Create soap recipes totally unique to YOU!
While following other people's recipes is perfect when you're just starting out, there are limitations: You're stuck using the ingredients they chose and making the batch size they devised.
Learning how to formulate yourself opens up an entirely new world to your soap making:
- Use only the ingredients you choose. Allergic to an oil? Leave it out! Love a specific oil? Add it in!
- Make the size batch you need, from tiny 1-pounders to massive 20-pound batches and everything in between.
- Craft a soap that is perfect for you and your family. Need a soap that is extra-moisturizing for dry skin? Coconut or palm-free? Vegan? Tallow-based? Whatever you need, you can create it.
- Develop a recipe not found anywhere else. When you formulate, you are developing a soap that is unique to you. This is a game-changer if you are a seller! You can create a soap recipe no one else has, to bring your customers back to you time and again.
Leave formulation confusion and intimidation behind--this course will take you from beginner to confident soap formulator in no time.
