Cold Process Soap Making Workshop 5 – Castile Soap Step into the refined world of olive-based soap with Soap Ministry’s CP5 Castile Soap Workshop, specially designed for cold process makers seeking to master chemical‑free skincare. In this advanced DIY soap making class, you'll create 100%-olive-oil Castile cold process soap distinguished by its gentle, moisturizing lather—ideal for sensitive skin, and especially skin that benefits from a chemical‑free soap for eczema formulation. The session guides you through the unique challenges of crafting true Castile soap—known for its slower saponification and longer curing process—while preserving the nourishing fatty acids and antioxidants from premium olive oil. You’ll also learn how to enhance its delicate, creamy lather with optional additives like castor oil or natural enhancers, ensuring your soap delivers both purity and performance. Drawing on practical insight into the benefits of olive oil in cold process soapmaking, this workshop arms you with the technique and knowledge needed to formulate gentle yet effective facial or body bars. Participants will undergo a typical curing period of 6–8 weeks (reflecting Castile’s slow-hardening nature), after which your handcrafted bars will be ready for collection. On successful completion, Soap Ministry awards an E‑certificate, celebrating your expertise in organic Castile soapcraft. Perfect for those already comfortable with foundational techniques (e.g., CP1 and CP2), CP5 is a focused opportunity to further hone your handmade soap skills—and deepen your understanding of what makes natural, minimalist formulations truly exceptional. Level: Advanced*Completion of CP1 and CP2 are prerequisite for taking CP5 course. Castile Soap, also known as a Vegan Soap, is made up of more than 75% olive oil. It is considered safe for even the most sensitive skin types. It can help oily, acne-prone skin. The oils found in Castile Soap penetrate pores with their antibacterial agents, helping clean your skin without drying it out. All cold process soaps will require 6 - 8 weeks of curing process.
