    Free samples

    My soap business is really growing, and I'm in several stores now. At the Famers Market on Saturdays, we give out free samples. I think this is why I'm selling so much soap. We also give our stores a sample bar where customers can pick up and smell. We give each potential store a bag of four...

    Beautiful soap! I have never used rosemary & cedarwood together. I know what I will be making this weekend.

    Free samples

    What do you say when people ask for free samples? This happens at least five times a week with friends and people from my work. I don't mean this ugly, but spend five dollars on a bar of soap and try it! Please tell me what I need to say. This is taking from my profit. Also give me...

    Coconut Soap

    My customers want coconut soap. I purchased a coconut fragrance from CG. I put 16 oZ. in 10 pounds and couldn't smell at all. I also used coconut milk in my lye. Where can I buy a really good coconut scent?

    Milk soaps

    When adding almond, coconut, or goat's milk to soap, when do you add the milk? What is best adding to the lye or can you add to the oils and the milk not spoil? I need to know for CP soap only.

    Tussah Silk

    Is the raw silk better in soaps or liquid silk? Will the soap have a silly look?

    Suggested places to buy molds?

    Silicon Molds I had so much trouble getting soap out of molds when I first started. I ordered Brambleberry's 5 pound wooden mold that the bottom sides out. I also purchased the silicon liner. OMG solved all my soap problems. My soap comes out perfect every time. I also purchased extra...

    Tussah Silk

    Avocado Soap

    I've never made soap using fresh avocado or avocado oil. Could someone please send me a recipe or tell me how to add it to my recipe? Do I need to add more color to avocado soap? Also what fragrance or EO should I add?

    Lavender fragrance/essential oil

    I need feedback from everyone where they purchase their lavender essential oil or fragrance oil. I was using an essential oil from a lavender farm WG. I love the oil, but a little pricey for starting out selling soap. Do some of you make your essential oil? It looks like an easy process. I...

    Soap light white color on top

    My soap always has a light white color on top or looks faded. It is usually worse the more I swirl. I don't think it is a lye problem because the color of the rest of the soap looks amazing. I thought it was because I didn't cover my soap while in the mold. The last batch I covered and it...
