How To Make a Layered Melt and Pour Soap (the third soap in my winter line)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- Hi everyone! Here is the third and final winter/Christmas soap for this season! It is a layered soap using melt and pour soap. This is the first soap video I have made using exclusively melt and pour soap. Some of you have been requesting a melt and pour video, so I hope you enjoy it! This soap is made using my most favorite Christmas fragrance, I just love it!
You can find this exact recipe on my patreon page found here: / creator-home
If you were interested in that amazing melt and pour soap cutter I got it here, it is the only one of it's kind: www.etsy.com/s...
This soap will be released on 11/15 with my other winter soaps. If you are interested in purchasing them or any of my other products you can find it here:www.sunshineso...
Just a little FYI that works for me is to mix my mica in a shot glass with a couple sprays of alcohol and it mixes very well and the alcohol will disapate and it mixes in with your melted soap amazingly. No clumps or loose powder that wont mix in it works great. Give it a try.
that's how I do it too. then I dont have mica bursts in my set soap
I saw that the other day and I wondered how well it worked.
yes and it drains it out of the glass nothign to clean otu later or very tiny amnt. I do this with bath bombs , bubble bars, shower steamers and soaps
Great tip.😊👍
Thanks for sharing the video on making the lovely multi-layered soap. Really nice color 🎉
I loved the way the soap turned out. I learned quite a bit about layering melt and pour soap from watching this video, thank you!
thank you!
🎄🎄Just so creative and adorable!! I love that fragrance and the holiday designs are so beautiful!! I use my colors ya and mix them in a tiny bit of alcohol first then pour it into my melt and pour. I seen it a while back and tried it and I believe it makes it easier to incorporate!
This turned out so beautifully and such cuteness!
thank you! Yes, mixing the mica in a bit of alcohol first does help to distribute the mica better.
Kind of reminds me of a Mardi Gras themed soap!
Thanks dear you are a very good teacher
First of all i love the soap and you are so detailed in the video
That’s so beautiful.
My favorite color is the RED taillights as they leave my driveway at Christmas.
thanks!!!! you just helped me a lot ! i’m trying to start a soap business and this was very helpful
Did you ever start your business I'm new to this starting mine soon 🤞🏽
I’m loving that Sierra Nevada brewery hoodie, my company helped with building the new brewery in Asheville
Stephanie Fields thank you! My husband and his family are from Chico! We are fans of the brewery and the sweatshirts:)
So pretty! I really love the colors you chose
23:46 fantastic!!
Beautiful work thank you for sharing ❤
I just seek this. I'm trying to make soap and I've definitely messed up then because I didnt know if it was bubbling or smoking that it's no good. Lol so thank you !!
Beautiful
Love the colors. Turned out very pretty.
How do you get the layers to not separate after cutting? I'll have like 1 bar when I swirl that will separate from the other color... like snap off.
Great question I’ve got the same problem also
I think temperature is the key
Possibly 100 spray RA then pour second layer I’ve failed at this many times so good luck I’ll keep trying also
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🇺🇸
I love silver, purple, and blue for the holiday. Scents are pine and berries
It's beautiful. Great job 👍
Thank you so so very much!!!👠👠👠
Do you have a link for the soap cutter?
Did you only add fragrance to the first two layers only?
Great video. Thanks 🙏🏾
Gorgeous!
But how long do the soaps need to set before the next layer???
This is so cool!!!!
You are so awesome!!!! Thank You!!! You made it so simple!!!
Have you tried the vanilla color stabilizer? I have great luck with it in my M&P soaps.
I have tried it, yes it does work good in mp soaps!
Janette Nassaney nice
How much Fragrance oil did you use?
Great job I enjoyed this so much thank you.
This really helps
Malayah Byrd thank you for watching!
Nice Sierra Nevada sweatshirt! Chico alum here :)
as a beginner melt and pour soap bars, i made some earlier this week and as soon as i took it out of the microwave it started to set, but managed to get it melted and add the color/fragrance into the mold.. turned out well but im still trying to figure out the time measurements
How do you know the amount of soap base you need to fit your mold?
Beautiful soap!!
How much fragrance oil did you use per pound?
