If you haven't switched over to receiving my blog updates at blogger then you are missing new posts. You can read the lastest article on Essential Oils and Soap.
Also please sign up for the Milksuds yahoo group. This is a community of Milksuds soap makers and a place to ask questions and share ideas.
Yeah....spring is almost here and soon I'll have baby goats!
and subscribe by email, so you will stay up to date with any new postings (that is if you want to read my blog posts). Otherwise please at least bookmark the new blog and visit it occassionally or if you have questions.
I moved to blogger for several reasons. The biggest reason is that blogger is easier for me to use. I don't have to deal with lots of html coding like I do with this site. That means I can put more information on the site because I know how to do it! That is good.
Also I have set up a milksuds yahoo group that you can participate in if you choose. It is only available to individuals who have purchased the video or the soon to be released e-book. This is to keep the numbers manageable. I thought it would be cool for many of you who are starting and running new soap businesses to be able to communicate together and get each other's input in addition to my own.
I don't really consider myself a procrastinator....only a person who sometimes takes on too many things. I am my happiest when I am busy so taking on many things is a joy to me. The only problem is that sometimes completion can take a long time. And thus is the story on the well intentioned soap making ebook.
I spent a lot of time in December working on this project because I felt I really needed to get it completed before I embarked on another project. I have recenlty been asked to write a few chapters for another book as well, so I really can't dilly around any longer. But.....I have to say another part of my lollygagging was the fact that I didn't really think this book was needed. Boy am I wrong. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday with one of my soap dvd purchasers trying to help her navigate through the world of colorants.
So now I am more convinced than ever that soap makers are a creative lot, but they are also smart and would appreciate a short cut to getting a successful business up and running. This one particular soap maker called me when she encountered another failed batch of soap (out of many in a row). The recipe was awesome, but the color was hideous. So she felt as though she couldn't sell it and make money....thus more wasted money on trial and error. So far she has invested about $1000 and would like to start recouping that investment and make real money.
So with new determination, I am working on finishing up the ebook that gives you an outline on how to shortcut setting up a profitable business. This book is a guide and you can certainly use your own creativity, but when you know for sure you would like to have a profitable business, following my suggestions will at least get you going with sellable products. Then use your creativity for extra soaps or seasonal soaps. So watch for a nearing completion date and special introductory pricing.
A number of people have asked me about using organic oils to make organic goatmilk soap. When I first began making soap about 10 years ago, using organic oils was just too expensive. However, today there are more organics being produced and the cost isn't as high as it once was.
If you are interested in making organic goatmilk soap, then check out Columbus Foods for your bulk soap oils. They now carry a large variety of organic oils that are not priced too much more than conventional oils. I do wonder if it really makes a big difference in the end product of your bar of soap as the lye destroys so much in the process of making soap, but the flip side is supporting farmers who choose not to use poison on their crops and land. This is very very good. So if you are wondering about making organic goatmilk soap, look at Columbus Foods for your oils and support a cleaner. healthier planet!

Well, I am excited. My alpine goat, Mary, is off to my friend's house where she is being bred for the first time. I can hardly wait for the arrival of a new baby goat (or two--hopefully does) and the great goat milk that accompanies having babies. I had the awesome opportunity to hand milk another friend's milking goat, Amelie, several times this past year and I enjoyed the interaction with her goat very much. I know I will enjoy milking my own Mary even more. It does seem weird not having Mary here and I know little Maggie misses her friend, but at least she has the sheep for the time being. Maggie is about 7 months and is a cross bred 1/2 Dwarf Nigerian goat.
I still have some goat milk (from Amelie and also from Mary's mom Wendy) in the freezer for soap making over the winter when my schedule is much less hectic, but I can't wait to make the soap from my own Mary!
