Hello Everyone,
I am very happy to be here. My daughter and I started sudsing after I received a soap making kit from my husband for Christmas. I don't think he realised what he was starting! I am now obsessed and have moved on to CP soaping. We have also started making other bath products which I imagine is quite common once you begin. I have a science background and worked in a wet lab most of my career until the last 10 years. I miss the work a lot and find that the chemistry aspect of soap making to be really fun. I am really looking forward to learning as much as I can from everyone here. Thanks for having me

Welcome.

Some folks stick with just soap, some add a few other products, some go all out with a wide range of bath and body.

Hello, I also added a few things to my list. I make shower melts, bath bombs and scrubs. I make these because they are ready immediately (3days for melts and bombs) and it is something I can do while my soaps are curing. Makes sense to me lol.

Welcome, welcome! I too like the chemistry part -- and the creative aspect as well. I've tried making several things but have decided now to focus on CP soap, lotion bars (warning, I post a lot about lotion bars), and lip balm.

Welcome! I also quickly expanded into additional bath products. Mud masks were an easy one for me to include, since I already have the clays and botanicals in stock to color and decorate my soaps.
