You really should do your research
Hi there
If you really want to start your own soap making business I recommend that you do a bit of research beforehand.
Find out how you want to market yourself. (Try to have a general theme in your product line)
If you just make various products and package them all differently there is a chance you will confuse your customers.
When you have a streamlined productions I recommend you start off small and try to sell a bit to family and friends. after that try to hit the farmers markets etc. (when making your sand just remember that often less is more)
You also have to research your local laws etc. to make sure your product does not break any of them. One great tip is to visit another local soap maker and have a small conversation about the legal aspect of the business.
Lastly I recommend you check out these sites
