This workshop, 2 hrs long, will allow you to learn how to make your own organic soap according to the cold saponification method. This artisanal manufacturing technique maintains the properties of the vegetable oils and essential oils used. Cold saponification is the chemical reaction between fatty substances, such as vegetable oils and caustic soda, which then produces soap and glycerin. The resulting soaps are, therefore naturally rich in fat and very gentle on the skin.
