This is not how you research, I know.
But at 12, I thought all there was to it was to make up soap recipes and stir ingredients all day long.
I think I wanted to call my business "Amy's purple angel glitter soap inc."
That dream died really fast.
I did manage to get quite a few interesting recipes which are quite unique.
I shall share them for the interest of any fellow 12 year old entrepreneurs to be.
Note: All of these are extremely simple recipes and with mostly natural ingredients. I preferred them because back then, I could not run out and buy a tub of lye to play around with.
