(Don’t know what trace is? This video will help!) It can be hard to recognize when your soap is fully mixed, this detailed video will show you the detailed process. I’ll also discuss temperature and how that affects your soap.

Here’s what a few of my fellow Soapmakers had to say about why they started Soapmaking:

• The ingredients in commercial soap can cause irritation, inflammation and troubling allergic reactions. Learning to make soap provides you the freedom to use ingredients that work for your family’s specific needs, providing soothing relief for a variety of skin types.
• Soapmaking can become an engaging craft or hobby that provides enrichment and joy.
• By using a variety of techniques, ingredients and colors, soapmaking is an art medium that does more than simply provide a creative outlet. It produces skin soothing soap that delights the senses.
• The soapmaking process provides a therapeutic outlet for managing depression and anxiety.
• Natural handcrafted soap is the perfect gift for birthdays, holidays, wedding and baby showers, and basically any gift-giving opportunity!
• Soapmaking provides a creative outlet that can double as a business or side hustle.

This course will have you making the perfect natural soap in no time!

“I’ve watched soooo many YouTube tutorials on making soap but I wasn’t quite confident enough. It’s like the videos on YouTube gave me some info, but not ALL the info. I took Amanda’s course and I made my first batch of soap over Thanksgiving! It came out great!” – Leslie V.

“Working with lye scared me so much that I’ve been putting off making soap for several months! After watching this series I was able to do it! Now I’m addicted and can’t stop ordering supplies!” – Rebecca C.
