I think this is the best soap making class you'll find on ClassBento. Elena is a great teacher, enthusiastic, and patient. She also demonstrates and explains some really important things you need to know such as how to use soap calc, which is very helpful if you're planning to continue soap making as a hobby or business. She also explains the concept of "superfat", another important thing to know to make your soap more moisturising. Another class I took mentioned soap calc as something we should look into if we want to continue making soap at home, but didn't explain or demonstrate how to use it. I was really happy with how informative Elena's class was and felt like I learned a lot. She also provides handouts that you can take home to refresh yourself on what she's covered in class. She is also open to doing private classes to help you make another custom soap for a hobby or business if you have an idea. Overall I highly recommend this class as a starting point for soap making.

Took the class a little over a month ago. Pictured are the soaps I cut from the mould I got from the class a week after just leaving it to cure for a week or so. The bars were more solid after a few more weeks passed. Overall enjoyed the class, teachers were great, and me and my mum have actually gone through all the soap bars since then. They're good quality soaps that don't leave your skin feeling dry and itchy. Hopefully I can sell my own soap bar in future once I get more experience. I think it's a fun hobby to have as well because there are so many different ingredients and things you can use and experiment with when making soap.
