The Natural Soap Book: Making Herbal and Vegetable-Based Soaps Review: A very educational book for beginning soap makers - I picked this book up because I was looking for a soap making book and this one fit the bill and was available on the Kindle. I am also only interested in vegetable oil soaps (no lard or tallow) since my hubby is a vegan. I found about 90% of the information presented in an easy to use form and was very applicable to someone who didn't know anything about making soap. I liked the part with the different vegetable oils and what they contribute to the finished product. I also tried one of the recipes (the shampoo bar for normal to dry hair) with good results. The recipes are made for HUGE batches (which is good for people who are selling their soaps) which doesn't help the beginning soap maker. I ended up translating the recipes to percentages rather than amounts which made it very easy to make any amount of soap. (My shampoo bar recipe made 3 bars) My suggestion for people who want smaller batches are to put the recipes into percentages then put the percentages into a lye calculator (I like SoapCalc) and put your recipe into grams. I picked up a cheap scale that does both ounces and grams and it works really well. I usually go for a 454 gram batch (about 1 pound) or 225 gram batch (about 1/2 pound). Those amounts are great for experimenting and will be able to show me rather I want to make a larger batch or make more of that recipe. If you are looking for a good book on making vegetable oil soaps, this is it. I would recommend it highly. It is also nicely formatted for e-readers like the Kindle. Review: A favorite of mine - For me, this book is a favorite. This book is from 1995 and I have no idea if it's been updated however by what I've seen in the book it closely resembles other books that I like. Very well laid out and in depth instructions to help you through the process. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0882668889 | | Best Sellers Rank | #627,689 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #100 in Soap Making (Books) #945 in Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement (Books) #1,126 in Herbal Remedies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (371) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.65 x 9.05 inches | | Edition | 6th | | ISBN-10 | 9780882668888 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0882668888 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 182 pages | | Publication date | January 8, 1995 | | Publisher | Storey Publishing, LLC | ## Images ![The Natural Soap Book: Making Herbal and Vegetable-Based Soaps - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Hi8lpX-6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very educational book for beginning soap makers *by L***) on March 15, 2011* I picked this book up because I was looking for a soap making book and this one fit the bill and was available on the Kindle.
