Recycling Soap Scraps - the 1:1 Confetti Method for Cold Process Soap Amy Warden 2024-03-13 | I learned how to make super fine confetti soaps using 1:1 soap scraps with fresh soap from Robert Lackie in 2019. Original video here: youtu.be/PB5UveRDHBEThis time I used the scraps from my daughter's bridal shower favor soaps to make a facial soap for myself. Moral of the story: Shred the soap scraps before they are fully cured and be aware of your color choices!!
Rubiks Cube Soap - my personal soap challenge! Amy Warden 2024-01-11 | The idea for this soap came from the Real or Cake videos that have been popular lately. This one in particular is pretty amazing: instagram.com/p/Cwgpyy8sWs2 Could I make a soap that looks like a real Rubik's cube? You be the judge! The two Rubik's cube soaps that I created were auctioned off individually from my Instagram instagram.com/soapchallengeclub to raise funds for BeHeartfelt, a 501(c)3 non-profit charity that serves homeless children in Guam by partnering with the local schools to provide food, shoes, socks and hygiene kits. The Soap Challenge Club provides opportunities for soapmakers to donate soaps year round. More info: soapchallengeclub.com/soap-donationsThe soap cutting tool that I use in the video is the Caterpillar from Custom Craft Tools. It's incredibly versatile for accurately splitting soap logs, or slicing soap. Use coupon code Soapchallengeclub for 5% off any order at customcrafttools.com

At What Temperature Will Cold Process Soap Melt? Amy Warden 2022-10-11 | Curious what it takes to melt a bar of cold process soap? I visited my brother's powder coating shop to find out!

Fragrance Testing in Cold Process Soap Amy Warden 2022-07-26 | Is it really worth it to take the time and resources to test fragrances in your cold process soap recipe? Excluding the vanilla one, all of the reviews for these fragrances said no acceleration or discoloration. There was definitely one surprise in there! If you use 16 ounces of oils with a 33% lye concentration in your test recipe, you should end up with enough soap for 11 two-ounce portions. One of those can be your control. I don't recommend testing more than this amount at one time as the soap will start to set up in your cups before you are finished testing. You can stir the ones without fragrance added yet periodically to help keep them fluid.The keys to successful testing are organization and preparation and good notes! If you would like a copy of my spreadsheet, you'll find it here: bit.ly/fragrance-test-sheet NOTE: the original Google spreadsheet got deleted somehow. So this is just a physical copy of my Excel spreadsheet that you are welcome to edit.
