What to know before you choose

A four-hour flow with enough structure to help you relax.

Begin with safety, make the cold process batch, pause for snacks and questions, then make the hot process batch. Timing may shift as the soap changes.

  • Welcome and safety

    Review protective clothing and talk through the chemistry.

  • Make both methods

    Measure, mix, observe the changes, and finish each batch.

  • Take-home learning

    Leave with an ebook, recipes, and the soap you made together.

Inside the VIP Day

The day is designed to replace scattered information with an ordered process you can repeat.