Are your cups microwave safe, also what brand are they?
Amazing
can you liquid color instead of mica powder thanks
I'm going to look for this fragrance that sounds wonderful. But I'm curious. I see you don't wear a glove and I'm wondering if you're leaving fingerprints behind on your soap.
I wondered that too. It seems like they always run their fingers all over the soap after they cut when they hold it up to the camera. It's cringey.
My MP didn’t fall through but separated in half after it cured!??? Why? Did I wait to long to pour my 2nd layer?
Yes, it could have been due to pouring too cold. Also, if you use two different soap bases they can have a hard time bonding. Use rubbing alcohol before pouring a layer to help with adhesion as well.
Jillian Shuler I’ve also found when cutting light hatch signs between each layer, I have better adhesion.
Please tell me the name of the cutter mine is awful and ruining my soap thanks
Your pours are mesmerizing! I was into it, I was so happy when I seen the purple layer 😍
Off topic, your skin is gorgeous! Wow! Your facial skin is luminous. The first layer I bounced my eyes back and forth the soap and your skin. 😍
lol, thank you so much! I always think I look so pasty under those lights
Sunshine Soap and Candle Company
No! You have a glow-y look 😍
THIS MAY SEEM SILLY BUT CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THE SOAP BASE IS STAYING LIQUIFIED FOR SO LONG? I'M FAIRLY NEW AT THIS BUT WHENEVER I'M MAKING SOAP, IT COOLS VERY QUICKLY AND I CAN BARELY ADD ANYTHING PRIOR TO POURING BEFORE THAT FILM STARTS DEVELOPING. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I'VE ALSO SEEN A FEW MELT AND POUR SOAP VIDEOS WHERE SOMETHING WAS ALREADY MIXED IN AND THE SOAP BASE LITERALLY STAYED MELTED UNTIL THE PERSON WAS READY TO POUR IT. SOMETIMES FOR 5 MINUTES OR MORE. HOW IS THAT?
BRUH SAME it has this solid sheet on top when i stop stirring idk how they make it so liquid for a long time
@@sevenover42 WELL SINCE I RESPONDED ON THIS VIDEO, AND AFTER MORE RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THE CLEAR SOAPS STAY LIQUID LONGER FOR SOME REASON.
I'M GONNA START USING CLEAR MORE AND KEEP SOME WHITE AROUND IN CASE I WANT TO INCORPORATE IT. I ALSO REALIZED THAT THE WHITE BASE JUST NEEDS TO KEEP BEING STIRRED AS IT'S COOLING. NOT TOO LONG THOUGH OR THAT STUPID FILM STARTS.
@@TONAIYAWILSON DAAAMN THANKS MATE. THAT FILM INFURIATES ME. I GUESS THERES NO SOLUTION FOR WHITE BASES. THANKS FOR REPLYING
@@sevenover42 I GUESS NOT BUT NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
Hi, is there a difference in cutting a loaf from a cold process and a loaf from a melt and pour? Is the loaf harder after 12 hours than a cold process loaf?
Haleemah Abdul-Muhaymin yes melt and pour soap is much harder and can’t be cut using a cutter made for cold process soap
Fishing line will cut clean through melt and pour and glycerin soap. Doesn't even leave a scratch.
this may sound weird but i loved this video! even the family interactions in the back, felt very natural. thank u for your tips
PrincessDy thank you! My living space and work space are very connected, lol!
So I made my own soap this past weekend and they turned out beautiful but the natural smell of the soap is more over powering than the fragrance oil. Is there a way to smell more of the fragrance oil then the soap smell? Sure Maybe change soaps? I used honey soap and shea butter soap.
Love the video! Can you manipulate the top layer like you can in cold process soap? Can you also add extra soap figurines in the layers (for ex. Mermaid tales etc.)? TIA!
How do you keep your soaps from setting so quick? Ours started to get a skin on the top so quickly!!
my trick is alcohol I add it into the mix....it just takes the soap longer to set....but it keeps it fluid longer
How much do you add into the mix? I have the same problem with it beginning to set right away. Is there an amount that you add into it, or do you spray it on top once it's melted?
