Natural Nerd
Soap-making Kit

Learn how to make your own natural soap bars from scratch with this convenient soap-making kit from Natural Nerd. The kit contains all the ingredients you need, already measured for you, to make Natural Nerd's soap bar recipe for beginners. Complete with step-by-step instructions and access to a demonstration video, you will enjoy learning just how easy and quick it is to make your own soap from scratch.

This kit is an affordable introduction to a new hobby.

Beautifully packaged in a cardboard box, wrapped with raffia twine and a gift tag, this kit also makes a uniquely creative gift. Everything about this kit is environmentally responsible. The soap you make is natural and vegan-friendly. The ingredients are packaged in glass, and home compostable plant cellulose bags that will biodegrade in 3 months. Plastic packaging is only used where absolutely necessary - making this a gift with a low carbon footprint.

The kit contains:

1. Soaping oils  - a blend of coconut oil and sunflower oil (Packaging: Glass jar)
2. Essential oil for fragrance - citronella (Packaging: Glass vial)
3. Natural soap colourant - turmeric (Packaging: Home compostable plant cellulose bag)
4. Bentonite clay (Packaging: Home compostable plant cellulose bag)
5. Water (Packaging: Glass bottle)
6. Sodium hydroxide (Packaging: Alkaline resistant plastic tub)
7. Re-usable protective gloves (made from natural rubber)
8. Instruction card (printed on recycled cardboard)
9. Access to a demonstration video - simply scan the QR code on the instruction card to watch the video.

You will still need some basic equipment to make the soap, which you probably already have at home. The equipment required includes an electric blender, stainless steel pot, heatproof glass or ceramic bowls, stainless steel spoons, towel and a soap mould. You can use an empty plastic ice-cream or margarine container as a soap mould. There is no need to buy a soap mould.

This kit also comes with an option to include Natural Nerd's online soap-making course (worth R400) at a 25% discounted price. The online course is for those who want to learn about soap-making in more depth, beyond just following a recipe. The kit will supplement the online course by allowing you to complete the practical component of the course immediately, without having to go and buy the ingredients separately. The kit and online course serves as a complete package to learn about natural soap-making. Click here for more information about what the online course includes. If you would like the course included with this kit, please select the "Kit + Online Course" option above and you will be given a voucher code with your kit, which you can use to access the course.

Without the course, you will still be able to make your own soap by following the step-by-step instructions and/or watching the demonstration video included on the leaflet.

The online course includes:

• Over 2 hours of video content
• Quizzes to test your understanding after each section
• Lifetime access
• Student support
• Certificate of completion
• Printable course notes and resources

Whether you buy this kit for yourself or as a gift for someone else, one thing is for sure - you will never want to buy soap again.
