Purpose
Cost cold process soap, melt & pour, bath bombs, and scrubs by the batch with a built-in lye calculator. It uses the same supplies list, products, and orders as your other studios.
Before you begin
Pick this craft on Start Here so the studio shows in your sidebar.
- 1
Add oils, butters, lye, melt & pour base, fragrance, colorants, and wrap on Supplies by weight (ounces or grams).
- 2
Open the Calculators tab (Lye Calculator; Mold Batch Size tells you the total oil weight for your mold), enter your oils by weight, superfat, and lye concentration. Double-check any new recipe in a second trusted lye calculator before making it. Every studio also has Team & Bulk Quote, Price Sheet, Capacity Planner, and Craft Fair Booth Planner.
- 3
Use the per-bar figures from the calculator as the quantities in your recipe lines.
- 4
On Products & Pricing, price a new product with the Cold / Hot Process Soap, Melt & Pour Soap, or Bath Bombs, Salts & Scrubs method, and plan each pour as a batch on the Batches to Make tab.
- 5
Save the recipe to see cost per item, suggested price, and margin on Products & Pricing.
- 6
Plan an order from the product on Orders to Make. Your stock changes once, only when you choose Mark as made.
What happens next
Your product has a real cost and price, and your stock stays accurate as you make orders.
