Making soap from scratch is a fun new activity for anybody interested in learning a new skill, making unique presents for your friends and family, or giving their home a more natural feel. Our soap-making class in NY is even the perfect bonding activity for you and your loved ones.
At Clover Brooke Farm, we find fulfillment in empowering people to control the kinds of substances they introduce to their bodies with our soap-making class. Aside from teaching students a new skill, our graduates experience even more benefits of making their own soap.
Our soap-making courses will show you that when you create your own soap, you can avoid synthetic chemicals like parabens and learn the right ingredient portions to infuse your soaps.
This session will introduce you to soap making procedures required to make soap from scratch, discussing the following:
The History of Making Soap from Scratch

Commercially made soaps can sometimes include harsh chemicals that cause more harm than good over time. Finding soaps that don't irritate your sensitive skin can be challenging. Making your own soaps gives you the ability to create soaps that are formulated specifically for your skin.
Soap making includes using base oils. Using certain natural oils like coconut and olive pomace oils has natural benefits. They're also very gentle in the right proportions, decreasing the risk of skin problems from extended use. All of our soaps are vegan, responsibly made right at the farm.
Everyone needs soap. You're welcome.
All jokes aside, a handcrafted soap you've taken the time to curate for someone means way more to them than a store-bought commercial brand. You also have peace of mind knowing they're using a natural product that's good for them.
Soap making is equally as scientific as it is an artistic activity. Cold process soap making allows you to create different patterns and mix colors and hues. People often say soap making is a relaxing process where people are most creative.
When you've mastered soap-making courses, you'll have a new skill that opens the door to many business opportunities. Soap-making is a very profitable niche.
This course will instruct students on the cold process technique of soap making, one of many methods (others include melt-and-pour, hot process, and rebatching).

In this practical class, you'll learn about the benefits of making soap from scratch using traditional plant oils (no palm oil). These leave your skin feeling soft and looking radiant. Soaps with harsh detergents, which may dry out the skin and create inflammation, are out.
