Highly recommended, everything you need to know & more
 
Review Date: May 2, 2000
Reviewer: Angel Lee, Cleveland, OH United States
This is an essential guide for anyone wishing to make transparent soap. The author guides you seamlessly through the complex soap making process with step-by-step instructions color photos & a very helpful troubleshooting section.

The book starts out detailing the properties, advantages & disadvantages of each soap ingredient. Then safety precautions & equipment selection are outlined, including selecting a mold.

Two methods for making the soap & 8 vegetable-based soap recipes follow. Conveniently, complete instructions for modifying these & formulating your own original recipes are included as well. Adding dyes & fragrances is also discussed. Several essential oil fragrance formulas are included.

I was very impressed that the book included both instructions & complete plans in for making labor-saving tools including a square wooden soap mold, an adjustable-wire bar cutter & drill mixer. The extensive resource list including websites was also invaluable.

very good explanations

Reviewer: Midori Chadwick, Orlando, Florida USA
Ever read a soap box label? Ever wondered what all that stuff in soap does, why it's there? This book is very good at explaining what the components do, how they contribute to lather, if they dry or moisturize skin, etc. I found the information helpful even if I don't ever actually make my own soap (but I think now I want to try).

Reviewer: A. Prescott, Argentina
A truly generous teacher who doesn`t keep little secrets to herself. Sometimes you`ll have to re-read things more than once ( the secret parts other authors don`t want to teach us) but this is because she really has done her research on every single item and can teach you to do everything she says. She`s one of my heroes.
Great resource for intermediate soapmakers

Reviewer: Nakushita, Oak Harbor, WA
I found the first version of this book in my public library and fell in love with it when they got in the second I scrambled to be the first on the holds list and after perusing it and not wanting to give it up, purchased my own. The pictures in this book are amazing and extremely helpful. Using them as a guide I have made some beautiful bars of transparent soap that feel as good as they look. My soaps were clearer than any purchased glycerin soap or transparent melt and pour soap I have ever worked with. Additionally, the bars were harder and longer lasting than any other transparent bar (and many regular CP or HP) bars I have ever used. Failor's book offers more than just recipes and instructions for soap, but also information on how to cut, color, and shape your soap, nifty machines you can make to cut labor down, and other odds and ends that are especially helpful if you plan to manufacture larger amounts of soap.

With that said, this is not a book for beginners. I cannot stress this enough. Get a firm grasp of cold or hot process soapmaking, including getting a few successful batches under your belt, before you endeavor to make transparent soap.

Additionally, transparent soap is not the same thing as melt and pour soap. Melt and pour soap is a completely different process and requires specially manufactured soap bases that have a low melting point enabling creative soapers to do very creative things that may not be possible with cold, hot, or one of the many other soap making processes. Throw your transparent soap into the microwave to melt it and you'll end up with one very bubbly mess.
Great Book!

Great book and easy to use! I can't wait until I actually do a recipe out of the book!

Lisa asked:


It got me and my boyfriend high just like regular marijuana, and it did taste different. But it does say on the back “To be used for aromatherapy incense only”. These are the ingredients: Damiana, Colt’s Foot, Mugwort, Lion’s Tail, Mullein, Blue Lotus, red Clover, Siberian Motherwort, Vanilla, & Honey. Is this suppose to be a joke?

Aromatherapy Benefits



There is a rumor going around that there are certain oils that not only leave you feeling fresh and light, but also have certain healing properties. Have you heard that rumor? Yes? I have too, which prompted me to want to find out more. In my research, I was led down a path toward aromatherapy. Do you want to know more? Let’s explore together!

According to my research, aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses essential oils and other scented plant compounds in order to positively affect a person’s mood or health. On the technical side, the reason that the essential oils are different than other herbal products is because of the distillation process which recovers the lighter “phytomolecules.” Trust me; I don’t know what they’re talking about either. However, what I do know is that many praise its benefits and highly recommend it, so my research took me in the direction of learning what different types are available, and why they are so helpful.

History

Before we go into the types, I wanted to look at the history of this great medical tradition. Unlike many other natural medical alternatives, the roots of aromatherapy are grounded in the West. The term was coined by a French chemist named Ren
