Whether I am at a corporate office like Sony Pictures or an NGO event with Amazon, I handle all the material and setup, so you can just focus on the fun of mixing natural ingredients and taking home your custom creation. My journey with Soaps N More has been nothing short of a rollercoaster, and I am so grateful for every step. When I started, it was a small dream; today, seeing my products and workshops reach people at places like Tata Power and Redbrick Offices is a proud moment for me. ### Why I Love Workshops Soap making is an art, and teaching it is my favorite part of the business. My live workshops are designed to be hands-on and stress-free. I bring the goat milk base, essential oils, and clays, and you bring your energy. It is perfect for: * **Corporate Team Building:** A refreshing break from screens where colleagues create something tactile. * **NGOs & Community Events:** Sharing the joy of handmade skincare with kids and adults alike. * **School & Kids Parties:** Safe, fun, and educational sessions where everyone walks away with their own customized soap. ### Proud Milestones It is not just about the soap; it is about the community. I was incredibly humbled to be recognized as the 1st Runner Up in the Beauty Products category at the WEE-E4BM Achievers' Awards 2024. This recognition from the Women Entrepreneurs Enclave encourages me to keep pushing boundaries in the organic skincare space. Whether it is fulfilling a bulk order for an MNC or setting up a pop-up stall at a local carnival, my promise remains the same—pure, honest, and handmade with love. Ek baar try kijiye, you will love the difference! ## About Soaps N More Hi, I am Rutuja!