I know....I know.....I told you all that I was going to use my rendered lard in some soap. But I don't think it is going to get that far. The other day I had my little kids clean out a few pumpkins. We roasted the seeds and also cooked the pumpkin for a real honest to goodness from scratch pumpkin pie. Guess what went into the pie crust? Yep......lard. And it was the best tasting pie crust I have ever made (and I take great pride in my pie crusts!) So I think my soap making creations are going to take a back seat to pie crust and I'll have to wait and render the fat from the two Scottish Highland Beef that are going to market mid November. Tallow makes a harder bar of soap than lard anyway!
Today I am rendering lard from a pig we had butchered this summer. I plan to create a new soap recipe to use this lard. Lard lye soap making isn't any different than using vegetable oils in your soap. One of my first successful batches of soap used lard. I chose not to use lard in my soap (that I was selling) at that time, not because I didn't like the soap, but because there seemed to be such an emphasis (demand) for vegetable oil only soaps. So I ditched the lard and chose vegetable oils.
Today, I think sustainable agriculture is important and I am going more with my beliefs than following the current trend (although the current trend in this area is that more and more people are desiring to buy more and more products locally from small producers). This entire past has been a year of growth and learning. I brought home 14 chickens last October. I already knew we were going to pursue getting sheep and goats, but we spent the winter learning all we could. By spring, we purchased a small flock of sheep, 2 goats, and 3 turkeys. Then we hatched out two batches of chickens from our own chickens' eggs and raised more layers and meat birds we purchased from a hatchery. In August we got three baby feeder pigs. We acquired three horses that are being boarded at a neighbor's place. We added a puppy in February and so.......... our little farm is growing. So you might be wondering how all of this ties in with sustainable agriculture. Well.....doing as much as you can for yourself and making the most of everything you have is an important aspect. This winter, I will be rendering more lard from the three pigs we have raised and making more soap. Doesn't it make sense to use everything we have rather than going out and buying a lot of other supplies?
So....if you raise your own pigs....use that extra fat for soap. If you don't raise pigs.....why not work with a farmer in your area who does raise pigs. Most of the time people who have pigs butchered do not want the extra fat......maybe you could get and use it? Why not try asking a few meat processors what they do with the fat that no one requests? You might be pleasantly suprised. You may be able to get it for nothing or barter a trade for some fat. This is better than allowing the fat to go to waste.
I found my first batch of lard lye soap to be a very hard, long-lasting, mild bar of soap. I can't wait to see how this recipe will turn out. I'll post the recipe once I have iti figured out.

My good friend, Jodi, is making soap from her own goat milk. I gave her one of my videos last year. I'm not sure if she watched it or not. She doesn't use my recipe for goat milk soap and was concerned that her bars of soap are not very hard. She said she uses olive oil, vegetable (soy) oil, and coconut oil in her recipe. I have also had various other individuals ask me about using other oils, like sweet almond oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, and more.
It is always a good idea to start with one good recipe and then to modify off that recipe than to just make a totally new recipe. Why? Because with soap, so many things can go wrong and it is difficult to determine exactly what the problem with a soap was, if everything was different. It is a good idea to educate yourself on the properties of the different oils and know what they do for your soap. If you want a hard bar of soap, it is not a great idea to use much castor or sweet almond oil as they make the bar soft. But castor oil can contribute to lather, so use sparingly.
I'm happy my little effort in putting together this video has helped a lot of people get started making soap. Please feel free to leave a comment on your soap making progress!
I have found resource that may make your soap making endeavor just a little less costly. Please check out this link www.suppliersbystate.com and you may be able to find a local resource for your soap making supplies that could save you shipping costs (esp. if you are ordering oils by the pail).
While this is nice, what I am really thrilled with is a link from Illinois that I found for clear labels that you can buy by the sheet. I have never found labels that are crystal clear and I have been looking for them for years. I love making lip balm in Sweetcakes clear lip pots. I have always wanted to put a pretty clear label on top of the lid but could never find one that is crystal clear. Also, I have made customized labels for several organizations that sold my soap and I had always had to use the frosted clear labels, but now....tah dah.....I have found CLEAR! I prefer clear so the customer can see how pretty the soap is through the label. Here is the link fo this label company www.labelsbythesheet.com
Hopefully you will find this sight as helpful as I have!
