a full immersion into the soap-making process. you’ll learn the chemistry of soap-making, and will cook your own batch of our house soap recipe. you’ll make a two and a half pound batch of soap, and will have access to upgrade to premium oils & additives. apothecary verde founder melissa, a certified aromatherapist with advanced studies in botanical body products, will guide this workshop, providing resources and assistance along the way.

what makes this experience special + things to note /

this workshop is fully hands-on. after an introduction and gathering of resources, you’ll use our soap lab workstation to fully batch your own loaf of soap. experienced soap formulator and apothecary verde founder melissa will be on hand to support, supervise, and assist as necessary.

batch from scratch soap makers will have more ingredients to play with, and you can select up to three essential oils and three clays/botanicals/herbals to add to your recipe. you’ll also be able to select essential oil upgrades from our premium elite shelf. (upgrades are add-on costs, based on current market values of oils.)

cold process soap making is a slow-process craft: your soaps will be cured and ready for pickup 4-6 weeks after event, and you’ll go home the day of your workshop with a fully cured bar of apothecary verde soap to immediately enjoy!

batch from scratch soap making is limited to no more than three students per session, so you’ll have plenty of space to work and access to melissa for resources and assistance.
