description: Unlike most books on soapmaking, which typically teach the cold-process technique, a method that requires working with lye and several weeks of curing time, The Soapmaker uses safe, simple, no-lye methods and ordinary kitchen equipment to make a variety of all-natural bath and grooming products. The book features an exciting collection of over sixty recipes, including whipped cream and transparent glycerine soaps, shower gels, bubble baths, shampoos, and conditioners. A delectable array of ingredients, from rich essential oils to tangy citrus juices to soothing herbs and flowers, can be modified to suit individual preferences for color, scent, and skin type. Ideas for wrapping and packaging are also included for readers who want to give their scent-sational handmade soaps and other products as gifts. This book makes it easy for crafters, natural-ingredients enthusiasts, and devotees of fine grooming products to enjoy the handmade luxury of natural soaps.
