Your soap recipes,
beautifully calculated
Soap Studio is a free recipe formulation app for cold-process and hot-process soapmakers. Accurate lye calculations, mould optimisation, batch logging, IFRA safety checks — and a calm, uncluttered workspace that feels like a creative lab, not a spreadsheet.
Free to download · Works offline · No account required
Trustworthy maths
Every lye calculation is verified decimal-place accurate against SoapCalc and SoapmakingFriend. The numbers you weigh out are safe numbers.
Mould optimiser
Tell Soap Studio your mould dimensions and target bar weight. It finds the best cut plan — loaves, bars per loaf, cutting diagram — and never proposes a bar lighter than your target.
Batch journal
Log every batch with dates, temperatures, notes, and photos. Recipes are snapshot-stored, so your history survives even if you later change or delete a recipe.
No barriers
Nothing blocks calculation. No mandatory fields, no forced workflows, no accounts. Start a recipe, get your lye weights — done. Advanced features earn their place behind toggles.
Built by a soaper, for soapers
Soap Studio started as a port of a trusted Excel lye calculator that had been refined over years of real soapmaking. The goal was simple: take something mathematically solid and make it feel like a creative workshop instead of a spreadsheet.
The app is free to the soapmaking community. It works offline — in your kitchen, your shed, wherever you make soap. No adverts, no subscriptions, no cloud dependency.
