I'm new from Australia

Hi My name is Tanja and I am from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. I am new to soap making and would like to learn how to make a variety of products that I could sell on my website one day.

Hi Tanja,

Welcome to the forum!

You said you're new to soapmaking but I see you're already selling soap on your site. Is that soap made by someone else?

I recommend to all people who are thinking of selling soap to read this info.

Yes the soap is made my someone else. I am hoping to make some myself and sell it on the website

Have you been researching making soap from scratch? Have you already researched it and have supplies so you're looking for encouragement for the next step? Have you already made a batch or several batches?

I don't know how far along you are and I don't want to be offensive by telling you things you already know.

I am using melt and pour soap. I have some supplies ie goats milk soap and have made a batch of unscented coloured butterfly soap in the molds for the first time last weekend and also I added ground oats to one batch and pumice to another batch. But they sunk to the bottom of the soap so I am trying to learn to do this.

Have you seen the Anne-Marie Faoila's (probably misspelled her last name) soapqueen blog and soapqueentv on youtube? She has a lot of info on MP and CP.

Have you looked through the MP section here? Ilineb has some great pics of MP soaps she's done.
