Soap business questions, answered
What is LatherForge?
LatherForge is business software for handmade soap makers who sell. It keeps your recipes, production batches, cure dates, cost per bar, pricing and compliance records together in one dashboard, so you stop running the business from notebooks and spreadsheets.
Is the soap calculator really free?
Yes. The Soap Calculator (lye, water and superfat for cold and hot process soap) and the Etsy Pricing Calculator are free to use with no signup and no card. They are two of the tools inside LatherForge, open to every maker.
When does LatherForge launch?
LatherForge goes live on 1 January 2027. Join the waitlist and you get one email when it opens, plus 14 days free on launch day.
How much does LatherForge cost?
Starter is free. The Craft Pack is €29 a month and covers everything a serious soap maker needs. The Business Pack (€49 a month) and Studio (€89 a month) are for growing brands, multi-channel sellers and small teams.
Does LatherForge help with UK and EU cosmetic compliance?
It keeps ingredient lists, batch numbers, safety-assessment records and label data together with the products they belong to, so your paperwork is organised before anyone asks for it. LatherForge organises your records; a qualified safety assessor still has to sign off your products.
I sell on Etsy. How does LatherForge help me price?
Use the free Etsy Pricing Calculator to see Etsy fees, your true cost per unit and what you actually keep, in USD, GBP or EUR. Inside LatherForge, your real cost per bar comes from your recipes and batches, so your price is a decision instead of a guess.
“Soap makers are brilliant at the craft and badly served by software. I built LatherForge to give a one-person soap business the same control a factory has, at a price a maker can actually afford.”
