For candle, home fragrance, soap & skincare makers
The complete workspace, built specifically for artisan makers.
Fern Dale Makers Studio brings product development, formulation, testing, batch records, ingredient management, stock, compliance, Product Information Files and documentation into one connected workspace.
One connected workflow — so nothing has to be entered twice, and every stage stays in step.
Built by a maker, for makers who want to do things properly.
"Slow craft, recorded well."
One Studio
Two specialist workspaces.
Different makers work in different ways. Fern Dale Makers Studio has purpose-built workflows for each — so nothing feels forced through a generic system.
Home fragrance
Candles, wax melts, diffusers & sprays
Develop candles, wax melts, reed diffusers and room sprays with dedicated formulations, burn testing, batch records, launch sign-off and a CLP-ready compliance workflow.
Cosmetics & soap
Skincare & cold / hot process soap
Create skincare formulations and cold or hot process soaps using the dedicated soap formulation workspace — integrated lye calculations, fatty acid analysis, performance profiling, Product Information Files and cosmetic batch records.

Each maker type has its own dedicated workflow — not one generic system asked to cover everything.

Meet the maker
Hi, I'm Kathryn — founder of Fern Dale Rituals and an award-winning maker two years running.
I've spent years creating home fragrance and skincare products for Fern Dale Rituals, carefully documenting every formula, batch and burn test.
Everything was always recorded… but never quite connected.
I wasn't looking for more templates. I wanted one place where every product, every test and every document lived together.
When I couldn't find it, I built it.
Fern Dale Makers Studio has been built from years of real-world experience running Fern Dale Rituals — designed by someone who genuinely makes products every day, not by software developers guessing how makers work.
Today it's the system I use to run my own business, and I'm delighted to finally share it with other makers.
More than software
A place to grow as a maker.
Fern Dale Makers Studio also contains growing learning resources to help you become more knowledgeable and confident in your craft and your business.
Your data stays yours.
Fern Dale Makers Studio is not a closed system. Every record you create — formulations, batches, testing notes and documentation — can be exported, so you always retain ownership of your information.
You're never locked in. You're supported.
A beautifully crafted workspace, built specifically for artisan makers.
Designed to support the way makers actually work — not how software thinks they should.
