Alegna Soap offers organic soaps and skin care products made in small batches.

View Full Description

Alegna Soap offers organic soaps and skin care products made in small batches. Angela Carillo decided to take her career in chemistry in a new direction after her children left home. Through a journey that led her from library research to classes, conferences and communities of other soap makers, Alegna Soap began as a business in 2010. Her products are now in local bed & breakfasts, specialty shops and available online. Angela teaches classes in soap making to adults in NYC and on Long Island, and skin care classes to elementary students. She has written for The Soap Collaborative, and Making Soap Cosmetics & Candles (previously known as Saponifier). She reached an even wider audience when she was invited to show host Kevin Pereira how to make soap on TV’s Hack My Life.


Donating her time and products to help others in need is also important to Angela. She was one of a group of soap makers who traveled to Haiti to teach women in tent camps how to make soap and perfume as a way to support themselves. Through her initiative, “Soap for Soup,” Angela regularly makes a special batch of soap products from which the proceeds go directly to a Bethpage, NY, food pantry because of their generous help for a friend of hers years ago.

My goal is to empower You to learn to make soap safely and confidently, to be able to grow your curiosity into a lifelong hobby or business. Please go to our facebook page and follow the events link to see our upcoming class schedule.

View Full Description

Hi!  My name is Jen Richard and I'm addicted to making soap and cosmetic products.  I love that when I step into our shower, open the medicine cabinet, or start a load of laundry or dishes, I smile because I'm looking at products that are handmade, safe and effective.  I can pronounce all the ingredients, save money over store-bought versions, and have satisfaction that each item is made with care.

My goal is to empower You to learn to make soap safely and confidently, to be able to grow your curiosity into a lifelong hobby or business. If you want to live a more natural lifestyle and save money in the process, I can help steer you with which products to switch to making handmade, without being overwhelmed, frustrated, or wasting ingredients with failed attempts from Pinterest.

We offer the following soapmaking classes on a rotating basis:

Soapmaking for Beginners

Milk Soaps

Household Cleaners I and II

The Nova Studio

Email: email@thenovastudio.com

I have a passion for making natural products. I love teaching & sharing what I know with others. For 15 years I taught classes in California. Now I live in Ohio. The Nova Studio offers eClasses & class handouts, by myself & many talented teachers.

View Full Description

Like you, I have a passion for making natural products. I also love teaching & sharing what I know with other Makers. I started teaching in 2001 & opened The Nova Studio in Point Richmond in 2003. We held classes there until 2015. Now, I live in Ohio & our classes are predominantly online... so you can learn from anywhere!

The Nova Studio currently offers many opportunities for you to learn from home - like eClasses, Class HandoutseBooks & eZines by many talented teachers. We also have a helpful Blog with free tutorials, tips & tricks, recommended suppliers, exclusive discounts and more to help your business grow & thrive. 

One of my favorite things is helping Makers get farther in their businesses. Whether it's troubleshooting, product formulating, or help with teaching classes, if you tell me what you need I can let you know if I'm a good fit for the job (if I'm not, I'll refer you to someone I know who can help you). We can accomplish a lot in just a few hours (through video or phone consults). If you're near Dayton, OH, I also do private lessons. Connect with me at email@thenovastudio.com
