What Is Cold Process Soap Making?
Cold process soap making is a chemistry-based process that involves combining oils and fats with sodium hydroxide (lye) to trigger a chemical reaction called saponification. This is how real bar soap is made.
This is not a melt-and-pour class.
This is a true cold process soap making workshop focused on safety, formulation, and understanding the science behind soap.

During this in-person soap making workshop in Grosse Pointe, you will:
- Choose one of two professional cold process soap recipes:
- Coconut oil–based cold process soap
- Shea butter–based cold process soap
- Learn how sodium hydroxide works in soap making
- Safely mix, pour, and mold your soap under guided instruction
- Customize your soap with:
- Color
- Fragrance
- Pour and take home one full custom soap loaf (which can be cut into multiple bars after curing)
This class blends STEM education, creativity, and hands-on learning in a relaxed but professional lab-style environment.
