What to bring with you on the day of the workshop?

• Soap makers' rule N°1 - "Safety" : Bring a face mask, you will need it to safely manage lye powder.
• Soap makers' rule N°2 - "Re-Use" : If you want, you can bring your own moulds to pour soap into. You can recycle any old silicon mould (like those for muffins or cupcakes), just make sure that it is still flexible to allow to easily pop out the soap bar once it has harden. If you don't have any, don't worry, I will provide same to you.
