were missing but get to have that via TH-cam...lol
Melissa Walton honestly, she’s such an inspiration! So bubbly and amazing, kind and shares so many helpful tips, and it blows me away how young she is! Im pretty sure she’s only like 4 years older than I am, and seeing how much she has accomplished really inspires me to get my own life together.😁
The process only takes about an hour if you have a toy or treat that they’ll enjoy for that amount of time you’d be okay!
If you invite others over to watch your pets, it makes it much easier. ;)
@@theZmoee Now THAT'S what I was wondering. Thank you!
I do so love the words "free" and "knowledge" put together
I've made soap for the first time last year after watching your videos for about three months and decided to do soap cupcakes based on the video from Soap Queen TV even though she said those are for advanced soapers and it was my first time. The soaps came out perfectly and were a hit, thanks to you
That is awesome! I AM THRILLED FOR YOU!!!!!
@@RoyaltySoaps thank you they were a dream
My first soap was a six layer loaf with a mica line and I absolutely loved it! Pretty sure it was advanced🤓 Lol
@@claudettewarner6151 Haha yeah I can imagine. I just saw the video and wanted to do it. It was to give as gifts to guests of my birthday party. It turned out awesome for my first ever time making soap and I'll make some again. Did you combine different colours?
I literally cried when I started watching this, thank you for making this accessible!
I hope that everyone who takes parts in this series will enjoy them, have fun and maybe learn a new skill!
Are you putting that so your comment gets highlighted be honest you know it
happyhuman33 haha I thought the same thing
Katie, your enthusiasm is completely infectious. I love that you are a soapmaker. This activity is the kind of thing that will make people want to learn some chemistry! I appreciate your attention to the safety aspects, as well as keeping the activity affordable for people. You are just amazing! (I am an old retired chemist.)

You got this! I'm so excited for your journey!!
I have wanted to make soap for almost 7 years now and have always felt so overwhelmed with figuring it out on my own. I am a mom of 4 and work a full time and a part time job. My dream is to be able to do something I genuinely love, that is a creative outlet for me, and allows me to spend more time with my kids (and have mental and physical energy left for them).

You are absolute goals and your love of your craft and desire to share it with everyone for free so selflessly is an inspiration and since I've found you, I am truly determined to at least try to make my dreams come true.

Your laugh makes me laugh it's adorable but nerdy at the same time 😂
WOW. I've been making soap for a good number of years now, but haven't ventured very far from my beginner "smart soapmaking" lessons and basic recipe. Today I decided to delve a little deeper and happened upon Katie's videos. I could watch her ALL DAY. She is so energetic and kind and thorough and obviously loves what she does and loves sharing.

You remind me a lot of my eldest daughter. She's the same way, just a very happy-go-lucky person. You are so awesome making your videos. You make sure everybody understands everything. You're just awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your creations your artwork. I hope you and yours are all safe and thank you again
Earliest I've ever been, and I'm so excited it's for soap making 101!
She is such a beautiful inspiration soul? Who can dislike this beautiful human? Whoever dislikes her really has serious issues with themselves! ❤I love Katie , thank you KATIE 🎉
I love this, I just started rewatching your videos and thought "man I wanna make my own cp soap, I wish someone could put out a comprehensive guide with ingredients and reading material." Literally the next day you put up the video announcing the series and felt like all of my prayers had been answered!
I've been making bath bombs and solid bubble bath for years but was always intimidated by homemade cp soaps and had so much appreciation for soap Maker's like yourself. Now that I'm wanting to try it out myself something like this is perfect for me!
I just want to say I am SO SO THANKFUL for this video. I have been really interested in starting a small soap business and selling at markets, but I didn't want to spend all of my money on soap kits I could buy for cheaper. I had come to TH-cam to see if I could find help and just so happened to scroll across her video. I was so thankful that everything was so easily and thoughtfully layed out for me in a way I could understand. Her videos are also so fun to watch and so engaging and entertaining. I am again so grateful and I couldn't thank her more for making this possible for me.
To Katie and all the Royalty Soap family: you are amazing human beings! Thanks so much for such an effort on educating all of us!
I live in Brazil and it's been very difficult for me to find micas, fragrance oils etc, besides the language barrier, the ingredients here are very expensive (coconut and olive oil, for example) and the business for it is almost inexistent (the major focus on homemade soap here is melt and pour), I rarely see people selling cp soap, and when I find it, it's focusing on the "all natural ingredients" etc.
I've made a promise to myself that in 2020 I would do my first cp soap, and after this series I'll definitely start buying the supplies I can find here and try to make!
You have NO idea how long I have waited for this!!!!!
Katie you are amazing! This is so helpful and it's so generous to share your craft with people (and for free!). As somebody who's wanted to get into it but wasn't totally sure how, this is a fantastic resource. Thank you!
