Making Soap Magazine

For 20 years, we've had the privilege to serve hundreds of thousands of candle and soap makers, from hobbyists to popular indie brands.

You may have heard about our industry-leading safety standards for fragrance oils, but did you know we offer more than that? From essential oils and reed diffusers, to cosmetic bases and melt and pour soap, we have your crafting needs covered.

Looking for fragrances with cold process performance notes? Review all of the fragrances we've tested in cold process soap on our Cold Process Testing Notes page.

We're also here to help. Whether you have questions for our Customer Support Team, want to start or grow your business, or join our online communities, we're ready with the guidance and resources you need.
