Have any of you been successful at making melt and pour soups? I'm new to soap making and am not necessarily thinking of selling for a profit but rather selling to raise money for my favorite shelter. I've only ever seen Cold Process hand made soaps being sold, so I'm not sure that this is a good idea.

For any of you who do sell, how much do you pay for liability insurance? I would rather be safe than sorry, even if it's for donation purposes.

Welcome!
Everyone should have liability insurance. It makes no difference whether you make MP or CP soap. TeachSoap has a blog post on insurance.

Just remember if you are selling any soap, you need to make sure you do your labeling correctly, i.e. listing each ingredient that is used by it's correct scientific name, in the order that you used them, and you will need to list your name, address also on your labels along with how much the item weighs, there are many books you can buy that will teach you the correct labeling process as the government requires. Even if you are donating your soaps you need to list all the ingredients on your label just incase someone is allergic to something in the soap. You don't want to get sued because you didn't disclose all the ingredients.

Just as long as it's a true soap like cold process soap, no ingredients are needed. MP soap is considered a cosmetic and you have to list all the ingredients.

You can get liability insurance for about $250/year for a $1 million policy through RLI (insuremyhomebiz.com) They have an earnings cap of $5000/year so it's great for folks just starting out.
