Natural Soap Making Courses & Award Winning Handmade Soap

In 2015 I turned my passion for making handmade natural soap into my first soap making class and since then I’ve taught over 750 people the fundamentals of how to make natural soap. That’s a lot of soap!

My soap making courses are one of the longest standing courses in the UK and are rated Excellent on Trustpilot. Read my Trustpilot reviews here.

All the soap that we create in my soap making workshops are made with plant-based oils and butters and they are naturally fragranced with essential oils. A real treat for both your body and your mind!

If you’ve ever wondered how to make natural soap, dabbled in soap making or are looking to start your own soap making or cosmetics business then you’ve come to the right place and my courses are made for you.

I’d love to share my passion for soap making with you and I hope that you enjoy browsing my website. If you have any questions please contact me.

“Absolutely brilliant workshop, Ruth is a true expert in soap making, her years of knowledge make the session invaluable for anyone interested in making soap for pleasure or to sell. I had no previous experience in soap making before attending, Ruth is so lovely and paced the session perfectly, providing just the right level of detail and information combined with demonstrations and plenty of time to make your own creations. It really was exactly what I needed to give me the confidence to have a go myself and it was such a fun day! I’ve already ordered all of the equipment and can’t wait to get started.” Clare

“I attended Ruth's on line Business course with my friend recently and have to say how amazing it was. Ruth is lovely and provided us with detailed information regarding running a hand made soap business. There were lots of details provided much of which had never entered our minds. Saved us hours of trawling through the internet.” Heather

“Enjoyed an amazing experience with Ruth in her beautiful soap making haven. I now know exactly how to make the most exquisite soaps that smell and look divine. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Ruth is a mine of information and guides you through the whole procedure step by step so there is no room for error. I came home loaded up with freshly made organic soaps. My car smelt like a spa. I had a one to one experience but with hindsight should have brought my daughters as the whole thing was so relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks Ruth, it was perfect.” Mrs K
