When you arrive at Helleo, you’ll meet Manos, Stelios and their team and get a short introduction to the lab and the soapmaking process.
You’ll see the tools and ingredients they use — from their family’s extra-virgin olive oil to herbs, fruits, clays and fragrances — and discover how these become handmade soap.
Then it’s your turn.
Choose your ingredients, texture and fragrance, mix your blend and pour it into your mould, with the Helleo team guiding you through each step.
Your soap is ready to take home at the end of the workshop, together with your personal Soapmaker’s Card and Blend ID.
Before leaving, you can browse the Helleo concept store, featuring handmade soaps, natural fragrances, ceramics and other creations made at the lab.
And if you’d like to take it one step further, scan your Soapmaker’s Card and submit your creation to the Helleo Soapmakers’ Collection.
