@purelycaiya: I’ve tried to stay peaceful and ignore this creator’s false claims against me for months, but I can’t stay silent any longer. Editing clips of my content to fit a false narrative is deceitful and manipulative— and it’s gone too far. It’s time to share the proof that sets the record straight. There’s so much more I could say—including how this creator has ironically copied other makers—but this video is already long enough and my goal isn’t to attack anyone, only to defend my livelihood. My soapmaking journey was first inspired by Aspen Essence, not this creator. Since I’ve been inspired by many amazing soap makers I’ve met since then. Inspiration is normal—every creator is influenced by others—but I always add my own unique touch and give credit when due. My ideas come from my own creativity, my garden, and my passion for natural skincare—not from anyone else. For months, this individual and several of their friends, family, and associates have smeared my name online—harassing me with false comments and negative reviews across multiple accounts. I have proof of these interactions and their known ties to this creator, but I’m not posting it publicly out of respect for their privacy. To be clear, I have NOT contacted or spoken about them—this has been entirely one-sided. I forgot to mention in the video: they also accused me of copying their website design. My site uses Shopify’s free default Dawn template—a preexisting theme that has nothing to do with them. As of today, they’ve been formally sent a cease and desist, and I’ll continue documenting everything as needed. Still, I truly hope this ends here so we can all move forward in peace. All I want is to be left alone. To everyone who’s shown me kindness, believed in me, and taken the time to hear the truth—thank you. 🌻 Cai (note this was filmed yesterday)

the fact that you are open and clear about your inspiration makes you pretty dang authentic and honest. I am so sorry. that is nasty. there is someone who is 100% copying Aspen as she does the exact same things...it could be cut and paste to a degree...THAT, if not okay imo. I am following you and you maybe inspired but guess what? I do cold process and some melt and pour. loads of people do and that doesn't make people copycats. you're my new fave!!!!❤

I just found you and I really liked your videos!! At first I thought you were copying Aspen Essence but you are definitely NOT! You have made those soaps yours and the way your videos are edited are also yours so that’s why I stayed. I hope things get better

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Often times people because intimidated by others even when they’re already successful. Don’t back down & continue to fight for what you have built. ❤❤

This is sad. I’ve also been inspired by aspen essence and your account and have begun my own journey, based on that inspiration. At the end of the day, there’s room for all of us and inspiring other makers should make you feel proud, not threatened. Keep doing you,

As a fellow soap maker I’m so sorry. Like you said, there are only so many soaps, candles, skin care products, etc and it is very similar! Everyone makes pumpkin spice, honey, flowers etc!! I’m so sorry, I hope this gets resolved quickly and you can carry on with your life!! 💛💛

how ridiculous! she has no case otherwise id be able to "sue" every one that makes a coffee candle. This is a highly saturated market so there's going to be soaps that are similar. She's just trying to bully and scare you but she has no legal ground

You actually might have a lawsuit for defamation and slander to counter with. This is so middle school petty. I have a face oil, candles, soap, and wax warmers. We all start somewhere. We all have to buy similar oils and scent products. That’s crazy! I mean there are soap books we could all use the same recipes 😜

while I know exactly who you're talking about I respect how you are handling this. Keep all your receipts, but honestly if she was serious about suing you she would have had a lawyer send you the letter. She's jealous and I can guarantee you she's doing it to others. Keep your chin up and again I applaud you for your integrity.

Thank you for posting something about it, I find it wild that she blocked you and continued to stalk you.

I need to know who it is. I buy from a bunch of creators, I've been trying to hit everyone, but I'm stocked up so much I have to wait to try new ones lol I won't buy from someone that causes drama and doesn't support other creators.

as soon as I saw the video and your name attached I knew there was no way. I think it’s insane to claim someone is copying you in a field where most content is gonna resemble. keep doing you, the real ones know your intention and heart and support you!!!

How different can the structure or shooting angle of a soap or candle really be? After all, the final product is obvious — nothing new is being created. In that case, bees should also sue honey producers, because they’re basically stealing and packaging the bees’ products. 😂🐝

when I saw the other video yesterday I did think wow they are a little similar. however i know how trends are so I know that it just happens that lots of creators are posting similar things around the same time. I make CP soap and its Christmas and the main suppliers are all pushing the same Christmas scents theres only so many ways we can all make a peppermint soap ya know some of us are going to look similar doesnt mean anyone copied anyone. theres a tallow creator I follow and she says theres enough customers out there for all of us.. and I 100% agree with that. also these types of products have been around so long that in reality nothing is truly original anymore. I hope this doesnt affect you and your business for too long. good job on the receipts though that is key.
