■ SOAP RECIPE BUILDER WITH IN-BUILT SOAP CALCULATORS
SMF has the most comprehensive and intelligent liquid or bar soap recipe builder with all the necessary saponification soap calculators built in. When it comes to recipes you can:
● CREATE: Select between liquid or solid soap recipe; recipe units of measure; Amount of liquid in the recipe; Super Fat; Oil, Fats, and Waxes; Additives; and Fragrances. You can add notes for each soap with the in-built rich text editor.

■ MAKE BATCHES
After you’ve built your recipe, and entered your inventory (you can use our easy spreadsheet upload) you can create batches. Enter data such as Cure Time, Technique, Temperature and Humidity, Labor, and more, to get precise cost analysis for each batch such as batch cost, per unit costs, and sales.
■ TRACK INVENTORY & SUPPLIERS
Unlike soap recipe calculator apps, SMF offers soap calcs with inventory and supplier tracking so you can completely manage and track your business. Add suppliers with data such as Name, Invoice No, Purchase Date, Category, Product Name, and Order Size. Additionally, add and track custom ingredients, and supplies.
The inventory tracking, together with our batch maker, allows you to know what you have left on hand and the cost of your soap down to the bar or container.

Initiate your first candle check by clicking "Add New Test Day" in the "Test Burns" tab or locate your test on the home page and click "Start Test Day."
Light your candle, set the timer, and receive a device notification when the timer expires for a candle check.
After the timer expires, proceed to the "Notifications" tab and set up your next candle check.
If accessing the test from the notifications tab, click "Add Candle Check," complete all candle information, and upload another video (3-second limit) of the candle’s performance.
Reset your timer for the next check-in, and repeat steps 5 and 6 as needed for the day.
After the final candle check of the day, select "Complete Test Day" and extinguish your candle. View the complete test day in the "Test Burns" tab with the day's total burn time displayed.
If your candle underperforms, select "Fail Test" to automatically close the test and move it to the "Failed Tests" page.
If your candle performs well, continue with subsequent test days until 1/2" wax remains at the bottom of the candle.
If it meets your performance criteria, select "Pass Test" to finalize your test and transfer it from the tests in progress to the "Passed Test" page.
All tests are stored on the "Passed Test" or "Failed Test" page, where you can view all testing data, videos, and total burn time."Candle Checks" evaluate the candle’s performance during the test burn.USA Patent Pending
