Book Reviews of Making Natural Liquid Soaps: Herbal Shower Gels / Conditioning Shampoos / Moisturizing Hand Soaps
Book Review: Concise, thorough and inspirational!
Summary: 5 Stars
Making liquid soap is not rocket science but it's not child's play either. With this publication Catherine Failor has succeeded in "demystifying" the process and while I wouldn't describe the book as "liquid soap making for dummies" it isn't overly complicated either. In my opinion someone that has some experience in hot process soap making will find it much less daunting to get into liquid soap making but a complete novice that follows the very clear step-by-step instructions and photographs should be able to make a successful batch of liquid soap at the very first attempt provided they use one of Catherine's recipes from the book. If you are an experienced soap maker or, like me, find it very difficult to follow any recipe to the letter without "tweaking" it here and there, the book contains all the information, charts and tables to calculate and formulate your own recipes. A fairly comprehensive trouble shooting section will be helpful in saving problem batches (and saving face with the family).The book has recipes and formulations for liquid soaps, shampoos for the whole family (including baby and the dog), bubble baths, shower gels and many ways to personalise and vary them. I find the chapter on fragrance formulations very helpful as I often lack imagination or inspiration in this department. These products make superb gifts and could be made and sold to supplement the family income too. The book is beautifully illustrated but I think I would have preferred it if there were less photographs of rubber ducks, hair brushes, fruits and vegetables and more pictures of the finished products with ideas for packaging and presentation.
If you're practical, crafty, and prefer natural bath products, this book is a must for you.
