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.
