10 years ago, a ragtag group of do-gooders decided to gather and strive to do their part to protect the environment and promote good health. Their weapon of choice? Cold press soaps and skincare products that are handcrafted using natural, plant-based ingredients, free of palm oil, harmful chemicals, and animal testing.
The group is not content to hoard all the good stuff to themselves. So, they eventually set out on a mission to share their knowledge with whoever is interested. That became the backbone of what is known as Sugar and Spice today.
Over here, participants not only learn to make bar and/or liquid soap from scratch. They can also shop for raw ingredients, mould, and use DIY kits to make special skin-care and bathing products they can call their own. A 2-hour-long introductory soap-making lesson starts at $120. By Hazel Tang
