300 Handcrafted
Soaps: Great Melt and Pour Projects by Marie Browning Soaps fragrant with cinnamon,
"painted" with natural coloring, stamped or laminated, that
fizz in the bath, and even have a written message! These 300 beautiful,
easy-to-make soaps are gentle on your skin and a magnificent addition to
bathroom décor. All use a simple melt and pour technique, and any
craft, grocery, health food and drug store will have the supplies you
need: a glycerin or coconut soap base, fragrances, additives (such as
flowers and green tea), colorants (spices, dried herbs, cosmetic-grade
color), and molds. What's really special are these recipes for
bee-shaped fruited honey bars; deliciously scented lemon sage scrub; a
heart swirl with smaller, decorative soap pieces embedded inside; a
French cameo; the leaf-shaped mountain therapy blend with gold luster
power; and many more!

The Soapmaker:
Natural Handmade Soap from Your Kitchen by Janita Morris
Unlike most
books on soapmaking, which typically teach the cold-process technique, a
method that requires working with lye and several weeks of curing time,
The Soapmaker uses safe, simple, no-lye methods and ordinary kitchen
equipment to make a variety of all-natural bath and grooming products.
The book features an exciting collection of over sixty recipes,
including whipped cream and transparent glycerin soaps, shower gels,
bubble baths, shampoos, and conditioners. A delectable array of
ingredients, from rich essential oils to tangy citrus juices to soothing
herbs and flowers, can be modified to suit individual preferences for
color, scent, and skin type. Ideas for wrapping and packaging are also
included for readers who want to give their scent-sational handmade
soaps and other products as gifts. This book makes it easy for crafters,
natural-ingredients enthusiasts, and devotees of fine grooming products
to enjoy the handmade luxury of natural soaps.

Essentially Soap
by Robert S., Dr. McDaniel
Essentially Soap was written from
the experience of a Chemist who worked in the soap and detergent
industry for twenty years (and is the inventor on 14 US Patents.)
"Dr. Bob" gives detailed discussions of rebatched, cold
process, and melt and pour soapmaking techniques. Additional topics
include the selection and use of natural and "unnatural"
colorants, the use of essential oils, and how to compose a fragrance
symphony blending fragrance "notes" to make a unique and
pleasing bouquet. There are over 140 beautiful full color photographs
illustrating the techniques and results plus over 30 recipes taken from
Dr. Bob's own line of soaps. And for those unexpected problems
confronting soapmakers, Dr. Bob has sprinkled the answers to the most
frequently asked questions throughout the book.

Melt & Pour
Soapmaking by Marie Browning
Melt & Pour Soapmaking
features dozens of luscious soap projects, with directions explicit
enough for the novice and ideas sophisticated enough for the practiced
soap maker. Accomplished craft designer Marie Browning (author of Beautiful
Handmade Natural Soaps) explores a wide variety of technique
variations, from chunk style and layered to additives, embeds,
embossing, and hand milling. Slice a marbled soap at angles for the look
of rock crystal; make delicate petal slivers using a silk rose petal as
a mold; blend fragrance oils to yield the scent of sea mist or the power
of Zen spice. There are also recipes for bath salts, massage oils,
sachets, potpourris, and dusting powder.

bars hosting colorful soap chunks, seashells, and even small plastic
toys, items include rebatched and cold-process soap balls and bars made
with botanical infusions, and other bath products such as salt glow and
bath oil. A gallery of eye-catching creations by accomplished soap
artisans provides further inspiration.

Country Living Handmade Soap : Recipes for Crafting Soap at Home by Michael Hulbert There are really just two ways to make soap -- the cold process and glycerin -- but there are literally thousands of ways to make that soap delightful. Beautifully colored and shaped soap is a joy to use; grainy soap is studded with sand or poppy seeds in an amazingly effective hand cleaner; and pure translucent glycerin soap is as gentle as it is clear. Shaping, coloring and mixing in additives are all covered in details. Soap, cut or molded into bars, squares, balls, domed bars, and round, is a joy to behold. Precious handmade soap can be personalized as gifts for the bride, for a newborn, or for a birthday by embossing a monogram onto the bar. Colors from subtle to pulsating add another dimension. Ingredients such as violet petals or coffee grounds create soaps that soothe and scrub. Sentimental soap made with May's lavender blooms is so romantic in November; pine scented soaps warm the month of December.Hardcover - 112 pages (March 1998)
