Book Reviews of Soap Book
Book Review: Always perfect batches of soap
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm surprised at the negative reviews! I was a beginner when I bought this book - now I've been making soap for about 5 years now. I have purchased more complicated soap books but always go back to this one for its simplicity.
Yes I use pure essential oils (wholesale in bulk) and yes they cost a bit more - but thats the point of making your own products - to avoid the cheap processed toxic junk thats out there! I use the soap and I sell it at local gift shops - people don't mind paying $4-$6 a bar when they are buying pure stuff.
I don't think some of these reviewers actually made the recipes - they just critiqued them. I use the quantities suggested and have never ruined a batch of soap - all lovey long lasting bars. A reviewer suggested using tallow to cut costs and make harder soap - first of all, yuk, I make soap to reduce the toxins on my body and 2nd, my bars have always been hard! They last a long time in the shower. They must be using soap that is only 24 hours old or something - soap has to age a week or 2 and you get nice hard long lasting bars.
Soap making does not need to be complicated - why do you need more than one recipe - it is the essential oils that change the soap.
