Hi Rune, don't stop soaping but don't start selling yet either. You just started making soaps last month and you are talking about selling a soap which has a long cure time, which means you haven't tried a fully cured bar yet - you might not even like it! It sounds like you want to try many experimental ingredients that haven't been used in soap before (from another thread). It is not fair to your customers to have them be your guinea pigs. It's also not fair on yourself to pour all your money into stock that won't be marketable. In the business section of the forum there are some stickies that will help you figure out when you are ready to sell.

On the other hand, you are thinking outside the box, which is great. Make lots of small batches for yourself and your friends and ask for honest feedback. You just might stumble on something amazing! Still, use some caution with your ingredients. If it is not from the kitchen and it has not been used in cosmetics before, try to find out why. Not all natural things are safe.

So, aim for the autumn and christmas markets in 2018. By then you might have something great. Good luck!
