[iloveraina9]

[soapqueentv]

@iloveraina9 Now that you've figured out how to do it, I'm sure your next batch will go much faster!

hi Anne i want to ask a question to you if you will reply me than it will be very very helpful to me what is that acid which is the best skin cleanser which can remove dead skin form the face in soaps and cosmetic cream as well

\my email id is

[soapqueentv]

@surilyskala I'm not sure what's best - what kind of skin cleanser you use kind of depends on your personal preference. I never use soap on my face, and I'm always trying out new recipes and cleansers.

[vascheergirl18]

can you brake the soap mold im scard that i will brake the mold???

[soapqueentv]

@vascheergirl18 Yes, if you flex a plastic mold too much you can break it. So always apply slow gently pressure and remember you aren't pushing the soap out just breaking the air-lock so that the soap can slide out.

Also, if you put your soap in the freezer to help pop it out easier remember that the cold plastic is more brittle and can easily break.

Happy Soaping!

Those are gorgeous!!!!

[polymerclayfreak]

Does M&P soap have to be cured like CP?

[soapqueentv]

@polymerclayfreak No, melt & pour soap can be used immediately - unlike Cold process soap which needs to be cured for 4 to 6 weeks.

I love your videos unlike most tutorials on YouTube, it's not fast or inaccurate or unpracticed. Thank you! I'd like to be able to but essential oils in the store because I'm not a fan of shopping online. Do you know if whole foods, ac Moore, michaels, or shop rite may have them? Frangrence too.... Thanks!

[soapqueentv]

@ulietjay Whole Foods would probably have some great essential oils. Fragrance oils can be found at Michael's and anywhere that sells soapmaking supplies. Make sure that whatever you use it is skin-safe and cosmetic grade.

[mariemare89]

your videos are great! I'm just starting to make soaps for my business and these videos help a lot.

[katluver005]

i would make some "pearls" out of white soap and some sparkly oxide or mica and put them in the center of the shells during the final layer pouring for a little surprise :) !

[soapqueentv]

@katluver005 That is a great idea!

[ohhaiichar]

i don't make soap and i don't really have a great deal of interest in soaps, but i'm addicted to these videos. xD

[soapqueentv]

@ohhaiichar Oh I wouldn't be so quick. Soapmaking creeps up on you and takes over before you even realize it. :)

[mreinstein48]

I really love the soap molds!! Where can I find them? The clam shell is really wonderful! Thank's again

[soapqueentv]

@mreinstein48 You can find the molds and everything else used in the video at Bramble Berry. There's a link in the description.

Happy Soaping!

[inertiarus]

A-M, I just looove you! I am finally going to make this, and reading the instructions in the booklet that came with the kit just wasn't doing ti for me, but combining that and this video is giving me confidence I need to tackle it. :) And many thanks to Paula for sharing the project (I love her tool kit!).

[soapqueentv]

@inertiarus So glad to hear you are having such a great time with this project. Thanks!

[snorie797]

i totally love all these vids! iv learned so many new ideas and tips your awesome Anne-Marie! =)

[soapqueentv]

Thanks for your enthusiasm about starting to make soap. it's a super fun endeavor. And, I'm betting that once you get hooked, you'll have a grin from ear to ear - just like me in the video.

I really do mean it when I say 'Happy Soaping' at the end of every video. And, reading your comments, I guess my exuberance definitely shines through.

If you're new to soapmaking, definitely check out Teach Soap as well for more tips and a helpful forum.

Happy Soaping,

Anne-Marie
