At times when you make soap commercially it can feel like it’s all work and no play. Part of this is because soap is a cosmetic product, so here in the UK it’s governed by the EU Cosmetics Directive. Every soap has to be cosmetically safety tested and commercial batches have to consistently use this approved formulation. There’s also a mountain of admin to track ingredients and batch references before the soap can even be presented for sale.
So today was fun! We ran one of our all day soap making courses and met up with 4 lovely “beginners”, to pass on our pearls of wisdom about how to make cold process soap. We love these days since it gives us a chance to share our passion for handmade soap and natural skincare ingredients. Today’s group asked some fantastic questions, and the class over-ran because we were covering so much ground. But it was lovely to have the chance to play again, and it’s resulted in some lovely new soap fragrances. To everyone who attended – it was a real pleasure to meet you all and we hope you had an enjoyable day!
There are now two places left on our April soap making class (Saturday 25th April), and then we’re fully booked. So if you fancy learning a new skill, visit our soap making page http://www.naturalsoapworks.co.uk/Classes.aspx for more details.
After this, our last soap making class of the year will be held at The Birmingham Botanical Gardens on Saturday 27th June. To join this larger class, you’ll need to enrol at the Gardens’ Reception during normal opening hours or enrol over the telephone on 0121 454 1860.
