Teardrop Soap Making - Soap Challenge Club

This was my teardrop soap making entry for the Soap Challenge Club. This was a difficult technique for me given the patience required to slowly pour all those little lines. Thanks so much for watching! Pouring the lines for the teardrop takes over 2 minutes in the video (and I sped up and cut out a LOT). If you want to skip ahead, here’s a video timeline: 0:10 - Adding the lye, mixing, and then coloring the soap 1:54 - Pouring the base soap and lines of color 4:19 - Pouring the sides to form the teardrop shape 5:08 - Finishing the top 5:31 - Cutting the soap and final pics Temperature is in Fahrenheit. In case you’re interested, I have an affiliate store where I’ve listed all of the soap making supplies and materials that I purchase on Amazon: If you use those links to buy anything, it won’t cost you anything extra, but I will receive a very small percentage of the sale. Every little bit helps, though, so thank you very much if you do! :) ••• SAFETY INFO ••• Remember to always wear safety glasses and gloves when making soap.

These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. These videos are intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking has many variables and involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining, so many variables go into making soap and even the smallest change can greatly affect the results; therefore, I am not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods or techniques that I use in my videos.
