About this collection
When you join my cold process soap workshop, you aren't just following a recipe, you are learning to calculate your own soap formulas from scratch. Even in your very first session, you will leave with a full 1kg batch of soap that you formulated yourself using skin-loving oils and fragrances, gaining the confidence to experiment safely on your own.
I believe in teaching you the 'why' behind the soap making process. My workshops in Shanti Nagar focus on real-world skills, ensuring you understand the chemistry of saponification and how to manage trace, rather than just copying a design. We break down the science so you can eventually create your own formulations, whether you want to make soap as a relaxing hobby or launch your own small-batch skincare business.
Why Learn With Me?
- No Gatekeeping: I share my real experiences, including the kitchen disasters I faced when I started nine years ago, so you don't have to make the same mistakes.
- Small Batches, Big Results: In our sessions, you use professional tools and premium ingredients to create tangible products—from cold process soap loaves and whipped cream soaps to scrubs and shampoo bars.
- Studio Environment: My Bangalore studio is set up for hands-on learning. It is a space where we focus on technique, safety, and creativity.
Workshop Formats
Whether you are a beginner looking for a creative outlet, a parent wanting a fun activity for kids, or an aspiring entrepreneur, there is a path for you:
- Cold Process Soap Design: A deep dive into chemistry, swirling techniques, and custom formulation.
- Skincare Formulation: Learn to make lotions, body creams, and shampoo bars using professional emulsifiers and pH testing.
- Transparent Base Masterclass: A technical session for those who want to make their own clear melt-and-pour bases from raw materials.
- Private & Online Sessions: For those who prefer 1:1 learning or cannot travel to my studio.
Every student leaves with their own creations and the knowledge to keep making them at home. Let's start your soap making journey together.
Suffuse
I'm Aruna, and I turned my kitchen soap-making experiments into a studio where I love teaching everything I've learned. Whether it is a first-timer making their first loaf or a pro-in-the-making, I am there to share the 'ghost swirls' and formulation secrets I have picked up over nine years.
