Whether you’re a brand-new Soakie or a seasoned creator, these five techniques will ensure your products are of the highest quality, giving you the opportunity to take your business to the next level in 2025.

Start with High-Quality Ingredients ⭐
The foundation of any high-quality product is the ingredients you use.

Use Accurate Measurements 🧪
Precision is key to creating high-quality home, bath and body products.
Use digital scales for accurate measurements of ingredients, especially when dealing with the more intricate processes, like Melt and Pour Soap.
Even slight deviations can affect the texture, effectiveness and safety of your products. So, consider investing in reliable measuring tools such as jugs, pipettes and mixing bowls with precise volume markers.
Incorporate Proper Mixing Techniques 🥄
The way you blend ingredients can significantly impact the quality of your final product.
For products like body butter, emulsifying oils and water at the right temperature is critical to achieving a smooth texture. For melt and pour soap, you need to rach the correct “trace” stage, where the mixture thickens slightly, ensures the soap sets well and doesn’t crack. With bath bombs, achieving the right balance of dry and wet ingredients is vital to avoid activation.
Test and Refine Your Recipes 🔎
Product development requires patience and testing.
Before producing in larger quantities, create small batches to evaluate performance. Test your products for texture, scent and skin feel. Be sure to keep a detailed log of your experiments, noting adjustments and outcomes to perfect your recipes over time.
Prioritise Packaging and Storage 📦
Packaging does more than protect your items, it also adds to their overall appeal. Choose designs that reflect the quality of your creations, whether you opt for creatively labelled jars or sleek, minimalist bottles.
Make sure to store your finished products in a cool, dry environment to keep them in optimal condition.
