In this workshop, you'll learn how to make your own solid shampoo and conditioner bars that are perfect for both hair and body. Led by expert soapmaker, Marla Bosworth, this hands-on experience will teach you the techniques needed to create these Lush-type bars that will last for up to 80 washes – the equivalent of nearly four bottles of liquid shampoo! Best of all, no packaging is required, making them environmentally friendly.
This is a live, online class, held on Wednesday, August 16 at 7-9 p.m. Eastern Time/New York. Class will also be recorded, and if you happen to miss the live class no worries, as everyone will receive the recorded class. In addition, there will be live office hours for followup and opportunity to ask questions on Thursday, August 17 at 7-8:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
These syndet bars are made differently than the cold process method. They are much better for the hair and scalp than cold process due in part to the ability to adjust pH to match hair pH. Cold process soap, on the other hand, has too high of a pH (8-9 range) that cannot be adjusted because oils and water would separate. Hair and scalp pH ranges from 4.5-5.5. Using cold process soaps for hair can cause damage to both hair and scalp.
Average sale price of these bars is $15 for a 1.9 oz. bar (take that, cold process soap!), and there is no cure time nor packaging required.
Don't worry if you're new to soapmaking; this class is designed for beginners and aims to alleviate any fears you may have about the process. Marla will guide you through step-by-step, providing an information-packed class handout with detailed instructions, recipes, and a valuable supplier list. By the end of the class, you'll have the knowledge and skills to recreate these bars at home.
Not only are these bars practical for everyday use, but they also make great travel companions. They won't get soggy in the shower and can be used by both women and men. Plus, as they are solid and compact, they're perfect for on-the-go adventures.
