She will take you through the traditional cold process soap, step by step, and you’ll leave with 8 luxury palm-oil free soaps you have made from scratch.
“Had a lovely few hours learning about making soap from Paula. Everything was explained very clearly with a set of notes you can take away, and it was great fun. I’m so happy to know how to make some fab smelling soap for gifts and presents. Everyone’s soap looked good enough to eat and smelt gorgeous, with a lovely afternoon tea to finish. Highly recommended for anyone.”
“This course was fabulous, so much so I signed up for the candle making and reed diffuser courses and loved those too! I started to have a go at home for friends and family, but it was getting a bit costly as I was giving the products away for free. That’s when I decided to make it more official. With the help of a friend, now my business partner, Flavo Rosa launched in December 2020. It was incredibly exciting to start a new venture and we launched just in time for Christmas. I can’t thank Paula enough for the knowledge she has taught me. She really is amazing.”
