Hi everyone. First I wish to welcome the new members. I’m very excited to have you on board. To the existent member I do apologise for the delay but you need to be aware uploading videos here been a challenge. I’m not the only one but finally I managed and it’s available on the classroom tab. Would love to get to know better and anxious to see your creativity. The video has no effect so ever and like I explain the real Castile soap doesn’t have colour. Just thought would be a good addition so you can see how easy can be to turn a simple soap to something more attractive too. Hope you enjoy this journey. This is a free basic course but I can guarantee you once you learn the basic, you half way to be a pro. And this is the original picture of the end result of my Castile soap. I may used AI for post but never with my creations. Stay tune as few posts been added. Happy formulations Love Petra

Hi everybody. Why Using the Right Ratio & Ingredients Matters in Formulation When creating skincare, haircare, or soap products, the right ratio and the right ingredients make all the difference. Many beginners believe that if an ingredient is natural, they can use any amount. But in formulation, balance is everything. ✔ Correct Ratios Ensure Safety Too much of certain ingredients (like essential oils, acids, or active ingredients) can irritate the skin or scalp. ✔ Proper Function of the Product Each ingredient has a role , some moisturize, some stabilize, and others preserve the product. If the ratio is wrong, the formula may not work as expected. ✔ Product Stability Incorrect ratios can cause separation, spoilage, or reduce the shelf life of your product. ✔ Professional Results Using the correct ingredients in the correct percentage is what separates a homemade mixture from a professional formulation. As formulators, we must respect the science behind every ingredient. The beauty of natural formulation is not only in the ingredients we choose, but in how we combine them. ✨ Remember: Great products are created with knowledge, patience, and precise formulation. ✨Always make sure your scale its working properly. Sense the Castile soap I formulated 4 new recipes soaps. Now have soaps till 2040 🤭. Happy formulations. Can’t wait to see your creations. Stay tune Love Petra Afro-Beauty Academy❤️❤️

Hi new friends how you all doing?!? For newbies in soap formulations here it’s a tip. For some reason you not happy with your soap results, please don’t bin them. The solution it to re-batch it. Re-batch it’s a term that is used in soap making terminology which basically means put into a crockpot, let it cook for 30/45 minutes and remould it. Did it a couple of time cause if I’m not happy I try again. And will do it again cause I ruined a soap with the design so will share the results with you, soon. I still anxiously waiting for y’all. Please if any enquiry, feel free and to send me a message. I got my inspiration mode turned on today. So will play with some M&P. 🫣 Happy soaping❤️. Love Petra
