Making Soap - an unexpected adventure

I spent the day entering raw materials inventory into the new Soapmaker 3 software program I purchased ($89 from www.soapmaker.ca). So that included all of the oils, butters, lye, fragrance oils, colorants, additives, herbs. And supplier & pricing info for all of the above.

Whew that was tiring. BUT -

I now know that I have:
$537.04 in base oils/butters
$35.99 in lye
$906.47 in additives (fragrances, colorants, etc)
$7.50 in packaging

I skipped adding a ton of smaller quantity fragrances (1 oz) from sample packs, and I haven’t added in essential oils yet. I’m only going to add in EOs where I have volume over 8 ounces each. There is some packaging stuff that isn’t entered either. But the vast majority is entered!

So happy.

And so exhausted. It’s 10 PM. I’m going to take a shower and watch some Netflix then crash.
