This lively, beginner-friendly chat is the perfect way to dip your toes into the world of soap and salve making — no messy kitchen required! We won’t be making anything live together — instead, this is an educational and inspiring conversation designed to help you understand the "why" and "how" behind crafting your own natural skincare products. You’ll leave feeling confident and excited to try it on your own when the time is right.
We’ll walk through the basics of soap chemistry, how to safely work with ingredients, and how to select the best herbs, oils, and waxes for your needs. You’ll also discover how to craft healing herbal infusions, blend scents naturally, and troubleshoot common issues — all in a fun, low-pressure setting with plenty of space to ask questions and share ideas.
You’ll get a printable guide on using different oils and butters in soap and salves plus 10 beginner-friendly recipes to help you get started after the class — including those with and without goat’s milk, tallow, and lard, as well as herbal blends for skin soothing, deep moisture, and natural scent.
There will be plenty of time for questions, note-taking, and open discussion — so come as you are, bring your favorite drink, and get ready to soak up some practical, down-to-earth knowledge.
Perfect for beginners, homesteaders, makers, or anyone curious about natural, DIY skincare.
