Why Our Soap Supplies Stand Out

  • Bulk Options Available: Save when you buy larger quantities

Frequently Asked Questions: 

Q: What's the biggest mistake first-time soap makers make?
A: One of the most common mistakes is adding way too much fragrance oil. It's tempting to pour in more scent, but, it can cause:

  • Weeping soap ("sweating" droplets)
  • Skin irritation risks

Q: What happens if you overheat the melt and pour soap base?
A: It can become too bubbly, your base could harden lumpy instead of smooth, or you could burn off delicate fragrance oils. To avoid this, melt your soap low and slow using short bursts in the microwave or a double boiler, and gently stir as it melts. Aim to keep it under 160°F for best results.

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you! For candles, we recommend adding your fragrance to the melted wax when it’s at the correct temperature (usually around 185°F, but check your wax’s specs). Mix well, pour, and let the magic happen. For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully. Need more tips? Check out our resources—we love helping makers like you!

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always check IFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
