If you sold the unscented coconut milk soap, I would totally buy it!!! I'd love to support your brand but am really sensitive to scents. So far I've contented myself by looking at all the beautiful and fun things you create :)
Even though I love scented soaps, that plain coconut bar was so beautiful and simple and calming looking! I think it’d be amazing if she added a soap like that to her collections once in a while.
YES, good idea! I’d also get behind that, because it’d be dye free and I wouldn’t have to worry about the scents either. I’ve also done the same thing with the soap videos, enjoying them from afar, don’t want to risk it with my asthma.
@@roselewis24 give it a go! I was scared of using lye, but it's really not something to worry about as long as you use your safety gear. Respect the lye, don't fear it.
As an elementary art teacher I love love that you post when things go wrong. That is how crafting and art goes sometimes . I always ask my kids when do artists stop making mistakes? They often answer when they are adults or experts. I say “never” Our class motto is “make strong mistakes” because it proves you are taking creative risks and learning.
My niece wants to learn to crochet like her mom, or knit like me. But she wants to be perfect like us right off the bat. I keep trying to tell her that the more advanced you get, the more mistakes you make, but the better you get at fixing the mistakes (or the better you get at hiding them or shrugging them off). She doesn't believe me. Or rather, she didn't believe me, until she heard me mutter "oh crap" one day when working on a sweater. Her jaw hit the floor. I didn't tell her that it was super minor and only took me about 5 seconds to fix, only that I made a mistake. Wish she'd seen the mistake I made a couple weeks ago. Took me 2 hours to fix! (Super advanced lace, and I dropped a stitch that went down 3 rows...)
Well this cements the Duchess of Suds as true royalty in the soap making community. Not everyone would have the guts to post such a major fail and then go to all the effort of discovering why the failure happened and using it as a teaching moment for all our baby soap makers. Soap is a finicky art, and no matter how experienced and skilled you are, you're going to have the occasional batch go sideways.
You always say to do something fun for myself but what you don't know is watching these videos IS the fun thing I've done for my self. Im a whole step ahead
If they stated that it was soap safe....then you should be entitled to some kind of refund. Pretty sure there are consumer protection laws on that. Either way, I enjoyed this video, it's nice to learn along with you. :D
Not necessarily. It very well could be melt and pour safe, which is still technically soap. They just aren't cold process friendly. Should they say that on their site? Absolutely, but it's not totally wrong to say soap safe when M&P is soap too
@@kristinatroxell9561 I don’t think that holds up imo. Soap encompasses a wide range of categories as you pointed out. The fact that cold-process soap does not work with this fragrance already disproves their logic. If they say it is soap safe, then it should include ALL kinds of soap, otherwise it would be a logical fallacy.
Katie...I needed this so much. I just had a batch go south and I wanted to give up. Thank you for showing me that even a rockstar like you can have things go sideways. I'll keep going!!
I love how raw and honest Katie is with us. When she fails she still puts it out there and it makes we few more normal when I fail sometimes ♥️❤️ love her so much ❤️♥️
Thank you for doing a controlled experiment for us. I just made a Coconut Lime soap. Nurture's Soap and Rustic Escentals, Coconut Lime smells amazing. I will not be trying AFI. You could always do coconut candles or wax melts.
I love the use of the scientific method in the troubleshooting of the source of the curdling! The chemist in me is crying happy tears! The soaper in me is also super happy to get this information! Thank you for doing your experiments and sharing your results!
@@TheKarret tbf the first ice age is 7 years older than Monsters vs. Aliens (2002 vs 2009). Think a bit people just remember it better because it became a movie series and not a lot of people watched the first one at least people I know. Edit: Both are very good movies imo
@@j4605 Yeah, true. Though, older doesn't necessarily mean more obscure - most people know a lot of Disney's old stuff, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, iirc was from the 30s, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, all well known and made long ago. Even other movies like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is still well-known and referenced. I don't think Monsters vs. Aliens got as popular as Ice Age - I was like 11 when that came out and I remember it being everywhere; I hardly ever heard anything about Monsters vs. Aliens; no promo for it, rarely aired on TV... it definitely seems to have fallen through the cracks, even though it's more recent, so that's why I suggested that one as an obscure movie. Movies that fall through the cracks are the ones that get labeled "obscure", while the popular old ones get "classic" instead. Frozen will probably be considered a "classic" to most people as time goes on because of how huge it got, with whole years going by of LET IT GOOOOOOOO etc; but I don't think Coco hit that same level of high when it first came out; it made quite a few hundred million less in the box office, it could fade and become more obscure in the future. That's all I was getting at~ o vob
I tell people that if they want to be friends with us (hubby and I) that there is a required viewing list. Otherwise, they won't know what we're talking about half the time.
Oh, I love seeing your troubleshooting process to figure out which element wasn't working! Thank you so much for showing that as well as the failed batch, figuring out how to learn from failures (and which ingredients are/aren't safe to use!) is so important in all kinds of crafting and business stuff, it's so nice to see how you handle it.
Really enjoyed the science testing portion of this one! You might have had a botched soap but seeing you test everything and show the results was super satisfying!
I love that not only do we get to see the problem-solving process, but also what to look for to know if our own batches go bad. So educational! Great job, Katie! ❤️
