“I completed the Natural Skincare Course with the sole intention of seeing what would be involved in making my own skincare products. I was also curious to see how these products would compare to the wide scale manufactured goods that you find in supermarkets and health stores. The fruits of our labour were some really gorgeous products, prepared with care and made from entirely natural ingredients. They smell wonderful and feel absolutely delightful on the skin!

This course is perfect for those that are passionate about cosmetics that truly nurture your skin, as well as those that have sensitive skin who want to be more particular about what products they use. Not to mention those of you who obsess over reading the labels on everything they buy! Paula as a host was warm, engaging and inclusive. The course was delivered seamlessly and we were cared for on every level.

She really is a wealth of knowledge and you can see how passionate she is about sharing this with her course participants. I cannot thank the Old Bexley Soap and Candle Co enough for the experience and I simply cannot wait to get started making and potentially selling my own products!” - Aman Muttu

“It was the most amazing day of learning I had in ages! Paula is an absolute Angel! She's a great professional, very knowledgeable, patient, friendly, resourceful and friendly. I can't wait to go back to soap-making class. The atmosphere was great, the teaching was almost personal and gave us all great comfort. And not to leave out Rosa, her assistant, an amazing woman!

Both Paula and Rosa made us all feel welcomed and cared for. And yes, the lunch was great! :) I'm great and would recommend the classes to anyone who wants to have something new to look forward to in life. 5 start!” Graciete - Oct 23
