Description: "Soapmaking, once a practical necessity for the homemaker, has almost passed out of the repertoire of home crafts .... One can still make homemade soap with delightful fragrances and interesting textures. This book provides detailed instructions and recipes for basic lye soaps made with animal or vegetable fats, and for hand-milled and specialty soaps using almond meal, chamomile, glycerin, and milk that expand on those basic formulas. Shampoos and liquid soaps are covered as well". -- LJ. Tips on storing soaps to preserve their fragrance, wrapping gift soaps, and displaying bars of soap for sale will keep you putting your best soap forward. Tantalizing full-colored photos make this instructive guide a visual treat as well. You'll enjoy this age-old craft for many years to come.
