Muy bien explicado. Entendí perfecto el proceso de elaboración de jabones con la técnica de saponificación en frío. Y bueno, a pesar de que prefiero hacerlos con la glicerina para evitar manipular sosa cáustica, recomiendo mucho el curso y sus materiales.

Me gustó mucho la estructura del curso, ya que, primero nos presentaron la teoría básica para finalmente poder realizar nuestras ideas. El paso a paso es importante para comprender qué estamos haciendo y cómo podemos añadir nuestro toque creativo.
¡Gracias a ambos!
