Goat Milk Soap Making Workshop

Creative Melt & Pour Soap Crafting. Join Us For A Fun Make-and-Take Experience in the Heart of LA!



45 mins Location Mid-City Class size 8 to 50 guests   $50 - $75 ($50 for Person for Public Booking; $75 for Person for Private Booking)

Our Melt & Pour Goat Milk Soap Workshop is the perfect hands-on creative experience for beginners, friends, families, or anyone looking for a fun and relaxing make-and-take activity! During this 45-minute workshop, participants will customize their own goat milk soap bars using a variety of scents, colors, dried flowers, botanicals, and decorative add-ins.
We handle the melting and heating process for you with pre-made, already melted soap base, so you can focus on designing and creating. Once finished, you’ll package up your soaps and take both your creations and soap molds home with you.
This workshop is intended to be a fun, creative make-and-take experience, not an in-depth professional soap making, cold-process course, or entrepreneurship starting point. If you are interested in learning advanced methods or starting a soap making business, we recommend seeking mentorship or specialized training from experienced soap makers currently producing and selling their products professionally.
Please note
This is not a cold process soap-making class. Our workshop focuses on melt-and-pour soap crafting and customization only. Due to the time, equipment, ventilation, and safety requirements involved with cold process soap making, we do not offer those classes. If you are specifically seeking a traditional cold process soap-making course, we kindly recommend looking for a specialty workshop better suited to that process.
We use a goat's milk soap base for this class. We do not make this melt ourselves. Please see ingredients list. Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Sunflower Oil, Glycerin, Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sorbitol, Goat's Milk, EDTA, Titanium Dioxide.
For private groups we can special order a clear glycerin base. We do not make this melt ourselves. Please see ingredients list. Ingredients: water (25-40%), glycerin (10-15%), sodium stearate, sorbitol, sodium laurate, stearic acid, sodium chloride, and lauric acid.
If you are allergic to or uneasy with any of these ingredients, please do not register for this workshop. We are unable to provide alternatives to you, as we purchase only these items, and in bulk and in advance.
Please do not bring your own melts or melter. Thank you.

FAQ

Is this workshop a good jumping off point for starting a soap-making business?
Not really- and that’s intentional! This class is designed to be a fun, creative, beginner-friendly make-and-take experience where you can customize beautiful soaps and enjoy the process without the pressure of learning commercial production methods.
Is this a cold process soap-making class? Do you offer cold process classes?
No. This is a melt-and-pour soap crafting workshop. We pre-melt and prepare the goat milk soap base for you, and participants customize their soaps with scents, colors, dried flowers, and decorative elements before packaging them to take home. At this time, we do not offer cold process soap-making classes due to the additional equipment, ventilation, safety requirements, curing time, and longer instructional format required for that process.

Recent reviews of Goat Milk Soap Making Workshop

  • 4/5 from Kim Hall, attended May 2026: In spite of the class starting 10 to 15 minutes late because the doors were not open on time, and they teacher was not prepared with everything that needed to be set up and then being reminded halfway through that the class is only 45 minutes I did enjoy making the soap. I inquired whether we were using natural ingredients and additionalinformation about the soap ingredients and was only given limited information. I was told to check the website if I wanted to know more. Not sure if the instructor was having a bad day, but it could’ve been a little more informative and on time. Since this was my first time making goat, milk soap, I thought my soap barscame out pretty good.
  • 3/5 from Lydia Hall, attended May 2026: If you are looking for a cute, surface-level activity to do with a group of friends, this class is perfectly fine. However, if you are actually looking to learn the craft of soapmaking, save your money and look elsewhere. This is not an educational course; it’s a highly controlled craft assembly line. The Pros (The Social Experience) * **Great Group Activity:** Going with a group of four friends was a wonderful social experience. We had a great time in each other's company and enjoyed the physical act of assembling the soaps together. * **Friendly Instructor:** The teacher was incredibly pleasant and sweet. There was no hostility or bad attitude from the staff. * **The Takeaways:** You get to take home two bars of soap, the molds they were made in, and a cute little box for transport. * **A Dash of Creativity:** You get to participate in the final, aesthetic steps of the process: choosing scents, adding colors, and mixing in dried flowers. The Cons (The Missing Education) * **Zero Actual "Soapmaking":** You do not actually make soap in this class. The soap base is pre-made, and you are entirely excluded from the foundational process. Worse, they won't even give you a list of the ingredients used in the base. * **Gatekept Information:** The instructor was actively unhelpful when it came to technical questions. If you want to understand the science, the base, or how to replicate the process at home, you will be met with vague answers. * **"Google It" Instruction:** when asked direct questions about the soapmaking process, the instructor literally told us that if we wanted to know the answer, we could "look it up on the website." * **Severely Limited Creativity:** Your creative input is strictly limited to the very end of the process (adding scent and color). You are essentially just customizing a pre-existing product, not crafting something from scratch. Final Verdict I came into this class genuinely excited to kickstart a new hobby, but I left realizing I will have to do my own research or find a completely different class to learn the skill. Go into this expecting a fun day activity with the girls—but do not expect to leave as a soapmaker.
  • 5/5 from Stephanie Hay, attended Jan 2026: Jen is a fantastic teacher! I came by myself and had a blast— talking to Jen is like talking with one of my best girl friends. She is kind, informative, and fun! The class was a blast and the soaps look so cute!
  • 5/5 from Caitlin Scholz, attended Aug 2025: The soap class was fun and engaging. The hour blew by! Our teacher was so patient and helped everyone who messed up. We were so happy to leave with two soaps each. It was a really fun bonding activity and we can't wait to go again!
  • 5/5 from Gabriela Moreira, attended Feb 2025: Jenn, our teacher, was very kind! She explained the process thoroughly and would circle around to make sure everyone knew what they were doing. She had a great 80s playlist and was overall very easy to talk to. We all had a fun experience and would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Vivian Zhu, attended Feb 2025: Jen hosted my friend and I for a goat milk soap making class. it was an easy class with all materials provided- and not messy at all! it was a bit shorter than an hour but there was no pressure at all. I redeemed 2 people on a ClassBento gift card which was really easy. i will come back for more classes here.
  • 5/5 from Amber Hamilton, attended Dec 2024: We hosted a soap making party for our daughter’s birthday. The group of 13 really enjoyed the class. The pacing was perfect and the teacher created a fun atmosphere. We will definitely come back for future classes and birthday parties.
  • 5/5 from Georgia Valencia, attended Nov 2024: The Soap Class was great. Materials were very easy to work with, and the Teacher is very friendly. I would recommend this class to anybody who listens.
