The oils you use and the proportion in which you use them will determine the type of handmade bar you produce. If you want a harder, softer, fluffier bar, what do you do to get the desired bar? Here is a very cool list of all of the oils and their properties.

During that crazy commute to work every morning is when the idea of rolling out of bed at nine and going to your computer to start work in your pajamas becomes a fantasy that is hard to resist. The handmade made natural bath and body market is growing at double digit rates and is attrcting a lot interesy from tyhose who wish to leave the corporate jungle permanently. All of the usual caveats exist as explained by any competent startup handbook. Though the most important factor is very often overlooked. Do you have a passion for this market that will allow you overcome the inevitable disappointing times?

If the answer is yes, then dive in. If not think twice about entering such a labor intesive business with steep and established competition. If you are thinking about putting your toe in the water consider starting with some wholesale soap made by wholesale soap maker before you invest thousands of dollars in supplies and inventory.

This is a common question I get about my handmade soap. Many handmade soapmakers brag about how long their soap has been sitting on the shelf and curing. Typically they will say they have a nice hard bar of soap that lasts a good long time. Personally I prefer a bar of soap that is a little bit soft. One that has extra soothing oils that act as an emollient to my skin. I like the feel of a soft bar of soap that might not last as long as a hard bar, but gives my skin a real feeling of luxury. Make sure you use a good soap dish with this type of soap so the water runs away from the bar and does not soften it any further. Buying soft wholesale soap will save the difference you lose by buying a hard bar. The internet is the great equalizer for checking prices, especially for handcrafted items. Check around to get the best wholesale prices for handmade soap.

Remember to price your soap so as to allow for 100% mark-up for the retailer.. If you don't you have very little chance of the retailer carrying your product. $6.00 retail equals $3.00 wholesale. Requiring minimums is the way to get the volume needed to make up for smaller margins.
