Learn the basics of cold-process soap making. Cold process soap making is the old-fashioned process that combines sodium hydroxide (lye) with fats and oils, and creates a soap that cleans and softens skin due to the glycerin produced and retained in the soap. This introductory class covers ingredients, safety procedures and basic formulation and production. Learn to make soap the way your great grandparents would have if they had access to modern conveniences.
