Hi, I’m Kandra 👋
Here’s why I created the Soapy Friends Starter Kit:
One of my favorite parts of Soapy Friends is the community we’ve built together. I genuinely love helping soapmakers learn, experiment, and gain confidence every day.
The Starter Kit is my way of sharing as much as I can with every soapmaker who joins our community. Whether you’re making your very first batch of soap or you’ve been soaping for years, I hope these resources help you learn something new, solve a problem, and discover just how much fun soapmaking can be.
I wish I could make absolutely everything I create free, but creating in-depth courses, testing natural colorants, hosting live classes, and continually developing new resources takes a tremendous amount of time. That’s only possible because of the incredible support of my Soapy Friends members—especially the Best Friends Club.
When you’re ready to go deeper, the Starter Kit is your first step to enjoying everything else Soapy Friends has to offer.
Happy soaping, and I look forward to seeing you in class!
