I have students from 13 years ago still working their way through the videos, asking questions, keeping in touch, sending pictures. It’s always great to hear from them and help them when they need it.
Soap making and self care product creation is such a great craft to learn.
Each of the videos comes with a recipe and information you’ll need to make the products. You can customize all of the products in these videos and make them your own.
With members from all over the world, there are so many ways you can change ingredients and make products from locally sourced ingredients.
I encourage you to use the videos and the recipes as a launch pad and create your own signature products.
See what our students are saying about us...
“I learnt to make cold process soap some years ago now but always had difficulty getting certain fragrances to stick & had many differing versions on the amount of water to use.
I actually only wanted to purchase the Hot process soap making, but ended up purchasing the full course instead.
So glad that I did, as I did not realise what a wealth of information was going to be available to me.
And for the first time in my life, I am happy with the outcome of my hot process soap which I had always avoided after trying it once or twice and never having had good results.
So far, I have made a Goats milk & lemon Myrtle Hot process and the Rooibos tea and Vanilla one.
They are just wonderful and were ready to use in a few days. I think I will now make many more of the HP soaps instead of the CP ones.
I am most impressed and the formula for finding the correct water amount is easily understandable, once I actually looked at the formula & worked it through. “

Soap making is not just my job, it’s my lifelong passion. Since I first started in 1997, I’ve been constantly pushing myself to experiment with new soap-making methods that challenge the status quo. My curiosity has led me to create unique, logical, and simplified techniques that are easy to understand and replicate. If I can’t find a better way to do something, I’ll invent one myself!
At Soap Making School, we pride ourselves on supporting sustainable practices. We advocate for palm oil-free soap making and even sponsor orphaned orangutans through the Orangutan Foundation International. When you join our community, you become part of a movement that cares about the environment and the world around us.
