Make a refreshing, skin-soothing soap using natural ingredients and essential oils.

In this specialty workshop, you’ll learn how to make cold process soap using aloe vera and coconut milk — cool, creamy and nourishing — this workshop is all about making soap that feels like a spa day in a bar. You’ll be using aloe vera, coconut milk, and a gentle blend of olive, avocado, and shea butter to create a moisturising bar with beautiful natural colour from spirulina and alfalfa.

What makes this workshop extra special is our in-house essential oil blend — a refreshing mix of eucalyptus, sweet orange and peppermint — uplifting, crisp and perfect for everyday use.

Whether you’re new to soap making or have already joined us for our Signature Luxury Soap Workshop, this is a wonderful opportunity to explore a new recipe and expand your skills.

This workshop is part of our rotating Specialty Soap Series, offered once a month with a different focus each time. Coconut milk & aloe vera is available once per quarter, or by request for private groups of 6 or more.

What You’ll Make

You’ll make a full loaf of Coconut Milk & Aloe Vera Soap, which cuts into 8 to 10 luxury bars.
