Lather 101: Bar and Liquid Soapmaking

Join Serena Bartlett to learn the cold process method for making soap. You'll learn about the different types of bar soaps, how to balance your fats and alkalines with solid ratios, attributes of different plant oils, and fun things to add for various benefits like exfoliation or extra moisturizing. Then we'll walk through the process of making a batch of soap. We'll see how to turn these bar soaps into liquid hand soap or shower gel, and you'll go home with samples and a cool recipe zine.
