Soap Making Basics: The Beginner Mini Course

Want to learn how to make handmade soap but don’t know where to start?
This Beginner Mini Course teaches you the basics step-by-step so you can confidently create your first successful soap batch from home.

Inside the course, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know as a beginner—starting with the tools and supplies, simple safety rules, and how to properly measure and mix your ingredients so your batch comes out smooth and successful. You’ll learn how to bring your soap to trace, pour it into your mold the right way, and avoid the common beginner mistakes that cause soap to separate, crack, or not harden correctly.

You’ll also learn what to do after you pour, including how to cut clean bars and how to cure your soap properly so it becomes firm, long-lasting, and ready to use or sell. Curing is one of the most important steps, and I explain it clearly so you understand not only what to do—but why it matters.

You’ll also receive a beginner-friendly soap recipe included inside the course, so you can follow along step-by-step and make your first batch with confidence.

I’ve been making handmade soap in NYC for almost 10 years, and I’ve been in business since I was young—I started in high school and continued all through college, running three businesses at once while still staying consistent and learning what really works. This mini course is built from real experience, tested methods, and years of hands-on practice, so you don’t have to waste time guessing or feeling overwhelmed.

Whether you’re making soap for fun, for your family, or you want to eventually sell your own products, this course will give you the foundation to start the right way—simple, clear, and beginner-friendly.
