Supplies & Ingredients

Having the right supplies and ingredients makes DIY projects simpler, safer, and far more enjoyable. In this section, you’ll find guides, ingredient explainers, and practical recommendations to help you choose what you need for making skincare, soap, hair care, bath products, candles, and crafts at home.

I’ve shared what I personally use and recommend, focusing on reliable basics rather than overwhelming lists. To make things easier, I’ve also put together an Amazon ingredients storefront where you can find many of the oils, butters, waxes, and tools used across Savvy Homemade recipes, all in one place. It’s there as a convenience if you’d like a simple starting point.

Whether you’re stocking up for your first project or replacing a well-used ingredient, this section is here to help you feel confident about what you’re buying and why.
