Description

This course introduces you to the wonderful world of skin care. You’ll be able to make both lotions and creams to suit your personal needs.

If you get stuck, need more information or want to post a question or comment, you’ll find a students only conversation on the bottom of every page in the course. I’ll personally answer your questions.

We will work with thickeners, emulsifiers, emollients, preservatives, hydrosols and special ingredients that can make your formula extra unique.

Whether it’s for yourself, or a special person including the babies in your life, you will never need to buy another chemical filled “natural” cream or lotion again.

You will know every ingredient that is going into your creation and you will know why it is in there.

A good lotion can change your skin for the better.

All the ingredients we use are natural and have a specific purpose for your lotion! 

Lip balm made without petroleum ingredients are difficult to find. You will be making your very own with natural ingredients. You can choose from either vegan wax or beeswax.

The foot balm is extra soothing and skin softening. You can choose essential oils that are perfect for fighting fungus and bacteria.

Vegan Lip Balm

Though bees wax is a very popular wax to use in
lip balm, it is not a vegan product since
it comes from bees.

Meet The Teacher

Hi, I’m Rene Whitlock!

I’m the founder of Soap Making School, but my passion extends far beyond soap. Over the past 27 years, I’ve developed a deep love for creating natural skincare products like lotions, butters, and balms. Through years of experimentation and refining techniques, I’ve discovered what works best for nourishing and protecting the skin, using simple, effective ingredients.

Teaching has been a huge part of my journey, and I’ve had the privilege of sharing my knowledge with students in person and online for more than two decades. My goal is always to simplify the process and make it accessible for everyone—whether you’re just starting out or looking to enhance your skills.

In this course, I’ll show you how to create beautiful, nourishing skincare products that you’ll love to use and share. I’m excited to guide you every step of the way!

Hope to see you in class!
