Video eClass: Cold Process Soapmaking Using an Oil Blend

On-demand Cold Process Soapmaking Online Class - Using an Oil Blend from Nurture Soap, with Lori Nova Endres. Video Demos & Printer Friendly Class Handouts!
with Lori Nova Endres Save Time & Make CP Soap with an Oil Blend! Do you want to make your own soap, but in an easier, more efficient way? Would you like to weigh oils ONCE, versus weighing out 5+ oils every time? Looking to simplify your inventory & your purchasing of soapmaking oils? Want to see an experienced soapmaker's process, from start to finish? In our newest on-demand soapmaking class you'll see Lori’s entire soapmaking process (with 2 different demo batches on video). Both batches are made with Nurture Soap's Soapmaking Oil Blend, which is a lovely recipe created from 40% olive oil, 25% coconut oil, 25% organic & sustainable RSPO palm oil, 5% castor oil, & 5% sweet almond oil. Beginning & intermediate soapmaking students will benefit from this eClass that teaches a different way of soapmaking from scratch to save time and make inventory management of soapmaking oils easier. Why buy and manage stock of FIVE different oils, when you can buy it all combined together and you only have to weight oils ONCE (versus 5 times individually)? Learn the ins-and-outs of using an oil blend AND much more: Lori's soapmaking process, from start to finish, demonstrated with 2 different batches on video. A classic cold process soap made with essential oils & a more complex one, using a fragrance oil. See how I use sodium lactate & do a water discount, for quicker & better unmolding. Get updated info on equipment I use, scenting, coloring, & exfoliants. Learn some mica design techniques, creating a vein, layering, & texturing tops. Also includes soap cutting, beveling edges of bars, & packaging ideas. Get 4+ Hours of VIDEO Lessons Batch #1: “Simple Lavender” CP Soap - 2 Videos – (1-hour demo video) My first batch is a classic single-color soap with lavender essential oil, poured into a shoebox mold. I start at the beginning & show the whole process, in real time. This batch would be great to emulate for a first batch of CP Soap! Part 2 (15-min video) is 2 days later, where I discuss & demonstrate cutting, beveling, using a wavy cutter, & more. Batch #2: “Comfort & Joy” CP Soap - 3 Videos – (2-hour demo video) My second batch, also a complete CP soapmaking demo, was made during a virtual class using silicone loaf molds. This recipe uses a fragrance oil & is more complex - with sodium lactate for easy mold release & techniques like layering, textured tops, & mica design. In Part 2 (20-min video), you'll see how to add mica to soap tops, and in Part 3 (40-min video) we cover cutting, beveling, packaging ideas & more. Printer-Friendly 18-Page Class Handout Included with this eClass are the step-by-step instructions I used in the video demos, as well as everything you need to learn soapmaking from scratch.
