I’ve let go of liquid soaps in the last few years and opted to used classic solid soaps for my hygiene but between trendy scents or seasonal supply I haven’t been able to find a soap I can stay with.
This led me to consider making my own soap but is it worth it?
Artisanal soaps are expensive and hard to find in my country and mostly pass the notion they are targetting luxury customers and not making something for everyone to use and enjoy and trying to make an effort to create change.
I am aware initial costs have to be considered and that there is a learning to it.
For what it’s worth, my intuition tells me the soap market in my country is currently heavily geared towards women and even more towards a niche within the general population of women that go into the extreme girly style.
Most soaps are incredibly sweet scented, heavy on flowers and fruits. This leaves men’s soap, my case, to become a very narrow market. Men’s market is currently covered by the big brands - Axe, Old Spice, etc -through their “active/sports/urban” lines of body wash that usually smell like cars or floor disinfectant covered with a layer of cheap, strong, short lasting perfume.
Not my thing.
