Soap makers are artisans who create soap using various ingredients, including oils, fats, and lye. They often follow specific recipes and techniques to produce different types of soap, such as bar soap, liquid soap, or glycerin soap. The process involves combining these ingredients through methods like cold process or hot process, allowing the soap to cure and harden. Many soap makers focus on using natural and organic materials, appealing to consumers who prefer eco-friendly products. They may also incorporate fragrances, colors, and additives like essential oils or herbs to enhance the soap's properties and aesthetic appeal.
