Soap is a staple, everyday item, but do we really understand how it’s made and how it works? Let alone how to make good choice about what soap to use – for our skin and for the environment?
In this hands-on class you’ll learn all about the natural chemical reaction that creates soap, what to look for when buying soap, and how to make your own melt & pour soap!
We’ll all make our own soap bars customising them to suit our skin and needs. Need exfoliation? Add loofa! Need hydration? Add oats! Soap bars are also much more eco-friendly as they have no packaging.
This workshop is suitable for vegans.
