- Hello everyone, my name is Katie Carson. Welcome back to The 12
Days of Soapmas 2019. Royalty Soaps has grown so much in 2019. We've had so many people
join the royal court and there has just been an outpouring of love towards my family and I. We totally feel it and
we're so grateful to you, for all the support this year and in the spirit of love and
giving this holiday season, I would like to share some of that support with some of my fellow artisans. I have handpicked these nine soap crafters to showcase here on the
Royalty Soap's channel. For those of y'all who have been around from the olden days of Royalty Soaps, I had a mini series called royal reviews were once a month a soapmaker
would send in some products. I would review them, I would
share them with my audience and send people their way. So, this is sort of a throwback
to that original idea, but instead of doing one per month, we're combining it all into
one big conglomerate video. All of the companies
listed in today's video will be down in the description box below with all of their Instagram, website, Facebook, social media handles. All of the products featured
today I did purchase with my own money,
there's no sponsorships. None of these creators even
know I'm making this video and none of them asked to be featured. I was simply inspired by them throughout the year both from their
Instagram feed and their shops and I wanted to highlight
and showcase them so that if you guys see anything you like, you can purchase them in
time for Christmas gifts. So without further ado, let's take a look at
these marvelous creations. We're gonna start with
Missouri River Soaps. Holly is one of the most
charming, relaxing soapmakers to watch on YouTube and I've
bought from her multiple times. I would describe her bars as
creamy, gentle, and smooth. She uses a lot of luxury additives and I love the way she combines colors. Also, her soy wax melts are super strong and her bath bombs are rock hard and look so pretty in the bath. Holly is one of the
original soap YouTubers and I've loved watching her journey as she continues to expand her product lines, packaging, and website. Next up is Muddy Mint and,
oh my gosh, her packaging. Her packaging is on my top
five favorites of all time. It's so cohesive, it's
so rustic yet detailed and I can not say enough
good things about it. Also, her photography is
dreamy, so there's that. Simi has a variety of
products from lip balms to beard oils and they all have a strong focus on natural ingredients. So that would include using only essential oils for fragrance. She threw in some extra samples for me and I'm just so delighted by the tiny bows and paper, so cute! A lot of you folks probably already know about Malina from Ojai Botanika because BrambleBerry
interviewed her this year and shared a few of her
photos on their Instagram. That's how I found her and
seeing her gorgeous products in my feed month after month
really did make me want to hold a bar in my hand. I also feel a special bond
with her because, well, she was homeschooled
and I was homeschooled and we homeschoolers have
to look out for one another. Many of Malina's soaps
have very distinct layers and sharp cocoa powder
lines and I love her use of botanicals and natural colorants for a very consistent visual lineup. Belinda from Love Your Suds
is such a wonderful asset to the soap-making community. She consistently pushes the boundaries of soap design techniques, provides soap scraper tools
on her website for you, the soapmaker, to use with
your own soaps and she posts such beautiful photos that
always leave my jaw on the floor. She included those two landscape
soap samples in my order. Magical, they're downright magical. She also lets you request no
packaging on certain products, so that's what I did for
this silver lining soap bar and it arrived in perfect condition with a little label so you still get to know all the ingredients. Okay, folks, now here is a
brand I could simply rave about. Tania from Soapish is absolute goals because, first of all,
she has her own storefront in Santa Clarita, California. So, if you're ever in that area, be sure to pop in, get
yourself some homegoods and tell her I sent you. Now, I would describe Soapish branding as being minimal but not plain with the major focus being
on the products themselves. She carries lots of
different skincare goodies including this made from scratch lotion that is positively delectable. Out of all the various
soap companies I've tried, I think Soapish feels the most lux to me, like something you would
splurge on at Anthropology and have zero regrets
about treating yourself to because the ingredients
are so good for you. Oh, heavens, where do I
even start with this woman? Shayna is one of the most
impressive soapmakers I have ever seen and with nine years of soapmaking under my
belt, I've seen a good many. Her ingenuity with design
execution is unprecedented. She's absolutely selling art. Every single bar is a masterpiece and as much as soapmakers
hate to hear this, I'm gonna have a hard time using these because they're so flipping impressive. You know exactly what
she's trying to convey every single time and her bars feel great on your skin to boot. Bearfoot Gypsy soaps are more
than just a pretty face, okay? Now, I've just recently
come across Lilasuds in the past few months via my
Instagram recommended section and what a fantastic find that was. Also, this is the only
package I didn't purchase because it was sent to me as a gift and I am super grateful for that. Desiree is a newlywed,
so be sure to pop over to her most recent photo and
tell her congratulations. I love her use of soap dough
for the autumn leaves bar and all of her fragrances
perfectly compliment the designs. These are gentle sudsy soaps that absolutely everyone can enjoy and I'm really excited to see what's in store for Lilasuds next year. Okay, but if you haven't
heard of Ophelia Soapery, are you living under a rock? Julie is basically world
renown for her super satisfying in the pot swirl pouring here on YouTube. You should absolutely subscribe
and bless your eyeballs with those videos. I purchased the set of
celestial soaps made with BrambleBerry's four
celestial fragrances and, oh, I was not disappointed. I love to see a strong black soap and her moon child design
is probably my favorite one I've seen from anyone
who received that PR box. Also, her bars are huge
and her piping work is always exceptional. I absolutely love the
astrological backgrounds on her soap packaging too. It makes me feel like
a fancy medieval lady and last but certainly not least, we have Mama Bass handmade soap. Now, while Lane does a variety of very different, detailed artisan soaps. I want to draw attention to her wax because, listen people,
if you do wax warmers, you need this in your life because it will smell up your whole house. I love her quirky branding,
liberal use of dark colors and unique products like squeeze wax. Have you ever even heard of that? I hadn't 'til I saw hers
and now I'm gonna have to get me some of that too. So, there you have it, nine
amazing bath and body creators who deserve your support
this holiday season and in the year of 2020. Be sure to check them
all out on social media and I will see you guys
tomorrow for the next day of The 12 Days of Soapmas
2019, bye for now! (optimistic music)