It's been quite a while since my last post. You may be wondering why that is so. Well, in the past several months we have added quite the menagerie to our growing homestead. Two of our new additions are goats! Mary is an Alpine yearling and we will breed her this fall. I can hardly wait to actually have my very own goat milk. Our other goat is a Nigerian Dwarf named Maggie. She was just weaned in May and will most likely be too young to breed this fall.
I really had never spent time with goats before so I was in for a surprise--they are very personable and friendly and my children and I love them very much. I am really looking forward to the next chapter in my soap making--have plentiful goat milk (more than I can possibly use!) for all my soap making endeavors. I can hardly wait.
1/3 bar grated Fels Naptha Detergent Bar (or one whole bar of Ivory Bar Soap or your own homemade soap)
3/4 Cup Borax
3/4 Cup Washing Soda (Arm & Hammer makes this)
1 Quart hot tap water
6 quarts water
Directions:
Dissolve the grated soap in the six cups of water on your stove over medium heat.
Once the soap is fully dissolved, then add the borax and washing soda. Stir until dissolved (a couple of minutes).
You will need a container for your laundry soap that is large enough to hold 3 gallons. In this container, put 6 cups of hot tap water. Pour your hot soap solution into this container and stir. Add the additional 6 quarts of water. This laundry detergent will gel up. It may also separate a bit before it is all used. This is all okay. I like to break up the gel solution and pour it into old laundry containers I have saved. I generally shake the bottle before using to allow it to pour well.
Use 1/2 cup for one load. I like to use one full cup of detergent and add an extra Tablespoon of borax when I wash my towels (especially if they have been damp and waiting in the laundry basket a few days).
You may also add some essential oil to your laundry detergent when you are incorporating all the water.
You can save a lot of money by learning how to make your own organic bar soap. Organic bar soap naturally costs more than conventional soap because more care is taken with the organic ingredients. Hence, organic ingredients generally cost more. The only difference between making your own handmade soap and organic bar soap is finding your organic ingredients.
What benefits are there to making organic soap?
First, it is better for your health. You know that there were no nasty chemicals applied to any of the ingredients, so they do not end up in your soap.
Second, you are supporting the efforts of those individuals who grow and harvest organic materials.
Third, it is better for the environment.
One of my favorite places to shop for soap base oils is Soapers Choice. They carry all the organic oils you would need to make a good quality organic soap.

I am trying several different soaps in the recipe to see which detergent I like the best and which one is the most economical to make. I had never thought to make my own detergent before, but with five kids living in the country, I have so much laundry to do that I thought perhaps I could economize on detergent costs if I made my own.
My laundry detergent project has tested using Fels Naptha detergent, ivory soap, and homemade soap. So far I cannot detect a noticeable difference using any of the bar soaps, so my recommendation is to use which ever is the cheapest. I do like my clothes to have a nice (but not overpowering) smell, so if I went with the ivory soap, I would probably add a bit of lavendar essential oil to the deteregent (just note that if you add a fragrance, you also add cost). But a detergent without fragrance is very desirable to many.
You would have a fragrance free laundry detergent with the ivory bar or with your own homemade soap. I would be sure to modify my homemade soap intended for the laundry just a tad. I would strive for a bar that does not have any margin in it (usually I have 5% superfatting for a mild, gentle soap). I think it helps not to have the extra oil in the soap. Again, I have not done a scientific experiment to prove this, but I personally would try to have a bar without margin.

I am still working on this project and am sharing the laundry detergents with others to get feedback, so I will post the results as they come in.
Mar. 14, 2008 - Which Laundry Detergent Works Best On Stains
It has been about a year since I first began experiementing with making my own laundry detergent. I have found a couple recipes and have tried various bar soaps in the recipe. I am very happy with the home made detergent, but have found that I really need to pre-treat stains (just as I did when I used commercially made detergent).
