Herbal Soap Making as Intuitive Practice

Do you have super sensitive skin, love artisanal soap, or have a specific creation youd like to try out? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to make your own, customized soap in your own kitchen using ingredients you can actually pronounce? You're in the right place!

Many commercial soaps contain cheap perfume & synthetic detergents that can be harsh on sensitive skin and terrible for the environment. Come learn to make your own soap, customize it for your needs, and get all the details youll need to create all natural aromatheraputic bars. Plus, here at Seagrape we always add a little magic and ritual to our classes, so come curious!

All materials are provided for this class! Bring a notebook, pen, face mask and your magic.
