Soap Makers, Be Honest 😂

Which one have you done before?

A. Added an ingredient because “everyone is using it”
B. Changed a formula without calculating properly
C. Rushed the process because you wanted to finish quickly
D. All of the above
No judgment here. We’ve all been beginners once!

What’s one thing you wish someone had taught you when you first started making soap?

For me, I wish I had understood earlier that a good formula is more than just a list of ingredients.

What about you?
Share yours in the comments. Someone learning today might benefit from it.

One thing every serious soap maker should learn is how to formulate their own recipe, not just how to collect recipes from other people.

A recipe can show you what to use, but formulation knowledge teaches you why you are using it, and you will
understand

~ How to calculate your oils and lye
~ How to choose the right oil combination
~ How to adjust a recipe for different batch sizes
~ How to work with different additives
~ How to troubleshoot when your soap doesn't turn out as expected

Because what happens when the recipe you collected doesn't work with the ingredients available to you?

You shouldn't be stuck.

Knowledge gives you the ability to create, adjust and troubleshoot not just copy.

Don't build your soap making journey around collecting formulas.
Learn the skill behind the formula.

That's when you stop being a recipe follower and become a confident soap formulator.

Imagine you have ₦50,000 to invest in your soap business today.

Which one are you choosing?

A. Buy more raw materials
B. Improve your packaging
C. Buy equipment/tools
D. Run adverts
E. Keep the money until you have a solid plan

No wrong answer!

Tell me your choice in the comments and why you picked it.

Let’s be honest, sometimes we make soap with so many ingredients that the soap looks and feels amazing… but the profit disappears.

The goal isn’t to see how many additives you can put into one batch.

The goal is to know what each ingredient is doing and whether it is worth the cost.

Before adding anything to your formulation, ask yourself:

~What does this ingredient actually contribute?
~Is it necessary for this particular soap?
~ Have I included its cost in my production calculation?

Because ₦500 here and ₦1,000 there can quietly turn into a big amount when you’re producing in bulk.

A profitable soap business is not about using the most ingredients. It’s about using the right ingredients, in the right amounts, for the right purpose.

Soap makers, what ingredient did you once think was absolutely necessary until you learned you could do without it?

You may not have everything figured out yet, but look at how far you’ve already come.

That small business you started with little knowledge?
You’re learning.

Those mistakes that embarrassed you before?
They’re teaching you.

That product you once struggled to make?
You’re getting better at it.

Don’t despise your small beginnings.

Keep learning. Keep creating. Keep showing up.

One day, you’ll look back and be proud that you didn’t give up.

Happy Sunday, my people!

One mistake I see many soap makers make is adding too many additives to laundry soap because they believe more ingredients = better soap.

But as a business owner, you have to ask yourself these questions:

~ Does this additive really improve the soap?
~ Is it necessary for the formulation?
~ How much is it adding to my production cost?
~Can my customers actually notice the difference?

Remember, every ingredient has a cost. If you keep adding things without calculating properly, you may be making beautiful soap but making very little profit.

Soap makers, which additive do you think is most often overused in laundry soap?

I’ve been doing hot process soap making for a while, but this time I decided to switch things up and try cold process.
From measuring my oils and preparing the lye solution to blending everything to trace, every step was a beautiful reminder that soap making is both science and creativity.
Cold process definitely requires more patience, especially when it comes to curing, but I’m enjoying the process!
Come along with me as I make this batch from start to finish.

From cutting the loaf to getting those neat, uniform bars, every step requires patience, precision and practice.

It may not always look perfect while you’re working, but don’t be discouraged. Sometimes the rough edges, uneven cuts and little imperfections are simply part of the learning process.

The goal is to keep improving with every batch.

Soap making is not just about making soap; it’s about learning, creating and getting better every day.

Would you rather have a perfectly shaped soap or a soap that cleans beautifully?

One thing soap making has taught me is that solid fat and melted fat don't always weigh the same. So I've made it a habit to melt first, weigh second.
For accurate soap formulation, that small difference can throw off your recipe.

Have you noticed this too?
Do you weigh before melting, or after?
