Does any of this sound familiar?
If so... Live Soap School is for You!
-
You want to make handcrafted natural soap, but don’t know where to start or how to use a soap calculator…
-
You’ve spent countless hours watching YouTube Tutorials, reading blogs and books, and you just don’t get it…
-
Your nervous about using lye, and you’re not comfortable doing it on your own…
That's WHY I created Live Soap School
A fun environment where beginners could come and be supported!
I was fed up with stories about people wanting to start and being let down in their soaping journey thanks to:
Recipes found online that just didn’t work, Gurus who promise the world but deliver very little , Extremely advanced techniques and tutorials that make normal people feel incapable of getting started and expensive and often unneccessary ingredients, additives and molds that waste time and money.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is it called Live Soap School?
Our program started through Live Streaming. Zakia taught women and men from around the world how to make soap LIVE on Twitter and Facebook live streams. This method of training delivery was very effective for students so we kept it in our name and our program.
-
Is this course all theory?
Absolutely NOT! You will be making your own soap within the first few modules of the program. Our program begins with basic foundation, equipment and ingredients and then we move right into making soap.
-
What if I'm not good at math or science, will I be able to make soap?
While soapmaking is a bit of chemistry we take the mystery out of it. In fact there are several online resources that will take care of all of the chemistry for you. WE teach you how to use these tools in a very easy way.
-
Will you provide recipes?
We provide recipes for each product we teach however we also believe that every student must know how to formulate their own recipes, so formulation is taught with each bath product so you can make each one your own.
