Yes there is. Folks are snapping up her stock. Her main focus is on teaching and supplying though. She is getting quite a few clients. So folks are figuring out bathing with chemicals and detergents sucks compared to real soap.

She got off her bum and got a business going. Said business seems to be going well. GREAT for her. If I were you, I'd start making and delivering her some sammiches right now.

Very nice! Tell your wife congrats!
And allow me to be the first to say that this thread was a VERY refreshing change to the usual whining/ranting/insulting threads most GD posters usually make about their wives! |

She didn't realize what a demand there was for that kind of soap. Quoted: currency is better than sammiches True! |

Thats great, and good luck.
I was in Warner Robins two weeks ago, visiting with on of the wife's childhood friends. The drove us down into town and I could not believe how it has grown from Centerville back to WR. I was stationed there 1970-72 and meet my wife there. |

Quoted: Pics of soa............wife First request for pics from me so help me out hereI think you're looking for photos of wife in soap. I expect we'll have to use our imaginations for that one! There was a question above about shaving soap. There appears to be a market for shaving soap at this forum. A few years back we had a member that was selling soap to a few people, I don't know if it worked into a large enterprise. |

She's working on it now. Thanks, PantherArms762, for letting her know. The cart is busted, appears to be the company she goes through for the shopping cart portion of the website. If you want something, she asks you email her at michelle AT mossycreeksoap.com.

Quoted: Quoted: Looks cool. Is there a market for designer soap? Huge market. Market has been saturated for years. My wife started making soap in the late 90s. Sold it to several local gift shops for a while and at the farmers market. Made a little bit of money, too. The product is great and we haven't used store bought bar soap for over a decade, but there are a lot of mass produced "homestyle" soaps out there now that are selling for $3/bar and you're not going to sell enough at prices like that to make any real money. I'm sure the OP's wife is making great soap and if it contributes a little bit of positive cash flow, great. But don't expect to retire on her soap money. ETA - I'm not trying to rain on any parades, just relating my personal experience. |

ETA - I'm not trying to rain on any parades, just relating my personal experience. Depends on the area. Not many in the business here, so she's doing OK. Not going to retire on it, true enough, at least not selling soap. Plenty of opportunities in teaching others and supplying though. Haven't found many worthwhile bars at $3. The cost of materials is more than that. |

Good for you. I hear you on the whole "less sammiches for me" thing.
My wife is hugely successful in her field, and that means lots of "oh that's great dear" from me and less sammiches from her. But like you, I am very proud of my wife!!! Merry Christmas |
