A Must Have Soapmaking Book

“If you are going to attempt cold processed soap with tallow or lard, this is the book for you. I am familiar with soap calc, but sometimes it is nice to do a little studying on a new oil before diving into creating personal recipes. This book is an informative read on the subject. Jacqueline is a wealth of information and touches on about every aspect in the soap making process with tallow and lard along with rendering tallow, fat/oil/butter properties, soap colorants and additives, lye safety, essential oils descriptions, colorants, base recipes, and recipe expansion and so much more... topped off with a balm bonus section. Way more info than what I expected to get in this book. It was worth every penny paid, and the soaps produced have been enjoyed by my family and friends.

My advice is to sit and read it from cover to cover. Get some page tabs if there are reference points you want to revisit. The print is larger than most books which is a great bonus for those who need to look at the recipe from a distance while soaping or get tired of trying to focus on small book print, but until you get a few pages in can be a little daunting at first glance. The pages of the book are not stark white which is refreshing to my eyes. My only negative (and it is not a big one) is the lack of an index at the end of the book which is why I suggest page tabs.

This is by far one of my favorite soaping books, and the number ONE book for using tallow. If you are not a fan of formulating your own recipes, Jacqueline has it all done for you in this book. I highly recommend this for your soaping reference bookshelf. Many thanks to Jacqueline Dewey for a job well done!”

Fabulous Informational Book

“If you are new to tallow soap I HIGHLY suggest this book. The author guides you through all the necessary information for you to begin your journey!
She has different formulations already ready for you to use and tells you all the tools you need and what everything means! Plus there are pictures!

Buy the book! You won’t regret it!”

New to soapmaking? Advanced, but want to learn new things? Get this book!

I bought the Kindle version of this book and absolutely love it. The variations with the recipes Jacqueline Dewey brings to both the novice and the expert are innovative and refreshing. Along with that, many complex elements and ingredients of soapmaking are clearly explained, along with things to look for and things to avoid. She really helps the beginner from falling into some discouraging pits. I'm going to have fun with this book for a long time! Highly recommend.

Must Have

Bought my book a few months ago and it is constantly the one I reach for first. It’s clear concise and free of the toxins that mainstream soap from the grocery stores carry. I will never buy soap again! Thank you author!
