It has been a little while since we’ve done a “What’s New” post and there are many new products to report on, including a new book on making milk soap from scratch. It has been months in the making so we’re super excited to share it with you. It covers making all types of milk soap – from cow milk to hemp milk to goat milk – the book has techniques you can use with a wide variety of milks.

Row 2: 10″ Silicone Loaf Mold, Milk & Honey Mold, 9 Cube Soap Silicone Mold (hint: buy it with Sodium Lactate)

Row 2: Making Cold Process Soap – E-Book by Anne-Marie Faiola , Beginner’s Cold Process Soap Kit
In addition, we have also added four new fragrance oils (Lavender Green Tea, Earl Grey Lemon, Honey Beeswax and Pikake Flower ); a brand new Pure Olive Oil that is great for advanced CP recipes; Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa); Cream of Tartar in bulk, Meringue Powder and Castile Grated Rebatch Soap Base.
Does anyone already have some of the new products? I’d love to know what you think of them.
I am trying to research and gather all materials I need before I purchase the Beginner CP Kit. What about a thermometer? Do I need the one sold on the site?
Hi Cassie!
Having a temperature gun is a really handy resource when you are soaping. I use mine constantly with both cold process and melt & pour soaping and it really helps me to keep my soaps at a temperature where I want them to be!

I saw this mold in action last week and it looked like something I might buy!
Thank you so much for including the CP details of the use of this mold. Details in product write-ups sell product, learned that in a conference session!
What fun new products! I’m going to have to check out the milk soapmaking book. The new fragrance oils sound wonderful, too!
Question for you Anne-Marie, would you consider doing a custom silicon liner for my large (44 soaps) wooden soap mould? I would send you very clear dimensions etc. Let me know! xo Jen
Hi Jennifer!
We don’t do custom liners at this time, but it is a great suggestion! Currently, we are testing some really cool silicone liners for our current molds and we are hoping to bring them on board! 🙂

I bought the Beginner’s CP kit back in mid-April. I was really nervous about diving into CP after only having experience in M&P, but the kit is great! My first batch was fairly successful, IMHO…just waiting for it to finish curing – I am dying to use it!!
Pikake is one of my favorite fragrances! Can’t wait to try the new Bramble Berry Pikake!
You will love this Pikake Flower FO, it smells like a vacation to Hawaii to me, I adore it!

I have used your Cold Process E-Book. It is a wonderful resource for a beginner wanting more. Prior to the book I had only made 3 small batches of milk soaps. This book really explained more to me than I had been taught and having additional recipes is nice to. The pictures are very inspiring. Definately making me challenge myself. I can’t wait till I place my next order so I can get the milk soap book (since that is my origin).
I have the cube mold – I absolutely love it. The soaps are just so cute!
I loved Beginners Cold Process Kit!! It had everything I needed and the E-Book explained the whole process easily! I had so much fun with this!!!
It is such a great beginners kit and it explain cold process so well. We are so happy to hear that it made it easy for you!
