Making and Selling Your own Soaps and Candles

This publication was written in the late 1800’s, and covers a great
deal about the soap and candle making process as was used in past
centuries.
You may find in parts of the publication, certain terms or phrases that
are a bit confusing, or some information that is hard to understand.
In those areas, I have included “Publisher’s notes” in bold red text
to help better clarify the method, process or information to help you
better understand what’s being explained.
This publication is extremely in depth concerning the soap making
process, and I’m sure that once you’ve completed reading it, that
you’ll find that you have a better understanding of the soap making
process so that you’ll hopefully be able to start manufacturing your
own soaps from your own kitchen with confidence.
If you’d like a more up to date manual concerning the soap making
process, then please take a moment to visit CraftseBooks.com and
read about “Oil Beauty & Profits”.
“Oil Beauty & Profits” covers older methods of making soaps (cold
and hot process) as well as more modern methods such as using
your microwave to make wonderful soaps as well as for the melt and
pour and re-batch methods.
“Oil Beauty & Profits” also covers important safety factors you need
to know, that aren’t covered fully in this manual, as well as other
techniques, methods and information that are more up to date than
the information contained in this publication alone.
Making homemade soap is not only fun, it is also extremely
affordable and profitable.
Once you have your basic equipment (most things you’ll need you
probably already have in your kitchen) then the material you’ll need
that costs the most would be your fragrance.

A 5 gallon bucket of lard can be obtained for less than $25.00 (this
will make hundreds of bars of soaps), lye is about $3.00 per bottle
and a gallon of distilled water is less than a dollar at most grocery
stores.
Your fragrance can run from $5.00 to $25.00 per ounce if using pure
essential oils, or from $5.00 to $50.00 per half pound of soap
fragrance.
To help cut costs with your fragrances, you can use a variety of
methods to scent your soaps nicely by using herbs, flowers, fruit rinds
etc. thereby saving a lot of money that can be better used to help
increase your profits more.
There are many methods used to extract scents to use for scenting
your soaps. Expression, distillation and maceration being just a few
of the methods one can use.
These methods are not covered in this manual, but they are covered
in “The Art Of Perfumery”.
“The Art Of Perfumery” not only provides methods used for
scenting soaps but which also provides many wonderful methods and
recipes for making other fine bath and beauty products like sachets,
cosmetics, perfumes etc. “The Art Of Perfumery” even provides
instructions for making your own Ottos (essential oils).
If you’re looking for a nice way to save costs in scenting your soaps,
or if you would like to also try making your own Ottos, perfumes
and/or cosmetics, then you’ll find “The Art Of Perfumery” a delight
to read and to learn from.
In the meantime, I truly hope you enjoy this publication and I hope
that making your own homemade soaps proves to be as fun and
profitable for you, as it has for me since I’ve started enjoying this
wonderful craft.
