On occasion, we write informative articles about the handmade bath & body industry. Most people are specifically interested in soap making, the why's and wherefore's etc as it is such a fascinating change from fluids oils and melted butters and lye water into a solid bar of beautifully fragranced soap.
Here we'll be posting articles about the industry, possibly tutorials from time to time, even videos we've made! We hope to build up a useful resource of information, tips and hints and tutorials for all soap designer/makers and everyone interested in handmade bath & body products.
