Starboard Soap School Intermediate Soap Making Class - Milk Soap

This workshop is geared to the soap maker who has had some experience making cold process soap on a regular basis but who has little or no experience incorporating milk into the the mix.

This new component adds a variety of new or enhanced characteristics to any soap produced. The use of milk requires special handling which must be learned by doing.

This workshop addresses the major requirements to get the relatively new or seasoned soap maker off and running in the production of milk enhanced soaps, while providing a quick review of cold-process soap making and related safety procedures.

We will be using the Cold Process of soap making which is the old-fashioned process that combines sodium hydroxide with fats and oils, and creates a soap that cleans with kindness due to the glycerine created and retained in the soap.
