Packaging Soap and Business Advice!

A long, chatty video about running a business, some of the tools I use, and advice for soap making.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a passionate soapmaker, specializing in cold processed soaps for those with dry, sensitive, itchy skin like mine! It's so hard to find a soap that doesn't hurt my skin, so I formulated my own!
I created this channel to share my passion with people who feel the same passion I do, and maybe demystify the soapmaking process!
I'm on Patreon now! I will be sharing early access to content, exclusive discounts and offers, and some of my formulas. Please consider taking a look, and if you like what you see, consider becoming a Patron! / triplegoddesssoapery

I've done that with labels more times than I want to admit lol! 😂

Your boxes are lovely

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

They r elegant. I have to stamp mine as soon as they r cut or I won’t be able to cut them. I do a 50-50 lye solution and I put a good amount of sodium lactate. I usually have to cut them after gel phase is done and it’s cooled down. My daughter used a rubber mallet and she has to hit it pretty hard. I agree with u. I don’t bevel because a couple minutes into use the edges r no longer an issue at all and I also do not like confetti soap. Beautiful soaps! I seal my boxes with my wax seal wax. I use the wax seal gun that looks like a glue gun. I put mostly everything in boxes then I close it and instead of the sticker I add a little sealing wax and it’s glued shut. I worked on my body butter recipe for over 2 years.
My son has bad eczema
And his skin in the winter would crack and bleed. He doesn’t like anything greasy. So nothing I naught him worked. I did Burt’s Bees, Vaseline , L’Oréal, Oil of Olay and I have tried everything and nothing was a true body butter. I didn’t know that at the time, so I did a lot of research and I learned so much. My goal was just to make my son a body butter that absorbs instantly and is absolutely not greasy while being a true body butter with 0 water. After a small fortune later and 2 years I have my body butter formula and I actually just tweeted it and it’s even better than it was. My son it’s all he’ll use. That was 12 years ago that I formulated my body butter and a bath and body company messaged me and asked if I would give them my recipe and they got nasty when I said no. It’s not ok to think ur entitled to a formula that to someone time to research and the money and ur disappointment and to feel that success. They don’t wanna do any of the work, but want the rewards. There a lot of entitled people in this world. I was shocked at the audacity for anyone to call another company owner and ask for their product formulas. Lol that was 3 years ago and I’m still floored by that.

Thank you! If your soaps are so hard, why do you also add the sodium lactate? I stopped adding it to mine because I only priced a difference in the individual molds like my gingerbread man one.
It really does boggle the mind that people will ask for formulas and get their knickers in a knot if you say no, especially when there's a literal ton of free recipes out there, and free information about just about everything under the sun.
I'm so glad you found something that worked for your son! I started formulating for myself for similar reasons. I can use Dove etc. just fine but I wanted to use the pretty, fun soap, and everything I tried made me dry and itchy.
Thank you so much for watching, and taking the time to leave a lovely comment! I wanted to sit down and type a response at my computer and do it justice, but here I am in bed on my phone! 💜

[@triplegoddesssoapery]

It's unbelievable to me a company would ask for a formula, offer something pathetic, and then get mad you said no! If they really wanted it there would have been a sincere offer. I wonder if you can get residuals or % of sales when the right contract? I suppose you'd need a lawyer and a serious buyer for that 😂

I spend hours getting my soap and fragrances ready to soap....When I'm designing in my book.

[@AmericanManufactury]

Hey, I'm new to soap making (actually haven't made any yet, still doing research etc before diving in). When you showed the scent bottle with the safe percentage, how do you measure that? Thanks!

[@triplegoddesssoapery]

I measure based on percentage of oils. If I use 1,000 grams of oils/ butters, then I'll typically use 5% fragrance if it's safe, so 50 grams. Happy making! 💜

[@AmericanManufactury]

@@triplegoddesssoapery oh that makes perfect sense. Thank you 😊

[@domingorivera6145]
