Hello! I'm curious about something & am hoping you good people of the SMF can help ...
I currently make melt & pour soaps with a base bought from a popular M&P provider. I produce large quantities of soap and really enjoy the good quality of our M&P base we use...unfortunately, as with many companies, my M&P provider is feeling the ill effects of the rise in oil prices, which means they're raising their prices of base, which means my soaps each went up by a few cents... :shock:
I know, I know, a few cents shouldn't be that big of a deal, right? But every cent does add up when you're running your own business!
So, my question is, I have the ingredients of course of what my soap base is composed of. I am wondering if it would be worth my time and $$ (which, I have a lot of time, as all of my time is put towards my business) to start making my own m&p soap base - what is the procedure? Would that be considered hot process, cold process, or a different process all together?
I have more questions, but this is a start for now...don't want to get too confusing on my first post! Thanks for reading & I welcome any comments...
