Testimonials
"I’ve always wanted to learn how to make soap, but I’ve been terrified of using the chemicals. Your course has taken away that fear as you guide me through the process. It’s not nearly as scary as I imagined. The videos are so clear, and it’s just like watching over your shoulder in one of your in-person workshops. I’m so thrilled with this course. Thank you!!"

"I made two batches of this recipe the other night, and my soap turned out great. Lye actually cooled too quick for me, lol, which is a change. I don't think ill go back to freezing my goat's milk again. So good to not be waiting half the night for temperatures."
