Colleen Trickett

Colleen began teaching soap making in 1999 after discovering a real need for cruelty free body products and the knowledge to create them. Rooted in her mastery of formulation, chemistry, Herbalism, and cosmetic regulations, her instruction blends technical precision with an approachable, down to earth style. Over the years she has guided thousands of makers, from curious beginners to beauty brand founders, helping them build skills, confidence, and creativity. After nearly a decade running her brick and mortar studio in the busy Atlanta area, Colleen chose a more peaceful life in the mountains, embracing the opportunity to reach a broader audience through online courses, live virtual workshops, and an international community of makers. Known for her clarity, warmth, and depth of knowledge, she is dedicated to empowering others to master their craft.
