Holiday and gift soap

Welcome to the Sunday October Social Soapers Extraordinaries Meet Up of 2024! Hope you can make it!

It's that time again! Today we'll be making soap that will be ready in time for you to gift to your friends and loved ones for the holiday season. We'll have some fun embeds for you to use if you want to add any. Have a think about what you want to do for your soap and make it come true. Soap makes a great gift. Every one need soap. Every one uses it. It can keep for years and doesn't go off. Just gets better. It's unique and personal and people appreciate the effort you've gone to for them.

You can bring your own favourite scent. Or use ours. We have a wide range of scents to use. If bringing your own essential or fragrance oils you will need at least 30 grams. And it will need to be 100% pure.

Important things to remember about soap making

Making soap can be quite dangerous, so you will learn about soap safety on the day.
Caustic Soda, lye, Sodium Hydroxide is the most important ingredient in making soap but are also highly corrosive - this is not avoidable. By RSVPing you acknowledge that these materials will be used on the day and near you and potentially handled by you - but as little as possible, and you accept all liability.
Soap can take up to 6 weeks to fully cure before you can use it, please do not use it straight away.
