The course focuses on explaining the cold process natural soaps, the methods of their preparation, the natural oil composition, the natural essential oils used, and the available natural colorants.
The course is concerned with the traditional art of handmade cold process soap making. You will learn the history behind soaps, how to work with and handle the sodium hydroxide (Lye, caustic soda, or NaOH), from where to purchase the ingredients, how to use the soap calculator to calculate the SAP values, different recipes for handmade natural soap prepared by the cold process method. Also, you will learn different design methods for preparing bars in different shapes and texture.
