I love swirling melt and pour! This looks fun. You mentioned doing Mica lines at one point. I've never been successful with that. The layers always separate. What's your secret to that?
We've found that when creating each mica line, take care to completely cover the soap evenly. Just be careful to not add too much color. This can cause the soap to separate 💜
@@Ninja9687_I think they mentioned adding suspension ingredients in at around 130'F, stir and pour. If ur soap base is too hot or ingredients too heavy , they will sink to the bottom. Watch their coffee grind MP soap video bcz they suspend grinds in the soap.
Most melt and pour bases can take up to 5% additives. You can add some skin loving oils to them but remember, the more you add the less lather you get!
Not a question for the video but I just bought some oils and one was anise. My husband and I absolutely love the licorice scent that anise has but I am wondering how it acts in CP?
how can you tell when your cold process soap is fully cured? I know it takes 4-6 weeks but what are some factors to look for to make sure it's all ready to go?
How much sea clay we should use for a better result? And if i want to add plant extracts how much I should add ? Plant extracts with 10:1 ratio with water can it be used in MP soap making or it will effect the hardness of the soap?
You're welcome to add another teaspoon of sea clay for a darker color. You could add up to an ounce of plant extract, melt and pour soap is formulated to accept up to 5% additives including fragrance oils and extracts.
Absolutely! We like to disperse the charcoal first by mixing 1 teaspoon of charcoal with 1 tablespoon of 99 percent isopropyl alcohol. This helps it mix into the soap batter more smoothly.
I was trying to get that 125 130 temperature but I ended with clumps.I did re temperature and stirred constantly. Help what did I do wrong. Also notice on other soap a grayish color on the bottom that is expose to air. What can I do. I use alcohol right. Lost....

M&P is often underrated and dismissed by CP and HP soap makers. They're still great and beautiful in their own right.
Agree!
I find the cold process frightening but melt & pour a lot safer.
Beautiful
ah i found you through safiya and now im addicted to soap videos
Thanks for the kind words!
Just starting to make soap, and thank you for a lovely idea. 🥰

Me gusta mucho como lo explica 👍 gracias
Wow, I'm able to catch this
Outstanding. 👍
Love the videos and products …. Verified customer…
I love this! I will have to try for sure!
Thank you i love how you teach
if i wanted to add exfoliates to the mix what temperature do you recommend adding them in at?
You can add exfoliants any time by stirring them after trace!
@@bramble-berry what do you consider trace in melt and pour?

Why when I do melt and pour, they always harden too quick. What can I mix with the soap base? I really hope to do something like that! Great video! :)
Melt n Pours are usually ready within a couple of the hours unlike CP soaps.
Most melt and pour bases can take up to 5% additives. You can add some skin loving oils to them but remember, the more you add the less lather you get!
Pls do video for nettle leaves soap mnp method
ยินดีที่ได้เห็นคุณทำสบู่
Can you store melt & pour soap bars in Ziploc bags?
Yes!
Not a question for the video but I just bought some oils and one was anise. My husband and I absolutely love the licorice scent that anise has but I am wondering how it acts in CP?
I know you probably posted your question for Anne Marie but just thought I'd share that star anise worked great for me in CP soap! Behaved perfectly.
We've found that anise behaves well in CP soap 💜

Hardness of the bar( not easily dented through any force whatsoever.
Besides a harder bar, the pH will have come down a little bit too.
How much sea clay we should use for a better result? And if i want to add plant extracts how much I should add ? Plant extracts with 10:1 ratio with water can it be used in MP soap making or it will effect the hardness of the soap?
You're welcome to add another teaspoon of sea clay for a darker color. You could add up to an ounce of plant extract, melt and pour soap is formulated to accept up to 5% additives including fragrance oils and extracts.
@@bramble-berry thank you so much for the information..
I see you mentioned the ph of your melt & pour... Other than using sci for a shampoo bar...can glycerin soap be used?
We haven't tried that yet, though have heard that melt and pour tends towards less of a daily shampoo and more of a remove build up shampoo.
@@bramble-berry Thats interesting, hoping to see a video on that some day.
Can you use charcoal for the black layer color?
Absolutely! We like to disperse the charcoal first by mixing 1 teaspoon of charcoal with 1 tablespoon of 99 percent isopropyl alcohol. This helps it mix into the soap batter more smoothly.
How long is the shelf life of this soap?
It has a shelf life of about a year.
Thank you for your reply..❤
When using this soap will it fall apart ? Anyone know ?

It may need to be heated a little bit more to melt the clumps