It is no exaggeration to say I have waited YEARS for this series!!!
This is completely unrelated to the video but I just realized I've been watching you for two years now and it's cool to see how much you've grown.
Imagine being this successful, this happy, and this inlove with your job that you would be this willing to teach other people how to start their own business. Mind blown.
I love how you genuinely care about all of us novices!
Awesome series . I probably watched over 100 soap making videos and purchased and read books etc before I made my first batch of soap. Everything I purchased was from the thrift store (my wand mixer, bowls etc) and the dollare tree!! Buckets, bowls, spatulas cutting mats etc. And walmart for my coconut oil and olive oil. I ordered a few midas and fragrance oils online and that was it!! Easy peasey!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE that you're doing this!!!!!! I've looked for a soap video series before without success. I love that you have cost in mind for us as well especially right now with funds tight for many of us. THANK YOU Katie and family for doing this!
I'm so excited to watch your videos and learn how to make soap. I have rosacea and my cousin had made some goat milk soap "practical magic"; I got some from her and since then I have not had to use the medication prescribed by my doctor!!! I cannot wait to make this and other healthy soaps for myself and my family. Thank you so much Katie for making this entire process make me feel so comfortable moving forward.
In the time of Covid, soap making is like baking without all the calories. 😂
Sheena Johnson yes, yes, yes!!! Exactly!
YES!!!
Same as candle making.
Why is that so true though-
@RavenPoe lol
I am not a soap maker, but I love watching these videos just to chill because I'm just someone who likes watching something come together all perfect, and I'm honestly... SO GLAD I checked out Mad Micas after seeing all the colors you have.
I'm a resin artist and I'm trying to switch to eco-friendly resin, inclusions, and resin tint, and I've used mica powder as a resin colorant before but then I learned how some of the ways mica is mined is unethical and dangerous... and then, poof, I find this adorable soapmaker who hands me an ethical, vegan mica producer for a fair price. I'm eternally grateful :)
I’m so happy that you’re doing this for us! I’m so excited to make some soap with your help! 😄
Oh my gosh! How have I been busy making CP soap for 20 yrs and just now discovering Katie??!! So fun for even this "Old Gray Mare" to watch!!
I wish she had been around way back when... I had to read books to learn soap-making!😂
After months of wanting to try cold process soap, I watched this video like 100 times and bought everything you mentioned. I'm doing my first batch this week and hopefully I'm gonna be able to make money out of soap making. Thank you so much Katie ♥
Update?
You are one of the most generous people, ever, for doing this.💝 Tell your Mom and Dad to 'get busy' because we need more like you, and your siblings. LMAO 😂🤣 Stay safe and healthy. 💜
Me: Have my college assignment to do since Monday and haven't started it yet that is due tomorrow.
Also me: Heading to do the homework Katie gave in a hot flash plus downloading the PDF
We all can tell where my focus is atm.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supplying us with quality education and stressing safety measures. As the mother of an autistic teen girl who is very artistic but needs outlets other than drawing, you have helped to provide her with a hope that she will be able to make butters, scrubs and especially soaps to help support herself in the future. We lost my husband on June 11, 2022 and it hit pretty hard that we will need to look to our futures and become very proactive in an endeavor, especially for her sake. Bless you for helping the beginners and probably instilling a confidence that we certainly didn’t have before watching these videos that you have generously provided. Sign us, Two New Fans!
Omgggggg I’ve been waiting foreverrrrrr! (It’s 2am here in Indonesia)..thank u Katie u are awesome ❤️❤️❤️
Hi
Hiiiii
sometimes you are so gosh dang wholesome it makes me tear up and I wouldn't have it any other way
This timing literally could not have been more perfect! I just started to gather some supplies to start my soap making business and boom! You release soap making classes, and for free!! Find someone doing it better than this lovely women right here. I’ll wait. Stay blessed 🙏❤️
I stumbled across your videos on a whim to make some soap. Can I just say, you are the absolute light of my soap making journey. Its people like you Katie that make the world a nicer place.
Just wanted to add our 2 cents: give yourself a round of applause, Katie as you put together a well planned, thought out and gave concise directions on each step in the process. I understand you’re very stressed, so through your feet up, ask Caleb for a nice foot massage, enjoy a chamomile toddy and hit the bed early. This deserves a platinum award!
I am a big eco enthusiast and I get so happy when I see someone promoting eco friendly stuff, reusing,... ❤🌍🌱
i dont know what we did to deserve you
Katie, you are an amazing woman! You Have truly been blessed with the support team that you have behind you and in turn, you take that and give to all of the people out there listening to you! Truly amazing dear. I have been doing only MP soap because I am on disability income and felt that was all that I could afford to do. But You have motivated me to step out and do cold processing. It may take a while for me to acquire the supplies But I am so excited!! Thankfully I won't have too much to have to get since I've already got soaping supplies! God Bless you and I am honored to call you Student/Friend! So Excited!! 😎😎😎
I am looking into getting a 2 bedroom apartment/house just so that I can have a room set up for soap making! My bar height pop up table will be perfect for this.