So when asked which laundry detergent works best on stains, I would answer that none of them really do. But I have found a GREAT stain treater and that would be a bar of Fels Naptha detergent. It takes very little of this to treat stains. I apply it directly to the stain and scrub the stain with a brush or with my hands in the fabric. If you can let it sit a bit that usually helps as well. This one bar will last you many many months!!
I have been able to remove grass stains from my sons' grass stained pants (even the stains that I previously couldn't remove) with the Fels Naptha.
So my recommendation would be to use an economical detergent and use the Fels Naptha to treat the stains. I will post my recipe and variations of the recipe in another post. If you are interested in making your own laundry soap and want to make it even more economical, then learn how to make a basic bar soap that you can use in the laundry soap (it's also great for your family's skin). You can get information about soap making at How to Make Soap.
Have you made your first batch of soap? Did all of your friends and family oooh and aaah over it? If your friends and family were like mine, they had never tried any homemade soap before. And they instantly fell in love with it. So now you are thinking about how to sell homemade soap. Well, it couldn't be any easier than just what you have already done. Give some free samples away and let people try it. The good news about soap is that it is consumable. So when they run out, they will be back for more.
You can begin to sell soap by starting a customer list of people who already like your product. Next, brainstorm who else you can give a sample to. When you give out a sample ask them if you can follow up with them so see what they think of the soap. You can prepare a few general questions about the soap and how their skin felt. Be sure to ask them if they would purchase your soap as you are building a customer base. Get their permission to add them to your customer base and email list. I like email because it is cheap and efficient. You can offer them a special introductory price as a new customer.
You can also sell your soap at craft shows. Again, try to build your customer base. When you are able to build a relationship with your customers, they will become repeat customers. That will make you very happy. Then you will have people calling you for more soap and you will build your sales each month.
You can ask your customers for referrals as well. You can give a free sample to the referred person and again, ask if you can follow up with them to get their opinion about your soap. You will be surprised how, with effort, you can build a good customer base in a short period of time.
If you are thinking about how to sell homemade soap, but haven't made your first batch yet, please check out my website at How to Make Soap
Shea butter is a great ingredient to add to your handcrafted soap. But I am occassionally asked what kind of shea butter should I use in my soap -- shea butter refined vs. unrefined. Shea butter comes from the tropics of Africa and is extracted from the nuts of the Shea-Karite tree.
Pure Shea Butter can be found in three types of extractions.
Raw or unrefined- extracted using water. The color ranges from like cream (similar to whipped butter) to grayish yellow. This is the original form of Shea Butter.
Refined is more processed and has many of its natural components still intact.
Highly refined - the color is pure white.
You can use any of these types of shea butter in your soap making. My personal philoposhy is that that the less processed something is, the more it retains its beneficial qualities.
I haven't used the raw shea butter primarily because it wasn't offered from the sources I purchase my ingredients from. More and more companies are offering this product though and I think it would be great to use in soap making.
As a result, I have used refined shea butter. I find that my products have more of a white color to them (or if I am coloring them, the color is more true) and I have been very happy with the results. I have used this refined shea butter in lip balms and whipped body butters as well. I think it is just iimportant to avoid using the highly refined shea butter where nasty chemicals are used to get it pure white. The chemicals can change the quality of the butter and destroy many of the beneficial properties that make shea butter so unique.
So if you are wondering which shea butter: refined vs. unrefined, I would tend to go with the least refined you can get for soap making.
Mar. 6, 2008 - Best Soap Without Antibacterial Added
For a long time now, doctors have been warning against the overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial products. One reason for this is that the germs are becoming immune and resistant and are producing super-germs that are harder to fight. What is the best soap without antibacterial added and why would you want to use it?
By far, the best soap without antibacteral added is any kind of homemade soap. I especially love goat milk soap (you can check out my website at How to Make Soap for more soap making information), but any kind of handcrafted soap is going to leave your skin feeling nourished and soft - not dry and itchy. The purpose of soap is to break the surface tension of water, thus allowing the water to rinse away the dirt and germs on your skin. WIthout this break in surface tension, the water would just rinse over your skin.
