"A very readable how-to book. Full detailed instructions on making soap at home using lye, vegetable oils and other natural ingredients. Good descriptions, scientific explanations, troubleshooting, etc. plus a philosophy I agree with.
I haven't attempted to make soap yet and I'm not sure that I will, but if I try it, I'll follow the instructions in The Natural Soap Book."
"This book is an excellent introduction to cold process soapmaking, with easy-to-understand descriptions of the various oils and fats, essential plant oils, and natural dyes that can be used to make soap. Cavitch also presents her reasoning for avoiding animal byproducts, synthetic fragrances and colorings, and vegetable products produced with massive amounts of pesticides, all without proselytizing. The instructions are detailed and clear, and the accompanying illustrations are fantastic."
"Before I started making soap, I read this book cover to cover and then went back and re-read several sections. I still use it as a reference, though some of Cavitch's maxims I have found to not apply. But perhaps it depends on what recipe you're using?"
