Boxing sample sets! When we cut loaves of soap into individual bars, there is two little pieces of soap left. We take those ends and buy them into sample boxes. #handmadesoapshop #samples #soap #soapasmr #barsoap #vegansoaps #SmallBusiness #vegansoap

Steaming off soda ash! Soda ash is a natural occurrence that happens on soap. 🧼 Soda ash forms on soap when sodium hydroxide (lye), which is used to make soap, reacts with carbon dioxide in the air. This reaction is more likely to occur in cool, damp environments, and less likely to occur in warm, dry environments.
✳️ Soda ash is a white, powdery coating that can appear on the surface of soap. It’s harmless and doesn’t affect the soap’s effectiveness, but it can make the soap look crumbly or obscure designs. Soda ash usually forms within 1–3 days.
✳️Here are some ways to prevent soda ash from forming:
Cover with plastic wrap: After pouring the soap into the mold, cover it with plastic wrap to prevent the surface from coming into contact with air.
✳️Spritz with rubbing alcohol: After pouring the soap, spritz the top with 91% rubbing alcohol.
✳️Keep in a warm, dry place: Cure the soap in a warm, dry place to reduce the likelihood of soda ash forming.
Some soap makers embrace the appearance of soda ash and consider it to be part of the process. Soda ash can also enhance the appearance of black and white soap, or create white waves on blue soap. 🌊 The soda ash is easily removed with a handheld garment steamer. It leaves the tops of the soap bright and shiny ✨ #soap #smallbusiness #soapmaker #vegansoap #soapasmr #asmrsounds
Emulsification happens that quickly. This is called light trace. I do go back in and hand mix for a few minutes to ensure no oil streaks are hanging out around the sides of the container. #soap #soapasmr #asmrsounds #lighttrace #soapmaker #soapmaking #vegan

WOW!!!!!!!’ 🌵 This soap was so much fun and my largest single loaf to make. It weighed over 8 pounds. Multiple succulents all different colors sit on top of multi colored “sand and dirt” I used soap shaving to make the darker “dirt” portion a little more lively! Plus it’s a great way to use soap shavings. Each bar is unique with multiple succulents. Your soap doesn’t have to be boring! #soapmaking #coldprocesssoap #vegansoapbars #soapbars #veganskincareproducts #allnatural #organicsoapmaking #diy #smallbusinessbigdreams #soapmaker #soapy #handmade #QualityMatters #veganrecipes #skincare #OrganicSkincare #womeninbusiness #nativebusinessowner #cherokeecounty #cherokeenation
