Come join us in making beautiful soaps. Our class is for beginners and previous soap makers. Natural soaps are very gentle and don’t wash off all your natural oils. So you are refreshed and clean but your skin remains lubricated, protected and happy.
Whereas commercial soaps are often harsher having been made with recycled, heat-damaged oils it strips all the natural oils away, leaving your skin dry, itchy and unprotected.
They are beautiful personalised handcrafted gifts for family and friends, or sell them at the school fete as a fundraiser! The options are endless.
You will take home approximately 25 soaps for you to enjoy or give away as gifts.
