Making Soap:
Soap making can be fun, and often profitable if it is done safely. According to reviews given the book Making Soap for Fun and Profit by Hidden Meadows, Kathryn Doll, it’s not a book for the novice soap maker. The over use of lye, a dangerous chemical was one complaint that was heard through out the reviews done on this tiny little book; only 85 pages and the author brags about the empty pages to jot down your own notes and recipes.
There are a lot of good books out there about making soap, and if you do a little bit of searching, and even ask those that sell soap making supplies you will have absolutely no problem locating them. There are quick and easy recipes with glycerin soap that melts in the microwave, or you can make it completely from scratch. Handcrafted soap sells well at craft shows, and farmer s markets. It is an item that requires time and effort from the creator.
So it is my thought that one should be very careful in choosing the books that you would like to use to guide you down the path of making homemade soap. A worthy endeavor and you will never have any challenge finding someone in your family or circle of friends to try it out, and give you feed back. Just be careful, and have fun.
