Oh sea salt bars are my absolute favourite kind of soap!! Satsuma would be lovely smelling too. These soap are perfect Holly, it's the nature of the beast!! 😉
Oh, gorgeous - salt soaps are my absolute favorites to use, and citrus always smells so heavenly! Your batter remained so amazingly fluid throughout pouring those 3 large loaves. 👏
Good on you Holly honest recording helps all of us. Love your cheerful way your giggle brings such a smile to My face. Yes you pronounce oxo that way. There are oxo cubes beef and chicken great for casseroles etc. I assume same company
I'm obsessed with salt soaps, they're just the best, they feel and they lather amazing and they last for ages. Your orange satsuma with these colours is beautiful too, just gorgeous.
I can't wait to get my hands on a bar of this! Satsuma smells amazing and I've wanting to try a salt soap. Your Rainbow ones sold out before I could get one so I'm setting an alarm for this😄
I'm so glad you upload even when things aren't perfect! I learn so much and love that you still share. We all have trials in soapmaking and sharing our stuggles helps everyone be better soap makers! Thank you, I think they are beautiful and would love to try again with salt. I've tried twice and had total failures both times but I'm not going to give up!!!
Hi Holly! I love how you still make these smaller batches along with everything else you do! I just got my sampler pack from you a few hours ago, they are gorgeous!!
Love the salt soap. I’ve not tried one before. I also like the sound it makes when shaving it too. Sounds like you are having a bit of sinus problems. Hope you are well.
Nice work! :o The rustic look adds a lot of charm to a soap, so I think it works out really well~ I also really liked the sound of the peeler on the bar!
Holly, I have everything you are using even the Satsuma but I still haven’t made a salt bar and that is my favorite soap. You have inspired me once again. 🌸🌺🌸
I love the feel of salt soaps but have only made them once and we don't want to talk about how those turned out...lol Love watching you work through issues.
The Satsuma salt bars are wonderful. The scent sounds awesome. I see what you mean by cutting the bars earlier. You still made a wonderful job of slicing them. 😍 😍
I made a salt soap 2 months ago, and I decided I wasn't going to make it in a long mold, so I decided they were going in individual molds. I happy how they turned out and some co workers and my sister live the feel of them.
I. Love. Salt. Soaps. And omg i love that salty sound when your bevelling the bars too 😂i could watch & listen to that all day, you should definitely do asmr of just that😂🥰
Hey! Holly I just love the thought of cleansing away a hot day with an uplifting citrus soap! It was 39 degrees here in the UK this week!!🥵 Good choice as ever....Keep cool....Thanks as always 💜
Lol, I have a few drawers of soap clothes! You can tell where splashes have hit them. I frequently make the mistake of not changing before I go into the studio! I always think I'll be careful and not ruin another hoodie! Hoeever, this rarely is true, apron or not! So I completely understand your issue! Great video! I love Sumatsu fragrance oil, it smells delicious! (Don't lick the soap!) I learned from you to always use silicone molds for salt soap! Your breaking your own rules, lol! Have a great week Holly!
These are beautiful. I've made salt soaps (in silicone molds b/c I'm afraid of loaf molds) and my batter gets so thick every single time. I wind up glopping the batter into the molds. Your batter stays so nice and fluid - I'm so jealous!
@@moriversoap I think some people think that our soaps should look like mass produced store made soaps as most of the time our soaps look much better 🤭 there are going to be some imperfections only because of all the different materials we all love to use HENCE people ARTISAN lol …. Sometimes I take negative comments to heart because I love making it much (it’s my brain relaxer) 😊
Hello again! How are you? I know this is a random question but where again do you buy your palm oil? There was a video that you talk about it but I can't find it lol. Thanks in advance! And thanks for your relaxing soap videos! 😊
Starting @ 21:02 "And I'm not just saying that to convince my own self, it's just a true story. It is just a true story." 🤣🤣🤣 I literally laughed out loud when you said that because although I'm a perfectionist, I am by no means perfect, and when I put a lot of effort in creating something and I find an issue with it, I need to convince myself that it's handmade and doesn't need to always be perfect. 🤣🤣🤣
With salt soaps, do you need to add way more fragrance due to the extra salt? I noticed I can barely smell mine and put the required amount in with my recipe.
In the attached blog post, Lovin' Soap talks about figuring fragrance oil based on oil + salt. I do increase the fragrance but it doesn't feel right to go all the way with it. I try to be cautious, especially if the fragrance oil already has a low usage rate. lovinsoap.com/2015/09/how-to-formulate-soap-salt-bars/
I love sodium lactate. It just makes soap feel amazing. Since my recipe doesn't use full salt, I find that the sodium lactate does help to tighten it up faster, especially when pouring into individual silicone molds which means the soap doesn't usually gel. Now, did I need it in loaf form?... Probably not, but I still come back to the fact that I just love SL in soap.
Percentages is what you are going to want to learn. Then you can input that into a soap calculator such as Soap Calc and scale your batch up and down to the size you want to make.
Oh god, I can't keep any of my clothes clean too. I just got an alkanet stain on the front of my new dress yesterday & I thought I was being so careful ughh! This is why we can't have nice things..
At working processing files and enjoy one of my favorite Soap maker! Kiss 😘
Awe thanks! I hope you get off work soon!

