Finally, I feel more secure when making soaps
"I love this course! It has all I need to know to feel more secure when I make soaps. Marta is a great teacher and helps you with all the questions... Finally, I can create what I need to take care of my sensitive skin with zero waste."
Miriam, Spain
The feeling of making something for yourself is absolutely priceless!
"Making soap gives you the opportunity to explore your creativity mixing different ingredients and additives including flowers and herbs. The feeling of making something for yourself for free is something not only useful but absolutely priceless!"
Irene, UK
Now I have all the knowledge and tools I need to make soaps for my daughters
"Uso il sapone solido da quasi 10 anni perché diventata mamma volevo la soluzione più sana e sostenibile per le mie figlie. Ho poi iniziato a tentare l’autoproduzione ma il poco tempo per sperimentare mi ha portato alla decisione di affidarmi all’esperienza e competenza di Marta. Sono molto soddisfatta del corso, che se anche non ho ancora finito, mi ha dato gli strumenti per mettermi subito all’opera e sono ormai alla quarta produzione di saponette. Grazie Marta!"
Cristina, Italy
Now I know exactly what's in my soaps...goal achieved!
"One thing I love about soap making is the ability to know what exactly are in my soaps.... Goal achieved! The course is very informative, nicely structured, and easy to understand. Plus, the video quality is really good!"
Sochenda, Cambodia
I can now master making soaps with the colours, textures and scents I want
"Ho iniziato a fare i miei primi saponi poco prima di iscrivermi al corso di Marta. Essendo una principiante ho trovato molto utile trovare tutte le informazioni base spiegate in maniera chiara. Quando poi ho iniziato a impratichirmi un po' di più ho trovato tanti spunti per poter creare saponi diversi con texture, colori e profumi differenti.Mi piace usare i miei saponi perché so come sono stati fatti, quali ingredienti contengono e crearli ed usarli ormai è diventata una routine speciale."
Sara, Italy

Meet Your Instructor
Hi! My name is Marta and I love minimal, zero waste, simple living.
My zero waste journey started with soap making: for me, it was the first step to take control on the waste I was producing as well as what I was putting on my skin.
I truly think that zero waste living is actually simple if you follow the right steps: just like soap making!

FAQs
When does the course start and finish?
On average, we found that student complete the course and come up with their first formulations in about 3 months. However, this varies from person to person! You might take longer, and that's completely ok.
Do you provide a certificate of completion?
Yes! A signed certificate of completion is sent to you via email once you have completed the entire course (make sure all lessons have been marked as "complete").
How long do I have access to the course?
You have access to it for one year. After this, you will be unenrolled from the course platform, but you will continue to have access to the community on Facebook.
Why does the course access only last for one year?
You might be surprised, but when people are not given a deadline, they might procrastinate and fail to complete what they signed up for. We deeply care about our students success: by giving you a deadline, we can encourage you to value your time and experience inside the course, and achieve the goals you set your mind to.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
I would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact me in the first 30 days of your purchase date with your explanation and proof that you have tried the course. If there is a valid reason for why you are unhappy with the course, I will give you a full refund! However, please note that simply changing your mind with no explanation or because you just need the money back is not a valid reason. Please familiarise yourself with our terms and conditions.
How can I contact you if we have questions?
Each module has a Q&A section where you can review all the frequently asked questions. If your question is not there, you can ask a new question through a question box. We will answer any new questions once a week. You also have full access to the Soap Making for Zero Wasters Facebook Group to ask for help if you have a doubt, open discussions, ask for opinions etc.
In which weight conversion are the measurements given in the course?
Every recipe is given in both grams and oz. Plus, in the Recipe Calculator (Bonus in Module 6) there is also a grams/oz converter!
Why should I choose your course?
At present and to my knowledge this is the only online course focused on how to make palm oil free, vegan natural soap with a zero waste philosophy in mind.
