Hi, yes I purchase before I made my Ist cp soap,it's great,I can creat my own recipes and print them out with my notes. For instance I made a soap and the fragrance turned to brown, so I updated my recipes and put that in my notes,it keep track of your inventory and eqipment,just remember when you purchase it put all your supplies,cost etc,then when you create your recipes it will tell you how much it cost to make it and the price of each bar it cost, it's the best thing since peanut butter,lol. I print out a picture of my soap and put it in my folder with the recipes and it will give you your ingredient to copy and past to put on your labels.
