How Fun with Soap Has Empowered Skills Development Since 2006
By Deborah Rogers – Founder, Fun with Soap
In 2006, Fun with Soap began with a simple belief: learning a practical skill can change a life. What started as a passion for handmade soap has grown into one of South Africa's trusted soap and cosmetic ingredient suppliers, supporting beginners, hobbyists, and small business owners with quality supplies and educational resources.
Today, our mission remains the same—to make soap making and cosmetic formulation accessible to anyone willing to learn.
# # # More Than a Supplier
Fun with Soap has never been just about selling ingredients. We believe knowledge should be shared.
Over the years, we've built a learning ecosystem that includes:
* Step-by-step recipes
* Soap making calculators
* Technical data sheets
* Questions and answers for beginners
* Tutorials on skincare, candles, perfumes, and bath products
These resources help people develop confidence before they even make their first product.
# # # Turning Creativity Into Income
One of the greatest rewards has been seeing customers transform a new skill into a business.
Many people start by making soaps for their families. Others grow into selling at markets, opening online stores, or creating their own skincare brands.
Skills development is about more than learning a craft. It's about creating opportunities, building confidence, and giving people the tools to become self-reliant.
# # # Supporting Beginners Every Step of the Way
Starting something new can feel overwhelming.
That's why Fun with Soap focuses on making the learning journey easier through:
* Beginner-friendly kits
* Easy-to-follow instructions
* Quality ingredients
* Ongoing educational content
Whether someone wants to make their first melt-and-pour soap or formulate advanced skincare products, there are resources designed to help them grow.
# # # Growing With Technology
As the community grew, so did the ways people could learn.
Fun with Soap expanded beyond the website with educational platforms, social media content, and a mobile app that makes shopping for supplies more convenient while keeping inspiration close at hand.
# # # Looking Ahead
After nearly two decades, the vision remains clear.
We want to inspire even more South Africans to learn practical skills, explore their creativity, and build something meaningful with their own hands.
Every soap poured, every candle made, and every lotion formulated represents more than a finished product—it represents confidence, growth, and the courage to start.
