Uji pH, uji kadar asam lemak bebas dan alkali bebas, uji organoleptik, tinggi busa, viskositas serta bobot jenis dilakukan setelahnya. Saat pelatihan, peserta diminta untuk praktik langsung membuat sabun cair dengan bimbingan dari narasumber. Pelatihan diakhiri dengan sesi tanya jawab dan penyebaran kuesioner. Kesimpulan dari kegiatan pengabdian yaitu seluruh peserta merasakan manfaat dan termotivasi dengan adanya pelatihan.