I paused your video at 2:20 because I began to tear up. With this whole pandemic I lost my job and frankly I do not have money to purchase PDFs or recipes at the moment. And the fact that you are doing this for FREE your time your effort and research thank you so much such a Blessing. I promise you I will pay it forward I can’t thank you enough. I haven’t purchased any supplies yet or made any soap I have watched a handful of your videos I’m just so afraid to mess up and have very little money so I want to get this right. Thank you again for doing this it will help my family greatly.
Love your energy, Hi I’m Melissa all the way from Puerto Rico
I hope all the new soapers enjoy these videos. I wish this was around when I started, however I spent 18 months studying and collecting all the products and oils I needed.
I'm honestly seriously considering trying this.....
Edit: my dad actually already has one of those thermometers so I have one thing on the list lol
Did you do it?
Ok, seriously! You are the cutest person EVER! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and just being the kind human being you are!
I was at the dollar store and saw Katie's soap buckets and continued to tease my man for 30 minutes that now I can make soap. 🤣 He didn't think I was funny.
I am so excited Katie. I watched you 3 years ago and have been making soap since. I can’t wait to learn from the master.
I sincerely thought it was Wednesday because we didn’t get a video yesterday.
This is one of the most positive communities out there !!! So refreshing to see all this kindness
Omg I love these videos they are so satisfying💯😌👏🏽💜✨
I made my first batch exactly a year ago! Thanks to you, I don’t buy commercial soap anymore! And my homamde soap is much better then any regular brand soap available.
Hi I'm casey,I'm 15 and really really excited to start my soap journey and my dad is still worried about the sodium hydroxide but I am very excited (especially the decorating part because I used to bake for my grans business, I used to do the decorations) and then I did slime but I didn't really enjoy it that much because you couldn't really do that much but with soap there is soooo many different ways of doing it and decorating
I always watch you videos and they bring so much comfort. Unfortunatly, I lost my job two weeks ago and when I opened TH-cam again for solace, your channel popped up and guess what!? You are teaching us how to make your wonderful soaps. Im taking that as a sign to start somthing new. Thank you for everything .🌿
Hey y'all, like if you're soooo excited and love katie dearly
Let me tell you a little something. You're energy is so good and so fun. You make me wanna learn this. I dont have like any fun money right now but I will save to do this because you're energy makes me want to
Just ordered my mica kit, and found out that apparently Mad Micas is actually in my HOMETOWN! I don't live in West Palm Beach anymore, but I just thought that was kind of funny lol
Katie: You are such an extraordinary human being. Finding you has been a blessing more than you'll ever know. I have manic depression and it gets so uncontrollable bad sometimes. I have a system that helps sometimes but it's so mindfully debilitating. My manic gets away from me before I can even realise and I'll just be sitting there listening to myself and just can't stop.
On bad days I know that I can come find you and watch a video or 2 ...or more usually... and things seem better. I find myself laughing and actually feeling happy. You have me rolling my butt off sometimes. Giggle laughs like you do with friends. I joke around with my family that I have my friends in the tv...i know sounds like Im a weirdo...I'm really not. Some days I come home and knowing you'll be there or some of the other TH-camrs I follow will have uploaded...and it's just a comfort. You bring so much joy to this world and my world is a brighter place because you've chosen to share YOU and your amazing talent. It's also got me back into making my clothing I used to do. My depression told me I couldn't do it...and I stopped for years....watching you made me want to create again...which in turn has made life a little less stressful.
Thank you for being you....and thank you for being my friend...lol.
Oh damn am I early and a soap making SERIES YESSSSSS this is very helpful (:
I love u.......... Sooooo much.... Ur an amazing woman doing the good for others... I pray ur business booms so much over the entire world.
Hey, love your channel!! You should react to NileRed, a chemistry channel here on YT, there's a video about soap making (the guy makes some soap using hot process), I would love to see that.
Exactly what I need! Thank you! I've bought a book, played with some melt and pour, and now I'm ready for lye.
This is a weird little tip but if you don't want to buy something to cover your hair, you can use a plastic grocery bag! It's a little funny looking, but it works surprisingly well. Just put it around your hair, tie the handles to tighten it, and (optional) tuck them in!
I suppose you could use a big scarf to put your hair back too, since it doesn't have to be waterproof! Whatever works! :)
thank you for being so kind and considerate of everyone who watches your videos! truly such a beautiful human thank you for thinking of us first, best wishes to you and your family!! 💗💗💗
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! Katie!!!!!!
