Im loving the new look. I started making soap 15 years ago, i did a course and every now and again i atop for a year or two. Your channel is always a great refresher course and full of fabulous ideas and fun.
You have read our minds! Coconut Milk soap is actually on our "to do" list for what to make this week, so hopefully there will be a video up on it within the next 2 or 3 weeks :-)
Many thanks for this excellent tutorial! I am planning to make a Clementine (Christmas mandarin orange) soap, with annatto infusion for colorant. Your beautiful Taiwan swirl is exactly what I need for it! If it comes out half as beautiful as yours, I will be right over the moon!🐄🌛 Wishing you a wonderful holiday season, and a new year of peace and prosperity! Keep up the good work, and know you are sincerely appreciated! ❤🎄🥰
That's what we thought - and it only took 3 days of shifting furniture about, stress, testing angles and mini arguments to come up with a set up that worked - haha!
The soap looks amazing. Your set up is fantastic and I am really enjoying your videos, they are so informative and thank you for explaining everything x
I can't cut straight with those cutters either. I've tried everything including marked paper underneath so I know where I'm aiming for and it still didn't work but the wobbly version of the cutter is more forgiving. Fab video. Thank you
I am terrible for wonky cutting! Even with non-soap things like bread! Wayne hates it when I make a sandwich with un-sliced bread as he knows when he next goes to use it it will be on the diagonal slant :-D
What a gorgeous sounding `Soap Anne. I would imagine it has a wonderful creamy lather. You are extremely generous with your knowledge, and your videos are always so interesting and informative to watch. On the theme of Milks, I think a coconut milk would be good. Also, do you ever do Hot press soap? if so, it would be good to hear your views and see a video describing the two and the differences (if any) in the end product. Thanks again Anne, and of course, your very able camera assistant Wayne haha...Terry
Hey Ms Anne, to start out making my own, basically for my nephew who is allergic to all soaps in the stores, to keep costs down, can you use just coconut oil and shea butter, or are all the oils necessary? And thank you for sharing your recipes. Love from across the pond in Tennessee!
Okay so I'm ready to jump into goats milk soap for the house. Is supermarket goats milk useable? I found oatmilk loaded with extras so I wasn't sure about goats milk. Thank you very much. I love all your videos no matter the format but looking very swish now 👍
Hi Debs, yes, we use supermarket Goat's Milk as it is near on impossible to find other sources of Goat's Milk where we live unfortunately. Just try and make sure it is full fat milk if possible and obviously the less additives the better :-) Good luck!
Nothing to do with this video but I have gathered my courage and got 3 flexi assessments from soap posh. Question, could you make a video about soap posh and the package for assessment for rinse off products, more specifically about the variation pack, UK only or Europe. Thank you honey x
Hi Stefania, what questions in particular would you like covered and for which products (soap or bath bombs etc). Obviously I couldn't share the recipe (I won't have it myself unless it is an assessment i happen to own from them) but I would be happy to delve deeper into their assessments :-)
A mitre box would help you cut straighter; just need to work out a way to pad the gaps a bit, as they are a bit too wide and still allow too much leeway for the blade to go off course.
Thank you for this video, enjoyed the technique and your new set is very nice. I will say (and just observing, not criticizing) that it looks like you have to stretch out to work under the overhead camera - perhaps a bit awkward for you?
Thank you Debby! The camera angle may give the illusion it is a bit of a stretch! In reality it is not too bad, I do have to reach forwards more than before but the only thing it has so far caused inconvenience with was when I was trying to mix in some bath bomb ingredients by hand - getting my hands into the deep mixing bowl was a bit of a pain!
Interesting about the steric spots, I got those in my last attempt, I tried soaping at a lower temp to have more time to work with it, but then I think I over blended (so I rewatched emulsion spotting videos) and then when I added EOs it got super thick, so made no difference anyway! 🤦♀️
Yes, stearic spots can be a pain! We don't tend to get them with most of our soaps as we soap at a higher temperature, but because the Goats Milk ones are done so low, they are much more prone to them! To be honest, they don't bother me too much, obviously I would rather not have them but if they do appear it's not the end of the world!
Lovely soap Anne. Also a gorgeous end result. Such an appropriate colour choice for the EO's used. I'd love to see more milk type soaps (oat and coconut and almond). I'd love to also hear your thoughts on colloidal oat powder as an additive.

Beautiful soap. Looks like pure sun 🌞
Thank you :-) I get sunshine vibes from this one too!
Love the new format, also love goat milk soaps. Thanks Anne and Wayne 👍👍
You are welcome Jill and thank you for the kind comment!
I love your video!! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!! I love British people!! You are so sweet!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are very welcome! I can be sweet when I want to be, but I am sure my family would tell you that I can also be a massive pain at times too! :-D
@@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany Don’t we all? 🤣😂🤣 Thank you!! 🙌🏻🦋🤗
So pretty. Thank you for all the info you are sharing
Gorgeous ❤ the design looks like flames 🔥 🔥 🔥
That is what we thought too! I loved how well the colours seemed to work with each other :-)
I liked the different camera angles. I hope you might be up for some coconut milk soap next

Great video, as always. Love you ❤️
Thank you :-)
That is how I make my goat milk soaps. Frozen cubes and the ice bath method. I love that taiwan swirl.
Excellent.. So helpful

Hi Ann, love watching you, its a great setup, very easy to watch, thanks
Thank you so much :-) Glad you are enjoying the videos and new setup!
So nice to see a yellow soap, it’s glorious thankyou
You are welcome and thank you for the kind comment :-)
Great tutorial on a goat's milk Taiwan swirl. Thanks for sharing your lovely bars!
You are welcome :-) We loved how these ones came out!
Oh that's lovely.
Thank you :-)

Why not mark the loaf at both sides before cutting? That way it's easy to line up the cutter... ❤ from the Netherlands

Try using a miter box to get your straight lines...😅
Pls I want traduction french or Arabic
Keep vinegar on hand to counteract the lye should it splash too!
The way you cut the soap is mildly infuriating
