Tips to start your soap making business

Learn how to make soap.

Before you can succeed at selling soap, you must be able to make soap, refine the technique and formulate your own recipe.

There are two main methods for making soap, the hot process and the cold process.

• The cold process of making soap is the most common method. It involves mixing lye with fats or oils. Once mixed and formed into shape, it can take weeks for the soap to cure.

• The hot process of making soap requires you to cook the soap. This method requires maybe a week for the soap to harden, and can make it easier to add scents and colors. However, it is more difficult to work with and mold hot process soap. This method yields soap that is not as smooth as cold processed soap.

To start your own business consider taking a soap making class.
