Well, initially I will say that you will either succeed, or fail.

One point to make, I haven’t used bar soap for anything in years. Body wash in the shower and hand soap at the sink. I don’t know how typical I am in this regard.

I have spent much of my career in venture capital and still must admit that I am (we all are) beginners.
We don't really know until it happens...and then we claim we knew all along (but of course, we didn't)...

Don’t call it LYE Soap
Give it frilly packing and add lots of lavender.
Women, who buy most soap, will love it.

You might want to consider visiting your local liposuction center.

Dont call it Lye soap.yeah that is too caustic it comes down to a demographic thing maybe you have to market to ecofriendly people with money otherwise, while they are used to lyes, you are trying to sell a useless product to the Great Unwashed Masses

I remember as a kid in the 50's being told that Ivory had lye in it. I think it was even advertised that way in early days. My next post confirms that Ivory still has lye in it.
I've bought bar soap all my life. Wouldn't even think of going hunting for soap like yours at 5 times the price.

Take introductory organic/inorganic chemistry at community college to get insight on your products & processes Maybe youll decide to make silver polish or air freshener instead

Here’s something I’ve noticed. When a woman sees a shell she has an irresistible impulse to put it on the back of the toilet.
So, make your soap in little balls, wrap them in shiny paper, and arrange them in a big sea shell.
Women will lap it up.

I've made my own soap for years. ps to all, you can't make soap of any kind without lye. I tried selling for a while in craft shops and spas. Maybe I broke even. I gave up trying to market my soaps when the government made it so difficult to buy lye.(It seems it is also essential for making meth) Of course when I stopped making volume batches, I got several requests from stores about putting a display. Maybe I just gave up too soon.

I make our own basic soap out of neccesity. regular soaps are full of talc & titanium dioxide which when combined with our well water make a granite hard deposit on all our fixtures. My soap bars also last much longer than regular bars.
Back to the business end. Some local ladies are doing just that. They only make specialty or designer soaps. Different oils, colors, packaging and uses. I got a specialty bar for fisherman as a gift, cleans hands and leaves a pleasant smell that attracts fish:)

Check out the
Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild . You might get some ideas there. Also,
Bramble Berry is a great website for unusual and crafty soap recipes and techniques. Follow their link to the Soap Queen Blog. They are also on Face Book and I often see ideas that inspire me to try something new.

Learn the song “Grandma’s Lye Soap.” Sing it to people, and pay attention to their comments.
