People make soap for different reasons. Some do it as a hobby. They give the soaps they make as gifts or use these soaps themselves. Others make soap to start their own business. Soap is a lucrative item to sell. The next time you shop, take the time to look at all the soap brands there are and how heavily each one is being marketed. You may not believe it but businesses – successful ones at that – have been built on soap.

One of them is Burgundy Soap Co., a company owned and started by Burgundy Shank. Shank is a soapmaking expert whose advice you could surely benefit from. In her ebook ‘Simple Soapmaking’, she reveals techniques and tips of the trade that will help you make your own soap effectively and efficiently.

If you want to make your own soap, you would do well to read ‘Simple Soapmaking’. When you do, you will learn how to preserve your soap and extend the shelf life of the scents in your bars. You will discover how to speed up the process and get to know the different processes that you can use to make your own soap. You will also learn how to make your own recipes from scratch, store and package your bars so that they look commercially attractive, and how to save a batch of soap that you botched up.

Making soap may seem easy but the work that goes into each batch is painstaking. You have to pay careful attention to details. Without an expert to steer your soapmaking onto the right path, you may commit some of the most basic mistakes, such as adding lye to hot water. Never add lye to hot water. If you do, the mixture  will product harsh fumes that are harmful when inhaled deeply. So you see, even a task as easy as soapmaking can be dangerous if you choose to wing it. Don’t.
