I made my first lotions, candles, soaps about 5 years ago just as a hobby for people I knew, was super excited about it, but life got in the way. Have renewed my interest in the past year, and have signed up for a local craft fair for early April. Unless I push myself off the cliff, I am going to forever hide under a safe rock!
I don't know any "soapers" in real life, but look forward to this forum for what looks like a wealth of knowledge. Some of the things I am concerned about - colorants, fragrance load (and panic about accelerated trace), what's popular in soaps that sell at fairs? I try to keep my formulas as natural as possible, but using mica's and fragrance oils definitely adds the wow factor. Being a quintessential Virgo, I never feel like my products are "good enough", so that adds a lot of pressure, lol.
