The Professional Membership is for individuals who make handcrafted soap and market it to the public. Benefits for Professional Members are geared toward those things that assist in promoting handcrafted soap, increasing proficiency in the trade, improving business skills, encouraging networking opportunities and providing general exposure for the member's business and products.

The Professional Membership normally includes product liability insurance, which is waived if the soapmaker already has comparable insurance coverage. Your membership will be processed, but the waiver process will need to be completed within 15 days. You will receive additional information on how to complete that when your membership is activated.
