Benefits of Hand Made Soap

Many hobbyists, me included, love making hand made soap. I enjoy using it myself and I adore giving it as gifts to family and friends. They always say “Wow!” when I tell them I made it myself.

Here are some reasons why making hand made soap is so great:

Creativity
It’s fun. Making your own hand made soap can be a lot of creative fun. Let your creativity soar with your choice of design and ingredients!

Control
You control the ingredients. That means your soap can be full of high quality, good stuff for your skin and not full of harsh chemicals or unnecessary additives.

Color
You choose the color. You can make your soap any color you want! Even lime green, if you like that color.

Scent
You control the scent. If you want to make unscented soap you can. If you want to make highly scented soap you can. If you want to think up an interesting scented and colored soap, such as lemon meringue, you can.

Shape
You control the shape of the soap. There are all kinds of soap molds available: hearts, flowers, seashells, even gingerbread men!

Ease of Creating
You can make your own soap today if you use supplies sold at hobby stores. Go shopping in the morning and use your own hand made soap the same evening.

Gift Giving
If you’re stuck thinking of a gift for someone, you can make them some wonderful hand made soap. The recipient will love a gift of gorgeous soap nestled in tissue paper in a pretty gift box. They should be even more impressed when you tell them you made it yourself!

Satisfaction
The satisfaction you derive from making something that’s creative and useful. You don’t have to rely on the stores to provide your soap - you can provide it for yourself and others.

Be warned that soap making is an addictive hobby! I have fun thinking up new scent and color combinations, and when I happen upon a winner, it’s an awesome feeling. Soapmaking encourages my creativity and I’m sure it will encourage yours as well!
