About this Event

Do you have super sensitive skin, love artisanal soap, or have a specific creation youd like to try out? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to make your own, customized soap in your own kitchen using ingredients you can actually pronounce? You're in the right place!

Many commercial soaps contain cheap perfume & synthetic detergents that can be harsh on sensitive skin and terrible for the environment. Come learn to make your own soap, customize it for your needs, and get all the details youll need to create all natural aromatheraputic bars. Plus, here at Seagrape we always add a little magic and ritual to our classes, so come curious!

All materials are provided for this class! Bring a notebook, pen, face mask and your magic.


Date: Friday, February 6th
Time: 2-5pm
Location: Seagrape Apothecary, 2823 NE Sandy Blvd. Portland, OR 97232

In this 3-hour workshop we will explore:

  • Safety of soapmaking
  • The basics of making cold process botanical soap
  • Blending our own essential oil scents for the bars
  • Ingredient benefits & methods of creating a bar of soap you can truly delight in
  • Infusing your soap with intention and magic!
