hi, i have a few questions.

1. which is the best process to start with for a beginner?
2.i found a site that has kits with pre measured stuff, is that safe to sell, as i saw on here that you should make a few batches before you sell anything to make sure it is safe.
3. is it really profitable and fun?

Welcome!
With MP soap you don't need to worry about having lye in your house if you have kids or pets. Cold process soap is a whole another story. You might want to read this. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3800

Welcome!

Many soapers start with M and P as it requires less patience to begin with and your product doesn't have to cure for 4 to 6 weeks. It is usable the day you do it!

thanks for the tips. the kits i mentioned are cold process, supposed to be pre-measured and no molds nrequired. i bought 2 and am currently waiting for them to arrive, 3 more days. i am really looking forward to starting and have watched a number of videos on you-tube. they are from botanie.com( the kits). now i plan to go to hobby lobby friday and buy some m&p products. thanks again,
rick sanford

For anyone going to the botanie web site, it has a virus. My computer caught it thank goodness.
