    Thank you! So the way soap is made via the cold process method (the method I use) is where you blend lye water and oils together into something that can be as thin as melted ice cream or as thick as like pudding (as long as it’s emulsified together it’s fine but runnier “soap batter” gives you more time to work with it!). For this one it’s a technique called the “One Pot Wonder” and I actually recorded the process!

    I also did turn on international shipping on my Etsy! It can be quite expensive and some people were complaining but Etsy sets the shipping prices and I am but a humble soap maker with no say in that 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Hah! Just watched the video. So it looks like you won’t have a real idea how it’s exactly going to turn out - looking at the method. It must be a nice surprise with each slice of a batch.

        Yes! That’s the fun of making bar soap, you don’t know how it’ll turn out and each loaf made is entirely unique and different!

        And another bonus is your home always smells nice!
