I have created this class to teach you how to confidently formulate and make your own natural soap step by step.
I am currently offering this workshop either live on Koh Phangan, Thailand or online via Zoom 1-1 or in small groups of maximum 3 people.
Timing
The course and the soap making itself will take up about 3 hours, but best if no one has to rush somewhere afterwards, as we might finish earlier or later, depending on how we progress.
What you will learn?
- Safety guidelines
- How to calculate confidently the recipe of your soap
- To make a basic soap batch of your own design
