Lyemin is a Caribbean Soap Maker's Circle from Scents of Tobago. It is an environment where as Caribbean soapers, we encourage, inspire, support and learn from each other.  Lyemin stresses the use of the Caribbean experience to "colour" how we design and make our soaps. 

We aim to distinguish ourselves as soap makers with a unique and authentic voice. If you are a Caribbean soap maker and you are interested in exciting creativity, these are the benefits of Joining Lyemin. 

• Access to the Living Vault. The Vault is a growing resource library of recipes. New recipes are added every month. This vault already contains all the recipes I have written and you will gain access to all of them once you are a member. Note that recipes in The Vault cover soap making as well as Lotions, Body Butters, Body Scrubs, Shower Gels, Facial Products and Candle Making.  As the vault grows, you will gain access to all additional recipes as well.   New recipes will be added every month. Video tutorials included where relevant.

Caribbean inspired recipes will be the focus for 2026. The use of Caribbean ingredients and the incorporation of aspects of Caribbean culture in design and execution of projects. (an exciting time!). Return to the recipes in the long term without worrying about keeping up with anything or anyone.