Citrus is always fantastic in salt soaps.
Good on you Holly honest recording helps all of us. Love your cheerful way your giggle brings such a smile to
My face. Yes you pronounce oxo that way. There are oxo cubes beef and chicken great for casseroles etc. I assume same company
Thank you! 😀
It’s not the same company oxo in the U.K. do the stock cubes and oxo good grips is an American based company
Holly, you had me at Orange. Your salt bars are lovely.
Thank you Karen!
You know Holly I am a citrus addict, lovely, and I love sea salt bars. Those are just pretty the way they are
Thank you Clivia!
I'm obsessed with salt soaps, they're just the best, they feel and they lather amazing and they last for ages. Your orange satsuma with these colours is beautiful too, just gorgeous.
Thank you! They are quite amazing.

Thank you Jessica! I hope you are loving your rainbow ones now.
@@moriversoap Yes, thank you so much! They are all just wonderful ❤️
So much respect 🙏👏🙌 salt bars intimidate me so much!
Thank you Brittany! They can throw me a curve ball every now and again.
I'm so glad you upload even when things aren't perfect! I learn so much and love that you still share. We all have trials in soapmaking and sharing our stuggles helps everyone be better soap makers! Thank you, I think they are beautiful and would love to try again with salt. I've tried twice and had total failures both times but I'm not going to give up!!!
Thank you! I am glad that you enjoy the not amazing batches too.
Love it!!! Was going to purchase that fragrance too with my next order. Thanks Holly, for the great content and inspiration! ❤️
Thank you! Yes, definitely get it! The bars curing smell so good!
There’s our lovely Holly’s face, I’ve never tried a salt soap I must try it. Thanks Holly. 💐💕
Thank you! Salt soaps are very different. Some people love them and some don't like them at all.
Hi Holly! I love how you still make these smaller batches along with everything else you do! I just got my sampler pack from you a few hours ago, they are gorgeous!!
Oh good! I am so glad you love them. Thank you!
love the bars I bet they smell amazing. thanks for sharing!
Thank you Pam!
Love the salt soap. I’ve not tried one before. I also like the sound it makes when shaving it too. Sounds like you are having a bit of sinus problems. Hope you are well.
Thank you! I was fine. I just don't breath as much as I talk. LOL
Nice work! :o The rustic look adds a lot of charm to a soap, so I think it works out really well~

