Copyright & Terms

Last updated: September 2026

Copyright

This website, its design, its written content, and its oil database (including the SAP values, fatty acid profiles, and notes compiled and cross-checked for each oil) are copyright of Soaper Hub - All Rights Reserved.

You may not copy, scrape, redistribute, or commercially exploit this site's content or oil database, in whole or in part, without our express written permission. You may not incorporate it into another calculator, website, app, or publication, whether free or paid.

What you're free to do

The calculator itself is free to use for personal and commercial soap making. Specifically, you may:

Use the calculator to build, price, and print your own recipes, including recipes for soap you intend to sell.
Print, save, or export the Recipe Summary page (including as a PDF or JSON file) for your own records.
Share a Recipe Summary you've generated with other people for their personal use - for example, printing a copy for a friend, or posting a recipe in a soap-making forum.

What you may not do, without our permission, is redistribute the site's own content, design, or oil database independently of a recipe you've actually built with it - for example, republishing our oil data as your own reference chart, or copying the site's layout and text for another project.

No warranty

The calculations, oil data, INCI names, and suggested retail pricing on this site are provided as a guide, not a guarantee. SAP values in particular vary by a few percent between published sources industry-wide, and we've been upfront about our own confidence level on the oils where we're least certain. Always cross-check an unfamiliar oil against a second source, weigh your own lye, and follow proper lye safety practice. We're not liable for the outcome of a batch made using figures from this site.

If you're selling soap, the INCI label generator on this site produces a draft ingredient list to work from - it is not a substitute for checking your actual legal labelling and cosmetic safety obligations in whatever country you sell in.

Suggesting an oil

The calculator itself runs in your browser, and your recipes are never sent to or stored on our server. The one exception is the "Suggest one to add" form, which does send what you type into it - an oil name and an optional note - so that we can review it. That form doesn't ask for your name or email address, and we don't store contact details with suggestions. Please don't put personal information in the text you send. Repeat suggestions for the same oil are combined and counted, and suggestions may be kept, edited or deleted at our discretion.

Analytics and cookies

We use Google Analytics to see, in aggregate, how the site is used: which pages are visited, roughly where visitors come from, and what kind of device and browser they use. It's provided by Google and uses cookies. It is not given your recipes or anything you type into the calculator. Google handles the data it collects under its own privacy policy. You can stop it by blocking cookies in your browser, or by using Google's opt-out browser add-on.