Katie, you're awesome! Who else would have a soap fail, have a lot of expensive product you can't use and still be upbeat and bubbly, AND use it as a lesson learned? Only you. Thanks for sharing this.
The fact that you took this in stride, properly tested everything to get to the bottom of it, and then showed us? Amazing. You're so helpful and thoughtful 💜
I made a Cruella inspired soap this morning using a Tobacco and Amber scent.. it was almost soap on a stick and I almost cried. I'll update y'all tomorrow on how it came out.
I can't express in words how this hit me. I was taking a shower earlier and thought, "I should do a Disney Villains soap line... Wait... Wtf would Cruella DeVille even smell like??? Definitely not 'typically feminine'. Hmm..." Synchronicity is a mfer!
Thank you so much Katie for educating and entertaining! I started making soap last year with the Royal Academy series. Seeing the bad batches with the good is so helpful in learning. I appreciate that you show these different aspects of soap making.
Thank you for being an oasis of calm and fun. Some days the hits just keep coming, but watching one of your videos gives me the ability to reset and finish out my day on a positive note. I really appreciate all you have done.
Katie, I DID do something fun for myself, I watched YOU sweetie! You make me happy and I smile from ear to ear when I watch your videos. I bet I'm not the only person that you make happy with them! You are talented and always genuinely yourself, and you bring such a sweet vulnerability to everything you do. Your gentle, caring personality are so endearing to your fans. You always, ALWAYS lift my mood and although I have no intention of ever making any soap, I love watching you do it. Katie, it's not the soap that grabs my attention, it's you! Your happy, bubbly, excited, and joyful personality just makes me happy too. You are the only soap maker I continually watch. Although I have looked at the others, they can't keep my attention and give me any of the joy and happiness that you do. You are an absolute gem of a person and I think you're amazing! Your eccentricities are what make you so charming and engaging. Please never change. You are perfect just as you are. May God bless you and your entire family, keeping His hand of protection always over you. In Jesus Christ's Holy name. Amen.
Girl you need your money back! AFI needs to send you replacement fragrance oils or reimburse you because both of those oils performed horribly! Even if the scope of the problem was a combination of both, you’d still have poor performing soaps by themselves. Thank you so much for sharing this failure.
I'd be tempted to try it in a recipe with no milk at all, just a basic castille or bastile. It's the one element she did not test in this video, and milk (like sugar or salt) can be a wild card.
Ugh coconut! Love the smell, but it always separates!! I used to do a coconut/vanilla blend that would separate, and I'd have to blend it out for about 5 minutes, at which point it would come back together and be super runny😂 It smelled fantastic, though.
I mix Exotic Coconut from WSP with Coconut from CS in a 50/50 ratio. The scent is relatively light and it discolors to a tan, but I've never had separation issues. I hope that helps.
I really love learning from you. The soaps you make are beautiful and you have the cutest personality, like you clearly really love what you do, but every time you teach me something about your craft, those are my favorite moments. Thanks for sharing a fail so that I could learn.
New soap maker here and I’m literally relieved that this happened. I stepped out of my comfort zone (not a big step) and tried a new recipe recently. This exact thing happened and I’ve been trying to get up the courage to make a new batch because I felt like a total failure. Now, I wonder if it was a fragrance mishap and not me. Maybe there’s hope in my soap making future! LOL Thanks for being so up front even when things go wonky!!!
I really love that you showed this whole tutorial to make sure people are well aware of the issues. As much as I know it hurt that this batch failed so badly but I am glad you showed us.
I totally agree Katie. This week has had five months in it... or at least it feels that way. Lost my momma rather suddenly... thanks for the chuckle and the calming aura you share.
Aww, Katie. It was so pretty, too. Looked like a toasted coconut cream pie, my favorite. That is a huge jug of something not to work!! I'd still want some because it smells nice.
I've always wondered that. I wouldn't want to put it in a trash bag because it's so liquid-y, and if the bag rips, I wouldn't want anything caustic getting on the garbage collection people.
Sad not to see a response to this, as it seems like a really important question? Particularly if anyone's doing a similar process at home and also has a fail!
@@anna_in_aotearoa3166 i bet they have some sort of hazardous waste container( think they might have to by law don't quote me) for disposal of failed batches and have to call a special company that can either collect it or they can at least take it to somehow.
I don’t even know how i came across your channel in the first place or why i clicked on your video one day. I am in fact allergic to soap, but i am happy i did because i love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this with us. I think it’s important for us to see that even the bigger company’s go through soap fails still after years making soap.
THANK YOU! Thank you for showing us your soap fails and what to look for when making soap! I am so appreciative of this video because now I know what to look for when I don’t think my soap is good. I ❤️ U !
I love how this went from "oh no the batch is ruined" to "let's do a really precise science experiment"
Totally!
I almost wish she made a mini batch of the 50/50 blend as well, just to hammer the nail in the coffin
If you like the science of soapmaking, check out I Dream In Soap.
So much math.
Aesthetically pleasing.
English accent.
“Oh no! 😰Our Soap! 🧼 It’s ruined! 😫”
This reminds me of “OH NO OIR TABLE ITS BROKEN 😞”
Me: I wonder how click baity this title is.
Katie: This is not click bait.
Video: Was not click bait.
Me: I love it here.
Welcome to the amazing land of Royalty soap
Welcome! We all love it here!
Same. Katie never disappoints us.

