Tiny steps interrupted with tripping and stumbling, meeting a few dead ends and a few that come back to life. It is not as easy as I thought it would be, but it is happening. It has to happen! Soaping is an addiction. Of course, from a business point, it helps to have a plan.
It all starts out with having a good supplier, one you can count on for consistency and quality and timely delivery. The lye must be bought locally, and it is good to have a local supplier for essential oils and immediate necessities. Walking distance is good! The bulk of my oils comes from Soapers Choice. Their oils are excellent, choices are great, shipping is timely and the customer services enviable.
With that note, I will tell you who I use to feed the need.
Soapers Choice for oils and butters
Texas Natural Supplies for essential oils and necessities
Michael's for packaging
Elements Bath and Body for packaging.
To Die for Ingredients for Lye.
NEXT...making the soap.
You would be surprised at what it takes to package a bar of soap!!

Wow, I am impressed. I never once thought about what is involved in making a bar of soap. I am just grateful to be able to buy it in the grocery. When I first saw your title, I thought you were referring to watching soaps on tv which is also addicting. LOL
Seriously, I do admire what you are doing. Congratulations, and I wish you and your business the very best!
Hi Nicki! Good to see you.
Yes, Soaps are addictive but I try to not get caught up in that little trap.
Soaping is very addictive, just ask any soaper. It is also a lot less fattening than being addicted to baking even though there are times when I wish I could eat my soaps because they smell so good.
Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate your visits.
Stay tuned. Tomorrow I am going to post a couple of my soap formulas. Then, I plan to discuss packaging and marketing ala sheila.
