Soap Making more info

Please read all the information to the end.

You'll make 3 kilos of beautiful, skin-loving natural cold-process soap (including goat milk soap), and you get to take it home for your own use, and to share with friends & family, who will love it. That's approximately thirty 100g bars of beautiful natural soap. 

Before you know it, you'll be soap making confidently all the time. In fact, you'll be relieved to discover just how easy it really is to make your very own soap recipes too. That way you can tailor your soap to everybody's needs.

You'll begin by making basic plain soap fragranced with essential oils, and from that very moment, you will have mastered the craft of cold-process soap making!  You'll then progress into learning coloured soap making with a marbled pattern like in our product picture, and finally you'll add botanicals, herbs and other natural components into your soap.

Making your own natural cold-process soaps is a lot of fun! You'll leave this fun workshop with all the skills and tips, and your very own soap making manual so you can repeat the process easily at home.  You can even purchase a kit on the day, because it's important to practice the skills you learn on the day soon after, so you don't forget any steps. You can always contact us for FREE follow up service.  Your instructors Andrew Dyer and Robin Imms were the co-owners of Planet Yum, and have been soaping for 15 years. They will generously share their years of knowledge and tips. They'll teach you everything from lye preparation through to oil selection, fragrances & essential oils, goat's milk soap making, tips and tricks for success, and the use of botanicals and about labelling laws.  They'll share the suppliers of the raw materials too, so you'll be able to purchase all the ingredients to continue your natural soap making journey.