@@raddecostudio1679 you can add while melting and after wards.....from my work once you keep spraying the top the soap doesnt set up
What r u looking for when u check the soap
Very nice 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Just found your channel and subscribed. Like how you use ordinary items for making your soap (plastic spoon & fork 😃👍🏼). Love that soap! Please, Please tell me how do you keep your melted soap melted? Mine usually starts to set up and I have to reheat. Thanks.
Hi JoAnn, thank you so much for watching and thank you for subscribing. I think you need to heat your soap up a little more if it is setting up while you pour. Also, I melt the layers seperately, I melt it down right before pouring to the next layer.
Sunshine Soap and Candle Company , Thank you so much for responding.
Is that wax, or parchment paper that you used underneath while chopping?
High standards it’s a piece of paper towel
High Standards., parchment paper will also do.
So does every layer have the fragrance or just one or two? and the soap is pretty came out nice. Is the Mica safe for your skin?
Last image is Casey Neistat on the beach filmed with his drone lol
could you share where you got the cutter from please? I apologize if someone already asked in the thread....
where do you get your measuring plastic cups..i like those
When you cut the first piece of soap and showed it to the camera, I so badly wanted to sniff it 🤭😊 So beautiful!
Can u add anything to this soap! Like coconut oil or castor oil????
Can we add essential oils and oils such as coconut oil and vegetable glycerine to this base ?
COOL
i do layers and in middle layer dont stack together, what im do wrong?
Is there anything I can add to my melt and pour base to make it last
longer? I was reading that adding two teaspoons of salt per pound helps the soap
last longer. Have you tried it before?
How do you know there a non bleeding colorant. Love the soap
In the description of the colorant on their website it should say if it is. Also most mica colorants don't bleed. It is the lab colors that bleed.
Sunshine Soap and Candle Company thank you. I’m just starting out doing lots of reading and watching videos. Yours are some of my favorite thank you
Artiefrog have you watched Tree Marie, Soy and Shea, Royalty Soaps & Bramble berry videos, they are also some of the informative soap making video out there.
Should we use the 5lb soap mold
Could you advise me if my soap separates on each layer after drying out 😬😓 would you have any advice? Your video is amazing 👏
Mine did too! Wondering why........
For
Melting
Soap
Can I use
Aloe
Oil
Instead
Of
Aloe Vera
Does anyone know where she got the cutter please?
Do you still need one?
This is a lil late but I used Apple Balsam from #Brambleberry for the first time this year and omgurd it’s amazing. It’s xmas in a bottle! It has the pine notes, sweetness from the apple, Jasmine notes... It’s gorgeous 👍
For some reason I can’t get my layers to stick together. I’ve tried everything..I spray with RA, I watch my temperatures... IDK. I do like MP because of how well it holds Fragrance and how it shows off mica colors. I gave up on it though. Lol I only use it for embeds in my CP now. I love this soap... It’s beautiful!
How do you avoid a skin on the soap surface after melting? At 120 degrees or so mine has a skin.
Can you actually use the soap? Does the dye color your skin.?
Can you use goats milk m&p base, of course different colors?
Where did you buy your mold from withe box and what size is it thanks
What’s the fragrance
Hey if anyone can help me but I’m new to making soap and everytime I went to make layers it fall apart (literally) any tips.
My smell just doesnt have keep that aroma to it...like when i shower i smell it on the soap but you know when you get out the shower and walk past the bathroom and still smell the soap you used? It doesnt do that. How can i achieve that? Im using goat milk soap melt and pour from Amazon and bramble berry fragrances. PLEASE HELP
my melt and pour soap keeps havingsolid sheets on top when i stop mixing :(
Beautiful Soap! Where did you buy your soap cutter?
Love your soap can you please tall me how many pounds of soap did you use all together
5 lbs
Can you do the same shapes and colors and sents with melt and pour that you do with cold process soap.
Yes, and no...you can use the same fragrances in melt and pour but design options are a bit more limited with melt and pour. You cannot swirl melt and pour the same way.
hi where can i buy a soap cutter like the one you have in your video?
