Industrial-produced soaps are often much like junk food, so why not produce your own and know what is in them? Learn about your skin type and create any soap you want, it is that easy!
Explore the industry and the meaning of its labels as well as how to produce your own products in a healthier way.
In this intimate class, you will learn how to make your own organic soap with ingredients and equipment that you (probably) already have in your kitchen. Your teacher will show you how to make soaps with pure natural materials with no artificial scents or additives. Note that you will learn how to use caustic soda safely, as it's an essential ingredient for soap-making.
With or without any experience you will learn the foundations of the cold process technique. You will be choosing your favourite natural essential oil and colours. You will learn how to add herbs, scents and other additives to your soaps. We will explore tips and tricks (troubleshooting) about ingredients and tecniqueto help you create your very own soap recipe.
Once you know the basics, you will be able to customise the recipes into your own signature soap for personal use, to gift, for-profit or just a fun activity with friends learning about what goes into making soap.
That's not all, you will also leave the class with two bars of soap (about 1.5 kilo) for you to enjoy and lots of notes with all the information you need to start making your own soap at home.
