Why Soapmakers Love Soapy Friends
Verified Soapy FriendOne of the best learning sites available. Easy to follow tutorials complete with mathematical spreadsheets for easy calculations. Fun and interactive live zooms where any and all your questions may be answered. Great community of friendly people.
Verified Soapy FriendI absolutely loved this bundle! I am a beginner soap maker and want to follow the path of natural soap (well, as natural as possible) and learning how to use botanicals and blend colors is a must. Kandra’s book gets you started with lots of great information on how to do it and her knowledge of colors and how to blend them is amazing! She is also very attentive during her live courses and answers question with lots of extra information. For the online courses, you can also make comments and ask any question and she will respond to them quickly.
Verified Soapy FriendIt is a great book. I luv that the recipe is simple and easy for most of us to access the ingredients no matter where we are in the world. Thanks Kandra. I live in Australia and a lot of the recipes from soaper's in US have ingredients that can be quite expensive here AU in the amounts they use. So this is great and thoughtful of those around the world. Much appreciated.

Hi, I’m Kandra.
I created Soapy Friends to be a welcoming place where anyone can learn natural soapmaking. Whether you’re brand new or have been making soap for years, you’ll find tutorials, experiments, and classes designed to help you understand how soap really works.
My passion is exploring natural color in soap — from plants, roots, spices, clays, and minerals. I love experimenting, documenting what happens, and sharing what I learn with other soapmakers. Many of the lessons here come from years of testing, teaching, and writing my book The Natural Soap Color Palette.
If you enjoy learning, experimenting, and making beautiful soap, you’re in the right place.
