Posting Rules

When appropriate, please make use of the suggested flair when posting to this subreddit. If you are posting something, and have a suggestion for a new flair-type, please comment or reach out to the moderators to have it added.

If you spot a recipe that contains errors or mistakes, please report it. Our goal is safety.

When requesting help with a recipe or soaping mishap it is important that you include your recipe by weight. Community members cannot give a well-informed response as to what might have happened without having knowledge of what was used. Any number of ingredients can contribute to something going on. The more information we have, the better we can help.

No self-promotion or spam. Links to personal/professional social media accounts or online stores will be flagged and removed. We are all here to learn about soap making and show off our creations. We do not use this subreddit as a free marketing tool. If someone expresses interest in your soaps in the comments section, we encourage you to send them a private message.

Be kind in comments, we are all here to learn and enjoy each other's work. If there is a critique, remember that the Internet removes a layer of context (body language, and shared history), and your words can more easily be mis-interpreted as confrontational. Keep it civil. Don't use harassing or offensive language or make personal attacks on others.
