Congratulations on taking the first step to learning the artisan craft of soap making. This is where we begin everything you need to know to learn how to make soap. This lesson was built for those who have never made soap from scratch before and it assumes you have zero knowledge of any form of soap making. It goes very slow and explains absolutely everything. This lesson is intended to give you the confidence to work with the ingredients needed in a safe and controlled manor. If you have a general idea on how to make soap this lesson will move slowly, but make sure to carefully review the lesson on safety, and first aid in the case of a chemical burn.
