It gave me the foundation I needed to start selling my soap, all in one place!
When I first became interested in making homemade soap I searched the Internet and quickly got overwhelmed with information. There was just to much information to sift through. Then I found Soap Making School. I am so very glad I completed it because I learned everything I needed to know about soap plus many more products.
It gave me the foundation I needed to start selling my soap, all in one place!

If you’re not sure if you’d benefit from this online school or not, trust me, you will.
I’ve become a confident soapmaker thanks to Soap Making School. But really the best thing is that Rene is right there if you have any questions.
And being able to access the videos online whenever I need to has been great. If you’re not sure if you’d benefit from this online school or not, trust me, you will.
I looked for a long time before I purchased the program and I’m so glad I did. Rene is a careful instructor who always keeps safety at the top of the list.
Here’s a picture of a couple of kinds of soap that I made using oil infusions.
Happy Soaping!

Rene had everything broken down into easy and straightforward components
I went into this class not knowing what to expect or what would happen.
Rene had everything broken down into easy and straightforward components.
If that was not good enough she had a DVD with a step-by-step process so we could do it when we left the class.
I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of going.
I went to the class and when I went home, my friend wanted to make a batch.
So, we made one and she thought it was so neat just to see how it gets made and all the natural ingredients that were used.

I absolutely love the video classes, they are very thorough and I can access them at any time.
I think a lot of who we are stems from where we came. The struggles in life are not obstacles but opportunities.
I am on a journey to improve my life and help others to improve theirs. This has been my goal probably all of my life. I teach nursing students and work per diem in a local ICU as an RN. My new passion however is making natural & healthy products with the guidance and teaching provided by Rene at Soap Making School.
My children, husband, sister, mother all love the products that I have made & now have new friends taking an interest in my healthy products. I was naive as to the chemicals present in my body products, thinking they were safe…I now know differently.
I have learned a lot about the differences between detergent and soap & am more conscious of the marketing techniques used to appeal to the average consumer. I am most proud (and encourage) use of essential oils in my products. Even my candles. I appreciate the detail provided that explains the benefits of various essential oils that not only smell great but have many positive effects on and in the body in a way no fragrance oil ever could.
I absolutely love the video classes, they are very thorough and I can access them at any time. When people ask me where I learned to make such wonderful products, I am very proud to tell them I learned from Rene through her classes at soap making school. Her classes are life changing and well worth the invested time.
It doesn’t matter who you are or what your background is…if your interested in making your own products to improve your body, mind, and spirit…then I would recommend becoming part of the soap making school family. I love it! Thank You Rene,
Tammy, Vancouver

So many questions were answered just watching your videos. And what questions remained, you quickly answered via emails.
I originally tried to learn how to make soap by reading books, watching videos on
YouTube, and joining free online classes and forums. But I had so many questions
with no way of getting them answered using only these sources.
So I searched online for an interactive school and decided on yours. And boy am I glad I did.
My first impression was: WOW!!! So many questions were answered just watching your videos
and reading your guides. And what questions remained, you quickly answered via emails.
And now with the Soap Forum up and running I find myself learning from the questions other students are asking.
The content of your school and the quality of your video classes, blog, and forum are top notch.
I am continually amazed at how much time you are willing to give to your students and how much
of your trade secrets you are willing to pass along to us.
You are awesome and I can’t say enough good about you and your school.
I am so happy I joined it and became one of your students.
Thank you Rene,
Lynne Dubois – USA
I have learnt that soap making can be safe, healthy and wholesome, and creative fun!
I have “learnt” how to make natural soap (emphasis on learnt), both liquid and bar. From the different liquid soaps, I have made shampoo, bath gel and natural laundry soap. The bar soap is so great for bathing! I have also made facial serum, cold cream and lip balm. I will be making the others as soon as I lay hands on the ingredients. And the packaging styles I learnt from your video are so beautiful!
I have learnt that soap making can be safe, healthy and wholesome, and creative fun! I would love to recommend your soap making school to others here in Nigeria.
Thank you so much, for the privilege to be your student!

I am sooooo happy that I found your classes, simple, clear and a back up support so friendly.

but it was so not clear I couldn’t use it, even I was facing skin challenges with my children.

Her enthusiasm and love of the craft shines through and makes all the difference.
I took a soap making course with Rene in 2008 and consider myself very lucky to have found and to know a teacher like her.
Rene is an incredibly insightful soap crafter and educator.
Her attention to detail and organizational skills made everything so uncomplicated and really fun.
What really impressed me most about Rene (and still impresses me to this day)
is her motivation to follow up with her students and her willingness to share her experiences with you.
Her enthusiasm and love of the craft shines through and makes all the difference.
Soap making has brought such positive energy into my life and I hope that it will bring the same to you.

You don’t leave students out on a limb and the answers you provide are never vague.
The thing I really enjoy about the Soap making School is the fact that you are never to busy to answer

I’m a visual learner so the Soap Making School has been perfect for me.
It helped me develop a high level of confidence in my abilities as a soap maker.
The information is organized by classes which build upon skills learned in previous classes.
When I first started out I would use the videos while I was making a batch of soap so
I could make sure I was doing everything right.
This self-paced program is perfect for a busy life.
Katie Bennett – Hawaii
This soap making course is money well invested.
I would recommend this course to anyone who is serious about making bath and body products.
I was able to figure out an issue I was having with my soapmaking after the first and second lessons!
Rene is great in that she will answer any questions you email promptly.
This soapmaking course is money well invested.

Rene sets it all up perfectly so they we learn each area in a certain method, so we grow with each lesson.
I have learned in only a week more then I have in about 5 years of making soap with…..Hot-Process Soap Making School with Rene. Rene sets it all up perfectly so they we learn each area in a certain method, so we grow with each lesson. We need to know and understand certain elements to go on to another aspect of not just soap making but learning and completely understanding why and the what I’d all we are creating. Best decision I have ever made. Never really understood the process of the recipes ands ratios of butters and oils and SAP values but no more. Rene really explains it and fixes us worksheets for all of it. AMAZING school. Thank you Rene, best school ever.

Thank you for giving me the confidence to grow my soap making skills a step at a time
You taught me all about soap making 2 years ago and I am pretty sure I’ve written to let you know how grateful I am to you for all of your classes.
You started out with such a simple recipe where I felt a sense of accomplishment after having followed your steps and created a beautiful bar of soap.
I love the consideration you take in sourcing your ingredients and the care you take in every detail, from creating our own soap molds to wrapping each bar.
Thank you for giving me the confidence to grow my soap making skills a step at a time and for allowing me to go back into the lessons and revisit them again and again.
You’re the greatest!

Impressive knowledge and understanding of the world of soap.
The class was delightful, impressive knowledge and understanding of the world of soap.
I was also impressed by the use of all ethically sourced materials, it makes a huge difference to know how much Rene cares about all aspects of the products she makes and inspires us to make.
Yana Landowne – Brooklyn, NY
The soap I made turned out really well, smells amazing and makes my skin feel great.
I am so glad a took a soap making class with Rene. Making soap making will now be a fun rewarding hobby I think I will continue to do for many years. The soap I made turned out really well, smells amazing and makes my skin feel great. I originally intended to give the soap I made as gifts but loved it so much I used most of it myself. I have very dry skin and have always needed to moisturize after a shower until I switched to using natural hand made soap. I will never go back to commercial bar soaps.
Since taking the class I have been able to make more of my soap for gifts and try new recipes because of the easy to follow take home instructions provided at the end of class. I look forward to taking more classes with Rene and learning more about making bath products.
Theresa – Vancouver, Canada
