Liquid soaps in all their various forms outsell bar soaps 8:1

Soap School offer two different courses in liquid soap making, the Mild Surfactants and the Liquid & Cream Soap Course. So what is the difference and which is right for you?
 


If you are looking to learn how to make the type of product you buy in the shops, such as a hand soap with a pump bottle, body washes and shower gels or even bubble baths, then our Mild Surfactants Course is the class for you! 


If however you prefer to make everything from the raw oils using totally natural ingredients and are prepared to take a longer time making the product, then you might prefer the liquid and cream soap making course that we offer.
 


On the mild surfactants course we will only be using very mild surfactants for their gentle cleansing effects. We will NOT be using any SLS or SLES.

The beauty of making surfactants over a true liquid soap is they are very fast to make. 
 
In addition, they can be made in bulk or in small batches efficiently and very cost effectively making it ideal for those with an existing business where they are looking to add liquid soaps to the range but where time is a limited commodity. 
 


No prior knowledge is required to attend this course and you will not require any specialist equipment.

Testimonials

“In such a short period we learn a tremendous amount of techniques that were easy to understand and put over in a non scientific way to aid understanding and comprehension. The course certainly motivates delegates a well as fully equipping them with the knowledge to get started immediately.  A highly recommended programme.
