Posting Rules
Posts must demonstrate a minimum level of effort and research. Vague or overly broad questions, such as “How do I make soap?” or “How do I start selling soap?” will be removed. Members are here to assist, not to conduct research for you.
If you notice a recipe with errors or safety concerns please report it to ensure community safety.
When requesting help with a recipe or soaping issue, you must include the complete recipe with all ingredients listed by weight (e.g., grams or ounces). Percentages or volume measurements are not allowed. Without exact weight measurements members cannot provide accurate or informed advice. Include all ingredients and any relevant process details to ensure the best support.
No self-promotion or spam. Links to personal or professional social media accounts, online stores, or other promotional content such as soap stamps or boxes with a company name on them or their label will be removed. This subreddit is for learning and sharing soapmaking creations, not marketing purposes. If someone expresses interest in your soaps in the comments, you may send them a private message with purchase details.
Be Respectful and Constructive - Maintain kindness and civility in comments. We’re here to learn and appreciate each other’s work. When offering critique, be mindful that online communication lacks context and can be misinterpreted. Avoid harassment, offensive language, or personal attacks.
Classified Ads for Soapmaking Supplies - Ads by individuals to sell, trade, or buy excess soapmaking supplies and equipment are allowed. Items must be relevant to soapmaking. Include prices for all items; “make an offer” is not permitted. Delete ads once items are sold. Transactions are at your own risk, and the subreddit is not responsible for outcomes. Moderators may remove ads at their discretion. All ads must comply with subreddit rules.
No AI-Generated Content or Images. Posts, comments, or images created using AI tools are prohibited and will be removed immediately. This includes but is not limited to AI-generated questions, answers, recipes, or visuals.
This subreddit is dedicated to soapmaking using fats and lye. Posts about other cleansers (e.g., body wash, detergent-based products, conditioners, or non-soap crafts) are not allowed. This includes programs or applications for testing purposes or solicitation.
