Maker's Friend Oils, Butters & Wax

Watch our soap making demo.

We are delighted to offer this packaged make-at-home soap kit so you are able to enjoy making your own natural, palm oil free soaps from the comfort of your home. There is sweet orange fragrance included but if you'd like to make fragrance free, you can leave this out.

The kit contains everything you need, pre-weighed in your very own soap-making pack and includes a disposable mould. You can make your soaps while watching our demonstration video (via the link above) or watch the video first then make the soap later at your own pace. 

You'll also receive email support via service@cosycottagesoap.co.uk if you have any questions about the make-at-home pack and the process of soap making.

The package includes:

- A soap-making demonstration video via the link above

     - Safety briefing

     - Demonstration of the end to end soap making process (throughout which you can take notes)

     - Email support for any questions via service@cosycottagesoap.co.uk 

The pack is sent to you via Royal Mail and contains all the materials you need to make your batch of soap at home. Most participants make their soaps after watching the video,  having taken notes and possibly emailed their questions, but some brave souls do 'make along with Clara'... It's up to you

Happy soap-making :)

Beeswax makes a useful addition to other triglyceride blends used in soapmaking and helps to enhance the long-lasting properties and hardness of your handmade soaps. 

These pellets, created from centrifuged, melted beeswax, are particularly useful as their small size will melt more readily than large tablets or lumps. The product is only very lightly fragranced so will not interfere with the resulting, chosen fragrance of your home made soaps or balms.

Our refined coconut oil is 100% coconut oil (unlike several similarly named products, which are actually derived from a combination of coconut and palm oils or just palm oil). 

The product is solid or buttery at room temperature in the UK, white when solid and transparent when liquid. It is also largely fragrance free making it a very versatile ingredient, suitable for making a variety of fragranced and unfragranced products.

The fractionation (refining) process, is essentially heating up and cooling down process to shorten the lengths of the natural carbon chains, rather than a process which involves adding anything to the coconut oil.

Castor oil is a liquid triglyceride, renowned as an antiinflamatory agent and said to be good for acne and puffiness. 

Our refined castor oil is pressed from the ripe fruit of the Rinicus communis trees grown in India.

The produst is a lightly coloured liquid at room temperature in the UK. It is also largely fragrance free making it a very versatile ingredient, suitable for making a variety of fragranced and unfragranced products.

Our cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is created from olives grown in glorious olive groves in the sunny Mediterranean. This fragrant oil is particularly beneficial for skincare and is rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, polyphenols, & phytosterols. All of these components help with skin and hair health.

Another component of olive oil is hydroxytyrosol, which helps with preventing free radical damage to the skin.

This premium grade oil retains its natural aroma yet does not overpower added fragrances when used in soap-making.
