I see most soaps sold by online retailers have the same ingredients for their soaps then add a different superfat here and there (of course with various scents). That would appear more productive but I was just wondering what the general opinion is.
:-D maybe ADHD is my problem too...No way do I stick with the same recipe with all soaps. I would simply become so bored I would just quit. Been doing this for 5 yrs and I guess I will not change any time soon. I make and sell a lot of soap and I admit the labeling can get pesky but it is a trade off I will put up with to offset boredom. Besides I have come up with some pretty awesome soaps this way. Kinda of the point of handcrafted small production versus full manufacturingI have adhd, so I tend to get bored making the same thing without variation. Therefore I have recipes with lard, ones with palm, ones with no Palm, some with shea butter, some without. (I have a friend with a latex allergy so I like to have a few she can use safely.) Its definitely more time-consuming and not terribly efficient from a production point of view, but it keeps me interested and that has more value to me at this point.
I will probably whittle down my recipes as I decide on my favorites and top sellers.
