Description
The melt and pour method is the perfect technique to have fun creating without necessarily spending a fortune on tools and ingredients. It is a soap-making technique that does not require much time but that, nevertheless, allows you to create beautiful soaps that you can use at home or give as gifts for any special occasion.
How to create soaps with the melt and pour method will no longer be something unknown. In this course, I have included the most important information that you should know when approaching the technique of melt and pour. A quick overview of its main features and what differentiates it from other soap-making techniques.
A look at the ingredients of soap bases from a chemical perspective will help you choose them carefully depending on the soaps you want to make.
Furthermore, in the course, you will see what ingredients and tools are needed for this technique. To show that this method of soap making is suitable for anyone and that to express our creativity we do not need special and expensive tools, I wanted to make the entire course in my kitchen and using only tools I already owned.
With a tutorial aimed at explaining each step of preparation, you will see how to make three types of soap with gradually increasing levels of difficulty.
Have fun creating your own soaps at home. Can't wait to see them!

Hi, I'm Gabi. I'm a doctor in chemistry and content creator. Thanks to my scientific knowledge I became passionate about self-producing of homemade products. Since five years, I started to make my own soaps, skincare products, candles and much more. I used my knowledge of chemistry to go deeper into every subject and I discovered how fun and rewarding this hobby is. I decided to share what I learned with simple courses that explain what is behind the use of each ingredient and procedure used.
