CONFUSING!!
I was sooo excited when I got this book. But quickly discovered, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I found it very confusing. It might be easier to understand if you have a degree in chemistry. I think there are much better books out there that are much much easier to understand

Gives Great Directions ( tamthom )
This book offers great directions for making soap. It also offers some excellent starting recipes to formulate some of your own.

so so
While Failor's book has some very detailed instructions, she makes the process of hand crafted liquid soap more difficult than it needs to be.

Making Natural Liquid Soaps: Herbal Shower Gels / Conditioning Shampoos / Moisturizing Hand Soaps
What a rip off. I wish I had read the reviews before buying. All I wanted were some good recipes and all I got were a bunch of percentages for this and that. Maybe I can use some of the pictures for decoupage.

Making Natural Liquid Soaps: Herbal Shower Gels is a good reference book
This book not only explains the mechanics of how to make the soap but it also explains the chemistry in practical ways. This enables me to make up my own recopies to the amount I desire with the proper balance of lye to different kind of oils. It also has starter recipes for the beginners. In short, I think this book is great for the beginner and one who wants to begin to be more creative in their soap making.