I love you katie. I live in missouri. Soap making was historically reserved for the poorest of the poor here. I too found* myself in this situation being disabled and having never been able to work. but because i need an affordable hobby, and bc im highly allergic to a lot of chemicals & fragrances, & wanted an all natural lye soap similar to grandmas lye soap. Thank you💖
i got worried because she didn't upload her video on Wednesday or Saturday on time and she said in one of her videos she was having family problems i really hope everything is OKAY!! 🙏🙏🙏
We are both thinking about them, and hoping the best for everyone. Love your heart.
What kind of family problems?
She posted an update on Instagram yesterday saying she needed some more time to finalize the PDFs and other information. I think she just wanted to make extra sure everything was ready before posting.
@@meiraosness1902 oh thank for telling me that now i am less worried
Same, ngl she looks tired in this so i hope shes doing self care ;;
You are the alton brown of soap making! I can watch your videos all day!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love in Christ Jesus

I AM ACTUALLY THE FIRST LIKE AND COMMENT YAAAS
I never mentioned how much this series means to me. I would never have been able to independently make soap in the way I wanted to without this series. Thank you so much Katie!!!
Do you sell them? How do you sell? Thanks!
My husband just looked at me all worried and asked if I planned to take up soap making.
Me: Why, you think I’d be bad at it?
Him: No, you’d be great, but we’d have so much soap and we don’t need it.
GIRL!!!!!Your personality made me watch this video, even if you were talking about a blank sheet of paper , I would have watched to the end. Your energy and vibe is contagious , just all round feel good. Thank you for being a positive in the soap world, for those who are newbies, and love , love , love your options for recycling and making a difference in saving the planet. If you ever wonder how far your videos reach, I'm from a tiny island in the Caribbean.
watched whole video thinking "I don't need to take notes!"
Rewatching the whole video taking notes now...
Also my husband says he thinks you're the Bob Ross of soapmaking
I'm am so giggly right now. I can't wait to start this. I have been accumulating all the supplies for weeks now. This is perfect timing. I'll be getting the royal upgrade items for the soaps themselves.
Dear Duchess and the entire Royal family-
I will make a deal with you-I’ll learn to make soap IF you reproduce the Lisa Frank soap in bulk and in turn I’ll buy 10 of them and then learn to make soap. I hope you find my terms acceptable.
-Q
But if you learn to make soap you could make your own Lisa Frank soap and have as much as you wanted 🤩
I have been binge watching your tutorials in order to start making soap, I just want to say you are such an inspiration to me! Thank you so much
When it says 53 seconds ago-
I am legitametly first then is no views
I started watching your videos in October and you inspired me to be creative with cold processed soap (and use your recipe). I've been practicing here and there and finally got the guts to order the frosting set and try it out some months ago. A few days ago, I piped with the set and I made the COOLEST bar of soap ever (fairy door) and it's thanks to you. Your channel is so fun and inspiring and I absolutely love that you are doing this. I'm sure you'll inspire many more others like myself, and they will get the satisfaction of making their own version of the "coolest bar of soap ever". So thank you for being you :)
oooOOOhhhhh! so excited. I have my box of supplies that I gathered up almost a year ago.. Now there are absolutely no excuses!!! Can't wait!!
I love this girl and her energy as I lay on my face to watch her make soap. Watch her all the time. I've ordered several things from her. She is awesome
The fact that you don't have millions of subscribers is a CRIME. You are a delight and so so kind. Imma make some soap for my family for Christmas.
I did it! I made soap! It lathers nicely and smells wonderful. Thank you, Katie! You are a treasure!
Thank you so much for doing this! My family has been following you for years and we love you. I made soaps to save money, to keep out the nasty stuff, to have fun and be creative and for my family and loved ones. I do not sell my soaps so having this is amazing. I love soaping and making other homemade products so to have this tutorial from you is awesome! Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Me, my family and loved ones thank you!!!
I don’t think soap making is as big in the UK as it in USA. I REALLY want to give it a go but I can’t seem to find anywhere near all the stuff you can get.
Thank you Katie for not being precious and sharing all your knowledge free of charge.
I think you are a lovely person and I love your personality and the passion you have for what you do. You deserve all your success and I wish you all the luck in the world from the bottom of my heart xxx
Thank you! A friend died today and we are making soap as a family to honor her creative spirit that has passed on. Thank you for making this freely available. I will be sending people to your site.
Wow. "You want to learn how to make soap? Start with all this reading, some safety course, and then we can get in to it!" ... I am so excited. Seriously. The fact that you're presenting the boring stuff tickles something deep with in me in a satisfying way. There's just something about being offered to be taught something the actual right way - for free - that is uniquely amazing. So, Thank you. :)