I’m upgrading my 10.2"x 2.7"x 3.1" to a (20” x 15” x 3-1/2”) mold how much do you think I should double my measurements?
Wow! That mold will hold 441 ounces of oil which is about 130 5 oz bars. Hope you have a big bucket! Thats huge.
How do I decipher which mica powders will bleed?
Hi there, micas don't bleed. It is the lab or liquid colors that do that.
Is the melt and pour soap cutter a wire cutter
yes, it is a really thick wire.
Where do you get the cutter? I can't find wire cutter that is as strong as yours.

This is the one I have
My MP base doesn’t stay liquid like that 🤔
Why, what happens to it?
Sunshine Soap and Candle Company After stirring for a little while, it starts setting up and I don’t ever feel like I have time for a smooth pour.
MoonChildSoaps try spraying a bit of rubbing alcohol while you stir. Also, maybe try a different soap base
Sunshine Soap and Candle Company Thank you. Maybe I’m just not that skilled at it yet. But I do find it harder to deal with than CP soaps.
this happened to me when I used s soap base I got on Amazon. I now use the bramble berry base and it does not set as quickly. I live in high humidity region if that matters
Where did you buy your melt and pour cutter
Hi!!!!! I made this one Friday night and just cut them and half of my bars the color levels separated.......any help would be appreciated greatly!
Hi there, the layers can separate if you are not using rubbing alcohol between layers. Also, the layer you are pouring on needs to be warm still. And all the melt and pour soap should be the same soap base.
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany That’s probably what happened I did spritz alcohol in between the bases but I think my bases may have been too cool by the time I put on the next layer. And My soap base was all from the same soap
Where did you get that soap cutter I’m looking for one like that?
I cut mine with fishing line. Cuts clean through melt and pour very smoothly. If you can ignore too much talking, I have a couple videos showing this. Not to many soapers realize you can do it but you can :)
❤️❤️❤️
Hi. I have a question fo you. I am a melt and pour soap maker and doing layered soaps. For some reason when cutting it my layers come apart. Is this normal?. Is there anything i can do to prevent it?. Thankyou. Xx
I’m having this problem to did you ever find an answer
@@levidenver7302 i have had a couple of replies. Mainly suggesting using more rubbing alcohol between each layer. So wait for the layer to dry, spray with RA and then put the next layer on. The other suggestion is to score between each layer. I have yet to give it another go but will try both options next time and see what works. Xx
Cool! Not sure if I'll do layers when I start getting into the soap making (soon, still researching how to make, what products are available, since I have to buy online, that are not carcinogenic, etc., and just checked and found mica is usually good, some people may have mild reactions). But it's nice to know how so that if I do, I have a video to refer back to. Not sure if I will use mica, as there are other natural options for color that also have their health benefits.
I'm really enjoying watching the alcohol remove the bubbles.
You can make orange soap with turmeric powder! It’s a spice used for cooking. Btw it stains!!!
@@MusicGirl114 I'm familiar with turmeric. It's an ingredient in mustard and a super food because of all the health benefits.
Sodium hydroxide How to mixed
Can you add body wash to scent soap base?
Patrick sarno All fragrance oils will say if they are skin safe.
I just made my first batch of melt and pour layered soap and used the idea of blowing on first layer and then poured the 2nd layer. My 2nd layer still seperated when I cut it. Will the alcohol spritz make the difference for next time ?
How big is your mold?
I got it, 5 pounds each
looked up the cutter 130.00 for any wondering..be nice investment if making alot of mnp soaps! ty for another awesome video!
The only downfall is it won't cut slabs of melt and pour into logs into bars. Mine will and it uses surprisingly fishing line :)
30 lb fishing line will cut smoothly through anything. Its built like a tank and can be stored in a drawer.
You used a small amount of rubbing alcohoy to remove the bubbles and the make the second layer of soap adhere. Do you have to add that to your ingredient content list?
💜💙💚❣
Do you like soap making or candle making. Which do you like the most?
I like them both the same, lol!!
Tired....but my colour separated after drying..😭
Do you have a preference for the low sweat bases? Does it really make a difference? Great video!
Yes it does make an bug difference. I like the low sweat base from Nurture Soap
