Teach Soap

Does anyone use soap making software? I'm trying to organize my business, it needs it, and this seems to be the answer to my problems. Only thing is I use a Mac, which I love, but the most popular soap software needs a patch to run on the Mac. That's a bit like trading in your brand new SUV for a 15 year old clunker, ain't gonna happen!! Would love anyone's thoughts on a tricky subject......

i have a mac to, i boot up in win vistsa if i have a pc program , that way the majority of the time im on the mac boot up , but lemme tell ya my mac runs Vista better than any PC ive every used!!! i HATE pc!! but can tolorate windows through mac........ i know its not the best answer but its the easiest one i have. you can buy vista OEM on the internet with a proper legal key for mcuh less than what you get in the stores, the only dif is no books!!

Soapmaker 3 apparently can . Might be an option.

Soapmaker3 is the best tool I ever bought for soapmaking .Once you get all your data entered , it is a snap to use . It keeps track of everything , your supplies, molds , your recipes , the INCI names and a ton more .I highly recommend it . If it could print labels it would be perfection .

Does anyone use the software for M&P? Is it beneficial for M&P? I've never heard of soapmaking software but since quite the computer geek, I am intrigued.

i do. you just have to tweak it abit as it is mostly geared for CP. it gives me a great outlook on cost per par. i hate math (rather, math hates me ); this helps me.

i actually put my bases under the oils seciton. i labeld them GLYCERIN - ALOE, and so on and so forth. i set it up this way as the bases are the main ingredients, much like the oils, lards and lye are the main ingreadients in CP soap. the additives are things like micas, herbs, FOs and EOs. i labled them MICA - MERLOT SPARKLE , or FO - VANILLA SELECT or EO - LAVENDER, HUNGARIAN.

you can pretty much set it up how you see fit, but the the ingredients go under the menu item "ingredients" in soapmaker. once you have all of your ingredients input into the program, it takes inventory of it and you can see it on your "soap shelf". this will help you with inventory.

its really a kewl little program. i use it regularly. i hope i answered your question...
