Soap-making with Robin Blankenship

Plants have been used for cleansing the human body for millennia.  Free for use, they do not contain harmful chemicals, and lack the often cloying scents that have been added to modern soaps.  Many plants contain beneficial phytochemicals that are antiseptic, and as a bonus, some natural soaps are ideal remedies for contact dermatitis caused by poison-ivy and poison-sumac.  Learn the process to make plant-based soaps, and discover plants that can be used fresh, with leaves and/or flowers that will lather without any processing.  In this interactive class with a true expert, you can attain a new level of self sufficiency.
