Starter Soap Making Kit DECONSTRUCTED with R.E.D. Natural Silicone Mold

Another New Soaping Product from R.E.D.

Introduced to the R.E.D. line of products on April 25, 2020.

Includes everything you need to make a loaf of soap (maximum loaf size: 11.25(L) X 3.25(W) X 3.70(H)).

One step closer than Essential Depot's Starter Soap Making Soap Kit to making soap, from scratch. Still, no measurements required from bulk material. Each ingredient is separate, pre-measured for you yet separate, ready for you to combine to make 1 loaf of soap. Once you purchase this kit, then you only need to purchase a refill kit of the other kits to reuse the mold and basket combination.

Designed for educators in secondary classrooms, this kit is also perfect as an activity and entertainment aid as well as for gift giving. As an educational craft kit, use this kit to demonstrate through a hands-on involvement how to make a loaf of soap. Recently, however, not only educators use this kit, but it is also used in home school based projects, summer camp activities, as a senior hands-on crafating activity, and just pure family fun as well as fabulous gifts.