Many people believe that using antibacterials in soap will help them stay healthier, but this is not true. Plain old soap and water is very effective at removing dirt and germs. I have found a very informative link that you can read HERE about the dangers of antibacterial soap. I hope you take the time to read it and encourage others to stop using them.
There are many benefits of using herbs in your soaps. How do you use herbs in your soap you may ask? Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel and list all the information about herbs right here, I am going to redirect you to a beautiful website I have found that does a good juob listing herbs, and benefits. You can click HERE to read more about using herbs in your soap and the benefits of the herbs.
Personally, I have taken the time to infuse olive oil with different herbs. This is time consuming and can add expense to your soap if you are not growing your herbs yourself (which I recommend that you do, because then they are inexpensive and you know the quality of the product).
Infused oils add more benefit to the soap you are selling and I can guarantee that not many people are doing this -- primarily because of expense and time. However, the small production, home based soap maker generally can add this quality to their product, which is why a small time soap maker can create a loyal customer base.
Please take the time to read about the benefits of using herbs. I would even recommend purchasing a bar or two of these soaps to see what they are like. Enjoy!
In another post, I talked about how to encourage others to purchase more for you, thus resulting in higher sales/person. Another idea is to create custom one-of-a-kind spa gift baskets. What can you put into your spa gift baskets?
soap
bath salts
body butter
lip balm
massage oils
loofah sponges
netted poof scrubs
washcloths
small hand towels
coffee
flowers (I'd use artificial)
tea
biscuits
any type of organic edibles
and so on...........
I'm sure you can think of many good ideas. You can theme the baskets and add the specialty products for that theme.
One resource that I will recommend for spa gift basket supplies is Quinessence. They offer products that can help you expand your product line to create beautiful one-of-a-kind gift baskets. I do a lot of soap with Fragrance Oils because so many of my customers love them. But they also love good quality Essential Oils (especially lavender). Aromatherapy is very beneficial and many customers want those benefits. So you can list your features and ingredients in your products, but be especially sure to list the benefits -- THE BENEFITS SELL THE PRODUCTS!!!!!!!
If you know of a good business to add to my blog directory that is in the spa gift basket supplies area, please leave me a comment and I'd be happy to get their link on my website!
Remember, you can use aromatherapy benefits to sell your soap! And if you need any help learning to make soap check out my website at How to Make Soap.
If you are looking for an even easier recipe for how to make lip balm than my previous recipe look no further. This is a great lip balm recipe that I sold by the masses.
How to Make Lip Balm:
2 parts sweet almond oil
1 part beeswax
Melt the beeswax in a 2 cup pyrex measuring bowl in the microwave. Then incorporate the sweet almond oil. You can add sweetener and flavoring (see previous post for more information regarding those and more complete instructions). Pour into containers and let set up. It really couldn't be any easier.
My friend that I talk about on my website How to Make Soap who let me watch her make soap tried this recipe and wanted to know the secret of my recipe. Her recipes were more sticky and not as moisturizing. I told her the ingredients and she couldn't believe how simple it was. Try this recipe and you will see for yourself!
Would you like to make shea lip balm? I have a very easy recipe that is nourishing and moistuirizing. You can make shea lip balm in any size amount because I am going to give you the proportions for making any size batch you want. Here is the recipe:
Shea Lip Balm
1 part sweet almond oil
1 part shea butter
1 part natural beeswax
Instructions:
Melt the beeswax and shea butter in microwave in glass microwave safe bowl (use a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup). Once they are melted you can add the sweet almond oil. I like to purchase lip balm sweetener and flavor oil from Sweet Cakes for my lip balms. They also have containers for your balm. You can use the small white tubes because many people like them. However, Sweetcakes also sells clear lip pots. I LOVE the way the lip balm looks in the lip pots!
