Making Natural Soap — Ebook + Companion Planner

You read every soap label and you'd like a bar where you know every ingredient. You've watched the videos, but lye still makes you nervous, recipes give cups instead of grams, and nobody tells you plainly what to wear, what to use or what to do if something splashes.

Making Natural Soap starts with melt-and-pour (no lye, bars the same afternoon), then walks you through cold process safely: goggles, gloves, lye into water, no aluminium, and how to run every recipe through a lye calculator. Ten recipes give oils in grams and ounces, the superfat, fragrance within supplier limits and a lye check value. Curing, storing, natural colours and a cosmetic-or-don't-use troubleshooting table are all inside. No skin claims, no hype: just good bars, made carefully.

Who it is for

• Beginners who want a first batch that works, with no guesswork about safety
• Label-readers who want bars with ingredients they can name
