About

The Soap Makers Hub was created to support aspiring and growing soap makers with clear, practical, and experience-led guidance.

My journey into soap making began in 2018, I started making Soaps and Skincare after my Son developed Eczema.. What started at the kitchen counter quickly became a deep passion for formulation, process, and ingredient knowledge.

In 2019, that grew into a business with the launch of Bold Natural Soap. Since then, the brand has evolved from handmade soaps into a wider natural skincare range, navigating everything from product development and compliance to scaling, branding, and growth.

The Soap Makers Hub exists to share what I’ve learned along the way — the wins, the mistakes, and the realities of making soap properly and sustainably. Here you’ll find educational content covering soap making processes, natural colourants, essential oil blending, formulation principles, and the foundations needed to move from beginner to confident maker.

This is a space built for learning, experimentation, and clarity — whether you’re just starting out or refining your craft.
