You will also learn how to use a wide range of herb and natural botanicals effectively in your soaps.



There is no prior experience required, just a willingness to experience the joy of creating your own soaps from scratch. Learn in a hands on environment in small friendly groups. A full handout and recipe sheets are also supplied as well as useful top tips plus free soapmaking resource information.

Testimonials

“In such a short period we learn a tremendous amount of techniques that were easy to understand and put over in a non scientific way to aid understanding and comprehension. The course certainly motivates delegates a well as fully equipping them with the knowledge to get started immediately.  A highly recommended programme.
