Hi all,
I know I saw a calculation of this somewhere on a site but can't find it now. Anyone know where this is?

Or please let me know how you are pricing your soaps. :P

Thanks!!!

This is great, thanks for posting the link. I used to charge by ounce so a 5 oz soap was $5.00 but now I add on based on design, whether I added shea butter, used an expensive EO etc.

Wow, I was charging 2 dollars, maybe 3 for my soaps. I have only been able to sell one so far, Etsy doesn't seem to be working, nor E-crater. I had one on Ebay for an auction; and the winning bid was $2.25 for a 3.5 ounce soap!!!! Don't know what I'm doing wrong!!!

Just incredible ask and you shall receive a current number of what the costs are for material for a bar of soap. Of course your mileage may vary depending on what size supplies you purchase. From Soapqueen regarding 36 bars of cold process soaps.

Price of materials per bar: $1.00 per bar

I do think you have to be both competitive and consistent in your pricing. If your materials get too costly, and you want to sell, maybe some alterations might be considered.

I still price by the ounce, although some of my retailers just average their cost and price them all the same... even when there is an ounce difference. Mine retail for $1.60 per ounce.
