SOAP is a common daily household item. It is one of the most effective ways to remove germs from our hands and body and to prevent the spread of viruses. This workshop allows participants to make their own bar soaps which can definitely be of use. The handmade bar soap can also be given as a meaningful gift to friends and loved ones. We do not use any corrosive chemicals such as Sodium Hydroxide in the process. Instead, we will be using glycerin and glycerin can be easily melted and moulded into the ideal shape and sizes of the bar soap that you like. You are free to add colours and scents of your choice during the workshop.
During the workshop, you will also be able to learn the science involved in the bar soap making. This workshop can be done physically or virtually on zoom. It is highly recommended as part of bonding activities between you and your child.
