Class Introduction
I have been making soap since I was 16 years old. In fact over that time period I've made tens of thousands of pounds of soap. And along the way I also learned how to make things like bath fizzies, lotions, scrubs and more. And I'm excited today to spend the entire day delving into everything around the science of soap making, talking about why we use certain ingredients, making soap on camera and then also working on scrubs, three different types of scrubs. And lotions, how to make your own lotions and how to make shaving soap and whipped body butters. It's gonna be a jam packed class and I hope you'll stick around because there are a lot of different techniques and tricks that I'm going to be showing you.

Anne-Marie was a very thorough and thoughtful instructor. Her knowledge and enthusiasm were inspiring. She had everything organized and presented it in a very comprehensive sequential order. GREAT class as I never knew anything about soap/lotions/scrubs/balms/etc. I'd recommend purchasing the class!
