Pinaco Publishing - Make Soap! by Alicia Joy

Have you ever dreamed of making your very own soap from scratch?

Ever wondered what magic lies behind those beautiful bars you see on sale at craft fairs, farmers markets and on Pinterest? Want you create your own bars using only the best ingredients and most uplifting scents? Now is your chance!

If you've ever read a book or taken a class on soap-making, you've probably come away feeling utterly overwhelmed with ingredients and the method itself, as well as worried about doing it all in a safe way. You might even be quite self-sufficient and experienced at creating items from scratch, and want to have a go at soap, but feel out of your depth right now and are not sure where to start.

This book is exactly for you. Hidden within its pages is absolutely everything you need to know to go from complete beginner to expert at soap-making. Before you know it, you'll fall in love with the fun and creative process and find yourself designing your very own recipes that make people fall in love with soap all over again, making them feel pampered and spoiled, as well as soothing their aches and pains at the same time.
