Soap Making: The Old Fashioned Way
Course Overview
Soap—so simple, yet so misunderstood. Have you ever pondered the ingredients contained in a typical bar of soap? Petroleum distillates, sulfates, and many other unpronounceable additives. Using the same ingredients Grandma used, animal fat and lye, learn how to make gentle, natural soaps, and explore the history and science of this cleanser. You’ll leave with at least two varieties of handmade soap, information and resources, and plenty of experience to make soap at home.
