A gentle soapmaking workshop designed for sensitive and reactive skin

If your home has dry, itchy or reactive skin, this is a calm introduction to kinder, fragrance-free soapmaking using ingredients chosen for barrier support and sensitive skin needs.

This is the first time Ita is teaching the full recipe for her popular Dreamy Baby Milk Soap, originally created for her own Mum, who lived with easily-reactive skin and found most soaps left her skin tight, uncomfortable or “flared.”

The creamy bar from this recipe quickly became a favourite for a number of families who prefer to avoid fragrance, colourants and harsh surfactants. Because the soap takes 6–8 weeks to cure, many quietly order it in batches to avoid running out. Now you’ll be able to make it at home for your own family.