Thank you! I hope you do make a batch.
These salt bars looks so good! Thank you for sharing this lovely video ❤️
Thank you!
Love the soap bars have never tried sea salt bars,the colour is lovely and I love anything citrus expecially 🍊. Thank you for sharing xx
Thank you Jayne!
I love the feel of salt soaps but have only made them once and we don't want to talk about how those turned out...lol Love watching you work through issues.
Uh oh. Haha! They can be a pain. I've lost a few batches due to false trace.
The Satsuma salt bars are wonderful. The scent sounds awesome. I see what you mean by cutting the bars earlier. You still made a wonderful job of slicing them. 😍 😍
Thank you! I've since made a different batch and it cut much better.
I made a salt soap 2 months ago, and I decided I wasn't going to make it in a long mold, so I decided they were going in individual molds. I happy how they turned out and some co workers and my sister live the feel of them.
Salt soaps tend to be super smooth in the individual silicone molds. I usually make them that way. But I am loving these bars.
I. Love. Salt. Soaps. And omg i love that salty sound when your bevelling the bars too 😂i could watch & listen to that all day, you should definitely do asmr of just that😂🥰
Thank you! I am so glad you enjoy it too!
Thanks Holly 😊
Thank you!
I love how looks the swirls…♥️
Thank you!
You are such a fantastic soap maker!
Thank you Charli!
This is beautiful Holly, I love the colors it came out so pretty 😍
Thank you! It's one of my favorite batches to date.
Hey! Holly I just love the thought of cleansing away a hot day with an uplifting citrus soap! It was 39 degrees here in the UK this week!!🥵 Good choice as ever....Keep cool....Thanks as always 💜
Oh yes for sure! I hope you have cooled down now.
Hey! Holly we are having a very dry hot summer this year...send RAIN and soap!! 😀
We are having the same here. It's very frustrating.
That's the word! Frustrating! Hot and bothersome....A shower is the most relaxing joy of the day! Roll on Autunn. 😊💜
I think they’re wonderful.
Thank you Sherry!
I bet that smells amazing!! I love your salt soaps!
It smells amazing! Thank you so much Sharon!
I love your videos! They are so satisfying!
Thank you!

Haha! You definitely do understand my troubles. I did break my own rules and I'm loving it!
If they need to stay warm, have you thought about using seed starting heat mats? They warm to about room temp or a bit higher....
That's an interesting thought!
VERY COOL!!! i LOVE THIS!!!!
Thank you Kelly!
These are beautiful. I've made salt soaps (in silicone molds b/c I'm afraid of loaf molds) and my batter gets so thick every single time. I wind up glopping the batter into the molds. Your batter stays so nice and fluid - I'm so jealous!
Thank you Jini! It really can be confusing to know how much to stick blend these salt soaps.
This is so intertresing hope to do this soon
Thank you Marie!
Rustic = Artisan 😬😎
YES!

Thank you Nina! My palm oil is from Jedwards. it is (or was at the time as I'm out), organic and certified by Fair for Life and Palm Done Right.

@@moriversoap Thanks for your help :)
what do you do with all the crumbles after your done cleaning the bars up?
These don't really serve any purpose so I don't reuse them. They are predominately just salt.
You could be on to something with your coconut and cream idea! Add a pineapple swirl and you'd have Pina colada soap 🧼 😉
Oh very fun. That would be a good one if I could find the right fragrance. Coconut ones tend to discolor or fade to a plastic.
@@moriversoap coconut cream from Brambleberry does not discolor at all Holly and it’s super strong
😍
Where can we buy your orange cream soap?
Our products are available at moriversoap.com. This soap will be on the curing rack until our release towards the end of August.
my hubby is English... he says OXO the way you did... like OX OH... His daughter still sends it to me bc their OXO is waaayyy better than ours here...
That's interesting!
Just wondering, why did you put sodium lactate in a salt soap?
I love sodium lactate. It just makes soap feel amazing. Since my recipe doesn't use full salt, I find that the sodium lactate does help to tighten it up faster, especially when pouring into individual silicone molds which means the soap doesn't usually gel. Now, did I need it in loaf form?... Probably not, but I still come back to the fact that I just love SL in soap.
@@moriversoap ok
Thank you for the answer
Can you post more precise measurements in the recipe? Such as in grams or ounces?
Percentages is what you are going to want to learn. Then you can input that into a soap calculator such as Soap Calc and scale your batch up and down to the size you want to make.
Oh god, I can't keep any of my clothes clean too. I just got an alkanet stain on the front of my new dress yesterday & I thought I was being so careful ughh! This is why we can't have nice things..
Oh no! That's too bad!
wow that's a lot of salt - awesome result though
Thanks! Most soapmakers use 100% salt instead of 50%.
Wnat ki d of cream you uesd
I use organic heavy whipping cream. I use either fresh or dehydrated depending on availability.
