Make your own soap

In Éleonore's workshop-boutique, you will learn all about cold saponificationd! After a heartwarming welcome where good hot drinks will be waiting for you, the soap maker will explain the saponification process, the course of the workshop as well as the raw materials used, knowing that Eleonore only works with French organic raw materials, vegan and without allergens.

You can then choose the design you want: marbled soap or rather bicolored ? Everything is possible ! Eleonore will then suggest 5 colored natural pigments from plants. You will also have the possibility to mix them to obtain new colors.

Finally, you will select the recipe of your choice according to your skin type: dry and sensitive or rather combination to oily? Each ingredient has its properties and Eleonore will guide you to choose the best ones according to your needs. 

At the end of the workshop, you will leave with a loaf of 500 g surgras soap in a box. Éleonore will also give you advice on how to make the recipe at home: materials to use, safety rules, equipment, etc.
