I know that just because you read my blog doesn’t mean you’ve made cold process soap before. In fact, I know many of my readers have never made soap and given how much I love it, I wanted to find an easy way for you to start. I want you to learn how to make soap (!).
Now this may sound crazy, but the truth is, cold process soapmaking is easier than melt & pour. It’s true! Once you get past the fear of using lye (it’s just like driving a car – you need to take basic safety precautions) you’ll find that making cold process soap gives you more time to work on the design and a final bar of soap that lasts longer. Making and using handmade soap is a great way to eliminate harsh chemicals from your shower. The new Natural Soap Kit for Beginners was designed for the first time soapmaker in mind, but I think experienced soapmakers will love it too. The kit includes 100% pure essential oils, natural botanicals, basic soapmaking tools and a reusable mold.
From mixing your oils to labeling your bars, this kit will walk you through every step of the soapmaking process. The kit includes printed instructions, lye safety information and an exclusive how-to video that I made just for this kit. To keep the price of the kit down it doesn’t include all of the tools; you need to supply a stick blender, distilled water and a mixing bowl, but I was able to get a small digital scale in the kit. Below are the basics that come with kit and then I want to tell you about the essential oils I’ve chosen to highlight in each option:
I almost forgot! Each kit also includes FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the lower 48 United States. Free shipping applies to the kit only. If additional items are added to your order, those items are subject to normal shipping rates. The kit will be sent in a separate box from other items in the order.
Additional Instruction & Materials included:
- Step-by-Step Instructions
- Lye Safety Guide
- Guide to Common Soapmaking Oils
- Bar Soap Labels that follow FDA rules
- Exclusive Online Instructional Videos made just for this kit
Shown above are the contents of the Natural Soap Kit for Beginners in Relaxing Lavender.
Once you purchase the kit, you will have access to an exclusive page featuring 10 soapmaking videos to get you started. First is the video I made with my friend Courtney, where I show her how to make the soap in the kit. We had so much fun, I think you might see her pop-up in more of our videos! Several of the videos show you how to specifically create the soap in the kit, while some go over more general soapmaking knowledge important for the beginner and a great reminder for the experienced soaper.
You can choose from three different pure essential oil kit options: Energizing Orange, Refreshing Lemongrass and Relaxing Lavender.
