NOV/DEC

Formulary
​Our all-formula issue

​Here it is, one of our favorite issues: the Formulary! We ask our writers to include a formula or a tutorial so that you can create new items. 

Our writers have a lot of experience making soap, cosmetics, and candles.
​
Try out new ideas for holiday gifts, personal use, or selling at events. You’ll have plenty of projects to keep you busy during those long January and February days, or to develop for your product line in 2026.

Happy holidays, and we wish you a wonderful 2026!
