I have been working on making this soap for over a year. I sowed the calendula seeds in April 2020 and cared for those plants through harvest. I also rendered the tallow down last summer. Today we make the tallow orange calendula soap! I couldn’t be happier with the results!

I recently started at the beginning of your YouTube journey and I’m sooooo hooked! I’ve been binge watching and just trying to catch up to the newest vids, next I’ll be going on Instagram to see those videos as well. Keep up the great work, I’ve learned soooooo much from your channel!!
Your soap turned out lovely! I actually have a small soap business in addition to my YT channel with quite a few videos on different soaps I make. With your eczema you might want to consider using frozen goats milk in place of water! It has helped many of my customers tremendously. And thank you as always for your motivation and inspiration!
Those are beautiful! So cool!
you should check out Ellen Ruth soap. She uses a lot of goat milk
Randomly found your channel through garden vlogs and enjoying the content. This is a good basic video but one comment I want to add is its best to never make soap in an item you will eat food out of later. Food/soap utensils should be kept separate just in case some lye is left over. Eating it on accident would be horrible! Lye is caustic and will burn away your skin/throat linings.
I would love to see you make more, I follow another person who makes soap and it's sold out as soon as she adds it to her website and she charges about $6 a bar lol
please make more. I only made one batch want get back in to it.
The inside of this soap looks AMAZING, and I was waiting for you to add some flowers to the molds before your poured the soap in or set a few in on top of the mold as well as the "internal" ones. Did not expect the inside to look so pretty.
I’ve never made soap, nor seen it made until now. I like goat milk soap and sometimes buy it from a local lady that makes it to sell. It is so good. Yours looks very pretty and I have no doubt it smells and works great too. Thank you for sharing!
Just found your channel and am binging… If you decide to try goat milk soap and ever get up to Seattle, give a shout and I will hook you up with some fresh goats milk from our girls:)
What a fun video. Your soap is beautiful.
It was fun watching you make a tallow soap, something I haven't done, but I have made practically ever other soap you can 🙂 I just wanted to suggest a way of getting more out of the calendula. I make a tea (quite strong with the petals) and let it go cold (store covered in the fridge) then either use that completely for the water portion to mix with the lye or make the tea from only half the water portion and add to the lye water after the lye water has cooled Then you could also grind some calendula petals into powder as well. Just some ideas. I make goat milk soap with colloidal oatmeal for my grand daughter and that is wonderful. Both the goatmilk and the oatmeal are soothing to inflamed skin. Even just putting some ground oats in muslin and adding it to a bath or hand soak is soothing 🙂 Hope this was helpful. I am loving your channel !!! 🙂 p.s. – your soap looked fantastic !! Blessings ~ Linda
Wow.. beautiful soap!!
Little frenchie needs a mask too!
Looks so beautiful!
I would love to make goat soap with you. Please make a video if you do that.
I forgot to tell you how much I enjoy watching your channel.
Do you use separate blender for food vs soap
Just a note my friend makes beautiful soap with flowers in it but I do notice if you don't rinse the shower well it stains the shower tray xx
Hey guys! I must be crazy but I don't see the link for the recipe????? Could someone help me out? TIA!!!
this is some time later but the scraps you cut can be rolled into balls for extra soap!
I've been making my own soap for years. Love it
Hey Becky ! ! I am not a pro soap maker by a long shot but I love making it. When I can hamburger, I save the fat and render it and make soap. When you go to Goodwill, or any thrift store, look for silicone molds, any shape works and the soap just pops right out. My husband found a couple silicone ones that were mini loaf pans and they make the perfect size bar of soap. LOVE your videos ! ((hugs))
Hi Becky, I made soap for my shop for over 12 years. But unfortunateley I've to tell you, that it's not allowed to continue using the utensils after making soap with them. This is related to the alkali. Greetings from Germany, Melanie
