Liquid Soap & Shower Gel Class - June 25

Make your own luscious organic liquid soaps and shower gels using the hot process method and two kinds of lye! If you don't know what hot process is, or lye, no worries we have you covered. In this class, students will learn to make versatile recipes for sink, shower and bath. If you're making them for yourself, you'll save money by making your own liquid soaps and reduce the use of plastics. If you're making to sell, you're hitting a lucrative market as liquid soaps outsell bar soaps and don't require any cure time.

In this fun class we will make one batch of shower gel from scratch using easily sourced ingredients that attendees can replicate at home. Students will learn how to incorporate specialty ingredients such as botanicals and more, and take home samples of the shower gel made in class.
Liquid soaps and shower gels are a great addition to a product line or to make at home for yourself and friends. Save money by making your own liquid soaps, or make money by adding them to your product lineup.
Discussion includes:

• Infusing herbs
• Incorporating colors
• Where to source ingredients
