soap making supplies

This is a list of soap making tutorials, soap supplies, lye calculators, soap history and soap recipes that you may find beneficial.

If you're new to soaping, not all lye calculators are created equal, meaning, they each have different formulations for your lye & water amounts. You'll find, some are more suited for cp (cold process) soaps while others tend to make a more firm hp (hot process) bar.

Happy soaping!

  1. Oooh, oooh, oooh (hand raised in the air, LOL)...Columbus Foods is also a great resource for supplies, particularly fixed oils and butters. Some of the cheapest prices around, even on organic :) Great resource post!
