The Experience
You use soap every single day. Do you actually know what's in it? Most bars sold today are legally not soap at all — wartime shortages pushed the industry toward synthetic detergents, and what you buy off a shelf is usually a "cleansing bar."
In this workshop, you'll make it the traditional way. Plant oils and an alkali, nothing else. You'll weigh, combine, and bring a batch to trace, then make it entirely yours with your own botanical, essential oil, and natural colourant.
I came to this through my own skin — sensitive, and never quite settled, until I learned to make soap myself. I never looked back.
