Essential oils are key to soap making. Not only do essential oils add a beautiful scent to your homemade bar soaps, but they also bring the wonderful properties that come with each oil such as calming, energizing or anti-ageing. But how do you use essential oils in soap making and how much is needed? What properties do lavender, frankincense and orange have? How do you avoid the skin irritation that can be caused by pure essential oil? It can be tricky trying to work out how much essential oil you need for your soap recipes and the information online is limited at best and confusing at worst. Participants will learn how to & make a bar soap with essential oils in class. Prior to this class, it is recommended (not required) to attend the "Introduction to Essential Oils" class if not previously attended. $20 per participant – cash only.

Purpose: Make and take home at least one product, essential oil information cards, and recipes presented in class as well as instructions on how to make them