You can add a cosmetic grade pigment to color the lip balm from The Pigment Lady. Don't add too much pigment, because unless you add additional ingredients the pigment tends to settle at the bottom of the lip color before it is cured. I like to keep my lip balms simple with fewer ingredients, so I just go for soft colors with the pigment.
You can pour the lip balm directly into containers from the measuring cup. Do this quickly before the balm sets up. If you have lip balm setting up, just throw it back into the microwave again until is it re-melted. One tip for pouring into the lip balm tubes -- use masking tape to tape several of the tubes together. This keeps them upright (they like to tip over) and makes for fast easy pouring. Be sure to pour the lip balm into the tube until it is very mounded on the top as the balm tends to settle once it cures.
Lip balm cures quickly in relation to soap. Overnight will do the job.

Feb. 23, 2008 - Why do Customers Buy More at a Lower Price?
Have you ever noticed that customers will buy more when you give them a deal? Why do customers buy more at a lower price?
I have noticed that grocery stores offer "deals" all the time. For instance they don't say everything is a dollar. Rather they will say 10 for $10. Even though they usually give you each item for $1 whether you buy 10 or not, the suggestion of 10 for $10 usually gets people to buy 10 and not just one or two. Why do you think this is?
I will give you my reason for this. In today's economic condition, I will always buy more at a lower price if it is something consumable, so that I don't have to buy it again next week at a higher price. (For more information on our economic condition you can visit my husband's financial website at Economy Carberator). But if I get to thinking I need to buy ten to get that price, then I will buy ten to get that price.
So I ask you, how are you doing in your sales this week? Do you need to get things going? It's a perfect time to get rid of some extra soap that may be laying around and offer a deal. What kind of "deal" can you offer? Some suggestions would be
buy 5 bars of soap and get an extra bar for FREE
put a soap package together where YOU get to choose the soaps (include one or two that didn't sell super well) and sell the soap package for special price. This is especially a nice idea for Mother's Day ( we are already past Valentine's Day)
Offer ALL customers a punch card where if they buy X number bars of soap they get one or two free. This can help build new repeat customers. If you are at a craft show and someone buys a few bars of soap from you and you give them a punch card and punch the card for them, they will very likely call you again (be sure your co. info is on that card!) Give your customers EXTRA punches when they buy five bars or more or a soap package from you at one time.
Give your customers an incentive if they sell a soap package for you. You know how those direct selling companies have "outside orders only types of classes"? You can offer a "hostess" a free bar of soap for every soap package she sells for you. You give the hostess a form that each buyer fills out so you can follow up with them and add them to your customer base. Make sure your form asks for name, address, phone number, and email. Also, helpful, if they are purchasing for a gift or for themselves.
I am sure you can think of even more incentives to get customers to buy more from you than just one bar of soap. I would love it if you would post your ideas in a comment. We can all help each other grow our soap making businesses.
Spring is coming. That generally means that animals will be having their off-spring and the mamas will have milk. So if you raise goats, that means that soon you will have an abundance of goat milk. If you are like most people who raise goats, you will not be able to use all your goat milk each day as you milk your goats -- there is only so much time in a day. So what to do? Of course we will freeze that creamy goat milk until you have the time to process it into one of many goat milk products. How to freeze the milk for soap making is easy. Start saving small yogurt or sour cream containers (have others help in this endeavor). Each day you can measure your milk by weight into these cartons. I like to freeze uniform weights so there is no guess work or need to re-weigh your milk at soap making time. Then when you are making soap, you take out how many frozen milk cubes you need for your batch of soap and you are ready to go.
If you do not raise goats, it would be a good idea to find someone in your area who does! I know that many goat milkers are happy to sell some of their surplus. How nice it would be to tell your friends and customers who buy or use your soap that their goat milk soap has milk from the neighborhood goat farm in it. Besides soap, there are other goat milk products. How to keep goat milk surplus for those projects is no different than that of soap making. Go ahead-- FREEZE THAT MILK!
