Handmade Soap

Lavender and olive oil, honey and oatmeal, cinnamon and orange. These are just some of the natural ingredients that can be used in soap, an age-old craft that makes a perfect hobby - simple, rewarding and, most of all, fun. Clear step-by-step instructions and photographs take you through each stage of the soap-making process. There is also invaluable guidance on tools and equipment, materials and ingredients, and safety procedures. The book includes twenty unique soap recipes, using only pure ingredients, such as Goat's Milk and Almond Oil Soap for moisturizing and Seed Soap for exfoliation. There are also soaps for utter self-indulgence; relax with Lavender Oil Blocks, revive with spicy Clove Soap or luxuriate with exotic Sandalwood Bars. In this book, you will find the inspiration and know-how to make natural, yet beautiful, soaps.
