Natural cold process soap-making recipes, perfect for those experienced in traditional soap making. Introduced in early 2020, these free recipes supported our clients during the pandemic. Free to use, but not for commercial distribution, they offer a great way to try formulations before buying a ready-made CPSR or perfecting your own recipe.

A CPSR is required to sell these soaps, available here. We offer a range of ready-made cosmetic assessments.

If you're new to soap making, learn about lye use first through YouTube tutorials. Enjoy experimenting, keep notes, and have fun! These recipes are for specified uses only. For teaching, workshops, or one-to-one tuition, permission must be sought. No method included; no liability accepted for misuse.
