A guided course by Alison Fleck
Alison Fleck's first love is pastry-making and the pleasure of seeing people enjoy and savor her creations. She was trained by the experts at Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, and has always been a fan of DIY. She started to create her own cosmetic and household products and when she discovered soap making, became immediately fascinated by its huge creative scope. She decided to take it a step further and make it her profession.
In her soaps, she combines the generosity of oils with the richness of plants and the vitality of minerals. They are comprehensive skin care products that are particularly kind to the environment. Sold through her company Baba and varied over the course of different seasons, they are a delight to the senses.
