Please watch the free lesson above, which goes into more detail about what you will need for the course. You will need basic ingredients and equipment that you either already have at home, or will be easy to find at your local hardware and grocery store. In terms of ingredients, you will need cooking oils, lye and water. In terms of equipment, you will need safety gloves, a stainless steel pot, stainless steel tablespoons, immersion blender, towel, heatproof glass or ceramic bowls, and a plastic ice-cream or margarine container. You do not have to buy a soap mould for this course.

If you intend on soap-making being a regular hobby, then I recommend having separate soap-making equipment. However, if you are just trying something new, and are unsure about whether you'll ever make soap again, then this course will teach you how to clean your kitchen equipment effectively so that it is safe to use for food again. There is no need to go and buy separate equipment just for this course.
