Maker and Teacher of Artisan Soaps, Shampoo Bars and Conditioner Bars 🇵🇭 Welcome to Habonera Soaps!

Last year, I decided my family and I deserve better for our skin care. So I studied and learned how to make all-natural soaps using cold process technique. Cold process soap bars are made using a combination of oils or fats and lye. Lye sounds a little scary, but all the caustic qualities of the lye are removed during the saponification process. It also requires 6-8 weeks of curing so the soap get

Impressive steady hands! ✨

When your work requires precision and steady hands, it definitely shows — especially in those spot-on final touches on your very first soap. 👏

What a fun and creative full day of private workshops with you, M! So happy to witness how naturally everything came together in your hands. 💛

For quite a while now, I’ve been dreaming of creating an experience that brings together my love for scents and meaningful moments shared with people we love most.

Today, we’re finally doing a little pilot run — with no less than our very own VIP, little Mr. Haber. 🤍

Our Mom & Me Cologne Making Workshop happening this May 30 filled up so quickly, and my heart is full. 🥹

Thank you for the excitement and support. I can’t wait to share this special experience with everyone joining us.✨️

Sometimes, we think we’re simply teaching people how to make soaps, shampoo bars, perfumes, etc… but every now and then, we receive messages like this that remind us it’s so much deeper than that. ❤️

Many people come into our workshops just looking for something new to try, a creative escape, or a little break from the usual routine.

But somewhere along the process of creating with their own hands, they slowly rediscover confidence, purpose, passion, and even a new path for themselves.

To everyone quietly dreaming of starting over, building something of your own, or pursuing the creative life you keep putting aside — maybe this is your sign to begin. ✨

You do not have to have everything figured out right away. Sometimes, one small class, one brave step, or one simple “let me try” can change the direction of your life.

And to our students who continue creating despite fear, uncertainty, and challenges… please know how proud we are of you. 🥹❤️

Keep creating.
Keep showing up.
Your journey is unfolding beautifully.✨️

Definitely a day to remember! ✨

Today, we delivered our soaps to 3 branches of one of my favorite stores in the Metro — BGC, Alabang, and Glorietta. 🥹

It still feels surreal seeing something that once started as a simple dream now sitting on the shelves of spaces I’ve always admired. So grateful for this beautiful opportunity to bring our handcrafted soaps closer to more discerning and eco-conscious consumers.🌿

A quiet little reminder that sometimes, the things we once only prayed for slowly become part of our reality. 🤍

Sometimes, freshly poured soap develops cracks on top as it hardens.

It may be influenced by factors like the soap formulation, additives, mold insulation, room temperature, or how much water is used in the batch.

It’s important to note that there isn’t just one single cause. So each batch tells its own story.🌿

But in cold process soap making, this is completely normal and doesn’t affect the quality or performance of the soap. It only changes the surface appearance.

And beyond the technical side, there’s something meaningful here: handmade work is never identical.

These variations are part of what make handcrafted products special. What some may see as flaws are often just natural expressions of the process—and proof that real craft is involved.

What we often call flaws are actually signatures of authenticity.🤍

Packing the orders we once only prayed for… in our own studio, with this view. 🥹

Grateful doesn’t even feel like enough. Just quietly in awe of how things unfold in their right time—and how grace always shows up in ways we never imagined.

Just grateful to God. 🌿

3 Things We LOVE About Our Students ✨️

They come in curious… and leave obsessed.
What starts as “I just want to try” quickly turns into late-night soap ideas, fragrance combos, and future business plans. 😊

They’re not afraid to start from scratch.
No experience. No background. Just the willingness to learn, create, and get their hands messy.

They remind us why handmade matters.
Seeing someone slow down, focus, and create something with intention never gets old.

Truly, one of the best parts of every workshop is watching people realize:
“Wait… I actually made this!” ✨🌿

Here’s today’s student, D, making her very first batch of soap after watching countless soap-making videos online.

Nothing compares to finally experiencing the real thing—hands on, from scratch, and made by you.🥰

Gift-giving becomes even more meaningful when it’s thoughtful and intentional. ✨

Happy to make it hassle-free for you, so you can focus more on your presence, your moments, and the people you care about. 💛

15/05/2026

Soap making timelapses make everything look fast… but in reality, every batch is made with slow, careful attention. ✨

Every measurement checked. Every movement intentional. Every detail closely watched.
That’s the beauty of mindful making — creating something beautiful by hand, while fully enjoying the process.

And somewhere between the mixing, pouring, and swirling… there’s also a lot of laughter and fun. 🥰

You discovered an introvert-friendly workshop… and suddenly creating feels safe, calming, and actually enjoyable. 🌿✨

Here’s why it works so well for introverts:
🤍 Smaller groups = less pressure
No overwhelming crowd energy. No fighting to be seen or heard. Just a cozy space where you can comfortably exist and create.

🤍 You can learn quietly at your own pace
No pressure to “perform” or constantly socialize. You can focus, ask questions comfortably, and truly enjoy the process.

🤍 It feels more meaningful
Introverts love depth over noise. Private workshops create real conversations, genuine connections, and moments that actually stay with you. 💛

Soft spaces. Quiet creativity. Gentle energy. 🌙
