Class description

Are you interested in natural cosmetics and would like to make the world a more sustainable place? Then our natural cosmetics workshop in Berlin is just the thing for you. Here you will learn how to make your own soap. 

 

What is the process?

  • We start by choosing your favorite fragrance and the matching plant colors, herbs, flowers and other nourishing additives according to your wishes
  • In a short theoretical introduction, I explain how soap is produced during saponification, what properties the processed vegetable oils have for skin care, foaming power and soap quality
  • and what you have to consider when handling the necessary caustic soda
  • Then it's straight to practical soap making: the raw materials are weighed and heated
  • I'll show you the safe method of working with caustic soda and use the mixer
  • From here on, everyone designs their own soap according to their wishes
  • Finally, the soap is filled into molds that you can take home right away
  • I am happy to answer all your questions about raw materials, sources of supply, packaging ideas, skin care or allergies

 

Who is the course suitable for?

The soap course is suitable for anyone who is interested in natural cosmetics and would like to take part in a natural cosmetics workshop themselves. You don't need any previous knowledge for that. We'll show you all the basics you need. 

 

What is included?

  • Professional guidance and assistance during the course
  • Your own 1kg soap
