Welcome to our Cold Process Soap Workshop—an experience that merges creativity, nature, and skincare. Together, we’ll create natural, handcrafted soap using raw and nourishing ingredients, while learning the art and science behind cold process soap-making. This workshop is perfect for anyone seeking a meaningful connection to their skincare and a deeper understanding of raw beauty rituals.
Workshop Overview + What You’ll Learn
• The fundamentals of cold process soap-making, including the unique benefits it offers for the skin and the environment.
• The properties of natural clays, essential oils, and botanicals, and how they can elevate your soap-making experience and skincare rituals.
• Step-by-step guidance in creating a custom soap that reflects your personal style and skincare needs.
What’s Included
• Hands-on experience: Formulate your own custom 10oz loaf of soap, tailored with your choice of clays, essential oils, and botanicals of your choice.
• Educational booklet: Take home a curated guide filled with:
• The benefits of cold process soap
• Information on essential oils, clays, and botanicals used in your soap
• Instructions on curing, cutting, and storing your finished soap

Workshop Itinerary
1. Introduction
We’ll start with a short introduction to cold process soap, the importance of natural ingredients, and why this method is better for your skin and the planet.
2. Demonstration
I’ll prepare the soap base by mixing lye and oils, explaining each step of the process. This is the foundation of cold process soap, where the magic of saponification begins.
3. Personalization
Once the base is ready, I'll pour your soap into your mold and it’s your turn! You’ll customize your soap by choosing clays, essential oils, and botanicals to suit your preferences and skin needs. This is where creativity merges with raw beauty.
4. Pouring and Setting
You’ll leave with 10oz’s of your custom soap to unmold and cut at home after 2-3 days. Once cut, your soap will need to cure for 6 weeks in a dry, airy space.
5. Wrap-Up
We’ll close the workshop with time for questions and sharing ideas. Everyone will receive their educational booklet to continue learning at home.
