Today’s guest is Natalia Cruz, the soap designer behind “EnJabonArte” – Guatemala. Here is her story:
“I began soapmaking about a year ago. Needing money, after I had quit my job, I had to do something with my life. In October 2009, I decided to become a full time soapmaker. The beginning wasn’t easy, in fact it still is tough, but I´m happy to say I am still reaching for my dream of having my own business.
I love glycerin soap because I can express my art easily on it. And I love how glycerin is on the skin. I can add almost any oil, extract, herb, etc to it just like with the Cold Process soap, with one benefit though: I can use it immediately.

Thank God, people love my soaps, and in December 2009 people started asking me to teach them, so I give basic classes of glycerin soap making, too.
I am a Sworn Translator and Marketer, but I am sure that making glycerin soap is my thing!”
