Learn the basics of cold process soapmaking using simple, affordable ingredients—no experience needed.
In this free beginner soapmaking class, I’ll show you how to get started using simple, affordable ingredients you can find at the grocery store — while learning how soap actually works.
- You don’t need a shelf full of specialty oils to begin.
- You don’t need perfect technique.
- You just need a simple starting point — and a basic understanding of what’s happening in your pot.
Inside this class, you’ll learn how to safely make cold process soap, what tools you actually need (and what you don’t), and how to choose ingredients that make sense for beginners.
We’ll walk through three approachable recipes, each made with easily accessible ingredients:
- A traditional Castile soap
- My go-to testing recipe
- A tallow based soap
Along the way, I’ll show you how to start experimenting with your recipes so you can understand how different oils behave — not just follow instructions.
Because the goal here isn’t to copy a recipe.
It’s to learn how to make soap.
