It's very educational and I think I might try making some of these recipes as it looks like a lot of fun.Also gives information about what to look out for when buying ready-made soaps and makes a bit more sense of the contents of what is out there on the market.I was exceptionally pleased to see that this book teaches more than making bars of soaps - it includes recipes for liquid soap and shampoo, as well as lotions, balms and scrubs. Could keep me busy for quite some time...The author also gives advice about selling the goodies once they are made or giving as gifts.I was also surprised to learn about alternative uses for batches of soap if they go wrong - or for left-over bits like trimmings or the ends from large blocks.I highly recommend this book for anyone thinking of starting to make soap as it will guide and inspire in everyday language that is easily understood by someone who might not know the techincal jargon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An enjoyable pratical book *by A***R on 8 October 2012* I purchased this book several months ago, and have been trying many of the soap recipes. The book offers a considerable variety of soaps to make from basic ingredients, using the cold process method, including hard and soft soaps. The book is easy to follow with comprehensive instructions, and descriptions of all ingredients.All but one of the soap recipes worked well, the sea salt soap did not work for me. The recipes are varied and offer an insight into possibilities for making your own soaps.The book also includes sections on creams and balms. I am about to make some of these, and given the success of the soaps, I am fully confident the recipes for these will work well.Some of the ingredients e.g. watermelon oil, have proved impossible to source in the UK, at least I haven't found a source. However, I think this book deserves a 5 star rating.If you are looking for a book to instruct you in how to make soaps I can recommend this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by H***S on 20 May 2014* This book is very clear, the information is easy to read and the illustrations are helpful and productive. I love the passion of the author. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48800956-natural-soap-techniques-and-recipes-for-beautiful-handcrafted-soaps-lotions](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48800956-natural-soap-techniques-and-recipes-for-beautiful-handcrafted-soaps-lotions) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
