Lye Safety Video – If you have any fear at all about working with lye, I want to reassure you. I liken working with lye to working with dangerous household cleaning products such as bleach and ajax.

Sure lye needs to be respected, but never feared!

I created a whole video dedicated to safely making your lye solution! I talk about the different kinds of lye and where to find it. I go over containers and utensils that are safe to use. I’ll walk you through the process, showing you how to use a scale, step-by-step, and you’ll see how easy it is.
Preparing Your Oils & Scent Video – After making your lye solution, you’ll need to prepare your oils. I’ll show you my process for preparing my oils that won’t have you waiting FOREVER for your temperatures to drop so that you can make your soap.
Mixing and Molding Video – After you’ve prepared your lye solution and oils, it is time to mix your soap! I’ll walk you through how to use an immersion blender to bring your soap to trace! (Don’t know what trace is? This video will help!) It can be hard to recognize when your soap is fully mixed, this detailed video will show you the detailed process. I’ll also discuss temperature and how that affects your soap.
Cutting and Curing Your Soap Video – After you’ve poured your soap into the mold, you’ll need to let it firm up! We’ll talk about how long to let your soap sit, how to cut your soap and how to cure. And if you don’t know what cure mean, don’t worry, we’ll discuss that!
After watching this video series, you’ll be able to confidently and safely make cold process soap!
Here’s what a few of my fellow Soapmakers had to say about why they started Soapmaking:
- The ingredients in commercial soap can cause irritation, inflammation and troubling allergic reactions. Learning to make soap provides you the freedom to use ingredients that work for your family’s specific needs, providing soothing relief for a variety of skin types.
- Soapmaking can become an engaging craft or hobby that provides enrichment and joy.
- By using a variety of techniques, ingredients and colors, soapmaking is an art medium that does more than simply provide a creative outlet. It produces skin soothing soap that delights the senses.
- The soapmaking process provides a therapeutic outlet for managing depression and anxiety.
- Natural handcrafted soap is the perfect gift for birthdays, holidays, wedding and baby showers, and basically any gift-giving opportunity!
- Soapmaking provides a creative outlet that can double as a business or side hustle.
This course will have you making the perfect natural soap in no time!
“I’ve watched soooo many YouTube tutorials on making soap but I wasn’t quite confident enough. It’s like the videos on YouTube gave me some info, but not ALL the info. I took Amanda’s course and I made my first batch of soap over Thanksgiving! It came out great!” – Leslie V.
“Working with lye scared me so much that I’ve been putting off making soap for several months! After watching this series I was able to do it! Now I’m addicted and can’t stop ordering supplies!” – Rebecca C.

Great beginner class as well as a refresher for seasoned Soapers. I highly recommend getting Amanda’s book “Goat Milk Soapmaking” that covers everything you need to know for making goats milk soap.

The mini course is great for someone just starting their soap making journey. I was so excited after completing the mini course that I ordered The Whole Soap Pot and spent my weekend watching the videos and reading as much as I could about soap making. Definitely worth the cost!

I just recently figured out I can make my own bath and body products. I came across this website and have been following it since. After seeing such an awesome price to view a beginning soap course, I couldn’t resist. This is a good starting point. I know there is so much to learn but these videos gave me just enough information to get started as a beginner.
