If you’re a brand new maker, brand owner (aspiring or current!), or an otherwise insatiably curious person who loves making stuff—and you want to create lotions, shampoo bars, creams, balms, and all sorts of other goodies that you actually understand—I can help with that.
(Laying on the floor with spatulas optional, but more fun than you’d expect)
