## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One of the best soap crafting books available
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2014*

In addition to the beautifully laid-out photos and the clarity and logical sequencing of content, Melinda Coss goes the extra mile in  describing the importance of selecting ingredients. For example, she included a discussion on the importance of considering ecological & sustainability concerns when purchasing carrier oils and other natural ingredient from reputable suppliers.  For me, this issue and fair trade practices are very important.Beyond the usual discussions of the qualities and constituencies of commonly used carrier oils & waxes, Ms. Coss also included important information related to endocrine, hormonal and cellular health impacts of psuedo-natural, and synthetic ingredients frequently used by both commercial and home soap makers  to enhance specific qualities such lathering, foaming, creaminess, conditioning, and hardness.  Specifically discussed are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLeS), Parabens, DEA and Borax among others.This book offers good practical suggestions as well as scientific advice on soap crafting. For example, when explaining the process of saponification and its effect on skin-nutrient ingredients in carrier oils the author suggests investing wisely in lower-grade carrier oils like olive pomace instead of extra-virgin, first processed olive oil because pomace produces a better lather and perhaps even a harder bar. On the other hand, as most soap-makers are probably aware, certain oils like Jojoba (a wax), Borage Seed,oil and Emu are very expensive and should be used in small amounts or reserved for use in lotions & creams for which there are also wonderful recipes in the book.Of course, the author includes wonderful cold-process soap recipes and an excellent listing of reputable suppliers, some of which are U.K. based while others are located in the U.S. Unfortunately, some like Snowdriftfarms.com are no longer in business. I can personally attest to the quality of service and professional reputations of many resources included on the U.S. based portion of the list.Lastly, the author also provides helpful information on selling, marketing, advertising, promoting and packaging your soaps.I highly recommend "Natural Soap: Techniques and Recipes for Beautiful Handcrafted Soaps" to anyone interested in the craft whether for personal use or for professional development.

Basic, direct to the point with a touch of the author's personality.  It's like doing the soap with Melinda beside me.
