Starting a Soap Business - 5 Easy Tips

!±8± Starting a Soap Business - 5 Easy Tips

Starting a soap business is one of those rare home business opportunities that actually can work. Plus you can do it for a very small investment and make some money quickly. There are several large businesses that have grown from small scale soap making ventures. It's possible yours could be the next. But most people who start a soap business are satisfied with making a part-time income from their hobby. If that's you then read on.

Making Great Soap.

The first requirement for a small scale soap business is great soap. Many people try to sell junky looking soap that doesn't work very well and doesn't even smell good either. That's a sure road to nowhere. Take the time to really learn how to make great soap that looks as good and works as well as any you can find. Use your creativity to make your products different from the competition. Ideas might be using only natural essential oils for scents or how about using organic oils? Maybe consider making milk soap.

Why Buy From You?

If your soap is unique to you, then you can sell that difference. The only place to get your unique product is from you. Also, tell your story. Where do you make this product? How did you start doing this? Does anyone work with you? Are there special properties to this product? What kind of service do you offer that's better than anyone else? Make it easy to choose to buy from you.

What Goes With Soap?

And along with your unique soaps, are there other things you can offer? What complements your soap? It could be garden produce or maybe bulk herbs. Then it could be your own line of organic salves and balms. Combine any craft with skin care products. But don't limit yourself to just things you can make. Anything you can buy wholesale is free game. You might make more money selling things you buy than things you make.

Sell A Lot In A Hurry.

To really make money you must consider efficiency. The faster you can sell your product the better. You can drive for miles making sales presentation and just sell a few bars of soap. Then maybe you can find some event where you can sell hundreds of bars of soap in just a few hours. Some craft shows are just like that. Sell hundreds of bars of soap plus other items in just a few hours. Now that's efficient. The trick is finding how to do that and finding where to go.

Follow Up.

Once you have a customer, it's much easier to sell to them than to find another customer. You have many options for selling to your customers. You can put together little catalogs or brochures using software you already have on your computer. It's easy. People will reorder if you give them an fast way to do that. You can also mail out your catalog to your customer list. Need some money? Mail out a catalog. It's easy once you learn how.

Starting a soap business is a real chance to make a great part-time income. It's easy to get started and takes only a small investment. Make great soap and tell your story and people will buy. Stay in touch with your customers and you can quickly build a real business.

Natural Colorants For Handmade Soap

!±8± Natural Colorants For Handmade Soap

As a soapmaker, you'll notice that many soaps will naturally turn out different colors. For example, whenever I've added honey to soap, the soap has turned honey-colored. If it is important to you, like it is to me, that your soap is 100% all-natural, you'll be disappointed with many of the available soap dyes. Why? Because they contain the same chemicals used to color commercial soaps-namely FD&C colors (FD&C stands for Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics). These are also the ingredients used in food coloring. Some of the known side effects of FD&C colorants include:

 FD&C Red #40 causes lymphomas and tumors  FD&C Yellow #5 (used in Dial soap) causes allergies, thyroid tumors, lymphomas, chromosomal damage, triggers asthma, hives, and hyperactivity  FD&C Yellow #6 causes hives, runny nose, nasal congestion, bronchial constriction, anaphylactic reaction, bruising, allergies, and kidney tumors.   FD&C Green #3 (used in Irish Spring soap) causes bladder tumors   FD&C Blue #2 causes brain tumors

The only color-true natural soap dyesout there are annatto seed (orange), alkanet root (magenta), ratanjot (purple), spirullina, seaweed/kelp (all green), vanilla extract, coffee, cocoa powder (all deep brown), red and/or white wine (both make soap pink), carrot juice (orange), pureed cucumber (green), and tomato (peach). These colorants definitely hold up in handmilling and may stand up in cold processing. I also know for sure that beets (reddish-pink) do not work in coloring soap whether used in cold-processing or handmilling. Turmeric (bright yellow) and paprika (orange) can also be used to dye soap with pretty good results.

The only natural soap dyes that I know of made commercially are available from TKB Trading, Cranberry Lane, and Sun Feather Natural Soap Co. TKB Trading offers oil-based natural dyes: oil-based blue (from blue gardenia flowers), oil-based green (from chlorophyll--the stuff that causes grass stains), oil-based red (from beetles or "carmine"--this one is not vegan), and oil-based yellow (from annatto seed). Be aware that TKB Trading has a minimum for orders. Cranberry Lane offers Ratanjot (purple) and Annatto Seeds (yellow). Sun Feather offers powdered natural pigments, which are made of pulverized minerals and plant material. Their offerings include: yellowish-brown (brown ochre), bright white (titanium dioxide), purple (ultramarine purple), earthy green (chromium oxide), earthy yellow (yellow ochre), bright blue (ultramarine blue), and earthy yellow (yellow sienna).

Furthermore, most all color in soap will fade over time. Ironically, reds are known for bleeding. Mineral pigments (and micas) are more likely to fade in the light than others. Do not use things that are not made for soaps, cosmetics, or food, such as crayons, candle dyes, or paint.
