Production Starter Kits

A kit is simply the materials for one honest production run, put together so nothing is missing on the day you mix. The totals below are calculated live from the same product pages, so they cannot drift out of date.

Each kit comes with the formulation sheet, the mixing order, and a costing so you can see what a litre works out at before you sell it. If you would rather swap a material or change a pack size, say so and we will re-price it.

Which kit should you start with?

If you have never made anything before, start with liquid soap and dishwashing liquid. The chemistry is forgiving, the materials are cheap, the market is everywhere, and the same base gets you two products. Bleach is even simpler but margins are thin and transport eats them, so it works best if you are selling locally in volume.

Fabric softener and handwash are where the money usually is, because customers pay for scent and feel. They need a little more care with preservatives and emulsification, but nothing you cannot manage after one or two batches.

What a kit does not include

Mixing drums, paddles and a scale are listed separately under equipment and safety, because most people already have some of it. You will also want gloves and splash goggles, they are cheap, and the alternative is not.

Repeat production

Once you know your monthly volume, stop buying kits and buy the individual materials in the largest pack you can store safely. That is where the margin improves. Send us your monthly figures and we will tell you which lines are worth moving up a pack size and which are not.
