Hot process soap maker here. Thanks for this great video. Another benefit of hot process is customizing superfats. Completely saponifing the cooked batch and then adding expensive skin nourishing, in my opinion, oils.

Hot process soap maker here. Even though you can use and sell the hot process soaps right away, I always let it cure at least 2 weeks before selling or using. The 2 week cure will make a harder bar that will last longer.❤

I need to try hot process, I’ve only ever done cold, but the fact that you can use hot process right away is very attractive.

I love hot process soap making. It's such a satisfying process and I like to pipe the top of the loaves so it's not as rustic (but I like the rustic look, too). I love Anne-Marie's lemongrass lavender hot process soap. It's a classic.

When I first started making soap I had to find just the right book with this info. I would have killed to have such a concise video. Thanks for always sharing info and great ideas.

Hot process soap is my cup of tea! Love it and do it regularly. Since I learned to prepare it, I've never bought a bar of commercial soap. I've also done CP soap but prefer the HP.

Just learned something. Thanks Anne. I've gotten into soap just because of your channel. Happy Soaping Everyone.

I love both verson. I love rebatching my soap scraps into a mash up hot processed bar. My son is doing this for his school science fair project. This will be a cool video for him to watch and referance when he has to present to the class

Hi, Ann-Marie, I make HP soap and after it is completely done I let it cool a little and add the fragrance and incorporate about 1/4 cup of plain yogurt into the 3# batch of batter. Adding the yogurt makes the batter fluid, enough to make a nice swirl possible. I then separate it into a couple of containers, color with complementary colors and pour it into the mold using the swirl method. This has worked beautifully for me. So I will say that I prefer HP over CP because your not taking a chance on wasting the fragrance oil or essential oils with this method because the lye no longer exists, the colors will be true and won't morph plus you can use this soap sooner than CP. I do make cold process also and I have used your recipe for beginners and LOVE it. I did change the formula slightly so I could add some Shea butter. All your videos have been very helpful and I want to thank you very much for posting them.

Thanks for showing the ease of hot process. I’ll try it someday, but for now I’m very happy with cold process.

I make both and love both processes for different reasons. One more great thing about hot process is you can use less fragrance & get the same strength & you can use those flighty essential oils that usually disappear. Also, it's useful for using those fragrances that do weird things like ricing & acceleration without a problem. I do love cold process though for the artistic side in me & love the smoothness & scoopability of it.

I think the skill is making hot process look like cold process with all the super fatting benefits. Plus all the additives added to loosen the soap is excellent for the skin as well. Cold process is easy compared to pretty hot process soaps. I’d love to see a video on cold process oven process soap. Your excellent Annemarie and I love your products.

Cold process soap maker here and love it... I hot process if I need to rebatch any soap but am more comfortable doing cold process soaps ❤ Thank you Anne.. this was a wonderful video 😊

I like to do both methods, although i prefer cold process for its variety of designs. A few other hot process benefits are no soda ash and no glycerin rivers.

I never tried hot process. Your method looks easy. I should try. Thanks Bramble berry.

So interesting. Love learning about soaps. I'm still new and soaking in all the sudsful knowledge. Appreciate your help!!😊

Cold process produces a smoother look with I love

I am looking for a gently used crock pot and hope to do some rebatch soap. Nice video and explanation.

On another note, love your hair cut! ❤
