Teach Soap

Hello fellow soaping buddies!

I am brand new to soaping but am addicted already! But I have 2 questions,

I mentioned to a flea market owner that I am starting to make Home made soap to sell. She suggested that I bring some up to her shop on a consignment basis. That sounded great until she told me she gets 25 % ????? That sounded kinda high but since I am a newbie I thought I should get some professional advice on her percentage!


Second, I made some BB Goats milk M & P soap and added some shredded loofah to the mixture. All tho some of the loofah was throughout the soap when it dried, most of it rose to the top or the "back" of the soap. Any advice on what I did wrong?


Thanks in advance for your help

25% is not too bad. Some places want even more than that. As far as the loofah, you need to mix it into the soap when it's almost cool, so it stays suspended.

With the shredded loofah thing. You may find that many people like the way the soap is with the scrubby side and the smooth side.
With my pumice soaps, I used to try so hard to get the pumice to suspend all throughout the soap only to have people say, "Oh, I like it when it's just on one side, so it's scrubby."

Now that you've filled your 2 question quota, I don't want to see anymore questions from you

Thanks WinterMoon. I kinda thought that myself about the scrubby side. I used a bar in the bath and liked it that way. Sounds like a simple solution.

Ok..... I have used up all my questions so I guess I better learn fast!!!!
