The course was amazing. I learned so much about it, and I’ll keep going with Shona’s courses because she was clear, detailed and concise.
Fabrice MOUVEAU

Very detailed. I enrolled in other courses and I see the big difference in content. Thank you so much Shona for putting so much emphasis on safety protocols and explaining why a particular equipment must be used instead of another. I already knew this is the best course for soap making and I was right!
