Description
From the comfort of your own home, learn to make 2 different types of hot process soaps, cream and liquid soap. Since COVID19, many of my favorite soap supply stores have discontinued classes due to lack of staff. Even before COVID19 few taught people how to make cream soaps. When soap making classes are available they cost about $100 per class.
Sharing knowledge is a true passion among soap makers. People such as Catherine Failor who inspired this course have used their interest in soap to enhance their chemistry skills. We will make liquid and cream soap based on Catherine Failor’s books, Making Natural Liquid Soaps and Making Cream Soap. As someone with a chemistry degree, I enjoyed her work and the care she put into crafting her recipes and explanations. I added my own introductory science discussion in hopes that more people, especially young women will explore careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.
With this course you will:
Have a unique opportunity to experiment with different types of soap
Make great soap that is lovely to use and easy market
Gain confidence to work safely with sodium and potassium hydroxide
Understand a bit more about basic chemical processes in soap making
Acquire references to expand your knowledge of soap
Support my efforts to make science more accessible for youth
Thank you to the Udemy community for giving me the confidence to explore my love for creating great cosmetics. Without your support from taking my first class Learn to Make Cosmetics that I recorded in 2012 and your reviews, I would not have tried again. I will always be grateful to everyone who reminded me about my love for science education and in a post pandemic world supporting young people as they start to explore their interests.
