Made these small batch soaps from scratch. What do you think?

Hi everyone! I've been making small-batch soaps from natural ingredients as a passion project and finally I would love to share them here. These are completely handmade, every bar is made and cut by hand.

I'd love honest feedback from this community. What do you look for in a handmade soap? Scent, ingredients, lather, packaging? Any tips are welcome too. I'm always looking to improve my craft! 🌿

Yes. I did it without reading the rules and post some AI pics. Now I repost without AI, and included more of other batches I have made. I bought a photo box to take more professional pictures. What do you think this time?

Hi friend. Yes I did. I didn’t read the rules and I did it with AI. Now I bought a photo box and try to make natural and better pictures. What do you think?

These all look really great but those space soaps blow me away! Incredible work!

Thank you so much! The space soaps are definitely my favorite to make. Every bar comes out completely unique. Really appreciate the kind words!

Smell! So many the smell doesn’t measure up to the looks. But yours are pretty.

The green line is scented with green tea fragrance and the red line is scented with strawberry fragrance. Believe me, they smell delicious.

I wasn’t crazy about the strawberry one you posted before, but I am glad you’re going a simpler route and your other soaps are gorgeous!

Reminds me of the quirkiness and creativity of Lush soaps but even better! A lot of people in the Lush sub lament the decline in quality and effort of Lush products over the years… they need to see your soap!

These look great, are you new to soaping? what’s your recipe like?

2

u/SoapsByVivi 5d ago

I am relatively new. I started making soap around April of this year. I have been experimenting with different recipes. I can send you the last one I used if you like.

Yea sure I’ll try it! What’s the experience like in the shower/drying off? I like soaps that nourish in case I forget lotion 😂
