Ever wondered how does soap get made? From liquid oils to a solid soap bar? Has the thought crossed your mind on what it takes to be able to produce your own soap from scratch? What ingredients does a typical high quality bar of soap contain? Can you really make soap in your own home? Well, this easy to understand soap making book is an ideal starting point to quickly learn the basics of being able to make your own soap from the comfort of your home. The ingredients are often right in the kitchen already and with clear and easy to understand directions, you can make your very own soap in under 1 hour. All the formulations will produce high quality real soap bars perfect to use or gift to loved ones. One of the many things that is special about this book is the fact that all the recipes listed work and produce beautiful handmade soap time after time. The formulations have been designed to be easy to follow and make, meaning anyone without any prior knowledge of the soap making process can easily produce their own soap in under 1 hour (the equipment and ingredients on the list must be ready to use). The book also contains easy to understand tips and information such as the origins of soap and it's history.