Hmmm ... something seems odd to me, can't quite put my finger on it though XD
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that
Phew. I thought I was hearing things.
I mean to be fair it's kind of felt that way...
@@ThornAmidstRoses anniversary of the 2-week lockdown

Do something fun for yourself? Ok I'll just watch another royalty soap video
😂😂
So true, she’s just a sweetheart and her video’s are so much fun!
Same here, her videos are one of my favorite things
Same! Especially because her videos are so soothing when I've had a hard day.
Soap: *fails*
Katie: *looking at the fragrance oils* you're going to court and you're being put on trial
Off with their heads!
If they stated that it was soap safe....then you should be entitled to some kind of refund. Pretty sure there are consumer protection laws on that. Either way, I enjoyed this video, it's nice to learn along with you. :D
yup, the labels are making fraudulent claims. She's a business, not a hobbyist, so she lost money due to their labels.
Not necessarily. It very well could be melt and pour safe, which is still technically soap. They just aren't cold process friendly. Should they say that on their site? Absolutely, but it's not totally wrong to say soap safe when M&P is soap too
It can still be soap safe. It is just not cold process friendly. It can be used in melt & pour or hot process or even liquid soap with no problems.

I feel like an unscented bar with milks and such would be nice as a regular bar for people who like fun soap but can't handle scents
I love how raw and honest Katie is with us. When she fails she still puts it out there and it makes we few more normal when I fail sometimes ♥️❤️ love her so much ❤️♥️
And she made it educational and scientific! :)
I see coconut candles, wax melts and scent sticks in the future for your family
That's what I was thinking! I really want to see what she does with the extra fragrance
Same 😂
I hope she does a video where she experiments with a bunch of different things she could do with the fragrances!
I was going to say the same thing. Coconut wax melts or beach candles would be my choice.
Thank you for doing a controlled experiment for us. I just made a Coconut Lime soap. Nurture's Soap and Rustic Escentals, Coconut Lime smells amazing. I will not be trying AFI. You could always do coconut candles or wax melts.

"this is the first week that have like five month in it", yes, I feel it tooooo
Lol yup I was like "oh I feel you Katie on that one"
I had to pause the video and comment the same thing!
Came to the comments knowing I wasn’t the only one. This week has felt like 5 months and it’s only Wednesday 😭

It sounds incredible, I’m sorry the batter didn’t behave for you! Hopefully the saponification gods will work their magic on it overnight 🙏

Also, "this week is one of the ones with 5 months in it" sums up this week perfectly 🤣

Ugh coconut! Love the smell, but it always separates!! I used to do a coconut/vanilla blend that would separate, and I'd have to blend it out for about 5 minutes, at which point it would come back together and be super runny😂 It smelled fantastic, though.
I had no idea that this could even happen! As a baby soaper, that shot of the separated oil all sitting in the slab mold was horrifying lol 😂

Not gonna lie, I saw the thumbnail and I thought you were making macaroni soap! 😆😆😆
I thought bananas! Lol
I love that you did the experience batches to really show the difference with each fragrance oil. I love how raw you are on your channel.

Thanks for sharing your learning experiences with us!
"this is the first week that has like 5 months in it..." I feel you, sister. I feel you.
I'm glad that you show it like it is, mistakes and all. It's real. Everything will not always turn out right, but its fun to see what happens.
"This is the first week that has five months in it".........me too, Katie. Me too.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I think it’s important for us to see that even the bigger company’s go through soap fails still after years making soap.
Ok, the high pitched Luke Skywalker meme 🤣 Perfection! I'm assuming I have Caleb to thank for the belly laughs.
Caleb is such a great editor 😂
Fascinating! This is super interesting especially the troubleshooting! Thanks!

Katie, like the comment above me!
THANK YOU! Thank you for showing us your soap fails and what to look for when making soap! I am so appreciative of this video because now I know what to look for when I don’t think my soap is good. I ❤️ U !
