Jcandleattic Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Both. I sell about half of everything I make. I wish people would buy more, but eh, I love using my products also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitenaildesign Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Just like Carebear, I mainly make them for home and swaps, but on occasion sell a couple at the salon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbv1 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I have mainly been using these for personal use, family, friends. I just got my website up so I plan on having a business at some point. I better start selling soap soon because I am running out of storage space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkangel Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I make mine for personal/gift use. I made it to sell for a little while and had a market for it, but found out I didn't like the 'mass production' and would rather make small custom batches.

HeavenScentU Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Personal use for the past 8 years and just this year I decided to go public. I don't make cp soaps just everything else. It seems this year is the year for bath and body stuff out their. Lots and lots of competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindym Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Both and when I go away, I always take my own soap. I can not imagine ever using a commercial bar of soap again. It is a godsend on the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traceyy Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Right now just personal use. One day I may get the confidence to give them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I make soap for personal use AND to sell. Occasionally for a swap I'll make some too, but not often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm a convert now that I make my own CP soap-used to only use shower gel, and now would use nothing besides handmade/homemade soap!I haven't really started pushing/selling my cp soap as of yet, but I've been giving away quite a few (need the room to make MORE) to see if they'll generate more sales. Just yesterday I went out and bought some of those plastic shoebox sized boxes so I can clear off my drying racks and make more soap!! Yep, I'm addicted!!!

heirloomoriginals Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Both. I started out making it just for personal use, as well as giving to family. Now I am trying to make it a major part of my business. I haven't found it anywhere else around here.I do still use and make shower gel from base. I like to take it when we go away somewhere over night, that way I don't have to worry about messy soaps!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
