About the course

Have you ever looked at wonderful soaps (like the ones pictured above) and thought to yourself, “I’d love to know the secrets to making soaps like that… and if I could earn money selling them, that would be even better!”

I’ll bet you have (which is probably why this page caught your attention).

You’ve probably watched hours of videos on YouTube, trying to figure out exactly how to make soaps that people love… but you’ve been confused by all the techniques and conflicting information in these videos.

Maybe you’ve even looked into courses and programmes designed to teach you how to make your own soaps. There are quite a few such programmes out there, but they always seem to have the same problems, don’t they?

Most of these programmes require a time commitment of about two years before you learn all the skills you need to consistently create excellent soap products… and sometimes even longer.

Many people teaching these courses only have limited experience (often times, they’ve just recently completed their own training), so they haven’t truly mastered the techniques they’re showing you.

These programmes typically don’t include training and education about EU cosmetics regulations. Knowing these regulations in detail is essential if you want to sell your soaps… and helps ensure that your customers will enjoy your soaps safely.

Very few of these programmes include real-world training, tips, or resources to help you turn your soap-making passion into a business… so you’re essentially just paying to learn a rather expensive hobby.

In short, why would you want to spend your hard-earned money on a programme or course that isn’t going to give you the experience, insights, and techniques you need quickly?

After all, if you want to turn your passion for beautiful, luxurious soaps into a business you can be proud of, you need complete training that covers every aspect of your soap making business from start to finish. And you need it to be fast-paced, so that you can start earning money and thrilling your customers as soon as possible!

That’s why we’ve developed this 7-day Soap Making Intensive Course.

We’re Shawn and Sarah, the instructors of the Soap Making Intensive Masterclass Course.  Like you, we’ve been fascinated with luxury soaps for quite a long time… and we’ve tapped into that passion to help people just like you – aspiring soap makers from all over the world – develop the skills to not only produce soaps that people will love, but also to transform your hobby into a business that can earn a part time (or even full time) income!

Shawn has more than a decade of experience in creating beautiful, natural soaps, and has been a part of Soap School for 10 years. His American soap making techniques are instrumental in helping our students – from beginners to advance soap makers – produce functional works of art.

Sarah’s background is in wax art and crafting, but once she discovered soap making, she knew she had found something truly special.  She has more than 25 years of experience training people in soap, cosmetics, and candle making, and owned one of the largest soap making supply companies in Europe before founding Soap School.  She graduated in business and finance, which allows her to help aspiring soap makers launch their own successful businesses.

Together, we’ve worked with people from more than 100 countries, many of whom now earn their incomes from the exceptional soaps they create for their customers every day.

Now, we’d like to invite you to become our next success story!

Simply put, this programme is the most complete, in-depth soap making course available anywhere in the world. Unlike YouTube videos and other online resources, this programme gives you hands-on instruction with experienced trainers by your side. By having us shadowing you as you practice what you learn in our professional training facility, you get to perfect your techniques in a matter of days – 7 days, to be exact!

And unlike most programmes, we cover a full range of soap making methods, styles and techniques, helping you create a signature collection that reflects your unique vision. Think about that – when you create and market your personal collection, you get customers coming back to you to buy again and again… and referring their friends, family, and coworkers to you too!

You’ll also get a day dedicated to business training to help you create a profitable business from your soap making efforts… while avoiding the time-consuming and costly mistakes that many new business owners make. (Believe us, we know from experience – we’ve made quite a few of these mistakes ourselves!)

Should you really invest 7 days in this training programme?

Like most of us, you probably have a very busy life. So we understand if spending 7 days in this live programme seems like quite a time investment.

Many of the soap makers we’ve met have taken several 1-day courses that show one or two techniques, but that don’t provide enough training to allow true mastery. So even though they’ve invested time and money into learning the art and business of soap making, they still don’t have a clear path to success.

We’ve structured this programme as a 7-day course, though, to fully prepare you to launch your own soap making business as quickly and efficiently as possible. In just 1 week, you’ll learn all the core techniques and design options available, so you can choose the ones that work best for you. And you’ll discover how to market and sell your soaps at a profit quickly, so you can actually benefit financially from your new expertise.

Plus, after you successfully complete the programme, you’ll receive your personalised Advanced Diploma in Soap Making… showing your customers, friends, and family that you have truly achieved mastery of your craft! In short, if you’re serious about becoming an expert soap maker, and about creating a profitable business… then the 7-day Soap Making Intensive Course is exactly where you need to be.

What's Covered

Day 1

Traditional Cold Process Soap Making Course
We will cover all the health and safety aspects of soap making before diving in and teaching you core fundamentals of traditional cold process soap making.  You will learn about the ingredients, equipment, and then dive right in to making your first soaps.  You will use natural oils and butters to create botanical soaps, layered and sculpted layered soaps and even swirl and surface swirl designs on this first soap making class.
Day 2

Natural Liquid & Cream Soap Making Course
Start the day with the Soap School taking you through the skills and techniques to make your own.

Liquid soaps, in all their forms, outsell bar soaps 8:1 so this a real bonus in any soap making repertoire.

We will teach you all the differences between making solid bar soaps and natural liquid soaps. You will learn about the ingredients that will produce the best results and how you can utilise your own favourite additions into your recipes.

Whilst the cooking process of the liquid soaps takes a couple of hours we will have plenty of time to talk about the Luxurious Cream soaps.  
Cream soaps are one of the most delicious and exciting soaps to create. Their natural soft silky texture and naturally pearlised appearance lends itself to several exclusive products and we will explore these including making a luxury shaving cream and delicious foaming shower smoothies.
Day 3

Advanced Cold Process Soap Making Course
In this session, we’ll dive into cold process soap making techniques, including funnel swirling and faux funnel swirls, mica swirling, spoon swirling, feather and helix swirling… plus other impressive techniques like soap embeds and soap planets, confetti soaps and toppings, and a special whipped soap making method that lets you easily create pipeable toppings and soap frosting.

By the time you finish the Day 3 module, you’ll have a wealth of expert-level techniques in your arsenal, so you can create eye-catching soaps that your customers will adore!
Day 4

Melt and Pour Glycerine Soap Crafting Class PLUS Advanced Loaf Techniques
Extended Session

Starting with the core techniques, we’ll show you how to create simple, beautiful glycerine soaps… even if you’ve never tried to make them before.

Day 5

Hybrid Combination Soap Crafting workshop PLUS Cold Process Swirling Techniques
Extended Session

Want to create truly stunning effects? Then you’ll love the Day 5 extended session, where you’ll learn how to artfully combine cold process and glycerine soap methods to produce visually impressive soaps with ease.

You’ll learn how to make external rimmed soap styles and loaf designs, as well as eye-catching technical swirls in cold process soaps.

We’ll cover Ebru, Peacock, and Zebra swirls, exterior texturing, and a treasure trove of other spectacular techniques.
Day 6

Hot Process Soap Making and Shaving Soap Course
If you want to get your soap making business off the ground quickly, the Day 6 module is for you.

We’ll also dive into shaving soaps, which are another product that you can produce quickly to jumpstart your collection.
Day 7

Developing Your Soap Business Module
Now that you’ve mastered soap making, we’ll turn our attention to the business aspect of things. We’ve designed the Day 7 module to give you all of the business knowhow to launch quickly, while avoiding roadblocks that can cost you time and money. We’ll cover critical topics like naming your business, branding, sourcing materials, marketing, pricing, calculating stock for events, and much more. At the end of the day, we’ll hold a Q&A session to help you solidify your business ideas, and then enjoy a lively celebration and awards ceremony!
