Publications / Complete Catalogue / The Natural Soap Book

In response to the wide concern currently expressed over animal-product additives and synthetic ingredients in toiletries and cosmetics, this book focuses on making one's own nutrient-rich soaps, scented with natural oils and using only herbal and vegetable dyes. Step-by-step instructions are provided, down to some creative gift-wrapping of the end product. The author has included many recipes, from old favourites like oatmeal and honey or avocado, to her own for goat's milk, borage and a tropical shampoo bar. There are also tips for trouble-shooting, quickly assessing and correcting problems. All stages of the manufacturing process are covered, from the buying of supplies to cutting and trimming the final bars. Paperback 192 pages
