Uncover the benefits of crafting vegan soap with natural ingredients in this soap making class in Brooklyn. If you're eager to dive into the captivating world of soap making but uncertain about where to start, this soap making class for beginners will set you up for success.
You'll embark on an enlightening journey as you learn the soap making process from start to finish. You'll start with an all-natural base and then have the opportunity to personalize your soap by selecting from a variety of scents and herbs which will add a refreshing touch of creativity to your day.
It is crucial to understand what you are applying to your skin, fortunately, this class will teach you how to make skin care products with clean and natural ingredients! In this workshop, you'll unravel the reasons why common soap companies use harmful ingredients.
Not only will you learn how to make soap with natural ingredients, but you will also learn how to make soap sustainably! Liquid soap consumption is seven times higher than that of solid soap, and using liquid soap also results in a 30% increase in water usage compared to solid soap bars.

Recent reviews of Vegan Soap Making Class

  • 4/5 from Diane Schoppmann, attended Dec 2025: Class was held in a large, converted textile factory. The building is not clearly marked & requires someone to let you in. We called the number on our class confirmation but were sent to voicemail. After sending a text message & asking if we were at the right location, the instructor came down & let us in for our class. We walked up several flights of stairs in an unheated building. The classroom had heat & was set up for 7, but there were 9 that showed up for the class. We did enjoy making our soap, but did not expect the class would be held in what appeared to be an abandoned building. We also were confused as to why the instructor was not waiting downstairs to let us in for our class.
  • 5/5 from Diana Clemente, attended Apr 2025: This was a fun way to spend a Saturday! I'm happy we got to leave with a few bonus goodies as well. Thank you Gina!
  • 5/5 from Janine Harwood, attended Mar 2025: This class led by Gina was absolutely amazing! The information she shared about soaps and how we should evaluate what we use on a daily basis was mindblowing. It was super informative and I couldn't have asked for a better class. This was a gift to my husband who has a skin condition and struggles to find the right soap. He walked out of there knowing so much, having soaps he made and excited to make some again soon on his own. Thanks for this amazing class.
