Guided Course: Learn to create handmade soaps from scratch
A guided course by Mar Amoli , Natural Cosmetics Brand
Learn to make artisanal soap from scratch using cold process saponification techniques and creative design
Discover the fascinating world of artisanal soap making and learn to create your own soaps from scratch. Delve into the cold process method, starting by gathering the essential tools and applying safety measures for handling ingredients like caustic soda. Learn how to formulate custom recipes by adjusting oils and additives to achieve the desired texture, cleansing properties, and appearance. The adventure begins with creating a simple soap, learning to mix, pour, and pour the mixture into molds.
Transform your soap-making skills by applying design techniques to create more complex soaps with layers or decorative elements. After the creation process, cut, cure, and properly store your creations to ensure optimal results. By the end, you'll have not only two finished soaps—one basic and one with a custom design—but also the tools and knowledge to continue experimenting and creating your own unique formulas. Immerse yourself in this creative journey and take your creativity to the next level with soaps that reflect your personal style.
