The Benefits Of Making Your Own Soap

At Clover Brooke Farm, we find fulfillment in empowering people to control the kinds of substances they introduce to their bodies with our soap-making class. Aside from teaching students a new skill, our graduates experience even more benefits of making their own soap.

All Natural

Our soap-making courses will show you that when you create your own soap, you can avoid synthetic chemicals like parabens and learn the right ingredient portions to infuse your soaps.

You Have Control Over The Ingredients

Commercially made soaps can sometimes include harsh chemicals that cause more harm than good over time. Finding soaps that don’t irritate your sensitive skin can be challenging. Making your own soaps gives you the ability to create soaps that are formulated specifically for your skin.

The Benefits Of Using Natural Oils

Soap making includes using base oils. Using certain natural oils like coconut and olive pomace oils has natural benefits. They’re also very gentle in the right proportions, decreasing the risk of skin problems from extended use. All of our soaps are vegan, responsibly made right at the farm.

They Make Fantastic Presents

Everyone needs soap. You’re welcome.

All jokes aside, a handcrafted soap you’ve taken the time to curate for someone means way more to them than a store-bought commercial brand. You also have peace of mind knowing they’re using a natural product that’s good for them.

Create Your Own Creative Outlet

Soap making is equally as scientific as it is an artistic activity. Cold process soap making allows you to create different patterns and mix colors and hues. People often say soap making is a relaxing process where people are most creative.

Starting your own company

When you’ve mastered soap-making courses, you’ll have a new skill that opens the door to many business opportunities. Soap-making is a very profitable niche.

The Ingredients Are In Your Pantry

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to make your own soap bar in the comfort of your kitchen. Just follow our step-by-step guide to the classic cold process technique of soap-making using all-natural items in your pantry.

We’ll get into our basic soap recipes and talk about everything from setting up a soap-making station to using the right tools and being careful around sodium hydroxide-lye, the critical ingredient in soap making.

In this practical class, you’ll learn about the benefits of making soap from scratch using traditional plant oils (no palm oil). These leave your skin feeling soft and looking radiant. Soaps with harsh detergents, which may dry out the skin and create inflammation, are out.

A Rewarding Experience In A Supportive Community

Making soap from scratch is a rewarding experience for everyone, even if you have no previous experience in the art. You’re welcome to participate actively in a supportive learning community. Making soap is a pastime like any other; you may easily spend a lot of money on it (don’t say we didn’t warn you).

In comparison, the cost for this session includes everything you need to make your first batch of soap, including a starter kit. In this lesson, you will learn how to make soap using only a few necessities; a 42-ounce silicone soap loaf mold, a wooden box with a wooden top, a mixing bowl, a spatula, measuring cups, a soap cutter, and other supplies. Additionally, there will be pages of recipes, helpful hints, and instructions for making one-of-a-kind presents for loved ones.
