Participants were introduced to two soap making techniques i.e. cold process and the melt-and-pour process. They also learned about various natural ingredients and the difference between "handmade soap" and commercial bars available on the market. Safety precautions were taken seriously during the learning process to ensure the ingredients were handled carefully.
