Liquid Soap Making Class
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Soap Making Classes & More
(see times)
This class is for those who want to learn about the most versatile type of soap: liquid soap; it can be added to various recipes to make a variety of products: body wash, dish soap & more.
We'll cover how to make those products, as well as the following:
- the science behind soap making, saponification
- lye information & safety (read more below: "Safety First!")
- the materials and ingredients needed and where to get them
- how to formulate a soap recipe based on your needs (e.g. dry skin, sensitive skin), using a very handy online soap calculator
- making your soap, which includes a cooking phase, and what to do at home afterwards
Formulating a balanced recipe is the most important part of soap making, so my goal is for you to go home feeling very capable & comfortable with the intricacies of the soap calculator. Before making your soap, you'll be able to choose a recipe that is best for your skin type (e.g. more conditioning or bubbly). You'll take home about 28 fl oz. of liquid soap, customized with the essential oils of your choice, and your liquid soap will be ready for use after 24 hours. You'll also go home with 5 liquid soap recipes and a thorough, detailed instructional handout, including ingredients, lye info, recipes using liquid soap (e.g. body wash), materials/equipment & suppliers. Everything is provided in the class, as well as some snacks, coffee & tea.
Safely First! Since lye, KOH, is used in the Liquid Soap Making Class, you will be provided the best safety equipment for the class. A common question: is lye necessary for soap making? Yes! A base is needed with one hydroxide ion, so Potassium Hydroxide is used. But, don't worry, there is no lye in the final product due to the chemical reaction that takes place between the carrier oils and the lye, which is converted into salt! My goal is for you to understand what lye is, how to handle lye & to respect lye, not fear it! Come to class to learn more about lye, including its history & many other uses!
You must wear closed-toe shoes, a long-sleeved shirt and pants to this class.
This class is available for up to 4 people & offered as a private class or on Saturdays & Wednesdays. Please visit my website for more info: https://www.soapmakingclassesandmore.com.
