Hello Soap-making enthusiasts! I know the feeling of wanting to make your own soap because I had been there and it was almost an obsession for me! I had a lot of requests to make this course available online and here it is, after months of toiling and perfecting every aspect of it, to make it a wonderful learning experience for you! So, without further ado, I welcome you to this Beginner’s Soap-making Course.
This is strictly for Beginners as the name suggests and will cover the basics of “Cold Process” Method of soap-making.
Before we go any further, I would like to mention that cold-process soap-making method involves usage of caustic soda, a chemical called Sodium Hydroxide, commonly called “Lye”. This is the chemical that converts the oils to soap. I am sure if you are here, you might already know this, but I just wanted to be “extra clear” to ensure you make the right choice before purchasing the course. All methods of “from scratch” soap making requires usage of Lye. In case, you haven’t heard this before, I suggest you learn more about it before you decide to buy the course. Though lye is caustic in nature and needs safe handling, you can use it perfectly well by following all the safety protocols that I have included in the course. I have been making soaps myself, for more than 3 years now.
So, if you are with me so far, then let’s quickly have a glance on what the course entails;
Each lesson will equip you with the information you need to start your soap-making journey. I have included everything you will need to make soap-making a breeze for you.
