Soap is the first line of defence that protects us from harmful germs. Have you considered making soap in the comfort of your home? The course introduces you to the classification of soaps, their main ingredients and various soap making methods like the cold and hot processes. We describe the supplies and tools you need to make soap and outline the safety guidelines that prevent accidents or injuries. We go through the factors to consider when choosing a product for your skin.
The course provides different tools and recipes you need to make soap and discusses how to set up a suitable environment at home. We explain how to make various soaps, including coco milk, shea butter and chunky Christmas soap. We also examine the recipes and benefits of glycerine soaps. The course compares the various colour options and explores the process of colouring your soaps to make them appealing. We discuss the types and purpose of soap moulds and show you how to use them to create a variety of shapes and sizes. We identify problems frequently encountered during soap making and explain how to solve them.
The course then examines the commercial side of soap making. We teach you how to write a business plan, determine the cost of starting a soap business and target consumers. We outline the benefits and challenges facing small soap making businesses. We explain how to add final touches like finishing, decorating and packaging soaps before comparing various selling techniques.
